 ^hIntroduction to the Final Terminal^n

 Welcome to Terminate's On-Line Manual.

 This manual is designed so anyone can add comments or even change the
 language as easily as possible.

 Once you have upgraded, you may change the help files (*.HLP) for your
 own purposes, but you are NOT allowed to distribute any modified files
 without permission. If you do translate files into your own language,
 please send a copy to

   DAN BBS ApS, Kastanie alle 14, 2620 Albertslund, Denmark

 or to a Registration Site so other users can benefit from your work.

 ^hWhat is a terminal program?^n

 A terminal program is used for communicating with other computers via
 special hardware. Terminate takes care of the hardware interface - whether
 it's a data modem, ISDN adapter or fossil - via its' various inbuilt device
 layers and leaves you free to concentrate on the message rather than the
 medium.
 Terminates' various emulations and protocols will interpret colour codes
 and draw your screen appropriately and transfer files from and to your
 system.
 Other terminal programs will cope with this basic job too, but we like to
 think that what makes Terminate different is the helpful human interface
 and added features to help you communicate quicker and easier.

 This did not happen by accident. Terminate is better because of the
 suggestions from our hundreds of thousands of users all over the world.
 Please tell us if there is anything we need to change or add to make it
 better for YOU!

 ^hOnline help^n

 In almost every menu you are able to press F1 to get help for the current
 menu. If you want to change the help file, you can press E to edit the
 file directly. To speed things up, you can press F and enter a keyword to
 find. This function will only search forwards - so if you want to search
 the entire helpfile, you must press HOME first. I have chosen to use this
 form of On-line Help, because then the entire manual can be loaded
 directly from the menus where it is needed. You can run MANUAL.EXE, which
 will compile all the help files into one big manual without colorcodes,
 and then you can print it out. In this way you don't have to waste disk
 space on both help files AND a manual since you can always delete
 TERMINAT.DOC and run the MANUAL.EXE program later.

 ^hTERMINAT ?^n will give you a list of all available parameters

 You are now in terminal mode and have configured the system.
 If you have not configured Terminate, press Alt-O now. Remember that you
 can press F1 in any menu where you need more help.

 ^hEditing input fields^n

  When you start editing a field/number/string, you can modify the previous
  contents by first pressing cursor left/right. The field will then change
  colour and you can append/insert new characters. If you just start typing
  immediately, the field will be blanked and the cursor placed on position 1.
  Terminate will always remember the last 16 fields you have typed. That way,
  if you type something new in a field and want to change it back, just edit
  the field again and press ^bCURSOR-UP^n or DOWN and you are now able to
  cycle between the last 16 fields. In every input field where all characters
  are allowed, you can also press ^bAlt-A^n and the character selector will
  appear, showing all characters from #0..#255.
  If you want a return sign, just move to #13 and press return. To see all 16
  strings, press ^bAlt-F9^n from terminal mode.

  The following section outlines all Terminal mode commands and gives some
  useful tips and tricks. We advise you to read all of this if you are not
  familiar with modems and communication programs.

  If you are an advanced user you can probably guess what most functions
  are used for and settle for the quick reference at Alt-Z and the help
  lines at the bottom line in the menus.

 ^hMouse^n

  The mouse system in Terminate provides some nice features and allows you to
  move around easily in menus and even start downloading without touching the
  keyboard.
  You must have already installed a mouse driver, of course, eg: MOUSE.COM
  v9.00 (MicroSoft) or LMOUSE.COM v6.10 (LogiTech) or similar.
  Old mouse drivers may conflict with our communication driver - so if your
  screen messes up, try turning off the mouse. If that does not work, then
  try using another mouse driver. Old mouse drivers is also only able to
  support 80x25,80x43,80x50 and not all the extended modes like
  100x40, 132x60 etc.

