ページを印刷する5.7 OPERATING IN THE -4A MODE
5.7.1 The-4A mode performs exactly like the DSTS-4A with the EAB-3 option. All
commands are the same. To enter the -4A mode of operation type 'x' followed by
the 'enter' key. Once in the -4A mode use the -4A commands. A list of the
commands is attached. In addition typing '?' will bring up a menu of commands.
5.7.2 Single character commands such as 'A' do not need to be followed by enter.
Multiple character commands such as 'cf' or 'd2345' must be followed by the 'enter'
key.
