Print; Home; Write (Option T Only); Out Character - IBM 5100 Communications Manual

Print
To print the data in the extended display during an edit operation, press the print
key. Printing starts with the data moved to the input line on the display screen and
continues through the last full line of the extended display. (The last full line is the
line above the input line when the data is in the home position.)
Home
CD
Pressing the home key during a scroll or edit operation moves the displayed data to its
home position, which displays the first 64 characters of the 14 most recent lines of
the extended display. Pressing the home key also ends the edit operation without
transmitting the edited line, and if the line was not edited, no data is lost from the
extended display. You can also use the home key to remove the bypass function
(print inhibit), if it is active. The: bypass function is activated by the remote system
to inhibit output from the 5100 for security purposes. To ensure data security, you
should not use the edit operation or the
~TAPEIN
command when the bypass
function is active.
Write
(Option T Only)
To write the data in the extended display on tape during the edit operation, press
the write key. Writing starts with the data moved to the input line of the display
screen and continues through the last full line of the extended display. (The last full
line is the line above the input line when the data is in the home position.) In order
to write data on tape, the tape must have been previously marked and the tape file
opened for output. To protect the data written on tape, enter the
~CLOSE
command
after the write operation is complete.
OUT Character
o
Pressing this key displays the OUT character
(0
backspace U backspace T) on the
input line on the display screen and also transmits it if the 5100 is transmitting.
Use this key to escape from the quad quote (
~
) request for input when the 5100
is communicating with an APL system.
