The status line also indicates what to do next, for instance, " RUN-
STOP TO END" , or " PRESS A KEY" , or a disk status message.
Now let's discuss each key in detail.
[ALT]A
The status line displays the current modem setting. If this incorrect,
you may change this by hitting <RUN-STOP> and C*0 (see below).
Enter the number to be dialed in the form:
t555-1212
p555-1212
Press <return> after entering the number.
A comma inserted in the telephone number causes a one-second
delay.
To hang up the phone (modem), type: h then <return>
To answer a call, type: a then < return >
Toexit, press <RUN-STOP>.
[ALT] B
This key will toggle the buffer ON or OFR The buffer is an area in the
computer's memory for storing information which you can later
dump to the disk or the printer ([ALT] D). When the buffer is ON, a
" B" will be visible on the status line. When the buffer is OFF, you
will not see a " B" on the status line. The number in the top left hand
side of the status line is the number of bytes free in the buffer. When
the buffer fills completely, a " BUFFER FULL" message will be dis­
played on the status line, and the transmission will be paused. Use
the [ALT] D option to save the buffer to disk, and/or clear the buffer
for more information. When this is complete, you may continue by
pressing <CRSR-DOWN>.
[ALT] C
This key will take a " snapshot" of the current screen and put it in
the buffer. This can be later saved to disk, or printed out, or dis­
played on the screen by using the [ALT] D command. The only indi­
cation of this happening is that the number of free bytes in the
buffer decreases in the upper left.
