Page 83 highlights

Setup Menus CR/LF. Inserting a NULL after the CR character cures the problem. Display Form Feeds Factory default: Selected When selected, this will cause form feeds to be represented on the display as FF characters. Ignore Form Feeds Factory default: Unselected When the emulator receives a form feed command from the host it normally results in a line feed on the display in HP 700-92/96 mode. Selecting this option will cause the emulator to ignore all form feed commands received from the host. Return Def Factory default: ^M (i.e. CR) This enables you to define the function of the Return key. 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 default 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. Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal value of CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references. Start Column Factory default: 1 This text box is used to specify 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 HP 70092/96 Emulation chapter for details. 6-23

Setup Menus
CR/LF
. Inserting a
NULL
after the
CR
character cures the problem.
Display Form Feeds
Factory default: Selected
When selected, this will cause form feeds to be represented on the display as
F
F
characters.
Ignore Form Feeds
Factory default: Unselected
When the emulator receives a form feed command from the host it normally results in
a line feed on the display in HP 700-92/96 mode. Selecting this option will cause the
emulator to ignore all form feed commands received from the host.
Return Def
Factory default: ^M
(i.e. CR)
This enables you to define the function of the
Return
key. 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 default 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.
Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an
underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For
example, the decimal value of
CR
is 13, so this would be entered as
_013
. Refer to the
ASCII character table in the
Character Sets
appendix for code and decimal references.
Start Column
Factory default: 1
This text box is used to specify 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 HP 700-
92/96 Emulation chapter for details.
