III. USER CONTROLS
PLATOTERM's controls are very simple to use. There are three main
keys which alter the operation of the program:
KEYS
FUNCTION
SELECT
T
Selects TTY mode. All incoming data is simply dis-
played as ASCII text, with no parsing of incoming
information, All keys are also sent as ASCII keys.
The program, by default starts in this mode. This
can be used if you are in PLATO mode, and need
to send a command to your MODEM.
SELECT
P
Selects PLATO mode. All incoming data is inter-
preted as PLATO data. This can be used if you
are already connected to the PLATO service when
PLATOTERM starts.
SELECT
X
Exits PLATOTERM. If the computer was booted
from the disk drive, it will return to DOS. Other-
wise, the computer will default to either the MEMO
PAD mode for the ATARI® 400™ and ATARI®
800™ systems, to the ATARI® logo display for the
ATARI® 1200XL™ system, or to the SELF TEST for
all other compatible computers.
PLATOTERM maps the keys from the PLATO system into appropriate
keys on the ATARI® console keyboard, as shown in the following
diagram:
