Sending
messages
such as
"OVER," "REPEAT,"
and
"WAIT.
.
.
"
can smooth
communications
and help
avoid
confusion.
But
even
then
your
partner may accidentally
send
out
of turn.
If
incoming text
appears
in
the
middle
of
yours:
Stop
typing
and
let
the text come
in (don't
leap),
press
both LEAP
keys to
highlight it,
then leap backward
to
areturn
and
letgoof
the
LEAPkey
to
move
itaway from
your reply
and
maintain proper
sequence.
If
you do not type or leap while receiving a
message,
pressing both
LEAP
keys
will
highlight all
the
text you
have received.
The
Cat's
send and receive
lines
are always connected
to
the
same
port.
When
the
SEND
command is connected to
the
modem, then
text
will
only be
received
from
the
modem. When the SEND command is
connected
to
the
serial
port, text
will
only
be
received
from
the serial port.
Automatic Answer
[SETUP]
can be used
to
adjust the Cat
to
automatically
answer the phone after
a
certain number of
rings (1,
3, 5,
or 7).
A
document character appears in
your
text when the
Cat answers, and when you or
the
other
party
disconnects
(this
does
not
happen when
you
use
[PHONE]).
If
the cursor already immediately
follows a
document
character.
the Cat does
notinsert
a
new
documentcharacter
when connecting or
disconnecting.
This prevents
docu-
ment characters from
piling
up
in your text
when there is
difficulty in
establishing
a
connection.
What
Happens When a Message Comes
In
Ifyour
text
has been
safely recorded,
the
Cat
will
erase the
entire
text when
it
senses
the incoming call. This
makes
room
for
the
incoming
message and does
not threaten
your
text,
since the
erased
text is safely
recorded on disk.
When
the sender hangs up, the Cat
highlights
the
text it
has
received,
and
-
the
next time
[DISK]
comes on
automati-
cally
-
attempts
to copy
up
the received text.
The
com-
bined texts
will
be recorded the next
time
[DISK] records
automatically.
If
the
received text
is
too large to
be copied
up,
no recording
will
occur.
The
Cat
will
wait
for
you
to
insert
a
blank disk
and
record
the
received text. This makes
it possible
to receive
a
full text while
you
are
away from
your
desk.
If
you
leave
an
empty text and
a
blank disk
in
the
drive, you
can receive
two
full
texts: the
first
will
be
recorded on disk, the
second
will
remain on-screen.
UNDO and Receiving
[UNDO] has
no effect
on
receiving.
