TRANSMIT OUT MODEM OR TERMINAL PORT (X)

Purpose: Transmit data out modem or terminal port.

Format:  X 1 2 ,3;vvvv

Remarks: X         Receive data

         1...3  Select three modifiers as follows:

                   1         M is receive from modem port.
                             T is receive from terminal port.

                   2         P is receive with protocol.
                             N is receive with no protocol.

                   3         is what to transmit:
                             0 is default file data.
                             A - Z is all records of that file.
                             %i is string register $i (0 - 3 ).

         ;vvvv     Receive timeout.  If reader does not receive data by
                   vvvv * 10 msec., then execute next program statement
                   (vvvv = 1 to 6500).


         Transmit to terminal is always without protocol.  The command XTP is
         the same as the command XTN.

         A number is placed in numeric register #0 to indicate the status of
         the transmission:

                   Number                      
                   in #0:              Meaning:

                   0                   Good Transmit

                   1                   Transmit failure

                   2                   Transmit timeout occured with
                                       no transmission

         Note:  Certain characters can be represented in character sequences
         involving the backslash (\) character.  The sequences \n (line
         feed), \b (backspace), and \e (escape) are recognized as special
         control characters.  Any control character can be generated by
         using \0xHH where HH represents the two hexidecimal digit value
         for the control character.  For example, \0x7f is the DEL character.
         This applies to Transmit to Terminal Port only.

Examples:

         XMP,A;900 is transmit (X) out modem port (M) with protocol (P)
         transmitting file A with a 9 second timeout.
