Abstract: A method of transferring information by a hardware link (50) between a host data processing system (24, 58-68) and the private storage media (42) of an interactive text processing system (34-42), and the reverse, under control (64) of the host while the text processing system is emulating (52) 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 (56, 58) and utilized thereby to steer said commands and information to a file transfer program (54, 62), away from the emulated terminal screen (52, 34). This is done in a manner that is transparent to the host which handles (60, 66) unmarked transferred information as though it were being written to or returned from the emulated screen.
