 TRANSLATING INCOMING/OUTGOING CHARACTERS

 Sometimes it is necessary for certain incoming or outgoing
 characters to be changed to another value or stripped alto-
 gether. For this purpose, Telix keeps in memory and incoming
 and an outgoing character 'translate table'. For every charac-
 ter in the ASCII set, the table defines what it should be
 changed to. By default, no character translation is performed,
 as for each character, the new value is defined to be the same
 as the old one. The translate table facility is entered by
 pressing Alt-W while in terminal mode. Telix will ask whether
 you want to work with the incoming or outgoing table, and then
 display the translate table screen with the following menu at
 the bottom:

              Load  Clear  Save  Edit  Other  eXit

 Most of the screen is used to display translation values. Each
 column holds on the left the original character (ASCII value),
 and on the right the new character. Only half the ASCII set
 can be displayed on one screen. Select the 'Other' option to
 toggle the display to show the other half of the character
 set.

 The 'Load' option is used to load a previously saved translate
 table definition file. Telix will ask for the filename, in-
 cluding extension.

 The 'Clear' option is used to reset all values in the trans-
 late table in memory, so that no translation is performed.

 The 'Save' option is used to save the current translate table
 definition to a disk file. Telix will ask for the file name to
 save the table to. You must include the extension if needed (a
 common extension for this purpose is '.XLT").

 The 'Edit' option is used to actually edit the translate
 table. Telix will ask for the old ASCII value, and the new
 one. If the new value of a character is defined as 0, that
 character is completely striped.

 It is sometimes useful to have an incoming and/or outgoing
 translate table load automatically when Telix is run. If the
 file TELIXIN.XLT exists at Telix start-up, it is assumed to be
 a default incoming character translate table, and is loaded
 into that slot. Similarly, if the file TELIXOUT.XLT exists at
 start-up, it is assumed to be the default outgoing translate
 table, and loaded.
