Parameters without commands can be modified with a program by storing new values in the list contained in ALRMDAT (use the PUT command).

βENTER

This is the vectored ENTER post-processor. If flags –62 and –63 are set and ENTER is pressed, the command that triggered the command-line processing is put on the stack as a string and ßENTER is evaluated.

CST

CST contains a list (or a name specifying a list) of the objects that define the CST (custom) menu. Objects in the custom menu behave as do objects in built-in menus. For example:

Names behave like the VAR menu keys. Thus, if ABC is a variable name, %ABC% evaluates ABC, …%ABC% recalls its contents, and „%ABC% stores new contents in ABC.

The menu label for the name of a directory has a bar over the left side of the label; pressing the menu key switches to that directory.

Unit objects act like unit catalog entries (and have left-shifted conversion capabilities, for example).

String keys echo the string.

You can include backup objects in the list defining a custom menu by tagging the name of the backup object with its port location.
