UTIL Command E - Echo

This command lets you specify what computer will "echo" what you type.
When you type on your keyboard, you will not see your keystrokes on your
screen unless one of the computers echoes it back to you.  Options for echo
are:

C)aller's software     Your communications software will echo your keystrokes
                       to your screen.  This will make your keystorkes appear
                       faster, since they do not have to be processed by
                       RBBS-PC and sent back to you.

R)BBS-PC               RBBS-PC will echo all your keystrokes back to you.
                       this is the default mode for RBBS-PC.  The advantage
                       to this mode is that you can be sure that what you
                       typed is what RBBS-PC got, since it echos back to you.

I)ntermediate network  A data network (i.e. Compuserve) does the echoing and
                       neither RBBS-PC nor the caller's software need echo
                       the characters back to the keyboard as they are
                       typed in.  When the network delay is significant,
                       this selection may be useful.

TIPS:
1.  The fastest performance is C)aller's software, because echo does not
    have to wait to transmit character and the get it transmitted back.

2.  The safest form of echo is RBBS-PC.  That way the caller sees what
    RBBS- PC really received rather than what was sent.

3.  Intermediate host echo can be used when RBBS-PC is accessed through
    other computers, such as as Compuserve.

4.  Use "C" or "I" if it seems to take a long time for what you type to
    appear on your screen.  This is a common problem when typing must pass
    through several computers, e.g.  on PC-Pursuit and Compuserve.
