Description

If the ESC key is pressed when in a popdown, you are returned to 
the last suspended application, or if none, to Index .

On the swedish keyboard there are some keys that gives more then 
the two characters obtained by pressing the key alone or together 
with a SHIFT key. The upper of the extra characters marked on the 
keys are obtained by pressing the key together with the <> 
(Diamond) key. The lower are obtained by pressing the key 
together with the [] (Square) key. Pressing [] together with , 
(comma) . (full stop) / (slash) or £ (pound) produces a black 
square.

If a SOFT RESET is performed with any file in the device :RAM.- 
the system will FAIL and often need a HARD RESET. After a FAIL, 
even if a soft reset is succesful, the system can be left in an 
unstable condition leading to a crash even months later. Back up 
your files and HARD RESET after a FAIL to be more safe.

A text slot can contain 243 characters. Write 123456789 in slot 
A1, <>BRE A1 to A2A24, <>H 255, <>R, <>BRP ^S with 0, <> arrow 
right, write 01234, the 4 is not accepted. This ruler can be used 
to test printing widths. <>ENT on a such a slot gave me a crash.

When using the calculator command "RclM", beware of old values in 
the registers, because there is no way of clearing them.

The letters A to Z, the digits 0 to 9 and the - (minus) character 
can bee used in filenames. If a swedish letter or another 
character is used in a filename, the file is saved with a 
filename consisting only of the characters before that character.

Sending ODD or EVEN parity works. On receiving, the parity bit is 
not cleared, so 50%PC% of the bytes are interpreted as a byte with 
the actual code+128.

Do not Batch receive after Sending a file. Every file received 
will have the same name as the file sent, and will overwrite that 
file.

If a SOFT RESET is performed with any file in the device :RAM.- 
the system will FAIL and often need a HARD RESET.

Do not use the command <>PURGE before you have made sure that 
there are no files in :RAM.-  See page 25. An easy way of doing 
this is to execute this CLI-file. 

.;PURGE.CLI, saved as plain text.
|ER:RAM.-//*~EN~E
.;Erase all files in :RAM.-
~I|PURGE
.;Go to Index, enter <>PURGE

The Index command <>CARD, does not show the presens of an EPROM 
until Catalogue EPROM <>CE, Save to EPROM <>ES or Fetch from 
EPROM <>EF, in the Filer, have been used on it first.

Cursor left will have the effect to move the cursor to the 
previous column when the cursor reaches the beginning of the 
slot.

If the cursor is in a slot containing an expression, you can move 
to the previous or next column using only the arrow keys.

Try the command <>COBRA.

Swap Case <>S, does not change case on swedish characters.

If a line above a hard page break is split by entering <>ESL, the 
second resulting line disapears under the hard page break. Split 
the line again. This second resulting line disapears and the 
first disapeared line apears below the hard page break. A 
disapeared line can be recovered by entering <>EJL.

The 'Insert at slot' option only works OK for loading documents 
with a maximum of two columns. Otherwise extra columns are added 
and the document is corrupted.

For printing on a printer that can print 132 characters on a 
line, go to  column a, Set margin <>H to 133, then press [] and 
cursor left once. Now you can move right in the columns and see 
where the right margin is.

The l in /left/ will be the first character to right of the left 
margin specified on options page. The t in /right/ will be 
positioned one position to the left of the last position of the 
wrapwidth or the columnwidth of the last column in the range to 
be printed, wichever is most to the right. /centre/ will be 
positioned one position to the left of the true centre-aligned 
position between the l and the t.

The last column-label is BL. Try <>BRE a not empty A1 TO BL1.

Row-number 32769 can be created with the ENTER key, but the 
operating system crashes. Approximatly 165000 bytes are used by 
an empty document. <>BRE A1 to A32768 takes 2 minutes.

Se page 81.

The CLI sequence ~. (tilde, full stop) represents a single full 
stop at the beginning of a line. 

Swedish characters in a CLI sequence are ignored.

The CLI sequence |m or |M represents pressing ENTER, same as ~E.

In the swedish Z88, the CLI sequence |, (vertical bar, comma) 
represents pressing the ESC key. In a popdown it always returns 
you to the last suspended activity, on the contrary to what is 
said about the brittish Z88s.

Do not use []+S. See page 25. Execute the following CLI file 
instead.

.;SSGN.CLI, saved as plain text.
.T>S.Sgn
.;Redirect screen output also to the file S.Sgn.
.S
.;Suspend CLI, maintain redirection.
.;To terminate, instead of []-S, hold SHIFT or <> and press ESC.

Do not use []+K. See page 25. Execute the following CLI file 
instead.

