HSVT100-2 Help for VT100 on ACSVMF
 
This sheet tells you how to use a VT100 or VT100-compatible terminal with CMS
after signing on with the acsvmf command.  This sheet assumes you know how to
use an IBM 3278-style terminal,  with its  PF keys and other special function
keys.
 
After typing the acsvmf command, you will get the prompt ENTER TERMINAL TYPE:
Respond to this with vt100 or hdsavt.  Then you will get the SU/VM greeting.
 
While you are  using ACSVMF,  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.
