4.1 Operation
This support program is DOS-based and can be
run in MS-Windows © MS-DOS mode.
DO NOT have more than one copy of this pro-
gram loaded at any given time in separate win-
dows. Doing so creates COM port sharing con-
flicts and failure to run the program alone re-
sults in unexpected transmissions.
It has the general look and feel of an MS-
Windows program. Mouse operation is the con-
ventional click, double-click plus click and drag
method. Only left mouse button operation is
supported.
Any command or selection shown in gray is ei-
ther unavailable or is awaiting another action
before activating.
Help in the program is available at all points by
pressing the F1 key. If a subject is highlighted,
the help displayed will be context sensitive.
