Tutorial
To cut down on your connect time and save on your account bill,
you can immediately disconnect from the service, press
0
to return to the original Telecom screen, and then Save the data
as a file.
An
alternative way
of
saving information is to press
0
while
in Terminal mode to Receive a file, then specify a filename. Then
select the information you want to save and press
(F31
to close
the file. If you do not specify an extension in the filename, .DOC
is automatically appended to the filename
so
that you can read
the article later using the Text application.
You can also print incoming information by using the Printer
function. Press
El,
then select the desired information, and
press
0
again to stop the printer.
Just as in Host, with which you will experiment later, you can
send and receive files between
2
computers, except that in
Telecom both computer users can play an active role and com-
municate with each other via their computer screens. (In Host,
a DeskMate user can go elsewhere, leaving the computer in Host
mode
to
allow another user access to the DeskMate system and
files.)
If you have
2
computers both with telephone hook-ups via a
modem or some other device, try calling each other and then
mutually sending and receiving information.
If
you have an auto
dialing modem, use the Call function to call the other computer,
then use Send and Receive to transmit information back and
forth.
