select any files, it will cause C-Term to upload an empty file.
20.5 CAPTURE BUFFER
A terminal buffer allows you to capture data to a place in memory for later
saving and retrieval. C-Term is able to support approximately 20K of
storage (or roughly 20,480 bytes). Enter ‘CB’ from the Main Menu to pull
up C-Term’s buffer menu. The options include:
Toggle open/close: Just as you may open and close the buffer while
in C-Term with the ALT/C command, you may also close
and open the buffer from the buffer menu. To open
the buffer means to allow the computer to ‘remember’
what the modem is sending it.
Clear buffer: Erase the contents of the buffer. WARNING!! Once the
buffer is cleared, it is NOT recoverable.
Save buffer to disk: The captured text may be saved to disk as a
program (prg) or sequential (seq) file format.
Load buffer from disk:This will allow you to load a file from disk
into the capture buffer. It is useful to load a file
into memory, such as a long message, and ‘printing’
it to the modem after loading.
Print buffer: When the capture buffer is displayed, the option is
given to send the file simultaneously to the modem.
This is useful to send a message received from
another system. While the capture buffer is being
displayed, output may be paused (using the CLR/HOME
key or Control/S keys), or aborted (using the
spacebar or the ‘/’ key).
Edit Buffer: This command loads a text file into the editor buffer
so that it may be edited. A couple of restrictions
apply; the editor holds a maximum of 250 lines --
anything past that if ‘saved’ using the editor ‘.s’
command will be lost. Also each line is limited to
78 characters -- anything past that will be cut off,
or forced onto another line. C-Term uses the same
editor system as C-NET does, so therefore, the ‘dot’
commands work here.
20.6 PHONEBOOK/AUTODIALER
C-Term is able to house up to 39 of your most frequently called numbers,
each with a name, number, baud rate, wait time to connect, last call date,
and what form of translation to use (CG, CG+, ASCII/ANSI). To enter the
autodialer, enter ‘AD’ at the main menu. A short menu of options will
appear, to either Add, Remove, Save, Dial or Quit back to the main menu.
To add a BBS to the phonebook, enter the ‘A’ command from the second menu.
You will be asked for:
• A name for the BBS to remember by.
• The maximum baud rate of the BBS (remember, do NOT exceed the maximum
baud rate YOU support), up to 2400 baud.
• The translation you would like to use, C/G, CG+, ASCII/ANSI mode.
• A pre-defined amount of time to wait for the BBS to get you connected to
the BBS (generally 20 seconds seems average for a local system, while
long distance BBS’s usually average 45 seconds for a connection).
