CTTY device

Changes
the
input/output
(I/O) device to
the

the
screen.
Parameters
device

can
be
either
of
the
following:

auxiliary

serial port.

Port
1 or Port

and

Any other character-oriented device capable of both

Notes
and
Suggestions
• Because
the
printer
is not capable of input,
PRN
is not a valid
CTTY device.
• CTTY affects only programs
that
are
MS-DOS function calls.
Other programs, such as BASIC, ignore
the
CTTY command.
