When the version of TEX finishes execution, it normally simulates terminal input of a line of the form
TeXspool: dvifile
without supplying a final carriage return. The default value of the logical name TeXspool: points to a dummy program which does nothing, so if you just type a carriage return yourself, the line is effectively ignored. This is reasonable in that it usually takes several trips through TEX before you have a .dvi file worth printing. If you like, you can redefine TeXspool: to point to your favorite DVI translator, for example,
define TeXspool: sys:dvialw.exe
Then when you type a carriage return when TEX finishes, it will run the translator immediately, saving you a line of typing. If you do not want the translator to run, just cancel the line by typing CTL-U or CTL-C.

A sample invocation of DVITYPE is as follows:

@dvitype
DVIFILE    : story.dvi
OUTPUT     : tty:
This is DVItype, Tops-20 Version 2.8
Output level (default=3, ? for help):

Options selected:
  Starting page = *
  Maximum number of pages = 1000000
  Output level = 3 (the works)
  Resolution =  300.00000000 pixels per inch
