XOFF define XOFF character
The XOFF command is used in a number of ways to control software handshaking during data transfer.
There are 4 variations:
XOFF#[port]
When used on its own, XOFF halts data transmission from the specified serial port. This provides a way to control the
output data stream which otherwise can only be controlled via the CTS line. XON is used to re-enable...](http://img.usermanuals.tech/thumb/5741/85262/w64_vidicode-programming-manual_d-251.png "Page 252

XON define XON character
The XON command is used in a number of ways to control software handshaking during data transfer.
There are three variations:
XON #[port]
When used on its own, XON re-enables data transmission after it has been halted using XOFF. If no port is specified, the
default port as defined by OPORT is assumed.
Note that CLEAR OUTPUT and ESCAPE will also re-...](http://img.usermanuals.tech/thumb/5741/85262/w64_vidicode-programming-manual_d-252.png "Page 253

YEAR read/set year value
YEAR is used to read or set the year value on the internal clock/calendar.
When reading it returns an integer from 0 to 99.
When setting, the year number from 0 to 99 must be specified.
An incorrect value will leave the current setting unchanged.
Examples:
YEAR=89
PRINT YEAR
Syntax:
YEAR = [integer 0..99]
[num-var] = YEAR

After that, returning to BASIC-mode is done by entering AT*B. This ‘stop’ function can be disabled by setting bit7 in address &49D (POKE &49D,&80), but care must be taken that the program can’t crash (define ON ERROR). LCD display codes: The LCD display is 2 lines of each 40 characters wide, but only 24 characters are visible! The following codes can be used if an output is done to port 6 with PUT, PUT$ or PRINT. 0 = NOP (no operation) 1 = Display OFF 2 = Display ON + Cursor OFF + Blink OFF 3 = Display ON + Cursor ON + Blink OFF 4 = Display ON + Cursor OFF + Blink ON 5 = Display ON + Cursor ON + Blink ON 6 = Shift Display Left 1 character 7 = Shift Display Right 1 character 8 = Cursor Left 1 character 9 = Cursor Right 1 character 10 = Cursor Down 1 line 11 = Cursor Up 1 line 12 = Clear Display & Cursor at Home 13 = Cursor at start of line (return) 14 = Cursor at Home 15-31 = reserved 32-127 = Normal ASCII characters 128-255= Special characters (lots of Japanese)
