Adam CP/M

[Milli V]

Have a question about Adam's CP/M - I figured out how to use config.com to modify the screen color, text color etc and I see you can change the smart key assignments but I dont see a way of making them go away. During my experimenting with Assembly I have had a few occasions where I output garbage to the screen and these key assignments disappeared, I got the full 24 rows on the screen and when I press the smart keys I get ^D, ^E etc. Anyone know how I can actually do this on purpose and ger rid of them on the screen, I would prefer the having the full screen and not see them. Does Adam's CP/M emulate any old CP/M terminals and use escape codes (was thinking this may cause it to happen too)?

 

Also as an FYI I just about have all code created to allow file transfers to and from CP/M via the Adamlink modem and will be posting them if anyone is interested.

I thought config.com has an option to display or hide the SmartKEY display... or perhaps i'm remembering the CP/M replacement and much improved T-DOS.

I didn't see it but funny thing when I ran the same program a 2nd time it turned them back on!

I'm not at my computer now, but is there a program on CP/M called KEYS.COM?

No Keys Program

It seems CP/M on the Adam is somewhat VT-52 compatible. You can use the Home cursor (Esc H) and clear to end of screen (Esc J) Escape sequences
