Display Form Feeds

Factory default: Selected

When selected, this will cause form feeds to be represented on the display as FF characters.

Ignore Form Feeds

Factory default: Unselected

When the emulator receives a form feed command from the host it normally results in a line feed on the display in HP 700-92/96 mode. Selecting this option will cause the emulator to ignore all form feed commands received from the host.

Return Def

Factory default: ^M (i.e. CR)

This enables you to define the function of the Return key. Up to two characters may be used to define the key. If a second character is a space, it will be ignored.

To change the current definition, delete the definition displayed in the text box and type in the new one, either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character.

For example, the default code for the Return key function, CR (carriage return), can be entered by typing the characters ^ and M, representing the keys Ctrl + M which, when pressed together would generate the CR code.

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 CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references.

Start Column

Factory default: 1

This text box is used to specify the start column for transmitted data when no logical start-of-text pointer is present and the Return or Enter keys are pressed in Modify Line or Modify All mode.

Usually a start-of-text pointer is automatically generated to designate the leftmost character in the current line if it is the last line of data in display memory. This pointer will remain in display memory until the line is deleted. If the line has no start-of-text pointer, data transmission will begin at the start column specified by this option. The column range is from 1 to 80 inclusive.

Note: The setting of this option may be temporarily redefined using one of the Margin/Tab/Col function keys. See the HP 700- 92/96 Emulation chapter for details.
