Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide
Each file can reside in a particular subdirectory, numbered 0 through
30. You use the Change subdirectory option to specify the
current subdirectory. The Buffer directory option will list only
those files in the current subdirectory.
For instance, if you have a number of script files loaded in the buffer,
they could clutter up the directory, and a capture file you created
would show up along with the scripts. Therefore, by default,
Novaterm loads and executes scripts from subdirectory #1, while
buffer captures use the current subdirectory (which is set to #0 when
you start up Novaterm).
Furthermore, by changing the Device Settings for the upload and
download device, you can direct file transfers to use yet a different
buffer subdirectory, (see 4.7.2, Device settings).
3.3.4 Capturing text in the buffer
Text captures are initiated from terminal mode. To capture text,
switch to terminal mode, and follow these steps:
1. Press C= O (see 3.1.3, Commodore key commands, C=O).
2. Type in the file name of the capture file. This file is opened in the
buffer. From this point on, any text that is displayed on the screen
is also stored in the buffer capture file.
3. If you want to keep the capture file open but temporarily stop data
from being stored in it, press C= B. The B in the status line turns
off, indicating the capture is paused. Press C= B again to resume
the capture.
4. When you have captured all the text you want, press C= O again
to close the capture file.
The capture file now exists in the buffer directory. You can switch
back to the Buffer Menu and use any of the options described below
on the file. (Of particular note after the text capture is the Save
files to disk option.)
3.3.5 Downloading a file to the buffer
To download a file to the buffer (using a file transfer protocol), you
must change the Download device on the Device settings
menu to the buffer. See section 4.7.2, Device settings for information
on how to do this.
