    You'll need to set these parameters via the <SETUP> key. It's
pretty easy to figure how to change the settings. Use the machine
for a while until you're sure things are working properly, then
go back into the SETUP menu and type <SHIFT><S>, which saves the
setup in non-volatile memory (ie, through a power-cycle).

    You may find, unfortunately, that some programs will set
the port to their own, hard-coded, default. I can think of
one comm program which does this; there are probably others.
