‘M’ – 4Dh – Mask User Input (Line Edit mode only)
If the MiniTerm is operating in Line Edit mode it will still respond to prompts and
other commands from the host. The PIN-masking feature (user input appears as
* star characters on the LCD) is enabled/dispabled using this command. The
least significant bit of the parameter byte sets the mask state (0 = off, 1 = on), so
any odd value turns PIN-masking on, while any even value turns it off.
Example: Turn PIN-masking on.
