IBM 6500

Hex Transparent Control
This option allows you to enable (the default) or disable additional features that
are not available in standard IBM emulations. To access these features, send lead-in
character text commands in the data stream. You can also use ASCII codes X'80'
through X'9F' as control codes if configured to do so.

The Lead-In Character commands must have a start and end code. Set 1 is the
factory default. Three sets (each containing a start and end code) are available:
v Set 1: start code = <% (default)
end
code = >
v Set 2: start code = ¬¬
end
code = $
v Set 3: start code = _%
end code = _

codes or printed as standard printable characters.
