Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                                CTTY──Notes
 
Setting up a serial port for CTTY
 
Use the MODE command to set up your serial port for baud rate, parity, bits,
and stop bit before using the CTTY command.
 
Using CTTY with programs that do not use MS-DOS
 
Many programs do not use MS-DOS for input or output. These programs send
input directly to the hardware on your computer. The CTTY command has no
effect on these programs; it affects only programs that use MS-DOS for
reading keyboard input and displaying output.
 
Setting the terminal device with COMMAND
 
In addition to the CTTY command, you can use the device parameter of the
COMMAND command to specify the input device.
