Using DasherQ
Function Keys
Use the keys simulated on the toolbar in DasherQ - your OS might interfere with the F-keys on your keyboard.
The Shift and Control keys can be used in conjunction with the simulated F-keys just like a real Dasher.
The "Brk" key sends a Command-Break signal to the host when connected via the serial interface.
"Hold" and "Local Print" work as you would expect.