  In menus, pressing the left button will be the same as pressing return on
  that line. The right button will simulate the escape key and will leave the
  menu. In terminal mode, left button on an empty line will send a return
  (ASCII 13). Right button on an empty line will send a space (ASCII 32)
  Pressing on any character on the terminal screen, will send that character
  exactly as if you typed it yourself. You do not have to position the cursor
  directly - if you click on a blank place, Terminate will find the nearest
  character on the screen and send that instead of the space.
  The mouse can be turned on/off in the Toggles menu.

                                    Send 'F'
                                    |
  ScreenLine = '    M   Messages       F  Files          '
                    |              |
                    Send 'M'       Send 's'

  Pressing right button in the statusline will allow you to toggle between
  3 different statusbars, allowing you to send all possible characters.
  If you hold down one of the buttons, and mark a piece of the line, the
  marked piece area will be sent by the modem; useful if a BBS program wants
  you to type an areaname already shown on the screen!

 ^hSHIFT-ESC^n Runtime information

  Pressing Shift-Esc will bring you to the Runtime information menu.
  This menu can be called from all other menus and will give you all
  kinds of information. Like current drive. Last incoming characters.
  Costs. Memory left etc. look for yourself.

 ^hAlt-A^n SmartNote

  If you use The Internet or some other network where you need to remember
  hundreds of different strings or note down lots of information, then you
  cannot live any longer without the SmartNote!
  The SmartNote function is better than a very long piece of paper because
  it is always ready for writing down anything needed at a later time.
  Backups will be made automatically.

  For example, you see something on the screen you wish to note:

    1. Press Alt-K and grab the text with the string grabber - this can
       be adjusted in size and position with Shift and cursor-keys.
    2. Then enter SmartNote by pressing Alt-A and import by pressing
       Alt-G at the place you want the grabbed text to appear.

  NB: It does not matter where you see something on the screen, just so long
  as you are inside Terminate. The Alt-K string grabber will work everywhere.
  If, for example, you want to copy something to another note file, just
  follow the procedure above.
  If you want to test this powerful feature, you could go into Alt-O, press
  Alt-K and grab some of the menu. Then start up SmartNote with Alt-A and
  insert the grabbed text with Alt-G. (You can grab from any of the Manual
  Files and insert in a note file.)
  You can adjust the grabbers' size by holding down Shift and then using the
  cursor movement keys (Arrow up, down, right or left). Z will Zoom the
  grabber to maximum size.
  Once you try this, you will soon understand how powerful and useful this
  feature can be!

  The editor inside SmartNote has the following functions:

  ^hSmartNote commands^n

   (Many of these commands are the same as Qedit by SEMWARE)

   ^bAlt-1^n          Uppercase line
   ^bAlt-2^n          Lowercase line
   ^bAlt-A^n          Select character from ASCII-selector

     and let you choose your match and jump to the place in the notefile
     where the match was found. If several matches were found, then you will
     be asked which match to use, like the above example.

   ^bInsert^n         Toggle Insert/Overwrite
   ^bDelete^n         Delete character under cursor
   ^bBackspace^n      Delete character before cursor

 ^hAlt-B^n (^hShift-CursorUp^n) Scrollback buffer

  Terminate will save the last incoming screen in a
  special buffer. The size of this buffer can be set in the configuration
  and you should decrease it if you are running short of memory. Both text
  and colours are saved in this buffer.

 ^hAlt-C^n Clear Screen

  Clears screen, sets default colours and cleans up.

 ^hAlt-D^n Dialing directory

  The dialling directory. From here you can store all your phone numbers and
  all kinds of other information. The phonebook also holds information on how
  much your phone bill will be for up to one year.

 ^hAlt-E^n Local echo

  Echo all characters sent to the modem on the screen. Normally this is
  always turned off.

 ^hAlt-F^n The File Manager

  Also calls external utilities and has almost every
  function that Norton Commander(TM) has - and then a little more :-)

 ^hAlt-G^n Scripts

  Scripts will follow in later versions...

 ^hAlt-H^n Hangup

  Hangs up the 'phone. The hangup string is determined in the Modem &
  Dialling Menu. You can also set a toggle so you will be asked to confirm
  hangup, before actually hanging up.

