@TERMINAL-MODE <capital letters y/n> <delay after CR y/n> <stop on full page y/n>
When @TERMINAL-MODE is given it will ask three question. The questions are
- CAPITAL LETTERS?
- If the user answers YES all small letters will be converted to capital letters. If the answer is NO, there will be no conversion. Other answers will give no change in mode.
- DELAY AFTER CR?
- If the answer is positive some dummy characters will be printed after each carriage return. This is necessary for some terminals (for example SILENT 700) if they run at 30 characters per second.
- STOP ON FULL PAGE?
- This feature is useful for fast displays. If 20 lines have been listed on the display without any intervening input, the output will stop so that the user may take a look at the output. The listing will continue as soon as any break character is typed. The control / shift P can be recommended as a continue character because it will be completely ignored.
