EMT/COMMANDS -- Commands available once EMT has been invoked. 84/04/20
EMT commands are read from standard input or an EMT command file.
The commands are:
AE Abort on error: if an error is encountered in remote
mode, return to local mode.
ASConly | NOTASConly Receive only valid ascii codes. Others are sifted out.
BREAK n Set BREAK duration value to n milliseconds. If set to
zero, the break key (F8) does nothing. Default is 200.
CLose Close the file (if open) and de-activate the RCV
filename (i.e. forget its name).
CODE [xx|NONE] Define Host Command Code to be Hex value xx. The host
may issue any emt command by preceding the command
string with the character 'xx'. The default is NONE.
COOKed Put the Apollo terminal in cooked mode.
EMTESC [chr|NONE] Set the EMT escape character to chr. Use NONE to
disable the escape character. Default is ~ for
cooked mode, NONE for raw mode.
{The following 3 commands are useful when running an EMT command file.}
F1 Enter remote mode (Simulate Function key F1).
F2 Terminate file transfer (Simulate Function key F2).
F3 Toggle TEE mode (Simulate Function key F3).
Hangup Drop dtr on the sio line; causes most modems to hangup.
Help [tctl] Display this help information or info about TCTL.
INTERM {CR|LF|CRLF|VAX|'hex_byte'}
Set the input line-termination sequence that the host
will send. Default is CRLF. 'hex-byte' can be any
one-byte hexadecimal value. Formerly TERM.
OUTTERM [CR|LF|CRLF|'hex_byte']
Set the output line-termination sequence to be
transmitted to the host. Default is CR.
LINE [1|2|3|pname] Select the SIO line. Default is line 1 (/DEV/SIO1).
List Display the current SIO line, all EMT switch settings
and the receive filename, if any.
MONIT [monit_file] Write every character received over the SIO line to
'monit_file'. If a filename is not specified, the
previous specification or errout is used.
NOMONIT Stop monitoring.
Quit Exit from EMT.
RAW [-ECHO|-NOECHO] [-LF|-NOLF]
Put the Apollo terminal in raw mode. -ECHO means echo
keystrokes to standard output. -LF means convert CR
to LF for echo'd lines. Default is -NOECHO -NOLF.
RCV [-R] [-KEYS|-NOKEYS] [pathname]
Receive transmissions into the file named by pathname.
Receive begins when remote mode is entered (F1). If no
pathname is specified, use previous name, if any.
-R means replace existing file.
-KEYS means write keystrokes to file along with
received data. Default is -NOKEYS.
RUN [cmd_file] Read EMT commands from the named file. Command files
may be nested to a level of four and may contain any
EMT command or comment lines starting with #.
TCTL [tctl commands] Pass this command line to TCTL to configure the SIO
line. It is not necessary to specify the line number
(-LINE), although you may if you wish to operate on a
different line than the one you are using.
XMIT pathname Transmit the file named by pathname to the host.
Tranmission begins when remote mode is entered (F1).
FUNCTION KEYS
In addition to the commands listed above, EMT redefines the following
function keys:
F1 = Switch between Local and Remote modes.
F2 = Terminate file transfer (XMIT or RCV) and close the file.
F3 = Toggle TEE mode.
F8 = Send a BREAK to the host. Valid only in remote mode.
^F7 = Display a picture of the function key definitions.
These function keys may be simulated by typing the EMTESC character followed
by the function key number (e.g. ~1 for F1). When EMT is used from the
VT100 emulator, F1-shifted is used instead of F2, and F1-control is used
instead of F3.
