C.4.6.2. Sending the End-of-file character
If communications should get interrupted, the receiver will wait end-
lessly for an end-of-file mark to correctly terminate transfer. You may
supply this character explicitly by typing the command
$COPY X:EOF X:AUXOUT
Of course, you can as well create an empty file by means of the command
$COPY X:EOF NULLFILE
if you insist to do so.
C.4.6.3. Direct Screen Output
You can use your computer, for example, as a graphics output terminal
for another computer. Map the RS- 232 interface to the AUXIN: device
(please refer to=> $DEVICE) and enter:
$COPY X:AUXIN X:CONOUT -PROT -ASCII

C.4.7. Abort Copying
Enentually, you will mistype commands and would therefore like to abort
the copy program. You can do this anytime by typing a BREAK character.
Copying is then immediately aborted, .and the protocol reads, for examp-

The devices AUXOUT and AUXIN can also be interrupted by entering a
BREAK character. This becomes essential when communications should break
down. When you type a BREAK character, Ctrl-Z is sent automatically,
resp. deposited in the receiver's file.
