- Answers to the 12 most common questions about UniTerm

-
- 1) Q: How do I enter control codes on the function keys?
-
- A: This causes a lot of people trouble because they don't try
- the obvious; just press <Control> and the key. Example:
-
- <Control><A>
-
- enters the control code ^A (SOH), which is a small up-arrow
- in the Atari character set. Have a look at appendix B in the
- users guide for more information.
-
- 2) Q: Why does UniTerm crash when I try to have it autostarted from
- the `Auto' folder?
-
- A: Because UniTerm is a fully-fledged GEM program, and GEM is not
- initialized when the programs in the `Auto' folder are run. There
- are various workarounds of this problem available, but they all
- depend on undocumented features of the operating system.
-
- 3) Q: How to I run a program from UniTerm, I use [Run Program] but
- I always get TOS error 39?
-
- A: You have to tell UniTerm to give enough memory back to TOS
- (the Atari operating system) to run your program in. You can
- do this with the dialog that appears when you select [Buffers]
- from [Settings] menu, change the value for the `system' buffer
- to something larger than the size of your program (this can be
- quite a bit more, Tempus needs about 180kB to run in). If you
- don't seem to have enough memory, check if you have the tektronix
- mode disabled (in the [Graphics] dialog), if you disable this
- function and save your default setup file, you should have 32kB
- more memory available.
-
- 4) Q: On my German, French, Danish etc. keyboard UniTerm won't allow
- me to access a character that I have to press <Alternate> to get
- at, how to I get around this?
-
- A: I've tried to put all default <Alternate> key bindings on to
- keys that are not used by the BIOS, none the less it can still
- happen that there are conflicts. The solution is very simple
- the macro command:
-
- REASSIGN(alt-key,command)
-
- will allow you to assign a command to one of the <Alternate>
- key combinations, if you use 0 for `command' the character
