Program Flags

The six Program Flags act as convenient program switches. They are used

to indicate separate states of a program. The program can set, clear, or

sense the individual flip-flops. The program can also sense or make the

state "All Flags ZERO." They can also be used to synchronize various

input devices which occur at random times (see Input-Output, Typewriter

Input).
