Functions in earlier versions:
------------------------------
Mail Snatcher Connect to Home BBS via NET/ROM nodes
---------------------------------------------------
The Mail Snatcher will now be able to collect mails from your
Home BBS via NET/ROM nodes.
3 things must be setup correct in the Mailbox Setup-menu.
E.g.: Your Home BBS is OZ6BBS and this BBS you will connect via
the node OZ3PAC-2. OZ3PAC-2 have to connect OZ6BBS via
port 2.
BBS Mail Beacon Call: OZ6BBS
Enter the Call that your Home BBS sends
in its Mail Beacon.
E.g.:
OZ6BBS>MAIL
Mail for: OZ0XXX OZ0YYY ...... ......
Mail Snatcher: ON - All Calls
or
ON - Home BBS only
The Mail Snatcher will now react, when it
see your call in a Mail-beacon from your
Home BBS.
The Mail Snatcher can be setup in 4 ways:
OFF
No mails will be collected.
ON - All Calls
Mails will be collected from all calls -
inclusive your Home BBS.
ON - Exclusive Home BBS
Mails will be collected from all call -
exclusive your Home BBS.
Choose this setup if you are getting normal
Forward from your Home BBS.
ON - Home BBS only
Mails will be collected only from your
Home BBS.
Forward to BBS Call: OZ3PAC-2,C 2 OZ6BBS
When the Mail Snatcher connects your Home
BBS, it will choose this route.
First a connect to the node OZ3PAC-3
Then a connect to OZ6BBS via port 2 on the
node.
Start a Forward-session when already Connected:
-----------------------------------------------
Now you can start a Forward-session if you already are connected
to your BBS. Just enter your own internal mailbox (ALT M) and
use the F-command.
Comments in *.TNC files
-----------------------
It is now possible to put comments in your *.TNC-files.
CONFIG1.TNC, START1.TNC, STOP1.TNC ........ and so on.
To do this, put a ';' in front of the line.
Example - START1.TNC:
;Start-file for TNC2c Modem
;
;Disable Modem Mailbox
;PMS OFF
;
;Set correct Call
MYcall OZ0XXX
;
;Set Modem Mailbox Call
MYPcall OZ0XXX-8
;
;Show all received packets
Monitor ON
;
;End of Start-file
New commands in the internal mailbox:
-------------------------------------
A Abort current command ..... (List and Read)
KA Kill all mails in the mailbox (TAKE CARE !)
KB Kill all bulletins.
KP Kill all personale mails.
KAF Kill all forwarded mails.
KBF Kill all forwarded bulletins.
KPF Kill all forwarded personale mails.
L> Call List to Call
L< Call List from Call
LS String List all mails containing the String.
Forward / Reverse Forward via NET/ROM nodes
-------------------------------------------
Now you have the possibility to do a Forward-session via
NET/ROM-nodes. PTM is able to connect your BBS through several
nodes.
Shown are some examples for a correct setup.
The Setup-Menu - Mailbox - Forward to BBS Call:
OZ3PAC-2,BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2.
Then connect to the BBS.
C OZ3PAC-2,BBS You are allowed to write "C "
in front of the first Call, but
you don't have to.
OZ3PAC-2,C 2 OZ6BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2.
Then connect to OZ6BBS via
Port 2
OZ3PAC-2 VIA OZ1XXX,C 2 OZ6BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2 via
OZ1XXX.
Then connect to OZ6BBS via
Port 2
OZ3PAC-2,C STVNS2,C NORDL2,BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2.
Then connect to STVNS2.
Then connect to NORDL2.
Finally connect the BBS.
Follow these roules:
You are allowed to write "C " in front of the first Call, but
you don't have to.
You have to write "C " in front of the subsequent Calls.
As shown in 3 of the examples, the last connect is to "BBS".
Here is not used "C " in the front - this is a node-command for
connecting the BBS. Some NET/ROM-nodes have a direct link to the
BBS. This is just an other way to connect the BBS.
Comma "," is used to separate the connects.
Space " " is not allowed in front of or next to the comma.
If you use "F Call" - Forward to Call - in the internal Mailbox,
the same rules are valid.
Auto YAPP via NET/ROM nodes
---------------------------
The same rules are valid for the Auto YAPP (ALT Y).
