### 1031
F1
Will `toggle' the display so that
usually non-displayed control characters
are displayed in reverse video using the
upper case letter that they are
equivalent to.
### 1032
F2
Will `enter' the line that the cursor is
positioned at. This is equivalent to
the ENTER key on the HP-2621 and is the
same as if you retyped the line.
### 1033
F3
Send a BREAK
### 1034
F4
Provides a sorted listing of the
specified directory.
### 1038
F8
Freezes the display above the cursor.
Handy to save some data on the upper
portion so you can see it as you do
other commands.
### 1039
F9
turns on the row/column display at the
bottom of the screen so that you know
where the cursor is currently
positioned.
### 1040
F10
Toggles XON/XOFF. A convenient way of
stopping/restarting the output to the
CRT when connected to a system that
honors the XON/XOFF protocol for flow
control.
### 1061
Alt-F1 or Alt-255
Will terminate SIMTERM, but leave the
DTR line high so that you can restart
SIMTERM and pickup where you left off.
### 1062
Alt-F2
Terminate SIMTERM, and drop DTR so that
the modem will hang up.
### 1063
Alt-F3
Toggles the DTR (data terminal ready)
lead on the communications line. This
is used to drop the carrier at the modem
so that you can redial.
### 1064
Alt-F4
Toggles the graphics-mode. This will
display characters with their parity
bits so that the `graphics' characters
of the PC (>127) are should. This is
used on some of the BBSs.
### 1065
Alt-F5
Clears line 25 if it becomes cluttered.
### 1066
Alt-F6
Display various mode settings on line 25.
### 1067
Alt-F7
Resets the communications software. In
some instances an interrupt might be
missed and leave the system in a state
where it is expecting data that will not
be sent. If you suspect this, try an
Alt-F7 before rebooting the software to
see if it breaks you out of the
situation.
### 1003
Alt-C
Puts SIMTERM in a `capture' mode so that
all input received over the
communication line is logged to a disk
file. Handy for picking up ASCII text
from a system that does not support
XMODEM. It will prompt you for a file
name.
### 1004
Alt-D
Will `dump' a ASCII file on the PC to
the comm line. This is a way of
`uploading' to a system that does not
support XMODEM.
### 1005
Alt-E
Toggles the `vi' mode. Handy when you
exit SIMTERM and then come back into it
with UNIX still in `vi'. The mode
should be TRUE to have the cursor keys
work for `vi'.
### 1006
Alt-F
Enter the `local' line editting mode.
This allows you to make corrections to a
line and then reenter it. Use the
cursor control keys to move to the line,
`Ins' and `Del' to fixup the line and
then hit return to reenter the line and
leave the line edit mode.
### 1022
Alt-V
Will display a menu that is used with
the `auto-dial' capability of the
Ventel. Once in this menu, select the
desired feature.
### 1064
Alt-F4
Toggle parity mask. SIMTERM usually
strips off the high bit before
displaying a character on the screen.
If you dial a board that uses character
graphics, toggle this switch.
