Setup Menus Return Definition Factory default: ^M (i.e. CR) This option enables the function of the Return key to be defined. Up to two characters may be used to define the key. If a second character is a space, it will be ignored. To change the current definition, delete the definition displayed in the text box and type in the new one, either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For example, the code for the Return key function, CR (carriage return), can be entered by typing the characters ^ and M, representing the keys Ctrl + M which, when pressed together would generate the CR code. The decimal value of this code would be entered as 13. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix in the Programmer's Guide for code and decimal references. Start Column Factory default: 1 This option specifies the start column for transmitted data when no logical start-of-text pointer is present and the Return or Enter keys are pressed in Modify Line or Modify All mode. Usually a start-of-text pointer is automatically generated to designate the leftmost character in the current line if it is the last line of data in display memory. This pointer will remain in display memory until the line is deleted. If the line has no start-of-text pointer, data transmission will begin at the start column specified by this option. The column range is from 1 to 80 inclusive. Note: The setting of this option may be temporarily redefined using one of the Margin/Tab/Col function keys. See the HP700/92 Emulation chapter for details. Host Prompt Character Factory default: ^Q (i.e. DC1) Some hosts send a prompt character to the terminal to indicate that they are ready to receive the next line or block of data. This option enables you to specify the prompt character for your particular host. Most hosts either use the DC1 (^Q) character (e.g. HP 3000) or no prompt (^@) character. When Typeahead Enabled is selected, TeemTalk will wait for the specified prompt character from the host before transmitting the next line from the keyboard buffer. 8-49