E.g.
*** Auto YAPP Connect Call: OZ3PAC-2,C 2 OZ6BBS
Route Buffer and NET/ROM nodes
------------------------------
The same rules are valid in the Route-Buffer.
Use Ctrl F6 to enter the route in the buffer.
Use F6 0-9 to connect, using this route.
YAPP Packet Delay / YAPP Packets before Delay:
----------------------------------------------
0 to 25 seconds or Auto-detect
Select 0 for no delay.
Select 1 - 25 for 1 to 25 seconds delay.
Select AUTO and PTM will select a delay for you depending of
the trafik on the frequense. Set your modem with MONITOR = ON
and monitor at least 1 minutes before connect. The program
will append a delay of 1 sec. for every 500 char. per minute.
You can follow the counter in the status-window - 1234 CPM -
This delay will be added after x-count of YAPP packets set by
"YAPP Packets before Delay" - This can be set from 1 to 8.
Try to setup the program for AUTO-delay and 2 to 4 YAPP-packets.
YAPP Packet Delay Default: AUTO
YAPP Packets before Delay Default: 1
Re-init of the Modem:
---------------------
Make 1 or 2 files called REINIT1.TNC and REINIT2.TNC
This file will be send to your Modem at Disconnect, if the
X-command had been used in the mailbox.
Can be used to reset/restart or change any parameter in the
modem. E.g.: set the modem from 2400 Baud back to 1200 Baud.
Use any editor to make the files in the PTM-dir.
When starting the PTM without a Modem
-------------------------------------
It is now possible to start PTM without a modem.
You can select another comport, run the program in a demo-mode
or exit to DOS.
Converting old Mails
--------------------
If you have old mails from PTM version 5.17 or older in your
MAIL-dir, you must convert all the MSG-files.
To do this: COPY the file CONVMAIL.EXE into your MAIL-dir and run
the file CONVMAIL in this catalog - BUT ONLY 1 TIME !
DELETE this file when done !
Generating PTMSPEAK.BEL - .LUX - .ÖST
-------------------------------------
The file DO_SPEAK.BAT generates 3 PTMSPEAK-files.
These files are just copies of the Dutch, German and French
which are used for Belgium, Luxembourg and Öesterreich.
PTMSPEAK.BEL, PTMSPEAK.LUX and PTMSPEAK.ÖST
New command in the internal mailbox
-----------------------------------
F Call Forward to Call. Works like the F-command - you can choose to
forward to others than your BBS.
Reverse Forward
---------------
The programmet can now do a Reverse Forward.
You must configure the program in the setup-menu - Mailbox.
If you use to forward mails to your BBS, you will now be able
to get mails back in the same connect.
This function also works with other PTM-programs version 5.18
or higher.
When the program has send your mails to the BBS, the program
will send 'F>' to ask for mail to you.
If the BBS has been setup for forward to you, the BBS will send
mails to you.
You must ask the SYSOP to get this option.
When the BBS has send all mails to you, it will send '*** done'.
If you are not setup for forward, the BBS just send '*** done',
even if there are mails to you.
Timestamp and hierarchical address in your mails
------------------------------------------------
Your mails will now get a timestamp and a hierarchical address.
Also the mails will get a messagenumber and a BID-number.
This line would look like this:
R.921224/0830Z @:OZ4ZK.OZ6BBS.KBH.SJL.DNK.EU PTM528 #:2456 B:02456_OZ4ZK
'R:921224/0830Z @:' generated by the program.
The date/time in Zulu (GMT).
To get the Zulu-timestamp, you must set the difference between
local time and GMT in the setup-menu.
East from GMT = - (minus)
West from GMT = + (plus)
CET-time to GMT-time = -1
Use the 'SPACE'-key to toggle to correctly settings in the setup-
menu.
The hierarcical address you also have to enter in the setup-menu.
Take care to enter this correctly.
Check your local BBS for its address. This will be a part of
yours address.
Start with your Call and a '.' and add the BBS address.
E.g.: OZ4ZK.OZ6BBS.KBH.SJL.DNK.EU
The program will generate the rest of the line
' PTM528 #:2456 B:02456_OZ4ZK'
Mailbox Mode:
-------------
Select 'PMS' for Private Mailbox
or 'BBS' for really BBS-Mailbox, but only if you are menber of
the BBS-Forward system.
