When programming the DL20, you are prompted to enter specific types of
information. The DL20 uses two types of prompts, Yes/No prompts and
numeric prompts. Each type requires a specific type of response.

Yes/No Prompts

Yes/No prompts require that you type [Y] for Yes or [N] for No. Only the
letters Y or N (upper or lowercase) are accepted as responses. An example
Yes/No prompt is:

EDIT?

Press [Return] after typing [Y] or [N] to accept the response. For example:

EDIT? [Y]

Some Yes/No prompts have a default response that displays. For example:

PRINT MSGS? N

To accept the default, just press [Return]. To change the response, enter [Y]
and [Return].
