4. Press the ALT+F key combination again to ENTER the name. Pacterm will
respond by (1) putting another small square marker on the screen right after
the file name, (2) locating the file, and (3) sending a copy of it to the TNC.
Caution: If you give a file name that Pacterm cannot find, that is illegal, or
that is bounded by any blanks, Pacterm will not respond to the second ALT+F
command, so nothing will happen. Try again, starting with Step 2.
5. If your TNC is in Conversation Mode (but not if it is in Transparent Mode)
and it is set to ECHO, data will be echoed to the Terminal Screen.
Caution: Sending continues until Pacterm finds an end-of-file code. If the
file does not have an EOF code (CTRL+Z), some or all of the file will be sent
and resent until you EXIT to DOS to end the current session. To send such a
file successfully, add an EOF code (e.g., by using an appropriate word pro-
cessor).
Commands: Exiting
The following exit commands are available in Pacterm:
F9 = Switch Your TNC to Command Mode
From either the MAIN Menu Screen or the Terminal Screen, press the F9 key to
switch your TNC from Conversation Mode or Transparent Mode communication
to Command Mode (for the NEWUSER or TERMINAL Interface Mode, which
-
ever your TNC is in at the time). Once in Command Mode, the TNC will inter
-
pret data from Pacterm as being commands to carry out, not as data to transmit.
Technical note: Pacterm forces this switch by sending the TNC a specially timed
sequence of three CTRL+Cs (see TNC documentation for details).
When you use F9 to exit from Conversation or Transparent Mode to the Com
-
mand Mode, the “cmd:” prompt will be appear in the viewing area of the Termi
-
nal Screen. If you are already in Command Mode, using F9 has no effect.
