This
command
selects
the
ASCII
code
(parameter
n)
for
the
character that will force input to be packetized and queued for
transmission in Converse Mode. You can enter the code in either
hex or decimal.
For conversation, set SEndpac = $0D and CR ON. This causes
ackets to be sent at natural intervals, and causes the <CR> to
e included in the packet. If CPactime is ON, set SEndpac to
some value not ordinarily used (say, <CTRL-A>), and set CR
OFF. This allows forcing packets to be sent, but will not result in
extra <CR> characters being transmitted in the text.
