Abstract
A method of transferring information between a host data processing system and the private storage media of an interactive text processing system, and the reverse, under control of the host while the text processing system is emulating a host terminal. All information intended to be written to or read from the text processor's diskette and commands therefor, are marked with a unique indicator that is recognized by emulation software and utilized thereby to steer said commands and information to a file transfer program and away from the emulated terminal screen. This is done in a manner that is transparent to the host which handles transferred information as though it were being written to or returned from the emulated screen.
