The Model 100 can also operate on ordinary household current (120VAC) by attaching an AC adapter (Catalog Number 26-3804). Turning the Model 100 On To power-up the Model 100, simply set the Power Switch (located on the right side of the Computer) to ON. On initial Power-Up, the Main Menu appears on the Display. Setting the Date and Time The current day, time, and date are listed on the top of the Menu. To change these, enter the BASIC Interpreter Program, and type (for example): DAY$= "Mon" ENTER DATE$ = ''03/18/83 '' ENTER TIME$= "13:45:25" ENTER Selecting Menu Options To access a program or file in the Model 100's memory (from the Menu level), use the arrow keys to position the Cursor on top of the appropriate file. If the file is a data file, the Model 100 enters the Text Editor. If the file is a BASIC program, the Model 100 enters BASIC and runs the program. If the file is a machine-language program (such as the BASIC Intsrpreter, BASIC, or the Text Editor, TEXT) the Model 100 runs the program. Turning the Model 100 Off To turn off the Model 100, simply set the Power Switch to OFF. RAM files currently in RAM are preserved for your access when you turn the Model 100 back on. (To insure that yourfiles are preserved, turn the power off only from the Menu display or, if in an Application Program or file, only when the cursor is blinking.) The Model 100 features a convenient Auto-Power Off function. The Computer will turn itself off automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity (no keyboard input or program running). To turn the Computer back on, move the ON/OFF switch to OFF, then back to ON. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Text Editor (TEXT) Quick Reference Entering the Text Editor program To use the Text Editor, you may either position the Menu Cursor on top of the word TEXT or on top of a text file itself (text files use the extension DO). Then Press ENTER Text Editor Commands Within the Text Editor, the following keys or key combinations perform certain functions: Cursor Control Keys -> Moves the Cursor one position to the right. <- Moves the Cursor one position to the left. [[arrowup]] Moves the Cursor one position up. [[arrowdown]] Moves the Cursor one position down. "-> Moves the Cursor to the right end of the line. "<- Moves the Cursor to the left end of the line. "[[arrowup]] Moves the Cursor to the top of the file. "[[arrowdown]] Moves the Cursor to the bottom of the file. [[lozenge]]-> Moves the Cursor to the beginning of the word to immediate right. [[lozenge]]<- Moves the Cursor to the beginning of the word to immediate left. [[lozenge]][[arrowup]] Moves the Cursor to the top of the screen above the current position. [[lozenge]][[arrowdown]] Moves the Cursor to the bottom of the screen beiow the current position. Text Manipulation Keys DEL Delete the character at the current Cursor position. BKSP Delete the character to the left of the current Cursor position. F1 Searches the file for the occurrence of a particular character string. Text prompts you for the match string. F2 Reads an ASCll data file into RAM. Text Load prompts you for the filename. F3 Writes a data file. Text prompts you for the filename. Save F5 Duplicates the selected text into the paste buffer. Copy F6 Moves the selected text from the Screen into the Cut Paste buffer. F7 Starts definitions Of text for duplication or deletion. Select F8 Exit the Text Editor and return to the Menu. Menu PASTE inserts the contents of the paste buffer, starting at the current cursor location. LABEL Prints the definitions of the function keys on the bottom line of the display. PRINT Prints the contents of the Screen onto the printer. [[lozenge]]PRINT Prints the contents of the file onto the printer. Text prompts you for the width of the printer. TAB Inserts an eight-character wide tab. "A Moves the Cursor to the beginning of the word to the left from current position. "B Moves the Cursor directly to the bottom of the Screen from its current position. "C Cancels the Select, Save, Load, Find, and Print functions. "D Moves the Cursor one character to the rig ht. "E Moves the Cursor up one line from its current place. "F Moves the Cursor to the beginning of the next word. "G Saves a data file to cassette tape. "H Deletes previous character. "I Inserts an eight-character wide tab. "L Enter Select Text mode. "M Inserts a carriage return and line feed. "N Find a Text String. "O Copy a Text String. "P Saves next keystroke as a non-printing control character (to store printer commands, etc.) "Q Moves the Cursor to the left end of the current line. "R Moves the Cursor to the right end of the current line. "S Moves the Cursor one character to the left. "T Moves the Cursor to the top of the Screen directly above its current position. "U Moves Selected string from Screen to paste buffer. "V Loads a data file from cassette tape. "W Moves the Cursor to the beginning of the file. "X Moves the Cursor down one line. "Y Prints the entire file. "Z Moves the Cursor to the end of the file. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scheduler (SCHEDL) Quick Reference Using the Scheduler Program The Scheduler Program uses a data file called NOTE.DO. To insert data into the NOTE.DO file, position the Menu Cursor on top of the filename NOTE.DO (if NOTE.DO already exists) or else position the Menu Cursor on top of TEXT and press *. In either case, you'll have full use of the Text Editor. To search for an item once you have created NOTE.DO, position the Menu Cursor on top of the word SCHEDL and press ENTER. Special Commands and Keys Within the Scheduler Program F1 Find string Finds string in the NOTE.DO file. If string occurs more than once in the file, the SCHEDL displays a screenful and prompts you for "More" or "Quit." Pressing M or F3 retrieves the next screenful, pressing Q or F4 ends the Find process. F5 Lfnd string Works exactly as Find (Q) with the exception that instead of displaying the results on the Screen, SCHEDL sends the data to the printer. F8 Menu Exits the SCHEDL Program and returns to the Menu. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Address Organizer (ADDRSS) Quick Reference Using the Address Program The Address Program uses a data file called ADRS.DO to store address data. To insert addresses into the ADRS.DO file, position the Menu Cursor on top of the filename ADRS.DO (if it already exists) or else position the Menu Cursor on top of TEXT and press ENTER In either case, you'll have full use of the Text Editor. To search for an item once you have created ADRS.DO, position the Menu Cursor on top of the word ADDRSS and press ENTER . Special Commands and Keys in the ADDRSS Program F1 Find string Finds the string in the ADRS.DO file. If string occurs more than once in the file, ADDRSS displays a screenful and prompts you for "More" or "Quit." Pressing M or F3 retrieves the next screenful, pressing Q or F4 ends the Find Process. F5 Lfnd string Works exactly as Find with the exception that instead of displaying the results on the Screen, ADDRSS sends the data to the printer. F8 Menu Exits ADDRSS and returns to the Menu. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Telecommunications (TELCOM) Quick Reference Using the Telecommunications Program To start the Telecommunications Program, position the Menu Cursor over the word TELCOM and press ENTER. Special Commands and Keys in TELCOM When the Program displays the message TELCOM :, you may issue any of the following commands: * Find string (F1) * Finds a string from ADRS.DO. Within this mode: * CALL (F2) * calls up the currently found number CALL (F3) * finds the next matching string QUIT (F4) * cancels the search. Call number (F2) Calls the phone number. If a number was just found with Q, then TELCOM calls that number. Stat config (F3) Change communications configuration to the given,config. If no configuration is given, then TELCOM displays,the current configuration. Term (F4) Puts TELCOM into the Terminal Mode. Within Terminal Mode: F1 Displays the previous page received. F2 Transfer incoming data into a RAM file. F3 Transmit a file to the host system. F4 Toggles between full and half duplex. F5 Echoes incoming data to the printer. F8 Exits Terminal Mode and returns to TELCOM. Menu (F8) Exits TELCOM and returns to the Menu. Communications Configuration For RS-232C communications, the configuration description consists of a five character string of the format rwpbs, where: r Baud Rate. This is a number from 1 to 9, where 1 = 75; 2 = 110 ; 3 = 300 ; 4 = 600 ; 5 = 1200 ; 6 = 2400 ; 7 = 4800 ; 8 = 9600 ; 9 = 19200. M may be used. M sets built-in modem to 300 baud. w Word Length. This is a number from 6 to 8, where 6 = 6 bits; 7 = 7 bits; 8 = 8 bits. p Parity. Either E,O,N, or I where E = Even ; O = Odd ; N = None; I= Ignore. b Stop Bits. Either 1 or 2, where 1 = 1 stop bit; 2 = 2 stop bits. s XON/XOFF Status. Either E or D, where E = Enable; D = Disable. Modem communication configuration consists of a five character string of the pattern wpbs, as defined for RS-232C communications. (TELCOM automatically sets the baud rate to 300 baud.) Examples 88E1E 9600 baud, 8 bit words, even parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF enable. (Uses RS-232C port.) ' M7N2D 300 baud, 7 bit words, no parity check, 2 stop bits, XON/ XOFF disabled. (Uses built-in modem.) Auto Log-on Commands You may store auto log-on information, along with phone numbers, in the ADRS.DO File. When you call the host (using Auto-dial), any characters enclosed within < and > are sent to the host as the Log-on Sequence. You may include the following abbreviations within the Log-on Sequence: ?c Wait for c to be sent from the host (c is any character) = Pause for 2.0 seconds !c Insure that c is interpreted as a character, not a command (c is any character). ^c Sends control character equivalent to " c (c is any character from A-Z) Example: <=^C?U9857,756^M?PMICRO!?^M> Pauses for 2.0 seconds, sends a BREAK ( ^C) the computer then waits for the host to transmit a "U". The computer then transmits 9857,756, followed by a carriage return (^M). It again waits for the host to transmit a "P", and then transmits MICRO? followed by carriage return. (the !) insures that TELCOM doesn't interpret the question mark as a "wait" command.) Any phone number to be auto-dialed must be preceded by a colon. A second colon terminates the auto-sequence. CIS:555-1234: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The BASIC Interpreter (BASIC) Starting the BASIC Interpreter Program To use the BASIC Interpreter, you may either position the Menu Cursor on top of the word BASIC, or on top of a BASIC Program filename. Then press ENTER. Special Keys in the Command Mode of BASIC LABEL Prints the definitions of the function keys PRINT The equivalent of typing in "LCOPY" ENTER SHF-PRINT The equivalent of typing in "LLIST" ENTER F1 The equivalent of typing in Files Enter F2 The equivalent of typing in Load " F3 The equivalent of typing in Save " F4 The equivalent of typing in Run ENTER F5 The equivalent of typing in List ENTER F8 The equivalent of typing in Menu ENTER You may redefine any of the function keys within BASIC. See KEY under Keyboard Input for details. Special Keys in the Execute Mode of BASIC BREAK Stops execution of the current command. You can restart many commands where they left off by typing ENTER PAUSE Temporarily stops execution of the current command. To continue, simply press PAUSE again. This is particularly helpful when the Screen is changing rapidly, for example, on a LIST.

In addition, most RAM files have specific extensions which are suffixedto the filename. These extensions are: .BA BASIC Program File .DO ASCII Formatted File (a BASIC datafile, a Text Editor File, certain BASIC program files) .CO Command File (a machine-language file) Note: Most commands which allow you to specify a device (such as LCD,MDM, and so on) default to RAM . In addition, BASIC can often assume the extension of a file from the context of the command. RAM I/O Commands and Functions CLOSE file number list Closes the specified file numbers.