 ^hAlt-I^n Screen image

  Will save the current screen in the capture file (default is
  TERMINAT.CAP). You can define other capture files for each phonebook entry
  and the current capture file will always be used to save images.

 ^hAlt-J^n DOS-Shell

  Calls COMMAND.COM (COMSPEC) and invokes a dos-shell. You can set Terminate
  up to not swap out memory first. Type ^hEXIT^n to return.

 ^hAlt-K^n String grabber

  Grabs any string and saves it in the history strings. You can adjust the
  grab size by pressing Shift and move cursor keys right, left, up or down.
  You can use this function EVERYWHERE in Terminate. So if you call a system,
  and want to remember a phone number: Grab the number, go into the
  phonebook, add a new entry, edit phone number, press cursor up and
  recall the grabbed number. This should save you cluttering your desk with
  thousands of small pieces of paper!

 ^hAlt-L^n Capture file

  Opens or closes the current capture file; the capture files can be defined
  for each phonebook entry. If you define a capture file and call a system,
  the capture file will be opened upon connection. You can turn the
  auto-capture system off by pressing Alt-0 and toggle if off permanently.
  You can also force Terminate to always overwrite old capture files by
  turning on a toggle. Use PRN or LPTx to capture directly to printer.

   From this menu will you be able of viewing the current time in many
   countries. The GMT must be adjusted if it is not correct. Terminate will
   guess your time zone, but in some countries that have several time zones
   like USA and Russia you must adjust the GMT to the right time. GMT is
   the exact time in a part of London called Greenwich, which lies next to
   the river Thames. Press TAB to move the '■' around and the cursors to
   change time or zone. C will show you the entire list of countries that
   Terminate supports.

  ^hPrivacy Insurance^n

   With this function, Terminate will pretend that you are home. It will pick
   up the phone randomly after 1 to 5 rings and hang up immediately. Every
   call is noted in the logfile.

   ^hPrevent annoying phonecalls^n

   If someone wants to bother you by calling in at odd hours, this
   function will avoid any disturbance. After a while the would-be
   prankster will become bored and quit.

   ^hPrevent burglary^n

   By enabling this function you make sure that thieves who are calling you
   to check if you're home can not be sure whether you are home or not.
   They might think that you are home and don't want to talk to anyonne -
   in any case, they will certainly be uncertain and possibly change their
   mind.

   ^fWE CAN NOT GUARANTEE OR PROMISE THAT THESE FUNCTIONS GENERATE THE
   DESIRED RESULTS. USE AT OWN RISK.^n

 ^hAlt-N^n Send username

  Sends the user name from the current user profile. You will normally use
  this function where Terminate can not log on automatically.

 ^hAlt-O^n Configuration

  All the configuration menus.

 ^hAlt-P^n Adjust comm. parameters

  Quick change of device, comport, baudrate, databits, parity, stopbit. You
  can also save the chosen setup directly as the default startup settings.

 ^hAlt-Q^n Quit autologin

  Quits current autologin script. If you see a flashing ^h^fA^n in the
  statusline then probably Terminate did not logon properly. Try correcting
  the login scripts in the configuration menus or turn them off.

 ^hAlt-R^n Select download path

  Terminate has 3 download paths available. At startup, number 1 will always
  be the default - but you can change this manually or
  change it for each phone entry.

 ^hAlt-S^n Send password

  If you have called a system, then the password from the phonebook is sent.
  If that password entry is blank you will be asked to either input a new
  password directly or send the default password from the current
  userprofile.

 ^hAlt-T^n Terminal emulation

  Change the current terminal emulation. The first one - called 'Avatar/0*
  with ANSI-BBS fallback' - can be used on most systems to allow you to run
  both Avatar and ANSI at the same time. Terminal emulations determine how
  the control codes and colours are processed and displayed on your screen.

 ^hAlt-U^n System information

  Which multitasker, processor, graphics card, speed index etc...

 ^hAlt-V^n VISIBLE FAST (tm) access menu

  This menu allows fast access with the mouse to all functions from just
  one screen. For access, you can also just click a mouse button in the
  lower right corner.

