FUNCTION KEYS
We have set each of the function keys to send a different con­
trol signal.
Control C and control S are traditionally used to indicate a
stop command; control Q means to resume sending and con­
trol P is a break key. (This tells the computer that you want to
exit the program you are currently running.)
Check the manual from the information provided to be sure
that these keys are to be used.
COMMUNICATING
WITH OTHER COMPUTERS
"Talking" with your computer to other computers is as sim­
ple as typing on the keyboard. As you hit each key, the
character is immediately transmitted through the modem to
the other computer. When communicating with another VIC
(or any other Commodore computer) all the cursor control
keys are active, including the CLR/HOME. This means you
could clear someone's screen from miles away!
