MODEL II TRSDOS
Suppose the host program sends a question-mark (code X'3F') when it is
ready for a line of text. Then type:
"···-ENTER MENU E;ELECT I 01\1
(ENTER)
PROMPT OPTION NOW OFF
PRESS ENTER TO LEAVE AS-IS OR ENTER NEW CHARACTER
PROMPT OPTION ON WITH '7' AS THE CHARACTER
--ENTER MENU SELECTION
a a
From now on during auto sign-on or transmit from
RAM, TERMINAL
will wait
for the question-mark prompt before it sends a line.
Note: When you start the transmit from
RAM
(X option) or auto sign-on (0
option), the first line will be sent immediately, without waiting for a prompt.
Each subsequent line will be sent after a prompt has been received.
To turn the prompt wait feature off, press
(HOLD)
when the program asks
for a new character.
F
Set/Change Fl
&
F2 Keys
This command lets you program F1 and F2 to output any code from zero to
255. This is useful when you will be using a particular code frequently.
For example, suppose the host program accepts a X'13' as a pause control,
and X' 11' as a resume. After receiving a pause character, it waits for a resume
character before sending any more text.
Although you can send these codes from the keyboard ( CTRL
Q
is a X'll'
and CTRL S is a X'13'), it would be more convenient to program F1 and
F2 to send these codes. Type:
.......... ENTER MENU E;ELECT
l(ll\l
(ENTER)
F1 KEY WILL.. SEND A 01 HEX CODE

Now when you type (tIl in the interactive terminal mode,
TERMINAL

the pause control X'13'.
