The async terminal supports character matching for entering values in fields. For
example, if the values for a field can be DTE, NET, or PORT and you enter a D and

Once an operation is initiated, status messages appear in the last row of the
screen. These include Please Wait (when a command takes longer than five
seconds) and Command Complete.
