Download
This option allows the user to download application programs (*.SHX), BASIC run-time
(bas.ops.shx), BASIC programs (*.SYN) or font files to the terminal. There are 6 resident
locations and one Active Memory. A maximum of 7 programs can be downloaded to the
terminal. The application program downloaded to the Active Memory will be the only
activate program running. In order to activate one of the other programs, immediately after
downloading, input a name for the program desired or just press the enter key to keep its
current name if one is applicable. This will enable the user to download the program. The
application program’s type, name, and size will be shown on the list of programs when
entering the Download or Activate menu of the Application Manager. The file type is a
small letter that follows the program number (01~06), it can be either ‘b’, ‘c’ or ‘f’ which
represents BASIC program, C program or font file respectively. The program name is up to
12 characters and the program size is in units of K bytes.

Activate
This option will enable the use to activate one of the residential programs. In order to
accomplish this, the use must copy one of the 6 resident programs to the Active Memory.
Upon activation of the new program the original program in the Active Memory will be
replaced. Note: A font file cannot be activated, and a BASIC program cannot be activated
either if the BASIC run-time does not exist.

Upload
The Upload option gives the user additional method for retrieving an application program.
It allows a user to transmit the application programs to a host PC or another terminal. This
function also allows a terminal to be cloned without going through a PC.