.,KSGN.CLI, saved as plain text.
.T<K.Sgn
.;Redirect keyboard input also to the file K.Sgn.
.S
.;Suspend CLI, maintain redirection.
.;To terminate, instead of []-K, hold SHIFT or <> and press ESC.

Do not use []+S. See page 181.

An example BOOT.CLI.

.;BOOT.CLI, saved as plain text.
#S|FL:*//96.pan~E~E
.;Go to Panel, load a panelsetting, Enter to update.
#E|FL:*//dico.prt~E|FU
.;Go to PrinterEd, load a printerdriver, update driver.
~I~D~D~D~D~D~D~R|KILL
.;Go to Index, put PipeDream on top of list, kill PrinterEd.
#F|SV|~R~X1~E
.;Go to Filer, change :RAM.0 to 1.
|ER:ram.-/boot.cli
.;Prepare for erasing :RAM.-/BOOT.CLI.
.;Always include this last line in your BOOT.CLI.
.;Save in :RAM.0 for execution if you don't have an EPROM.

TAB sends ASCII-character 9, = $09.

Action of received esqape sequences: ESC A - cursor up, ESC B - 
cursor down, ESC C - cursor right, ESC D - cursor left, ESC H - 
cursor to line 0, column 0, ESC I - cursor up, ESC J - delete to 
end of screen, ESC K - delete to end of line, ESC Y # 4 = 27 89 
35 52 - cursor to line 35-32=3, column 52-32=20.

Do not use []+S. See page 181.

Output to screen or a spool file is filtered from ASCII- 
characters 0 to 6 and 14 to 31. ImpExp escape sequences ESC N, 
ESC F, ESC E and ESC Z and other escape sequences are also 
filtered out, exept: ESC A, ESC B, ESC C, ESC D and ESC I wich 
are replaced by ASCII-characters 11, 10, 9, 8 and 11 
respectively.

Executing the following CLI-file gives local echo in Terminal. 
Some interesting details appear on swedish Z88s.

.;ECHO.CLI, saved as plain text.
.T<:SCR
.;Redirect keyboard input also to screen.
#V
.;Go to Terminal
.S
.;Suspend CLI, maintain redirection.
.;To terminate, hold SHIFT or <> and press ESC.

The different entering forms, decimal-, hex number, ASCII- 
character or symbol can be mixed in a driver without problem.

Off at CR for Ext. sequence is by default Yes. Before using a 
modified driver, be sure to explicitly set this option to Yes or 
No. If saved without doing this, the driver is not saved with 
this option. It seems to cause OZ to FAIL quite often otherwise.

To produce bold by overprinting, enter ?,BS,? as ON String.

When using overprinting in this way, characters in the highlighted 
area are not translated.

Some printers don't print a space for the 'Hard space' character, 
decimal code 160. To correct this, enter Translations, Character 
160, Changes to 32.

The swedish Z88s have six more translations using the same 
method.

Ext. Sequence can be set up to print characters from other 
national charactersets on Epson compatible printers in a similar 
way. To print spanish characters, enter ESC,"R",7 as ON String, 
and ESC,"R",0 as Off String. To print the Pt-character from 
PipeDream, first insert the highlight for Ext. sequence, then the 
character in the USA characterset with the same code as Pt, wich 
is #, and then the highlight for Ext. sequence again.

To list lines containing certain characters, enter the command 
LIST IF followed by a search string. Hold down the spacebar and 
the lines will be listed.

PC-Link cable connections, Z88 - PC are: 
2-3, 3-2, 4-5, 5-4, 7-7, 8-20, 9-6,8.
Hardware handshaking with a PS/2 and an AT does not work with the 
PC-Link cable but does with the printer cable connections. For 
use with PC-Links or RangerLinks software handshaking, either is 
OK.

Serial (Modem) cable connections, Z88 - Modem are:
2-2, 3-3, 5-20, 7-7, 8-20, 9-20. Assumes software handshaking.

2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 7-7, 8-6, 9-20, makes hardware handshaking 
possible. For a Datatronics modem, enter the command AT&S0 to 
force pin 6, DSR on if not default. Or connect 8-20.

Cable connections for Z88 - Sinclair ZX Spectrum are: 
2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 7-7, 8-9, 9-8.

Cable connections for Z88 - Luxor ABC 800 are:
2-3, 3-2, 4-5, 5-1, 7-7, 8-6, 9-8.

To use a PC as a parallell Centronics interface for your Z88. 
Enter: "mode com1:9600,n,8,1,p" and "copy com1 lpt1" on the PC. 
PrintOut from PipeDream or other applications to the PC. When 
transmission to the PC is finished, (the prompt returns), go to 
Terminal and press diamond Z. Then the printing starts. Ctrl C 
breaks.

When receiving, the Z88 signals to the sending device to stop 
sending, by bringing RTS low, when the receive buffer becomes 
more then half full.
