Simple Terminal Emulator
------------------------

TERM is a simple "no frills" terminal program. It is a DOS based program that 
also runs under Windows 95/98.

The command line syntax is:

	TERM [/port] baud_rate
	
	where /port	= COM port 1,2,3 or 4 (Optional - Defaults to COM1)
	      baud_rate	= 50,110,300,1200,2400,4800,9600,19200,38400,56000
	      

Eg:	TERM 9600	COM1 at 9600 baud (COM1 is default port)
	TERM/2 1200	COM2 at 1200 baud


Entering "TERM" or "TERM/?" displays a help message.

	
The data format is fixed at 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity pit. The 
screen size is 80 columns by 25 rows. The last line (row 25) displays status 
information:

	COMn:baud,8N1 - COM port used and baud rate setting
	Local echo ON (HDX) or OFF (FDX)
	Logging to a disk file - "LOG"


Pressing "F1" brings up a help screen:

	Clear Screen ....... Alt-C 
	DOS shell .......... Alt-D 
	Local echo on/off .. Alt-E 
	Log to disk file ... Alt-L 
	Send text file ..... Alt-S 
	Quit ............... Alt-Q


When logging to disk or sending a file, the user will be prompted to enter a 
file name. The filename can be up to 50 characters long.


When TERM first starts, it looks for a "TERM.INI" file in the current directory. 
This file, if present, contains the name of the last file sent (Alt-S). This 
saves a lot typing when sending the same file over and over again. This file 
will be created, or updated, when quitting TERM.

It is not possible to change the COM port or baud rate settings from within TERM. 
Exit the program and start again with the new settings.


Running under Windows 95/98
---------------------------

1.	Use Windows Explorer to create a shortcut. Right click on "TERM.EXE" and 
	select "Create Shortcut" 

2.	Right on the shorcut and select "Properties". Click on the "Program" 
	tab. At the end of the "Cmd Line" box enter the COM port and baud rate 
	settings. Make sure there is a space after the command name (TERM.EXE) 
	Check the "Close on exit" box.
	
3.	Click on the "Screen" tab. Under "Usage" select "Full-screen".

4.	Click "OK" to finish.

You can now use Explorer to rename the shortcut to something a bit more meaningful.

You can also run TERM from the "Start" button. Click on "Start - Run", browse 
to "TERM.EXE" and click OK. It will then show the command line that will be 
executed. Add the parameters at the end of the line and click OK.
