You can enter a small amount of information into a file directly from your terminal keyboard. (You may enter a large amount if you want to, but that is easier with an editor).

To copy information from your terminal:

  1. Leave the FROM parameter empty. If the tofile is a new disk file, use the NEW function. For example,

       >FROM=;TO=NEWFILE;NEW
    

  2. FCOPY waits for you to enter records at your terminal. Use a Return to mark the end of each record. For example,

       ABC MOVING COMPANY    Return          **Record 1 **
    
       123 MAIN STREET SF    Return          **Record 2 **
    
       POP MOVING COMPANY    Return          **Record 3 **
    
       789 PINE ST SJ        Return          **Record 4 ** 
    
  3. Type CTRL Y or :EOD to mark the end of the fromfile. (If you use CTRL Y, FCOPY can accept additional commands. If you use :EOD, FCOPY terminates.)
