CW to DATA question

[K5LAD]

I see how the "IM" prosign is used to quickly terminate a
transmission when sending via the key to keyer connection but I
can't find how that "IM" can be implemented using the K3
Terminal program.  

I've searched archive messages and through the documentation
but I'm not having any luck finding an answer.  I've tried to just
append the prosign characters at the end of what I'm sending but,
of course, it sends IM instead of stopping.  Are there some
characters required to enclose the IM or how is it actually done?

Any help is appreciated.
73,

Hi Jim,

I looked at the source code of KComm (incidentally you are welcome to do so as well, it is GPL open source Free Pascal, whether you can make head or tail of it is another matter, I can't figure out what I did half the time.) It seems that I do it by sending EOT which is Chr(4). I can't remember whether it's a K3 menu option to use one or the other or whether either of them work. The Programmers Ref will probably have the answer to that.

Happy coding.

This is the technique the K3 Utility's terminal program uses.  EOT is sent
when the ESC key is pressed, when the input buffer empties, when you toggle
transmit with the CTRL-T or if you click the terminal page transmit/stop
button.
