 PAGEON

 Function
  Turn on the SysOp paged indicator (flashing p on status line) and
  update user statistics.

 Syntax
  PAGEON   No arguments are required

 Remarks
  One of the features of PCBoard where change is often requested is the
  operator page facility.  Some people want to be able to configure
  multiple ranges of availability per day, some want a different sounding
  page bell, longer or shorter page attempts, etc, etc.  This statement,
  along with CHAT, PAGEOFF, and PAGESTAT(), allow you to implement an
  operator page in any way desired.  Note that this statement will also
  update the current callers statistics PSA if it is installed.

 Examples
  PAGEON
  FOR i = 1 TO 10
   PRINT "@BEEP@"
   DELAY 18
   IF (KINKEY() = " ") THEN
    CHAT
    GOTO exit
   ENDIF
  NEXT
  :exit
