CP/M 3 Control Character Summary
Table D-1. Nonbanked CP/M 3 Control Characters
Character Meaning
CTRL-C Terminates the executing program and redisplays the system
prompt, provided the cursor is at the beginning of the command
line. Also, if you halt scrolling with CTRL-S, you can terminate
the program with a CTRL-C.
CTRL-E Forces a physical carriage return but does not send the command
line to CP/M 3. Moves the cursor to the beginning of the
next line without erasing your previous input.
CTRL-H Deletes a character and moves the cursor left one character
position.
CTRL-I Moves the cursor to the next tab stop. Tab stops are automatically
set at each eighth column. Has the same effect as pressing
the TAB key.
CTRL-J Sends the command line to CP/M 3 and returns the cursor to
the left of the current line. Has the same effect as a RETURN
or a CTRL-M.
CTRL-M Sends the command line to CP/M 3 and returns the cursor to
the left of the current line. Has the same effect as a RETURN
or a CTRL-J.
CTRL-P Echoes all console activity to the printer. The first time you type
CTRL-P, CP/M 3 rings a bell at your console. You can use
CTRL-P after you halt scrolling with CTRL-S. A second CTRL-
P ends printer echo; no bell rings. CTRL-P has no effect if your
system does not include a printer.
