Changing
Commands
As you
skim through
the
list
of commands,
you'll
notice
that the first few characters
in the command are
capitalized
and the rest aren't. The
capitalized letters
are a shorthand way of entering
a
command and
are
the minimum number
of characters
you
need
to type in to use that command. For
example, with the com-
mand DISPlay, you
can
enter DISP, DISPL,
DISPLA and DISPLAY and
all these entries will
work. You
can also enter commands
using lowercase,
uppercase,
or a combination
of
lowercase
and uppercase
letters.
Most
people
find
it
preferable
to enter their
commands in lowercase,
but
fbr
emphasis the commands in
this manual
are
printed
uppercase.

When
you
change
a command's value,
the
PK-96
will let
you
know

be automatically
saved. Say

provided you
haven't removed
the PK-96's internal

JP-1. Also, all commands that accept values or
parameters
may
be typed without
any argllments to check
their

setting.
If', while
blissfttlly changing

and such,
you
find that
you've
"dug
yourself
into

and the PK-96
doesn't work
as
well
as it did
before, enter REINIT-it will reinitialize most
of the com-
mands to their
default settings
and
perfbrm
a RESTART,
but it won't lose

(Contrary
to
this, if
you
enter RESET,
you'll
retum
the PK-96 back to its factory
default settings,
lose
any
stored mail messages,
and
you'll
have
to
go
through
the autobaud
routine
again.)