The Hierachical Address is generated in two ways starting with
'R.' or 'R:' - The first one is normal used for Private Mailbox.
The second is ONLY for BBS use.
Default: PMS

------------------------
S NAME = SP CALL @ BBS
This function will searchs in the file NAMECALL.LOG
placed in the LOG-dir for a match. If the Name
is found the 'SP Call @ BBS' will be returned and
placed on the command-line. This is an easy way
to 'remember' a long string.
E.g.:
-----------------------------------------------
NAMECALL.LOG in LOG-dir.

-------------
Now PTM has now build in the new Extended Yapp format (YappC).
This format works against FBB 5.14b and TPK v 1.65a
There is an error in FBB 5.14b, so if you want to do a Resume
from this version of FBB, then select the new format (YappC).
If you do a Yapp-Receive or Yapp-Resume with an other PTM-pro
gram, check the version. Use the old Yapp-format if the other
PTM-program is older than version 5.10. Else you can choose
both formats (Yapp or YappC)
Here is the syntax:
Press Alt Y (Yapp transfer)
Press R or U (Receive or resUme)

Multi-language version of PTM.
------------------------------
News in this version:
French text - PTMSPEAK.FRA
German text - PTMSPEAK.DEU
Russian text - PTMSPEAK.RUS (not complete)
You can select many language in this version.
When a station connects you, PTM will change to
the correct language. If a LA-station connects
you, PTM will select Norwegian. The remote station
is able to change language using the LA-command
E.g.: LA ITA change to Italian.
This will be saved in the file LANGUAGE.LOG in the LOG-dir.
At the next Connect from the same user, PTM will still talk
Italian.
When startin this version the default language will be English.
The file PTMSPEAK.ENG must always be in the PTM-dir.
To start up in Italian type "PTM ITA", for French, type "PTM FRA".
Setup language in the setup-menu.
It is now possible for PTM to talk different language.
At the moment PTM is able to talk Danish, Swedish, Norwegian,
English, Italian, Spanish, French, German and Russian.
To display the Russian text you have to run the file EGAGARUS
before starting PTM. EGAGARUS is a Cyrillic font for EGA and VGA-
displays. To toggle between Latin and Cyrillic characters use
the Ctrl + Home keys.
You can use the Cyrillic characters in Terminal Mode and in the
Mailbox for writing Subject and Text in a mail.
You can select Russian or Homophonic Keyboard Layout in the
Setup-Menu.

Some rules before editing a PTMSPEAK.* file:
Do not change or delete the first line.
Do not change or delete the line-numbers and the ; (Semicolon)
If you need a 'space' in the end of a line,
then use _ (Underscore) instead. Not all editors will accept and
save an ordinary space in the end of a line.
Take care of the line length. For some of the text-strings there
are limit of space.
The text-file MUST NOT exceed 31Kb. (version 5.00 and 5.01 27Kb)
If you don't find your language in the setup-menu, edit a file
with the name PTMSPEAK.XXX or .YYY
If you do a good translation in your language, I would be glad if
you could send me a copy.
If you find any errors in the translated files, then edit the
files yourself and send me a note.
Toggle funktions:
Ctrl Home: Toggle between Latin/Cyrillic characters
You must run EGAGARUS.EXE before running PTM.EXE
Ctrl Page Up: Toggle Open Buffer at Connect on/off.
Ctrl Page Down: Toggle Close Buffer at Disconnect on/off.
Set defaults in the setup-menu for these 2 options.
TAB will be converted to 8 spaces in the Mailbox.
New commands in the internal mailbox:
F = Quit Mailbox and Forward at ones.
Q or ESC = Quit Mailbox - Forward at full hours.
New command in the internal and external mailbox:
LL # = List the Last 1 to 999 messages
MAILBOX:
The Mailbox has been revised.
The mail messages are now numbered serially and will be shown
in a List with the highest number first.
Type and Status on all types of mail (TS) - Type can be P (Priva-
te) or B (Bulletin). Status can be N (Not read), Y (Read),
$ (Not Forwarded) or F (Forwarded).
