External Programs 

Congratulations on updating your Legacy firmware. Below are directions on how to use the external programs that are packaged with your firmware update.
 
QBACK
Create a file called programs.ini.  Place a line in the file [qback] and then a <cr> character.
Each subsequent line should contain a file spec; wild card characters are allowed.  When the program is run, all files listed will be sent out the serial port using y-modem.


MB
Mark the beginning of a block of text, then move the cursor to the end of the text block. When MB runs it will prompt you for a file name.  The text between the mark and the cursor is moved to that file; size is not important as long as there is enough memory for the block of text.
 

GUESS
This program has no special keystrokes.  You simply enter your guesses and press e-chord.


ZAPEM
To start the program in left handed play mode, run the program with a command line parameter of 'l'dis.
When ZAPEM is active, the following keys are available:
Dots 1-2-3 and 4-5-6 are the fire buttons
Dots 1-2-3 are for left handed play 
Dots 4-5-6 are for right handed play.  
Dot 1 and 6 fire on the right lane
