Quick list:

PR#N = where N is slot number (1 or 2); initialize output on port.
IN#N = where N is slot number (1 or 2); initialize input on port.
nnnN = set line width to nnn.
nnB = set baud rate to one of 15 values, from 50 - 19,200.
C = send ^M whenever line width exceeded.
nD = set standard settings for data bits & stop bits; Data range from 5-8, stop
1 or 2.
F = disable keyboard input.
I = echo output to display screen.
K = disable linefeed after carriage return.
L = enable LF after CR.
M = delete incoming LFs.
nP = set parity so a standard value of n; parity is even, odd, mark, space, or
none.
Q = quit terminal mode.
R = reset port.
S = send break character.
T = enter terminal mode.
X = turn on XON/XOFF mode.
Z = ignore further commands until Control-Reset pressed.

Format of commands is cT, where T is the desired command, and c is the command
character: Control-I for port 1, Control-A for port 2.  To change the command
character, first type the command character, then type the control character
you wish to change c to (must be another Control-character).

The above is from "Technical Introduction to the Apple IIGS."
