OPEN
"COM:
...
"
Opens the interface port selected in System Mode.
OPEN
"COM1:
...

Opens the optical interface port for data transmission
routing through the CU-5000, irrespective of the setting
in System Mode.
OPEN
"COM2:
...
"
Opens the direct-connect interface port for direct data
transmission, irrespective of the setting in System Mode.
Note that it is impossible to open both the optical interface port and the direct-connect

statement, the
XFILE
statement transmits a designated file.
