                     sPORTt                         Press any key to continue...
                     (serial PORT tester)

                     The menu on the left of your screen is the list of  choices
                you can make while running sPORTt.  Press a function key to make
                your selection.

F2- Port             Toggles the port number between COM1 and COM2.

F3- Options          Set  the  communication options to agree with those of your
                external device.   Use <RIGHT-ARROW>  or  <LEFT-ARROW> to toggle
                values.   Press <ESC>  to go back to what you were doing without
                making any changes.  Press <F10> to save your change.   You must
                set these correctly in order to succesfully transmit or receive.

F4- RTS              Toggles power  on  or  off  RTS, which is pin 4 on a 25-pin
                serial connector or pin 7 on a 9-pin connector.

F5- DTR              Toggles  power  on  or  off DTR which is pin 20 on a 25-pin
                serial connector or pin 4 on a 9-pin connector.

F6- ASCII            Changes the format of the data (both incoming and outgoing)
                in  the  communication  display  window from ASCII to decimal to
                hexidecimal to binary and back to ASCII.

                                                    Press any key to continue...

F7- Send             Asks you  the  name  of  a disk file which you wish to send
                from  your computer.  Once sPORTt locates the file, it is trans-
                mitted automatically.  You can close the file at any time during
                transmission by pressing <F7> again and then <F2>.

F8- Capture          Asks  you for  a name of  a disk file in which to save data
                transmitted to your computer.  When the transmission is complete
                the  file  remains  open for more until you close it by pressing
                <F8> again and then <F2>.

F9- Handshaking      When  you  are  sending  to another device, it may have the
                capability  of  shutting  down one of the lines, DSR, CD, or CTS
                when its buffer gets full.   If you know which pin it is, select
                it by  pressing <F9> and sPORTt will pause when the pin goes off
                and  start  again when the pin goes on again.   Experiment.  The
                asterisk points to the handshaking line to be used.
