Saving Data to Disk
Alt-B buffer control
The Alt-B command toggles the buffer on and off. When the buffer is on, data that appears in the
receive section (top) of the screen will be saved in your computer's memory. BUFF appears in the
status bar when the buffer is on. Using F9 will also turn the buffer off.
The size of the buffer depends on the amount of memory in your computer.
Alt-C clear holding buffer
Pressing Alt-C will erase all information stored in the buffer.
F2 save holding buffer to file
Pressing F2 brings up 3 request to enter file name. After entering the file name, press return. The
file will be saved and Pacterm will return to Terminal Mode. Pacterm supports drive designators
when saving files, but does not support directories.
If the information is stored with a normal file name, carriage return/line feeds will be added as
needed. To save data exactly as received use a .bin suffix following the file name (binary file).
Sending a File from Disk
Alt-F file transmit
Pressing Alt-F will display a · ($FA) on the screen. Then type the file name followed by another Alt-
F. The file name must be exact. Do not add spaces between the Alt-Fs and the file name. Pacterm
supports drive designators as part of the file name, but does not support directories.
Printer
The Alt-P command toggles the printer on and off. When the printer is on, data that appears in the
receive section (top) of the screen will also be sent to your printer. PRINT appears in the status
bar when the printer is on. Using F9 will also turn the printer off.
