0 Word/Character Mode
In WORD mode, any word extending beyond the end
of a line is automatically moved to the next line. In
CHARACTER mode, any word extending beyond the
end of a line is broken apart and continued at the begin-
ning of the next line. Press
mmilI
and type 0 (zero) to
switch between the two modes. The message WORD
MODE or CHARACTER MODE appears in inverse video
on your TV screen each time you switch modes.

Keypress Echo On/Off
With KEYPRESS ECHO ON, your TV screen displays
characters as you type them on your keyboard. With
KEYPRESS ECHO OFF, the screen displays characters
only after they've been sent to the service, then echoed
back to you. When a service doesn't echo your transmis-
sion and the characters you type aren't displayed on
your TV screen, switch to KEYPRESS ECHO ON by
pressing
mmilI
and typing 3. The characters you type
will then appear on your screen. If characters you type
appear twice, switch to KEYPRESS ECHO OFF by press-
ing
mmilI
and typing 3.
mmilI4
Data Stop ON/OFF
When you first turn on your ATARI 1030 Direct-Connect
Modem, it places all incoming information in your com-
puter's memory buffer. Eventually, the computer's
memory buffer will fill up, and the oldest information
received will be replaced by new data as it comes in;
the message NEWEST DATA RECEIVED appears above
the old information to separate it from new data.
But ModemLink lets you store a certain amount of in-
coming information in the memory buffer, so you can
read it again. How much information your memory buffer
can store depends on how much RAM (random-access
memory) your computer has.
With
Your memory buffer
can store up to:
55 lines
455 lines
865 lines
16K RAM
32K RAM
48K RAM
To store data in the buffer, you must first switch to
DATA STOP ON by pressing
mmilI
and typing 4. The
mmilI
4 combination
always erases all contents of the
memory buffer when the buffer is on, so you must select
DATA STOP ON before receiving
the data you want to
store.
