MINITERM 128(c) docs The programme MINITERM 128(c) is provided for all you people who write terminal prgs in basic. It runs at 300, 1200, or 2400 bps. The open statment is done in basic to allow you to set your own baud rate. The prg also makes a nice Function key terminal prg because it resides from $1300 to $1700. this meens that you can bload it at the start of a session and put the OPEN and SYS statments on an FKEY for example: KEY1,"OPEN5,2,2,CHR$(6)+CHR$(0):FAST:SYS4864:SLOW:CLOSE Then by pressing F1 you would open the channel to the modem, turn on fast mode,enter the terminal prg. Pressing the 'commodore + m' keys returns you to basic and turns slow on and closes the channel on the modem. if you are in 40 col mode delete the fast and slow commands. The prg works well in 40 or 80 col modes however the title screen is not centered in 40 col mode. In order to allow a certain amount of flexibilty in using this prg in your own basic prgs MINITERM 128(c) has two ways to returm to your basic prg. If you press 'commodore m' the prg simply returns to the next basic command in the basic prg. If you exit by pressing 'commodore +english pound sign' MINITERM 128(c) first places a $ff in to location $0088. this will allow you to branch to a different part of your prg. your basic code would look something like this: 10 OPEN5,2,2,CHR$(6)+CHR$(0):REM OPEN STATMENT FOR 300 BPS 20 SYS4864 :REM ENTER MINITERM 128(c) 30 IF PEEK DEC("88")THEN 100 :REM IF EXIT WITH 'C=ENGLISH POUND' THEN GO TO DIFFERENT ROUTINE 40 REM CONTINUE WITH NORMAL PRG FLOW 100 REM OPTIONAL PRG BRANCH MINITERM 128(c) will operate in either STANDARD or CBM ASCII modes. The default is STANDARD ASCII. to turn on the CBM ASCII press 'commodore c'. to return to STANDARD ASCII press 'commodore a'. Any time you change modes the prg will print the current mode on the screen. MINITERM 128(c) starts at $1300 and is currently 295 bytes long. ASCII translation tables start at $1500 and end at $16ff. When you open the channel to the modem make sure that you use a #5 as the channel nubmer. MINITERM 128(c) will transmit any characters that are in the fkeys so your basic prg can define the fkeys any way you want them to be for transmission from terminal mode. Due to my lack of understanding of the editor in the 128 I was unable to defeat the CTRL S trap . The best way to send a CTRL S in this version is to press the home key. All other CTRL keys seem to work fine Watch for future expansion to MINITERM 128(c). Commining next is 61k buffer for uploading and download of text.
