The format for this escape sequence is:

    ESC BS {option} delimiter command delimiter

• null or 0 - Execute the command full-screen and prompt for "press any key" when the DOS command terminates. This is typically used for DOS command such as directory commands which do not prompt for user input.
  
• 1 - Execute the command full-screen and do not prompt for "press any key" when the DOS command terminates. This is typically used for DOS applications that involve user input such as word processors, etc.
  
• 2 - Execute the command without clearing the screen. This is typically used for DOS applications that do not perform screen I/O.
  

"command" is the actual DOS command to be executed. The command is executed relative to the current directory that the PL-TERM.EXE terminal emulator is running out of. You can specify any DOS command desired including the use of drive letters and paths. You can also execute the command "COMMAND" (with suitable path) to invoke a DOS command-prompt shell.

Examples of shelling DOS commands would be the following BASIC commands:

               EQUATE ESC TO CHAR(27)
              EQUATE BS TO CHAR(8)
    *
    * Execute a DOS directory command pausing after the display
             PRINT ESC : BS : "%DIR C:\*.EXE%" :
    *
    * Execute a Word processor
             PRINT ESC : BS : "1%D:\WP\WP%" :
    *
    * Execute a Data Compression utility that does not screen output
             PRINT ESC : BS : "2%PKUNZIP WORK.ZIP TEST.TXT > NUL%" :

    ESC BS "O" {option} delimiter dos_file_name delimiter

    ESC BS "C"

• null or 0 - Overwrite an existing output file and do not simultaneously send output to the screen.
  
• 1 - Overwrite an existing output file and do simultaneously send output to the screen.
  
• 2 - Append to an existing output file and do not simultaneously send output to the screen.
  
• 3 - Append to an existing output file and do simultaneously send output to the screen.
  

An example of capturing to a DOS file would be:

               EQUATE ESC TO CHAR(27)
              EQUATE BS TO CHAR(8)
    *
    * Begin appending to DOS file TEST.TXT while still updating the screen
              PRINT ESC : BS : "O3%test.txt%" :
    *
    * EXECUTE a LISTU command which will be captured
              EXECUTE "LISTU"
    *
    * Stop the capturing
              PRINT ESC : BS : "C" :
    

    ESC BS "P" {option} delimiter dos_file_name delimiter

• null or 0 - Overwrite an existing DOS file.
  
• 1 - Append to an existing DOS file.
  

    ESC BS "D" delimiter dos_file_name delimiter

       ESC CTRL-D        {the ASCII codes 27 and 4}

(1) Key sends its normal value if not programmed (or if programmed to an empty string).

(2) Key's menu definition supersedes any programming - these keys are recognized while processing the PL-CFG.INI file, but they are effectively non-programmable.

(3) The standard PC BIOS does not allow this key to be recognized.

(4) When <SCROLL LOCK> is off, sends the program sequence. When <SCROLL LOCK> is on, scrolls the terminal porthole.
