10.1.3 Session <Alt-S>
<Alt-C>
Capture Allows you to capture characters, as they appear
on the screen, to a disk file, or logging it to a
printer. Since the Terminal filters out NUL
characters (ASCII 0), they will never appear in a
capture file.
Other characters and control sequences may not
appear either, depending on what terminal
emulation protocol is active at the time.
<Alt-N>
Conversation (chat)
The conversation mode function splits the screen
in half, creating two windows or sections on the
screen. Data received from the remote system will
be displayed in the top section, while the
characters you type will be displayed in the
bottom section.
<Alt-D>
Dial Allows you to dial a system in the nodelist. This
function is disabled if no nodelist files are
detected when the Terminal/FD is started. Note
that you cannot queue numbers in the nodelist.
<Alt-M>
Manual dial
Allows you to enter a number manually, which will
then be dialed until you press the <Esc> key or a
connection has been made. Note that you cannot
queue manually entered numbers.
<Alt-X>
Disconnect Disconnects the current call and displays the
elapsed time.
<Alt-P>
Phone directory
Brings up the phone directory manager.
<Alt-R>
Reset timer
Resets the on-line timer. The timer is
automatically reset when a new connection is
made.
<Alt-B>
Scroll back buffer
Allows you to view data that has scrolled off the
screen.
<Alt-W>
Send BREAK Sends a (short) BREAK signal to the modem.
Consult the documentation for your modem
regarding BREAK signals. This is often used to
terminate inquiries to commercial on-line
systems, etc. but can be treated differently by
your modem.
<Alt-J>
Clear screen
Clears the screen and moves the cursor to the
upper left-hand corner.
<Alt-Y>
Initialize modem
Transmits the Init-1..Init-3 modem strings as
configured in FDSETUP under Modem > Command
strings, followed by the Init string defined
under Terminal > Miscellaneous, to attempt to
initialize the modem.
This is not available in the noncommercial
version.
