           TERMINAL ROM help info

   This ROM offers two commands and several features.
The commands are:

   *TERMINAL
or *TE.           -   Talk to Vax as a terminal

   *HOSTFS
or *HO.           -   Use Vax as a file-server

(These commands may be in lower case if you prefer)


   Vax-only users may put the ROM in the rightmost slot - in which
case they will be talking to Vax immediately on power-up, and can
forget about the rest of this document.

   Users of the BBC micro, e.g. VIEW users, can use the "bbc" command
on Vax.  This switches over to BBC BASIC ("bbc word" will switch over
to VIEW and "bbc lisp" to LISP etc.) and lets you use the BBC micro
as normal.

   The command *HOSTFS on the BBC will mean that files no longer
come from disk, but from Vax instead.  LOAD and SAVE will work
directly off Vax files.  To use this facility, you must have typed
"bbc" on Vax to start up the program which communicates with the
BBC.

**********************  READ THIS ********************************

   When you type *TERMINAL again to return to Vax, you will
still be talking to this program, so you will NOT get a prompt.

   The program is stopped by typing ".".  You can then use Vax as
normal.

******************************************************************

   By the time you read this (or a little later...) there will be
some commands on Vax which let you call commands on the BBC.
The simplest one will be "star" - i.e. typing "star help" on Vax
will be identical to typing "*HELP" on the BBC.

   Some other support programs will also be available, such as
"big" and "wee" to change the size of the cursor you get, and
"green" and "yellow" to change the text colour on colour monitors.

   Anything which can be done on the BBC (such as speeding-up/slowing-
down the cursor auto-repeat etc.) will be available from Vax.
See your local Guru, or "Advanced Users Guide" for special effects (FX...).
