	Note: Occasionally you may want to receive several pages of data and then sign off from data base before reviewing the data with the arrow keys. If you accidentally press a key other than PAGE or an arrow key as you review the data, your computer system may appear to "lock up." To correct the problem, switch your TI Telephone Coupler (Modem) from FULL duplex ("F") to TEST ("TST") and then back to FULL duplex. Then you can continue your review.