The file name of a mail message would look like this: 000123PN.MSG
or 000456B$.MSG
When you Kill a mail message it will still be on the disk, but now
with the extension .$SG
You must perform the DELETE *.$SG from your DOS-prompt if you
want to remove the killed mail messages for good.
PTM is now able to Forward to your HomeBBS.
In the SETUP-Menu - Mailbox - you must tell PTM to Forward,
and which Port to use. Also tell PTM the call of your HomeBBS.
When you want PTM to Forward a mail message enter the Mailbox
and write SP CALL @ BBS or SP CALL@BBS (SB will also work).
CALL is the callsign of the receiver. BBS is the HomeBBS of the
receiver, NOT your own HomeBBS.
Then proceed with the usual stuff: Subject and Text.
Also see the SB and SP commands.
When you leave the Mailbox with the F-key, PTM will try to
connect to your HomeBBS and Forward the mail message at ones.
If you leave the Mailbox with the Q or ESC key, the Forward will
take place at full hours.
After achieving the Connect, PTM will send [PTM-5.00-M$]
to tell the BBS, that you want to Forward.
The BBS will send a new prompt: >
PTM sends a header: SP OZ0XY @ OZ0BBS < OZ0XYZ $00024_OZ0XYZ
to BBS from BID
The BBS will answer OK, and PTM will send your mail message.
At the end of the mail PTM will send /EX
and the BBS answers with another prompt: >
This sequence will be repeated until all the messages have been
sent.
PTM will then Disconnect.
PTM will try to Forward every hour if there is any mail messages.
A remote station can send a mail message to be Forwarded through
your Mailbox.
The syntax is the same: SP CALL @ BBS
PTM is also able to receive a Forwarded mail message from your
local BBS or from other PTM-users. Ask your local BBS-Sysop,
to set you up for this feature.
When PTM receives a special prompt - [Prg-Ver-$] - PTM will
make ready for a forward-session.
PTM will send a single prompt: > and wait for the header.
The BBS will send the header: SP CALL @ CALL < CALL $BID
and PTM will answer back, OK or NO.
PTM will check the BID, if BID Check in the Setup-menu is ON.
The BBS sends subject and text and finishes with /EX
When the BBS has sent all mail messages, it will end up with: F>
PTM is not able to make a Reverse-Forward but will send
a Disconnect at this point.
There is no guarantee that this feature will work with all
types of BBS - I have tested this feature against the FBB-BBS.
NEW Commands in the Remote and the Internal Mailbox:
LN - List New - List all new mail messages for you.
RN - Read New - Read all new mail messages for you.
NEW Toggle function - Shift F3 - Toggle PTM Connect-text ON/OFF
If set to OFF, PTM will not send all the connect-texts:
[PTM 5.00] - *** Hello Name - *** Commands: //B, //H ......
and WELCOME.DAT will not be sent.
Default at startup: ON
Setup-menu - Mailbox - BID Check: Set this option to ON or OFF.
Delete the oldest entries in the file BIDCHECK.PTM ones in a
while. Don't keep more than the latest 100 entries.
*** Improved Mail Snatching with a better Prompt-recognition. ***
Shift F10 = Mail Snatching On/Off - Toggle function.
Automatic Mail Collect.
The function works like this:
When PTM traces a mail-beacon with your callsign in it
the following message will be displayed:
"*** Wait for the next n min. - Mail Snatching in progress"
A flashing message will also appear in the Mail-window:
" WAIT ".
PTM will count down n minutes (n = 1 to 4), then
attempt to connect the station sending the mail-beacon.
If PTM succeeds in connecting, it will wait for the first
prompt: >
Then PTM sends "RM" (Read Mine).
PTM will also open a mail file to store the message in.
When PTM has collected the message and sees the next prompt,
it will close the file and send "KM" (Kill Mine)
Finally, on the 3th prompt, PTM sends "B" (Bye)
and, hopefully, the program will disconnect.
The Mail-window will then show a flashing message: "MAIL"
All messages collected in this manner will be given
the subject text: *** SNATCHED ***
PTM will recognize the word MAIL and the default word
POST (Alternative Mail Trace Word). As an option,
you can select another trace word, e.g. TELEX, LETTER,
or MESSAGE.
Set your modem-parameter: Monitor = ON
Set PTM-parameter: Mail Snatching = ON
Shift F9 = Display Trace Buffer.
