Packet Formatting
The PK-232 uses some special characters to control its operations. Many of these special
characters can be used to "edit" commands and text as you type. You can "personalize"
these features to suit you and your computer. Most of the special input characters are ac-
tive in both Command and Converse modes; any exceptions will be noted.
Some of your PK-232's command parameters affect how your packets are formatted –
how your typing appears to the rest of the world. Other commands let you correct typing
errors before your packet is sent, cancel lines, cancel entire packets if necessary.
If the default command character is unsuitable for your computer's terminal program, you
can redefine each function using any ASCII character appropriate to your needs.
See the "Command Summary" chapter for full details on how to define these formatting
and control features and commands.
