- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Auto-line Wrap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Note: This parameter also is known as Automatic New Line.
-
- When enabled, this option specifies that the cursor should automatically move
- to the first character position in the next line when data is entered in the
- last position on the current line. If the current line is the last line on the
- screen and scrolling is enabled, the screen will scroll.
-
- If this option is disabled, the cursor will stick at the last position of the
- current line. Additional data entered or received will overwrite the display
- position until a cursor movement command, such as a carriage return, is
- processed.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Page Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This option sets the scrolling mode of the terminal. When Page Mode is
- enabled, scrolling is disabled and functions which normally cause scrolling
- will cause a wraparound to the top row.
-
- When Page Mode is disabled, scrolling is enabled and the cursor will continue
- to scroll down one line at a time, each time the cursor is sent past the column
- limit on the last line of the displayed screen area.

- characters.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. LF after CR ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If this option is enabled, Softerm automatically performs a linefeed function
- (cursor down one line) in addition to a carriage return function (cursor to
- first display position) whenever a carriage return character (0D hex) is
- received. If this option is disabled, no additional processing is performed
- for carriage return characters.

-
- The Operating Mode determines whether the emulation can display only the
- standard 128 ASCII character codes or the entire 256-character set.
-
- Note: The Communications Parameters must be set for 8 data bits and no parity
- for 8-bit mode to be fully operational.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Operating Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Select either 7-Bit or 8-Bit for the operating mode of the emulation.

-
- ESC nn c
-
- where nn = the numeric value that you entered.
-
