AMTOR PORT OPERATING HINTS
IF YOU HAVE BEEN SITTING IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE TYPING A
COMMAND, TYPE CR/LF JUST BEFORE ISSUING THE COMMAND. THIS CLEARS
ANY STRAY LEADING CHARACTERS FROM THE BUFFER THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED IN ERROR DURING THE IDLE PERIOD.
IF YOU GET A LONG FILE STARTED AND WOULD LIKE TO ABORT, SIMPLY
SEIZE THE LINK, WAIT FOR IDLE STATUS ON YOUR AMTOR TERMINAL, AND
TYPE 'A' (CR/LF). THE SYSTEM WILL RETURN A 'BK GA' PROMPT AND
ACCEPT A NEW COMMAND FROM YOU.
REMEMBER THAT THE FIRST LINE OF A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ON THE
MESSAGE LIST AS THE SUBJECT. MAKE IT MEANINGFUL TO SOMEONE
SCANNING THE LIST.
