Owner`s manual

The CONTINUE command takes no arguments. Its syntax is:

C[ONTINUE]

CONTINUE causes the processor to resume program mode, executing atthe

address currently in the program counter (PC). This address is the address

that was in the PC when the primary processor received the CTRL/P input

to interrupt processing and change to console mode. The system displays

the hexadecimal PC and the hex values for PSL and –SP (see Appendix H).

When the boot processor receives a CONTINUE command, it does not

perform processor initialization as it would for a boot procedure. The boot

processor just returns to the program it was processing.

Following execution of the CONTINUE command, the console terminal

enters program mode, and any ASCII characters entered on the console

terminal are passed on to the operating system. In program mode, the

console terminal acts like any other terminal on the system, until a CTRL/P

is issued to toggle it back to console mode.

NOTE: The CONTINUE command should be used selectively. Do not use

the CONTINUE command to return to program mode if you have modiﬁed

memory in console mode.
