			MTERM MANUAL

	MTERM is a very simple terminal emulator with capture/send
file capabilities.  This program when run will send or receive data
over standard IBM PC (or clone) hardware at rates up to 9600 baud.

USE:

	Copy mterm.exe to your program directory (i.e. \DOS, \BIN ....) 
on your default disk.  

STARTING MTERM:

	At the DOS prompt:

		MTERM [-p <1/2>] [-s <110......9600>] [-b <7/8>]
				[-pa <EVEN/NONE/ODD>] [-lf] [-ne]

		-p <1/2>	- Selects either COM1 or COM2
				  DEFAULT = COM1

		-s <Baud Rate>	- Selects baud rate
				  DEFAULT = 9600 baud

		-b <Bits>	- Selects # bits in data word (7 or 8 ONLY)
				  DEFAULT = 8

		-pa <1/0/-1>	- Selects parity
					EVEN = EVEN Parity
					NONE = NO Parity
				        ODD  = ODD Parity
				  DEFAULT = NO Parity

		-lf		- If present turns all carrage returns <CR>'s
				  to <CR><LINE FEED>
				  This is used to log and show data from 
				  devices that don't output <LF>'s 
				  DEFAULT = No change no LINE FEED's added

		-ne		- Don't echo data when sent from XFER file.
				  This is used when sending data from a slow
				  machine to another that echos the data.

		EXAMPLE:

		C:>mterm -p 2 -s 600 -b 8 -pa EVEN -lf

		Would run MTERM using COM2 and at 600 BAUD, 8 BITS,
		EVEN parity CR modification when it came up up it would say:

               RS-232 Terminal Emulator  MOT Version 2.4 4-Sep-90
                               *** USING COM2 ***
                               ** SPEED = 600 **
			         ** BITS = 8 **
			       ** PARITY EVEN **
                                ** CR -> LFCR **

CONTROLLING MTERM:

	The ` key is the HOT key for controlling MTERM.
	Typing ` while MTERM is running gets you:


	MTERM Actions
	1 - DOS
	2 - Open/Close Log File
	3 - Open Xfer file
	4 - Quit Program
	Select 1-4:

MENU ITEMS:

		1 - DOS		Typing 1 and return will run DOS
				so you can do disk directories, 
				delete files, or any other DOS
				action.
				Typing EXIT at the DOS prompt
				will return to MTERM

		2 - Open/Close Log File

				Will get you: 
					Open a log file: <Any file name>
					
				The data that either you type or is
				printed to the screen will be saved in
				a file.
				
				If you have a log file running then
				typing ` and 2 at the menu prompt will 
				close and save the file. Also quitting
				MTERM will close the file.

		3 - Open Xfer file

				Open an Xfer file:<file name>

				The file chosen here will be sent out via the
				COM port used by MTERM to the remote system

		4 - QUIT
		
				This will end MTERM, it will close any open
				log file and close any transfer in progress.
								
	At all other times MTERM acts just like a computer terminal,  anything
you type on the keyboard will be sent to the remote system.  Anything it sends
out will be echoed on your screen.  If MTERM is not attached to anything and
you run it nothing will appear on your screen when you type.  Typing ` will
get you the control menu.
