SENDLINE <string> <string> is sent
followed by a CR (and LF if LF option
was used in OPEN)
SENDBREAK causes a break on the line
SENDFILE <fname> sends file as lines
followed by CR (and LF if LF option
was used in OPEN)
SENDPACKET <string> sends
<STX><string><ETX><LRC> where LRC is
the XOR of <string> and ETX
SENDSLOW <string> string is sent one char. at

<variable>

ECHO display characters as received

The keyword FOR signals the end of the option
list and the beginning of the string list. Each
string may contain control codes (for example,
~0D or ^M) or wildcard characters (@s).

If any string contains internal spaces, it must be
enclosed in quotes (‘‘this string’’).

The return code is the number of the string that
was matched (for example, 1 if the first (or only)
string was matched).

VAR <variable> is the user variable to hold
the data
FILE <filename> name of a file to hold the
data, if file exists, it is overwritten

included in the string. If a terminator
character is found, the return code of n
means the nth character in the END
string was found.

Flush option discards pending input:
PORT FLUSH
