- Telephone Dialer
- ----------------
- Phone numbers are kept in the file "Star.Dir" in the current directory.
- These numbers, and a dialing prefix ("ATDT" for Hayes, for instance), are
- entered from the "Phone/Dial" menu selection. Enter the service name in
- the left column, and the number on the right. The dialing prefix goes in
- the box to the right of the "SAVE" gadget.
- Click any of the "Dial" gadgets to dial, "Cancel" to abort, or "SAVE" to
- save to the phone file.

-
- Function Keys
- -------------
- Function key definitions are reached via the "Terminal/Edit F-Keys" menu.
- Enter the string you want each F-key to send. If you want the F-key to send
- a CR (return), use a "}". You can enter control characters, and they will
- saved and sent correctly, but they will be displayed as "box" characters.
- Click "Cancel" to abort, or "SAVE" to save the function key definitions.
-

- Newline (EOL) Control
- ---------------------
- StarTerm can be set to send CR, LF, or CR/LF (Terminal/EOL Send); options
- for receive are Strip CR, Leave CR, and Strip CR Insert LF (Terminal/EOL
- Receive). These settings are used on both ASCII and XMODEM protocol (text)
- file transfer.
-
-
- Saving by Service
- -----------------
- You can save the configuration and function keys by service defined in the
- dialer requester box. Click the "Dial" gadget for the desired service, then
- save the function key definitions as above. Configuration data will be
- saved in "<service>.Defs"; function keys will be save in "<service>.Keys".
- These files will then be read the next time you dial that service. If you
- haven't dialed a service, the files will be saved as "Defaults.Defs" and
- "Defaults.Keys".
