USER'S GUIDE
Here you mis-typed the first letters of the call and rubbed them out. The PK-232 dis-
played "
" for each letter erased. You then retyped the call and re-displayed the char-

acters on the new line.

The PASS Character
You may want to include a special input character in a packet. For example, to send se-
veral lines in the same packet, you must include <CR> at the end of each line, bypass-
ing its "send-Packet" function except at the intended end of the packet. You can include
any character in a packet (including all special characters) by prefixing that character
with the pass character, <CTRL-V>:
I wasn't at the meeting.<CTRL-V><CR>
What happened?
Without the PASS character, this message would go as two packets. By prefixing the
first <CR> with <CTRL-V>, you send it all at once, but maintain the <CR> in the text.

If you've set the "send-packet" character to <CR>, you'll probably want the <CR> to
be included in the packet for display at the other end.
If you set the send-packet character to a non-printing character, you'll probably want
that character to be treated only as a command. The ACRPACK command determines
whether the "send-packet" character is echoed and included in the packet.
You can add a <LF> after the <CR> in your packets by setting
er station reports that the lines are overprinted on his display and he can't change it at
his end, set
These formatting features and commands are described in full detail in the "Command
Summary" chapter.

Multiple Connections
Multiple-connection capability is a very powerful addition to your PK-232's "bag of tricks"
that can be very useful for traffic net operation, multi-user bulletin board and host com-
puter systems, path checking and just plain "round-table" ragchews.
A multiple connection isn't the same as a "multi-Way" contact. In a multiple connection,
you can establish separate "point-to point" links with several different stations. In a multi-
way contact (this feature isn't available yet), several stations are simultaneously con-
nected to each other, a network in which each station sees all of the data passed from
any station in the group, with full error correction in effect.
