Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide


redefined to send strings to the modem when you press them in
terminal mode. These are useful for defining strings that you find
yourself typing often (such as your user name and when logging into an
on-line service). Novaterm calls them "function keys" or "macro
keys".

There are 16 function keys available. F1 through F8 are accessed as
shown on the keyboard. The remaining function keys are accessed by
pressing either CTRL or the Commodore logo key in combination with
the function keys, in the following order:

F9:    CTRL-F1                F13:    CTRL-F5
F10:    C= F1                 F14:    C= F5
F11:    CTRL-F3               F15:    CTRL-F7
F12:    C= F3                 F16:    C= F7

The F1 key is reserved for BBS password definitions, and does not
appear on this menu (see 3.2.1, Creating a dialing entry).

The function keys are defined from the F-key definition men. (See
4.7.1, Define F-keys for more information)

3.1.5 Key assignments

There are a few characters that do not exist on the C64 keyboard.
These are characters that are part of the standard character set used by
the rest of the world. To accommodate these characters, some of the
graphics keys have been redefined.

To get: Character: Type:
escape key left arrow
tab key RUN/STOP or CTRL-I
backspace (8) INS/DEL
true delete (127) CLR/HOME
backslash \ British pound
underline _ shift-@ (at)
left brace { shift-+ (plus)
right brace } shift-minus
vertical bar/pipe | shift-British pound
back apostrophe (grave) ` shift-* (asterisk)
tilde ~ shift-^ (caret/up arrow)

In addition to the above characters, the entire lowercase European
character set is available. In order to use these characters, you must by
using either ANSI or VT102 emulation, have local echo turned off,
and have the Commodore command keys disabled by pressing C= 0
