Control-Q
When you press
CTRL
/
S
(described above) to freeze the screen display, you
must press
CTRL
/
Q
to resume the screen display. If you have typed anything
while the Control-S was in effect, a Control-Q tells AMOS it can now go ahead
and act upon that input.
Try this: Press
CTRL
/
S
, then type
DIR
RETURN
, and then
RETURN
. The
commands aren't displayed on the screen and it appears that nothing happened.
Now press
CTRL
/
Q
to release the display, and you see first a list of the files in
your account printed on the screen, then a display of the files waiting to print.
Control-R
The command buffer is an area of memory where the computer stores commands
that have been entered. Pressing
CTRL
/
R
shows you what commands are in
your command buffer.
If the line editor is installed on your computer, you can use
CTRL
/
R
to call up
previous command lines, make changes to them, and then submit them again.
This is a great convenience if you want to enter a series of similar commands;
you can just keep making minor changes to one command, and reusing it.
