HOW
TO USE
THIS MANUAL
This manual contains
the
information necessary
to
operate
the
Ampex
230
plus Video
Display
Terminal.
The
manual describes
how the
Ampex
230
plus terminal
works
in its
native mode.
Although
it is
likely that
an
action's
effect
(e.g., INSERT CHARACTER)
is the
same when
emulating another terminal, differences
are
possible. Consult
the
manual
for the
terminal
being emulated
if the
effect
is not as
expected. NOTE:
The
effect
of an
action available
in
an
emulation
but not in the
native mode
is not
described
in
this manual.
