Carriage Return in SVGA text messages?

Maybe I'm missing the really obvious, but how do I insert a carriage return when creating or editing a text message for the SVGA option? I can't find references to it anywhere.

Thanks

Hit the ENTER key. I don't know why any one would refer to it as a
carriage return unless they were a computer programmer ;o)

In reply to this post by N5GE

Well my still operational Model 15 needs it as it does not have the Carriage
Return (CR) option installed. Just for fun and demonstrations I fire it up.
Driven from a Timewave 59Y. No way to get Baudot out from the K3 & P3.

Many do not send it any more and it the Model 15 just sits there piling up ink
at the end of a line. And please do not forget to send the line feed (LF)
character too as it needs it or it will print over the last line. TNX!

So the term is before computers and not from computer programmers, it is a
historical reference to the original TTY.

Actually I'm creating and editing RTTY memories and a carriage return (cr) or new line. (nl) was the first thing that came to mind at the time. I want to TX my call and insert a CR/NL before the memory stops TX'ing. In any case hitting ENTER completes the editing process entirely and doesn't allow further text entry.

Or people old enough to have been doing RTTY using mechanical teletype units. Besides Carriage Return (CR) we had Line Feed (LF). Of course on a typewriter carriage return gave you a line feed for free.

All these computer people seem to call it new line.

Some people miss AM. I miss the pictures we used to do with CR and no LF to get overprints.

Tim,

I don't have an SVGA, so I don't know how it wants control characters. CR is ASCII 13, hex 0D. Maybe a \r.

...or an old guy. The Model 19 TTY had a CR key, and a separate LF key, if my memory is correct. That is what most of us used for RTTY before computers. Smelly, noisy, but they worked.

The key was a CR key well before it was an ENTER key.

I remember 30 years ago when word processing programs were becoming available with word wrap many experienced typists had trouble getting their minds around that you didn't have to hit Enter (the equivalent of running the carriage back) at the end of each line. That formatting could be done later was tough to grasp.

Re: Carriage Return in SVGA text messages?

Yes, the early programs were exciting. I bought Lotus Suite and hated to see it go by the wayside.

BTW,
Has anyone on the list ever used a model 40 teletype with magnetic tape storage?

Hi Dick,

Yes, that was a recent discovery. It is hidden under the FIGS and
N keys. But what really baffles me is that I can not get it out of CAPS and
I've been accused or shouting and just being rude.

I guess I don't have enough time on the GREEN KEYS to have learned
all the subtleties yet.

Re: Carriage Return in SVGA text messages?

Re: <But what really baffles me is that I can not get it out of CAPS and I've been accused or shouting and just being rude.>

That shows you that the folks who complain the most usually know the least!

Long time ago...going from memory here:

No small letters were available. Up through the Model 19, everything used Baudot code which only had caps. RTTY was the same way in those days.

Figures key put the TX and RX TTY's into Figures mode (numbers, punctuation, etc.), LTR key put them into letters mode. Figures and letters key was always sent twice just in case the first one didn't decode properly...or at least the letters key was. That way you didn't leave the other guy in the opposite mode. Nothing worse than being in figures when the other guy was sending letters! ASCII came later with Caps and small letters, and no FGS or LTR keys. Model 23 sent ascii. I don't think it was compatible with our earlier TTY's. I never had a model 23. Went straight to rudimentary computer code/decode instead. Converted my homebrew terminal so it could talk to my computer (expanded Cosmac Elf with tiny display and keyboard...google it...wish I still had it). Nothing like today, though. I THINK that gave me the option to use ASCII, but can't remember for sure.
