HSVC4404-Help for VC4404 on SUVM
 
This sheet tells you how to use a Volker Craig VC4404 (Chat) terminal with CMS
after signing on with  the suvm command.   This sheet assumes  you know how to
use an IBM 3278-style  terminal,  with its PF keys and  other special function
keys.
 
If you have a VC4404,  this sheet tells you  about how to use it in ADM-3 mode
(as opposed to VC404 mode).   Starting late summer, 1991, this is the only way
in which VC4404s can be used on SUVM.   To use this mode, make sure dip-switch
1 is set to 1 (as described in the VC4404's manual).
 
After typing the suvm  command,  you will get the prompt  ENTER TERMINAL TYPE:
Respond to this with adm3a.  Then you will get the SU/VM greeting.
 
While you  are using  SUVM,  errors  caused by  the phone  line will  make the
terminal lock up and sound the bell whenever  you press a key.   Use the Reset
function to recover from this.
 
The rest  of this sheet tells  you what keys  to use to do  various functions.
Sometimes  two or  more keys  are required  to  perform a  function:   if  the
function requires a sequence of keys,  the list shows commas between the names
of the keys.  Most of these functions are 3278 functions.
