through the terminal. When the user changes the escape sequence, a window
with the hexadecimal representation of the old escape sequence will appear.
Pressing
<ESC>
to exit from the edit prompt will not work; it will add additional
<ESC>
characters (hexadecimal value
1B
) to the direct mode escape sequence.
If the user wishes to keep the old sequence, they need only to press
<ENTER>
.
Otherwise, they should press backspace to delete the old characters, then enter
the new sequence and press
<ENTER>
. If for some reason the selection is
unacceptable, an error message will appear and the sequence will revert to the
old character values.
Appendix F lists the hexadecimal codes for the ASCII character set.

Each device port saves the output of a server to a FIFO buffer. Each buffer can
store up to 64K of data, giving approximately 100 text pages. However, the
actual amount of pages may vary according to the data. The user must be in
monitor mode to view or clear the data stored in the buffer. Any users listening to
another user's connection to a device port will see the buffer displayed as well.
