          A    This option specifies whether or not handles are allowed on
               the system.  (a handle is an alias.  Like CB Radio.)

          B    This option specifies whether or not the user's phone number
               is asked for during the logon process.

          C    This option controls local security protection.  When set
               to ON, it prevents anyone present from seeing the caller type
               their password and phone number (if turned on).

          D    This option specifies whether or not the RENEGADE.OVR file
               is to be accessed from, EMS (expanded) memory.  If the overlay
               can't be stored in EMS, Renegade will access the overlay from
               disk as usual.  (EMS is MUCH faster in accessing then the disk
               due to the huge difference in access time between disk and
               memory.)

          E    This option controls global activity trapping.  If set to
               ON, the BBS will make a trap file for EVERY caller.

          F    This option specifies whether or not to automatically open
               the chat buffer during a chat session.

          G    This option specifies whether or not the auto-message is
               displayed during the logon process.

          H    This option specifies whether or not the bulletin menu is
               presented during the logon process, enabling the SysOp to
               display dated bulletins that are of special interest to
               callers, such as BBS lists, online game scores, file request
               lists, and so on.

          I    This option specifies whether or not the last few callers list
               is displayed during the logon process.

          J    This option specifies whether or not the user's statis are
               shown during the logon process.

          K    This option specifies whether or not Renegade's MCI color
               codes will be stripped from the SysOp log.

          L    This option specifies whether or not the phone should be
               taken off-hook during local logon.

          M    This option specifies whether or not to force all users to
               vote on all unanswered voting questions.

          N    This option controls the "compression" of file and message
               base numbers.  This option takes a little explaining...

               Say you have ten message bases (1-10), and bases 2, 6 and 9
               are restricted from certain users.  Nnormally when the list of
               message areas is displayed, those areas are not shown, leaving
               a gap in the listings (1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10).  If this option is
               set to on, all the message base numbers are made contiguous..
               (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) to the user.

          O    This option controls the search for duplicate files during
               the uploading process.

          P    This option controls the direction of the SysOp log.  You have
               three choices.

               File only -- Puts the log in the SYSOPxx.LOG file.

               Printer & file -- Same as File except it outputs the log to
                                 the printer also.

               Printer only -- Sends the log to the printer only.

          R    This option specifies whether or not ROM BIOS routines are
               to be used for all local screen output.  Enabling this option is
               useful on systems that aren't 100% compatible with the IBM PC
               standard.

          S    This option specifies whether or not "snow checking" is required
               for Color Graphics Adapters (CGAs).

          T    This option defines if new users will be allowed onto the BBS or
               not.

          U    This option defines if Renegade will Swap memory if it shells out
               of the BBS.

          V    This option defines if the BBS will use the Shuttle Logon.

          W    This option toggles Chat call paging. (After a user pages you,
               the board buzzes you to remind you that the user wants to chat.)

          X    This option defines if the time limits are per call or per
               day.

          Y    This option defines if most options (some are logon, most
               functions in SysOp menu, etc.) ask for the Sysop password
               before letting you execute the command.

          1    This option defines the number of the user that will receive
               "new user" messages.  (Default is 1.)

          2    This option specifies the number of minutes before the bell
               is sounded to alert the user that the system is about to
               "time out".

          3    This option specifies the number of minutes that are allowed
               to pass with no activity before the system "times out".
