Local Edit Mode
If your application software program supports local editing,
the wireless station can be programmed to operate in local
edit mode. Local edit mode is a feature of the VT330/VT340
terminal. Use the mode to send characters to page memory
instead of to the host. The wireless station sends a block of
edited text to the host after you press a terminating key.
Wireless station terminating keys in local edit mode are:
[ENTER]
[F1] through [F20]
Edit Mode and Interactive Mode
The edit mode control function (DECEDM) selects edit
mode or interactive mode. The function determines when
the wireless station sends data to the host. Table 8-41
describes the modes.
