UTILITY PROGRAMS
Running Terminal
Since
TERMINAL
allows you to enter any
TRSDOS
library command, it is not
necessary to initialize channel A or the printer before starting.
From the
TRSDOS READY
mode, you can start
TERMINAL
by typing:
TERMINAL
The program starts up in the menu mode, with the prompt:
-- ENTER MENU SELECTION •.
Note: When we show computer prompts and user input in the same example,
we highlight the user input with a gray background.
Now is a good time to initialize channel A according to the requirements of
the host program you are going to communicate with. Type:
-- ENTER MENU SELECTION
The program will prompt you to type in a
TRSDOS
command. Type in the
SETCOM
command just as you would in the
TRSDOS READY
mode. For
example,
ENTER TRSDOS COMMAND (1-79)
(ENTER)
would enable channel A with 300 baud, seven-bit words, no parity and two
stop bits. After executing the command, control will return to
TERMINAL'S
menu mode.
If you plan to use the printer option of
TERMINAL
(described later on), you
should also initialize the printer now, with the
FORMS
command. Type:
_ . . -. . ENTER I"IENU !:;EL..ECT I ON
(ENTER)
and enter the appropriate
FORMS
command.
To select another menu command, type in the letter specified in the menu
table. For example, type:
-".- ENTER I"IENU !:;EL..ECTION
(ENTER)
to redisplay the entire menu.