This function works like an MHeard-buffer, but will detect
the callsign of a station sending a packet with your
callsign in it. It will display the time of the frame and if
the frame was a Mail-beacon or a File-beacon.
PTM will recognize the words MAIL, FILE and the default
word POST (Alternative Mail Trace Word).
Set your modem-parameter: Monitor = ON.
Example:
*** OZ0ZK was traced from:
OZ0BBS 02-Nov-91 23.17.20 Mail-beacon ; mail for you at OZ0BBS
OZ0PU 02-Nov-91 22.37.45 File-beacon ; file for you at OZ0PU
OZ0PAC 02-Nov-91 17.22.30 ; saw your callsign from OZ0PAC
Shift F8 = Clear Mail Snatching.
*****************************************************************************
How to Register your PTM
When starting this version you will se a flashing text
asking you to register the program.
Do not despair......
Instead, do one of the following things:
1: Write me a packet-message and I will send you your personal
serial-number.
2: Write me a letter and enclose 1 IRC.
I will return you your own serial-number.
3: Phone me between 17.00 and 20.00 CET, and you will get
your serial-number at once. Phone: (+45)42646962.
State your CALL-SIGN, Name and Address, Modem, and type of PC.
If you do not register your copy at once the only consequence
is that PTM will flash a reminder for 30 sec's before starting
up. There are no others limitations in the program.
I have worked on PTM for the last 2 years, spending more
than 500 night hours to improve the program. No wonder
I am curious as to where my PTM is running! I hope you will
take the time to tell me. Your serial-number will work with
all new versions.

*****************************************************************************
IMPORTANT:
When doing a connect, the PTM ver.4.50 and later will check if the
Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal on Pin 8 of your modem's RS-232
interface is present or not.
Check you Packet Modem Manual for further details.
Hopefully, your modem supports this function!
************************************************************************
PK-88 Notes:
Data Carrier Detect (DCD Pin 8) Jumper JP3
Jumper post JP3, located in front of J1, between integrated circuits
U4 and U5, is factory set so that DCD Pin 8 is permanently pulled
high, so you have to move the JP3 jumper plug to the opposite position,
if not done yet.
See the PK-88 schematic diagram in the Appendices section for further
details on JP3.
************************************************************************
PK-232 Notes:
Set your modemparameter: DCDCONN = ON
************************************************************************
Remote Control on a Serial Port:
Mailbox Command: XC = Remote Control on a serial port.
Now it is possible to remote control a serial COM port.
When installing PTM, set up the primary COM port for your Packet-Modem
and the secondary COM-port for your remote line. It should be possible
to connect any RS232 device to this port, for instance another TNC modem,
a secondary PC, or any other device with an RS232 interface.
To Exit the remote-function send a Ctrl-Z.
You can determine if this function needs SYSOP-Status, when setting up
the program.
************************************************************************
YAPP Resume:
Now you can Resume a YAPP-transfer. If you get a Time-out, a Disconnect,
or you cancel a Transfer, you will be prompted to Delete or Save the
already received file if you have received at least 3 blocks.
PTM will always delete the 2 last blocks.
If you save it you can retrieve the rest of the file now or later.
Just ask for the file again: YD Filename
PTM will send an off-set to the other part, and the transfer will start
from there.
This function works with the newest FBB-BBSs and between two PTMs
if the version is 4.46 or higher.
************************************************************************
If you have 2 modems you can add these files to change parameter
when Connected and Disconnected:
When Modem 1 is Connected, new parameters are sent to Modem 2
- filename BUSY2.TNC
When Modem 1 is Disconnected, new parameters are sent to Modem 2
- filename NOTBUSY2.TNC
When Modem 2 is Connected, new parameters are sent to Modem 1.
- filename BUSY1.TNC
When Modem 2 is Disconnected, new parameters are sent to Modem 1
- filename NOTBUSY1.TNC
Use the files to change CText, Auto-Disconnect on/off
The files are like START.TNC and STOP.TNC
************************************************************************
HARDWARE REMOTE-CONTROL FUNCTIONS:
Remote-commands FH, FS of F# are no longer valid.
New Commands:
XH - Help on Remote Functions.
The File FHELP.DAT will be sent.
