| | XON/XOFF Communications Protocol Not Supported in QuickBasic |
 | | The XON/XOFF handshaking protocol of the ASC option of the OPEN COM statement is not implemented in any version of QuickBasic (including versions 2.00, 2.01, 3.00, 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50), in Microsoft Basic Compiler version 6.00 or 6.00b for MS-DOS, or in Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.00 or 7.10 for MS-DOS. |
 | | During communications, the ASC option expands tabs to spaces, forces carriage returns at the end-of-line, treats CTRL+Z (ASCII value 26) as the end-of-file flag, and transmits CTRL+Z when you CLOSE the communications channel. |
 | | This behavior occurs because the XON/XOFF handshaking protocol of the ASC option of the OPEN COM statement is not implemented. |
