software used. It is also recommended that the user avoid combinations of the <CTRL>
key and other keys, as these combinations are usually reserved for sending and
receiving special characters through the terminal. When the user changes the escape
sequence, a window with the hexadecimal representation of the old escape sequence
will appear. Pressing <ESC> to exit from the edit prompt will not work; it will add
additional <ESC> characters (hexadecimal value 1B) to the direct mode escape
sequence. If the user wishes to keep the old sequence, they need only to press
<ENTER>. Otherwise, they should press backspace to delete the old characters, then
enter the new sequence and press <ENTER>. If for some reason the selection is
unacceptable, an error message will appear and the sequence will revert to the old
character values. The escape sequence is stored with the user profile, therefore it is
possible to have different sequences for different users. A hardcoded escape sequence
is provided in the event that the programmed sequence is lost. It is semi-colon,
exclamation, semi-colon, exclamation or ‘;!;!’ none of these characters should echo
and no <ENTER> is required.
Appendix F lists the hexadecimal codes for the ASCII character set.

Each device port saves the output of a server to a FIFO buffer. Each buffer can store
up to 64K of data, giving approximately 100 text pages. However, the actual amount of
pages may vary according to the data. The user must be in monitor mode to view or
clear the data stored in the buffer.