 ^hAlt-W^n Translation editor

  Handles how characters are changed before they are sent
  to the remote system or what to change before displaying the character on
  the screen. This function is mostly used when calling Hosts or systems that
  cannot handle 8-bit characters.

  ╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛^n

  ^bC^nomment

   Since it is important to know what the table is used for it is
   strongly advised that you enter the description here.

  ^bR ^nReset

   Remove all changes and clean the board.

  ^bL ^nLoad

   Load a table

  ^bS ^nSave

   Save table

  ^bT ^nIncoming/outgoing

   A table consists of an incoming and an outgoing table. The incoming
   is when you receive something from the other end, then this table
   will be used. The outgoing is when you send something.

  ^bU ^nASCII/Value

   Toggle values instead of character apperance.

  ^bX ^nTranslate a file using this table

   Translate a complete file using the current table. This can be used
   if you have files from other non PC's (Amiga, MAC, etc)

 ^hAlt-Y^n Chat mode

  If you are connected to another Terminate and press Alt-Y, Terminate
  will send '**EMSI_CHTF5D4'+#13 to the other end. This is normally
  used by IEMSI sessions, but a Terminate at the other end will change
  automatically - even when NOT in IEMSI mode. When you press Alt-Y again to
  exit chatmode the string '**EMSI_TCH3C60'+#13 will be sent to the other end
  so both ends exit chat mode.
  Chatmode works just like a terminal emulation so you can use all other
  functions while you are chatting, including starting to up/download.

 ^hAlt-X^n Exit Terminate

  A function you hopefully only will use once a day :-)
  If you are online (Carrier detected) you will be asked what to do: E^h^fx^nit,
  Hangup & exit, or Not exit. You can also turn on a toggle that will ask you
  if you are sure you want to exit Terminate.

 ^hAlt-Z^n Quick reference menu

  Here you can see a short description of all
  functions - and see which functions are ^hOn^n or ^hOff^n.

 ^hAlt-=^n Load a keyboard table

  This key is different on some international
  keyboards. It is the key next to the ^hBACKSPACE^n. Hold down Alt and press
  the = (the key to the left of the backspace).
  Keyboards can be customized in the configuration. You can setup a default
  keyboard for each terminal emulation, but you can also specify a keyboard
  file to be loaded for each phonebook entry.

 ^hCtrl-End^n Break

  Will send a break to the other end. Breaks are rarely used anymore, but
  Terminate will both detect and send breaks. A break is a condition in
  which the data line is filled with zero bits for as long as it takes to
  send one character. Some switchboards will need a break to hangup the line.
  It can also be used to reset the buffers in your modem, if the modem has
  been setup to act this way. If you are not an advanced user you will never
  use this.

 ^hScrollLock^n Doorway mode

  This is a special mode (originated by Marshall Dudley) to
  allow you to send keyboard scan codes, instead of normal ASCII characters.
  The statusline will be removed so the entire screen can be used. If you
  need to use a menu, you must first disable Doorway mode, use the menu and
  then enable Doorway mode again. The reason is that when you press, for
  example, Alt-O then the scancode for Alt-O is sent and the remote site can
  use the Alt-O as if that key had been pressed at the remote site.
  The technical idea behind this Doorway mode is quite simple: If normal
  ASCII character, then send character; else, if special key, send a ASCII 0,
  send scancode.

 ^hPageDown^n Download

  Here you can select which protocol you want to use for the file
  transfer. Download means receive files. A file transfer protocol is a way
  of sending/receiving data between the remote site and ourselves. Zmodem is
  the best to use for normal users where it is available...

 ^hPageUp^n Upload

  When you want to send a file to the remote site, you will have to
  use a file transfer protocol. First you will be placed in the filemanager.
  From here you can select a file or files (if the file-protocol allows batch
  transfers, meaning more than 1 file at the time). Just press ^hRETURN^n on
  the selected file then the transfer will start. If you are using a batch
  protocol, lets say Zmodem, then you can select several files by marking
  the files first. You can select files in both windows.

