        <Alt-U>
        Command history
                        The Terminal records your last ten typed
                        lines. When you press Enter, it removes the
                        oldest entry and adds the newly typed line to
                        the list. You can choose any one of the ten
                        history entries and retransmit it to the
                        remote.

                        will be asked for optional command line
                        parameters, they are stored for the remains
                        of your Terminal session. This could also be
                        used to bring up external protocol menus,
                        etc.

                        Note that the FOSSIL driver is deactivated
                        when leaving the Terminal and reactivated
                        upon returning to the Terminal. This is to
                        make sure FrontDoor maintain control of the
                        FOSSIL driver even when loading other
                        programs that could possibly leave the FOSSIL
                        driver in a non-desirable state.

        <Alt-Z>
        DOS shell       Invokes a temporary DOS shell. Type EXIT and
                        press <Enter> to return to the Terminal.

                        this will return you to FD's main menu or to
                        DOS. If you are connected to a remote system
                        when you press <Alt-Q>, you will be asked to
                        confirm that you want to hang up.
