Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide
won't always store data in the buffer; you control when the "buffer
capture", as it's called, is active.
Remember the "RAM device driver" modules (section 1.3.3)?
Novaterm may use a memory expansion device as storage for the
buffer. If you have a Commodore RAM Expansion Unit
(1700/1750/1764), a RAMLink or RAMDrive, or a BBG/GEORam
cartridge, you'll have a lot of room available for capturing text.
The buffer menu provides optons for working with the contents of the
buffer. Novaterm's buffer actually behaves like a disk. It has a
directory, and files are stored with individual file names. You can
create, rename, and scratch files, as on a normal disk.