 ^bAlt-1..Alt-0 Change different toggles^n

  These are toggles that can be set permanently in the configuration.

 ^hAlt-1^n Sound

  Turns beeps/alarms/alerts on/off

 ^hAlt-2^n ANSI music

  Turns ANSI music on/off. If any remote sites have ANSI music it may be
  played. Terminate supports full ANSI music. Pressing Alt-2 while music is
  playing will reset the music buffer.

 ^hAlt-3^n Statusline

  Turn the statusline on/off. You can select in Emulation Setup not to have
  the statusline, but since the statusline gives you important information
  you should not need to turn it off.

 ^hAlt-4^n Usagelog

  The usage log is normally always turned on at startup, so you can later
  see where you have called and which files you have downloaded. But you can
  turn it off here, if there is a reason for not having something logged.

 ^hAlt-5^n Add linefeed

  You can add a linefeed (#10) when Terminate receives a carriage return
  (#13). This is normally not used and should be turned off as the default.

 ^hAlt-6^n IEMSI

  Turn on/off IEMSI logins. IEMSI logins will allow you to fast login to
  systems that support IEMSI (RemoteAccess, SuperBBS, Maximus, EzyCom). You
  can setup options to rescan files, clear screen, etc, before calling the
  system. Look in the Users/IEMSI setup for more information.

 ^hAlt-7^n Ctrl-Status

  Toggle if you want the statusline to show information about CTRL-keys. This
  can be turned off if you think it annoying that it changes all the time
  (eg. if you use the CTRL key a lot in terminal mode.) You can also turn
  this off in the configuration.

 ^hAlt-8^n Alt-Status

  Turn on/off information in statusline about the Alt-F1..Alt-F10 keys -
  although there is normally no reason for turning this off.

 ^hAlt-9^n Ctrl-Shift-Status

  Turns on/off information about the keys Ctrl-Shift-F1..F10. This will show
  you the abbreviated status of your external utilities. There is no reason
  to turn this off.

 ^hAlt-0^n Auto capture

  Auto capture on/off. If you have defined a capture file for the phonebook
  entry you have dialled, the capture file will be opened automatically at
  connect. If you don't want to capture anything you can turn this off.

 ^hAlt-F1^n Status left

  Will toggle the information in the statusline to the left. The startup
  setting and how to change on connect can be setup in configuration. It has
  4 states:

   ^bAlt-Z for help^n                 just Help Information.

   ^bdsrdtr cd sdrd ctsrtsri^n        Modem lights: capital letters mean
                                  that the line is high. If cd is in
                                  big letters:'CD', then carrier detect
                                  on the modem is high (red/on).

   ^bSystem Name^n                    Name of the system called or `Manual' if
                                  connection was not made via the dialer.

   ^bCurrent device^n                 Which device is in use.

 ^hAlt-F2^n Status right

  Will toggle the information in the statusline to the right.
  The startup setting and how to change on connect can be setup in
  configuration. It has 6 states:

   ^bTime^n                           Current local time

   ^bOnline time^n                    Online time in mm:ss format

   ^bCosts^n                          How much money you have used this call

   ^bOnline time^n                    Online time in hh:mm format

   ^bSecondary currency^n             Show costs in secondary currency

   ^bCursor position^n                Show x,y position of cursor on screen

 ^hAlt-F3^n Pause function

  Pause. Many systems will log you off if you don't do anything for 2-3
  minutes. This function will allow you to send a predefined character every
  x seconds, to make the system at the other end think you are active. The
  default is to send a RETURN (ASCII 13) every 30 seconds. This is useful if
  the doorbell rings and you have just connected to a very busy system, which
  would take hours to get back onto, if you didn't have Terminate.

 ^hAlt-F4^n IEMSI information

  Will show you the same information as you see just right after an IEMSI
  connection. It will tell you exactly which BBS system and version number
  the remote is running. Also the system name, sysop name, location and what
  the local time is at the remote location.

 ^hAlt-F5^n File tagger

  This function will identify possible filenames anywhere on the
  screen. You can tag the files you want to download so you don't need to
  write them down on paper. You can also use the scrollback buffer ^hAlt-B^n
  and tag files from there.

