Eagle 250 Owner's Manual, Revision 01
If the AMOS line editor is enabled, you can recall a previous line to the screen by typing
CTRL
/ R. (To
see if this feature is available, you can ask your dealer, or just try it. If it doesn’t work, no harm will be
done.) In the sample above, press
CTRL
/ R at the AMOS prompt to recall the line
PRIMT
. Use the
key
to move back to the
M
without erasing characters, then type an
N
to overwrite the
M
. Press the
ENTER
key
to enter the command again.
Your keyboard probably has many features we haven't covered. For complete information, refer to the
owner's manual that accompanied your terminal or workstation.
USER NAMES
To use your Eagle 250, you must tell it who you are. You do this by entering your user name and, if you
have one, your password. All Eagle 250’s have standard user names when they leave the factory; your
dealer probably set up more names for you to use. The following sections describe how to log on to the
computer using your user name and how to add more user names if you need to.
Logging On
People using the Eagle 250 from their PC or workstation over a network may have to click an
icon or use a command to connect to the computer. Depending on how your Eagle 250 and
network are set up, they may then have to enter information about the type of connection they
want before logging on as described here, or they may be connected, logged on, and even have
your application start, automatically.
The LOG command identifies you to the computer and lets you choose what disk account you want to
access (accounts are described later in this chapter) When you first log on to the computer—either after
logging off or after booting the system—you must tell the computer who you are and what account you
want to use. You can do this by entering the disk account you want. For example:
LOG [25,1]
ENTER
AMOS now asks for your user name. Type it and press
ENTER
.
You can enter your user name instead of an account number in the LOG command. This logs you into the
root account defined when your user name was set up. For example:
LOG CARRIE SMITH
ENTER
This logs Carrie Smith into her root account. Your root account is normally the account you use most
often.
You can assign passwords to disk accounts and user names. If the account or user name you enter
has a password, AMOS asks you for the password before logging you in.
For more details about the LOG command, see the AMOS System Commands Reference Manual. For
information about user names, see the AMOS System Operator's Guide.
