STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Products Manual

Using REPLY and RECALL 

During the time you are running a program on the console, you are unable
to get a colon prompt on the console.  However, you can still review and
reply to media requests.  At the console, press the CTRL and A keys
simultaneously to display the equal-sign (=) prompt.  In response to the
equal-sign prompt, you can issue either the RECALL or the REPLY command,
described in the preceding sections.  This feature is useful, for
example, when running a program such as STORE which you expect will take
a long time to complete.
