Numeric Prompts

A numeric prompt requires that you enter a number followed by [Return].
The DL20 evaluates 0 through 1022 as valid numeric responses. For
example:

MESSAGE NUMBER: 0

If you wanted to enter 27, here is what would happen:

Type [2].

MESSAGE NUMBER: 2

Type [7].

MESSAGE NUMBER: 27

Notice how the number scrolls in from the right. You must press [Return] to
accept the response. If you wanted to enter the number 5, you could type it
over the old response by typing 0005. The display would look like this:

Type [0].

MESSAGE NUMBER: 270

Type [0].

MESSAGE NUMBER: 2700

Type [0].

MESSAGE NUMBER: 7000

Type [5].

MESSAGE NUMBER: 5

Press [Return] to accept the response of 5.

Some numeric prompts also have default values. Here is an example:

WAIT TIME? 5

To accept the default response, press [Return]. To enter another response,
type over the default, like this:

WAIT TIME? 5

Type [2].

WAIT TIME? 2

Pressing [Return] now accepts 2 as your response
