Saving the Options Y
00
Have Selected
You can create a customized version of
TERMINAL -
one which starts up
with the options you have selected. For example, the break character and
key,
ern
and
em
characters and auto sign-on message, could all be saved so
you won't have to set them each time you start the program.
Options which may be saved in a customized program:
• Prompt wait and definition of prompting character
• Definition of break character or sequence from host program and assignment of a
break key on your computer
• (tl) and
CE:ID
characters
• Line feed option
• Printer option
Self~echo
option
• Video filter option
• Auto sign-on option
• Receive into
RAM
option (not recommended)
• Speed of transmit from
RAM
and auto sign-on (as set by the
CD
and (!) keys).
Once you find out the maximum rate of transmission the host program can
handle, you'll probably want that to become the default rate.
After selecting the options for your customized version, you use the
DUMP
command to create a new program file. Terminal resides from X'3000' to
X'3FFF', and its entry point is X'3000'.
You must give this customized program a name other than
TERMINAL -
and
leave
TERMINAL
in its original configuration. Suppose you want to call your
customized version
MINE.
Then type:

TERMINAL
will start.
