- o LOAD and SAVE commands allow keystring definitions and phone
- number libraries to be saved to and loaded from disk files

- disk file created with an editor (similar in concept to CP/M's
- SUBMIT, with enhancements)
- o Greatly enhanced terminal mode
- o SENDOUT command to send strings to the modem (usually under con-
- trol of a READ file).

- number to be repetitvely re-dialed any number of times.
- o STAT command allows the inspection and modification of a large
- number of system variables
