Sharing Mode

Sharing mode is toggled OFF or ON by pressing <

In this mode, any user can access any CPU at any time (even share one). When sharing is disabled, no one but the selected user
can access that CPU. When sharing is enabled, and more than one person is attached to a CPU, it is displayed on the main
Command Mode Menu. The number that displays which user is connected to which port changes color (from white to red), and
the number shows how many users are connected to that particular port.

Search Mode

Search mode allows the user to enter and maneuver through a list of CPU names. The best matching CPU name is selected. The
list of CPUs may also be searched for a specific (or similar) name. To enter SEARCH Mode, simply begin typing alphanumeric
characters. The following commands are valid when the search option has been invoked from Command mode.

will stay there when switched back to that particular CPU (as long as the parameters are saved before exiting).
