Introduction to S4 9

the upper pin-sockets of each side should
be empty.

Terms and Basic Concepts

The message ESC in the display means that
the ESC key was pressed during or before
execution; the previous command was not
completed or maybe not even started.
The ZIF means the Zero-Insertion-Force
socket on the front panel.
The Keypad refers to S4's 45 keys. Key repeat
is automatic, when a key is held down. The
delay after the first entry is longer than that
after subsequent entries, to prevent false
repetition. When data is being entered by
repetition, the flashing block cursor changes to
a steady underline cursor, so that progress is
easier to follow.
The Screen means the remote terminal screen.
The Display means either the terminal screen
or S4's liquid crystal.
The Keyboard refers to the remote terminal.
The LCD is S4's own Liquid Crystal Display.
Outputs are shown boxed in the text, meaning
that this is literally what you will see:


The Command Line means the display line
which starts with a prompt >.
An operation will be performed if you press
ENTER or be aborted if you press ESCape.
