MCMON Command Summary

The MCMON,  is a modified version of the Basic Creed Monitor.  The Basic Creed Monitor was published as part of an article in Micro-8 newsletter on May 20,1975.  Usage is simple.  The user enters a three digit octal character by typing the value using the numbers 0-7.  As it is entered, the value is shifted three bits at a time into a holding buffer.   The user selects an action to be taken using the contents of the buffer by typing a command character.  The monitor does not expect or wait for the user to type enter or carriage return.