Create this file yourself!
XS - Shows Status on Remote Functions.
The following status-lines are read on the port:
ERROR, SELECT, PAPER OUT and BUSY.
If ERROR is Low, STATUS1L.DAT will be sent.
If ERROR is High, STATUS1H.DAT will be sent.
If SELECT is Low, STATUS2L.DAT will be sent.
If SELECT is High, STATUS2H.DAT will be sent.
If PAPER OUT is Low, STATUS3L.DAT will be sent.
If PAPER OUT is High, STATUS3H.DAT will be sent.
If BUSY is Low, STATUS4L.DAT will be sent.
If BUSY is High, STATUS4H.DAT will be sent.
Write these files yourself!
X## or X### - Remote Functions.
X01 to XFF HEX - remember: always 2 digits.
X001 to X255 DECIMALT - remember: always 3 digits.
Any combination of an X-value is allowed, to activate
more than one function at a time.
If you use the command X01 or X001 there will be a
pulse on Data Bit 0 on LPT1 or LPT2.
If you have a printer on LPT1 then use LPT2 for
Remote Control. (LPT1 378H, LPT2 278H)
X02 or X002 will activate a pulse on Data Bit 1.
X03 or X003 will activate a pulse on Data Bit 0 and
Data Bit 1.
X04 or X004 will activate a pulse on Data Bit 2.
X05 or X005 will activate a pulse on Data Bit 0 and
Data Bit 2.
- and so on.......
Use these Remote Functions to control frequency change,
Power Amp. on/off, Antenna-shift, rotor and/or to
activate your coffee machine.
Use Buffers on you Printer-Port!
You can choose if SYSOP-Status must be on, to activate
Data Bit 5, 6 and 7.
At Disconnect, there will always be a pulse on Data
Bit 0. Use this to reset any circuit.
X01 and X001 will send the file F0.DAT
X02 and X002 will send the file F1.DAT
X04 and X004 will send the file F2.DAT
X08 and X008 will send the file F3.DAT
X10 and X016 will send the file F4.DAT
X20 and X032 will send the file F5.DAT
X40 and X064 will send the file F6.DAT
X80 and X128 will send the file F7.DAT
Make these files yourself!
Ctrl C in the F#.DAT files enables you to give Modem Commands
in the F#.DAT files. Don't forget to place it after the text to
be sent. It will add an extra delay (10 sec.) after the
text is transmitted and before the modem will enter the Command Mode.
A delay (10 sec.) will always be added when the whole file has been sent.
e.g.: F5.DAT
*** Switch to 1200 Baud, at Your End ! ; Sends this text to Connected Station
Ctrl C (char. 03H) ; Delay 10 sec. and
; Set Modem in Command Mode
MODE VP 1200 ; Modem Command
CONV ; Go Back to Converse Mode
; Delay 10 sec. (always).
e.g.: F6.DAT
*** Switch to 2400 Baud, at Your End ! ; Sends this text to Connected Station
Ctrl C (char. 03H) ; Delay 10 sec. and
; Set Modem in Command Mode
MODE VP 2400 ; Modem Command
CONV ; Go Back to Converse Mode
; Delay 10 sec. (always).

PAPER OUT - Pin 12 (STATUS3L.DAT and STATUS3H.DAT)
BUSY - Pin 11 (STATUS4L.DAT and STATUS4H.DAT)
INIT - Pin 16 Use this line with the PULSE-
Function.
GROUND - Pin 18 til 25
PULSE - Pulse function works like this:
When you are Disconnected, there will be a pulse
in the range from 1 to 9 seconds on the INIT-
line on LPT1 or LPT2. Use this to control 2 HAMs,
DUAL-Bander HAM, or to scan 2 frequencies.
In this way you need only 1 Modem.
At Connect, the pulse on this line will stop.
Simple circuit for Remote-Control:
X01 or X001 (D0) - Resets the Flip-Flop at Disconnect.
X02 or X002 (D1) - Resets the Flip-Flop on the Remote-Control.
X04 or X004 (D2) - Sets the Flip-Flop on the Remote-Control.
XS - Reads status on the Flip-Flop via the ERROR-signal.

be sent to modem.
Software Setup:
The program detects whether you have a color or monochrome monitor.
