Setup Menus

The T (Type) box entry determines what happens to the programmed contents of an FKC key when pressed. This can have the value 0, 1 or 2. When set to 0, the contents of the Message box will be sent to the host. When set to 1, the contents of the Message box together with text that can be transmitted from the screen will be sent to the host. When set to 2, the contents of the Message box will not be sent to the host but will will appear on the screen to the right of the cursor position.

The FC box has no function.

The Message box entry can consist of any alphanumeric characters. Control characters can also be entered either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For example, the ASCII character ESC can be entered by typing the characters ^[, where ^ represents the Ctrl key.

Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal value of ESC is 27, so this would be entered as _027. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references.
