1.2. AcroComm Main Menu
The main menu provides an icon tool bar for polling/programming terminals, setting
time, resolving transactions, setting terminal specifications, and clearing the screen.
1.3. Parameters Menu
The parameters pull down provides control of transaction storage, source of
instructions keyboard or PROGRAM.CLK file and communications setup.
1.4. Transaction File
When transactions are polled, the program can send them to one of two places: to the
screen or to a specific file. The current destination of transactions is shown on the
menu. When this option is selected, the program will ask for the name of the
Transaction Destination File. If a name is not given, it takes the default destination.
The Transactions will be replaced in the default transaction file, DATA.DAT, during
each polling when the Replace Flag is checked. The DATA.DAT will be appended to if
the Replace flag is NOT checked. When a file is not specified, they will be sent to the
screen.
