the formats. Instead you can enter the character’s numeric equivalent (as defined by the American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII), preceded by a slash (“/”). For example, since the ASCII code for carriage return is 13, you would enter ‘/13”. These characters will look strange on your screen, but ThinkTank will send them correctly
if you enter them correctly. There is an ASCII conversion table in Appendix D of this manual.
If you choose to review the format settings, you have four choices for each:
*Press the right arrow key to move to the next format setting, leaving the current setting as shown.
*Press the left arrow key to move to the previous for— mat setting, leaving the current setting as shown.
*Press RETURN to indicate that you want to change the current format setting. ThinkTank will display another menu or prompt to find out what the new set- ting should be.
*Press ESC to cancel or conclude the process of changing format settings and move to the next step in the PORT process.
If you change the format settings, ThinkTank displays the EXIT SETTINGS Command Menu where you can choose to replace the standard (default) format settings with your new ones. The options are:
*SAVE: Saves your new format settings on your THINK— TANK PROGRAM DISK as the standard formats. (Command key 5)
*NOSAVE: Does not save your new formats; they will affect the current port only. The standard formats will remain unchanged. (Command key N)
