V2.11 was on the computer at work that replaced the TI Terminal.
Speaking of the TI Terminal, instructions given to us said to type CTRL C after
dialing up the server.
One guy didn't know the CTRL key was used the same as a Shift key.
He would POUND on the keyboard with both hands trying to get connected.
He was so frustrated that he wanted to throw the terminal out the window 

I told him to hold down the CTRL key and press the C key so he could log on.

I knew that much because I had been using my C=64 to sign on to some dialup
BBSs in the area (some PC based,  an Apple/Mac one and one with Atari on it).
Plus at home I had a Netronics ASCII/Video terminal on RTTY that I used CTRL
key commands for EOL and PageDown (I think CTRL M and CTRL J been long time
since doing that I may be wrong with what keys were used).
