Thanks Brent. So when I hit the end of an 'S' record line.. is it just a Line Feed I need to go to the next? Or just type the next S record right in behind it?
Also curious about how you type S records at the monitor prompt. I'm reading and trying to figure out how to do that. Many thanks!

You can formulate your own S records and type them at the monitor, too.
