Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide


A 1/2 second pause in a string is represented by a CTRL-P. For
example, to define a function key to send two strings delimited by
carriage returns with a full second pause in between, the string might
look like: SEND ME^M^P^PTO THE MOON^M. Pressing the function
key containing this string well display SEND ME with a return, wait
one second, and display TO THE MOON followed by another return.

Function key definitions may be saved in individual files by selecting
Save function keys on the same menu. In order to tell Novaterm
to reload the same function key definition file each time you boot the
program, you must also save the configuration file (see 4.5.2, Save
configuration
), which will record the current function key file name.

4.7.2 Device settings

Novaterm has four categories of operations where disk access is
involved. You may specify a disk device for each of these operations:

Program device:  Novaterm uses this device to load or save files to disk
from the buffer. The automatic buffer save uses this device (see 4.7.10,
Save buffer when full).

Upload device:  When you upload files, Novaterm looks to this drive.

Download device:  Novaterm saves downloaded files on this drive.

Buffer device:  Novaterm uses this device to load or save files to disk
from the buffer. The automatic buffer save uses this device (see 4.7.10,
Save buffer when full).

To set the disk device number for any of these options, enter the
device number, followed by a comma, followed by the drive/partition
number. The drive/partition number (distinct from the device
number) is used when you have a single disk device containing two or
more drives, or a partitioned hard drive or RAMLink/RAMDrive. If
you are using only single disk drives, the drive number should always
be 0.

Novaterm accepts values between 8 and 30 for disk device numbers.
(Novaterm also accepts a disk device of 1, which is used by some