The first time you start the program you have to configure it.
Thereafter, when you start PTM it will use your parameters.
The following text will be shown:
Cannot open parameter-file
You have to configure the program before using it!
Do you want to do this? [Y/N]:
If you answer 'N', PTM will terminate and return to DOS.
If you answer 'Y', you will get a new screen-picture.
Here's how to use the screen that now pops up:
To move up and down in the left window, use the cursor up and down keys.
or enter the highlighted char.
The text in the right window will change.
To get to the right window, use the TAB-key.
To move up and down in the right window, use the cursor up and down keys.

Forward via NET/ROM nodes
-------------------------
Now you have the possibility to do a Forward-session via
NET/ROM-nodes. PTM is able to connect your BBS through several nodes.
Shown are some examples for a correct setup.
OZ3PAC-2,BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2.
Then connect to the BBS.
C OZ3PAC-2,BBS You are allowed to write "C "
in front of the first Call, but
you don't have to.
OZ3PAC-2,C 2 OZ6BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2.
Then connect to OZ6BBS via Port 2
OZ3PAC-2 VIA OZ1XXX,C 2 OZ6BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2 via OZ1XXX.
Then connect to OZ6BBS via Port 2
OZ3PAC-2,C STVNS2,C NORDL2,BBS First connect to OZ3PAC-2.
Then connect to STVNS2.
Then connect to NORDL2.
Finally connect the BBS.
Follow these roules:
You are allowed to write "C " in front of the first Call, but
you don't have to.
You have to write "C " in front of the subsequent Calls.
As shown in 3 of the examples, the last connect is to "BBS".
Here is not used "C " in the front - this is a node-command for
connecting the BBS. Some NET/ROM-nodes have a direct link to the
BBS. This is just an other way to connect the BBS.
Comma "," is used to separate the connects.
Space " " is not allowed in front of or next to the comma.
If you use "F Call" - Forward to Call - in the internal Mailbox,
the same rules are valid.

the message
"*** Wait for the next n min. - Mail Snatching in progress"
PTM will also flash the word "WAIT" in the mail-window.
PTM will count down n minutes (n = 1 to 4) then attempt to
connect the station which sent the mail-beacon.
If PTM gets connected it will wait for the first prompt: >
Then PTM sends the text: RM (Read Mine)
PTM will also open a mail file to store the message in.
When PTM has collected the message and sees the next prompt
it will close the file and send the text: KM (Kill Mine)
Finally, on the 3rd prompt, PTM sends a "B" (Bye)
and hopefully, the program will disconnect.
The Mail-window will then flash with "MAIL".
All messages collected in this manner will be given the subject-
text: *** SNATCHED ***
Set your modem-parameter: Monitor = ON
Set PTM-parameter: Mail Snatching = ON

*****************************************************************************
When somebody is connected to you:
First-time users must use the N command (N Name) in the mailbox before
seeing the mailbox command line.
The next time you are called, PTM will say "*** Hallo Name".
The calling station will see a Welcome text. You have to design your own text
in a file called WELCOME.DAT. A kind of an extended CTEXT.
PTM then sends its own connect-text.
PTM tells the calling station if there is any mail or file on hand.
A help text for the commands can be displayed.
Type '//H' for Help on an empty line:
//B PTM sends BYE.DAT and disconnects the calling station.
//C Chat, to page the SYSOP. Sounds a bell 6 times within a minute.
SYSOP. can switch the bell off and answer the the calling station.
If not, PTM will direct the calling station into the mailbox.
//CR Toggle Crypto-mode on/off. Requires a correct password list at both
ends. See how to do this with the CF1-command.
When you send this command to the other party, he will send this
string back to you: //#0123 (or an other random number). This is to
show that the command was received and the password-number 0123 will
be used. This password will be found in your list and be used
as a part of the crypto-key.
All traffic handling between you and the other party cannot
be read by anyone else. You can send/receive/list mail
in this mode.
Do not perform a binary file-transfer in this mode. Still a problem!
If you send //CR again, the other party will send //#0000 and you
will be back in normal mode. This function will be turned off when
//B is used to disconnect.
//H Display a helptext.
//I Send Info from SYSOP (INFO.DAT).
//M Entering the Mailbox.

to the mailbox.
