Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide
C= U - Upload a file. (see 3.4.6, Sending a file)
C= V - View disk directory.
C= W - Toggle scroll-ahead. In 80-column mode, scrolling is
normally done by scanning the incoming data stream for carriage
returns, and scrolling the screen several lines at a time in anticipation.
This is done to make the scroll more efficient. This option allows you
to turn the feature off, for situations where the multiple-line scrolling
interferes with how text is supposed to be arranged on the screen.
C= X - Send break signal. This produces a 250 millisecond break in
the data signal. On many on-line service providers, a break signal
causes an interruption of some sort.
C= Y - Restore default attributes. This changes the screen and
cursor back to the colors previously set in the Configuration menu
(see 4.2, 40/80-column settings). In 80 columns, this command also
turns off reverse and underline modes. If you received some funny
characters that changed your text color, just press C= Y to return to
normal.
C= Z - Exit terminal mode, or abort script. Normally, this
command leaves terminal mode and returns you to the Main Menu. If
a script is running, however, this command stops the script, but keeps
you in terminal mode. You must then press it again to return to the
Main Menu.
C= + - List menu on printer. This command lists a menu of these
commands on your printer.
C= @ - Disk command. Prompts for and executes a disk command
from terminal mode.
C= - -Toggle transfer translation. (see 3.4.8, Transferring text
files from non-Commodore systems)
C= 0 - Enable/disable Commodore keys. When you press C= 0
(zero), a carat symbol appears in the status line. This indicates that the
key commands are disabled and become normal graphics characters
again. This allows you to type graphics characters, say, for creating a
graphics screen in a message on a BBS. Pressing C= 0 again removes
the caret symbol and changes the keys back to commands.