 ^hAlt-F6^n Tagmenu

  When you have tagged some files, and selected a protocol at the
  remote site, then you will normally be asked which files to download.
  The tagmenu will have stored all the files you want and will then send the
  filenames, so you will not have to do this manually. The tagmenu has many,
  many more functions such as tagging from file lists.

 ^hAlt-F7^n Point system

  The point system is a system were you can send/get mail or
  files. It can connect to any other program using a mailer that has EMSI.
  At the present time: Frontdoor, d'Bridge, Binkley, Portal of Power etc.
  Note that you will not actually get online to the system, but only connect
  to the remote mail system. From here you can ^hrequest^n files from
  that system, without even getting online. You can also write a netmail
  message directly to sysops. But please, refer to the point manual for
  more.

 ^hAlt-F8^n Hostmode

  For more information about the hostmode, see the section about hostmode
  or enter hostmode and press F1.

 ^hAlt-F9^n History strings

  Here you can edit or send old strings to the modem. Every time you edit
  a string anywhere in Terminate, the last string will be saved and you can
  recall old strings in an input field, by pressing Cursor Up/Down.
  RETURN will edit the strings, and SPACE will send the string to the modem.
  Here also the description for files is saved when uploading and a FILES.BBS
  /DESCRIPT.ION file exists. You can also save and load the last 16 history
  strings. If you have a FILES.BBS/DESCRIPT.ION file in the same directory as
  the files, Terminate can find the description and import from the line
  where the description for the file is found and the subsequent 16 lines
  (Only FILES.BBS and in case of several description lines). When pressing
  'I', the filemanager will be called, just find the file and press
  'RETURN' with the cursor positioned above the filename.

 ^hAlt-F10^n CD Audio player

  If you have an audio CD-ROM, and have installed MSCDEX
  (Microsoft CD Extension). Then you will be able to play normal music CD's.
  You can view the start and length of every track on the CD.

 ^hAlt-F11^n External editor

  Calls the external editor. This could be Q.EXE (Qedit) or whatever editor
  you might like to use.


 ^hAlt-F12^n Fax manager.

  See the documentation for the fax manager.

 ^hNETWORK^n

  To use Terminate on a network drive you must set the file to be shareable.
  With Novell you can use the FLAG command.  ^hFLAG TERMINAT.EXE srw^n, then
  the file will be set to shareable.
  On networks that do not support sharing directly (eg Lantastic), you
  must load SHARE.EXE on the server ONLY. A lot of people think they must
  load SHARE.EXE on the work stations also. But this is a mistake!!!!
  SHARE.EXE should only be loaded on machines that allow others to access the
  hard disk. So if you have a workstation that only accesses the server, you
  should NEVER waste memory on loading SHARE.EXE. Unfortunately a lot of
  programmers have misunderstood this idea and demand that SHARE is present.

  The only problems that occur when running Terminate from several stations
  at one time is that you cannot write to the same logfile and use the same
  swapfile. This can be helped by either turning the logfile off or setting
  an environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT like this:

  SET NET=1

  Then define TERMINA%NET%.LOG. When opening the logfile TERMINA1.LOG
  will be used. If SET NET=2 then TERMINA2.LOG etc. will be used.
  Note that Terminate will always replace environment variables with the
  correct values. The same goes for the swapfile.

  You can also use different configuration files using this system.

  TERMINAT /C:TERMINA%NET%.CFG

  Then TERMINA1.CFG will be used for this station, if SET NET=2 then
  TERMINA2.CFG will be used. If you are a network administrator then I bet
  you have had these problems with configuration files many times before,
  but this should solve any problems that you might get.

 ^hTerminate Thesaurus^n

  The word Terminate does in our case mean to come to an end of a dataline,
  but in other cases the word can have different meanings:

  abort, bring or come to an end, cease, close, complete, conclude, cut off,
  discontinue, end, expire, finish, issue, lapse, put an end to, result,
  run out, stop, wind up.
