The Window Borders
In Telemate the window borders are mouse sensitive. Click the main
mouse key on the window edges makes things happen!
Top Border : Move window
Top-Left corner : Close window
Top-Right corner : Zoom window
Bottom-Right corner : Resize window
Bottom Border: Scroll horizontally
Right Border: Scroll vertically
The Scroll Bar
When the scroll bar option is turned on the active window (the one
most recently opened) will have an enlarged right side and bottom
borders . These borders are the window's scroll bars.
To scroll vertically with the mouse, point at "scroll box" (the dark
box on right side scroll bar) and while holding down the left mouse
button drag it to a position in the scroll bar that corresponds to
the general location in the file to which you wish to go. For example
if you wish to go to a point approximately halfway through your file,
drag the dark box halfway to the bottom of the scroll bar and
release. The same process can be used to scroll horizontally in a
file using the dark box on the bottom scroll bar.
To scroll one line or one character at a time, click on the arrows at
either end of the scroll bars. To scroll one page at a time, click on
the region between the scroll box and the arrows at end of the scroll
bar.

Pasting and Quoting
Telemate allows you to mark and copy text while in the Edit, View and
Back windows. Marked text is copied to a clip buffer or clipboard.
Once the text is copied to the clip buffer the terminal window can
handle it in either of two ways:
Pasting [Alt P]
Pasting text sends the marked text to the remote system.
Quoting [Alt Q]
[Alt Q] functions much the same as [Alt P]. [Alt Q] is designed for
quoting text into BBS message areas and three characters " > " will
be added to each line. Mark the text as above and Copy to the clip
buffer. To insert into a BBS message position the cursor where you
want the text to go and hit [Alt Q].

by marking [F10] the text and quote [Alt Q] it to the remote system.
Write [Alt A]
Telemate's Write function allows you to mark text and then write or
append the marked block of text to a file. After you have marked your
text and selected this function the File Dialog will appear asking
you for the name of the file. Type in the correct DOS file and path
name, press [Enter] and the marked text will be written to the
designated file.
Macro
-----
In addition to accepting standard alpha-numeric text, Telemate also
uses certain symbols which when passed through the phone lines
perform specific functions. For example, the character "^M" in a
macro translates as [Enter] on the other end. Below is a table of
symbols you can incorporate in your macros:
Symbol ASCII Symbol Function
------ -------- ------ -----------------
^@ Null ~ Pause 0.5 second
^A Ctrl A ^# Drop DTR
... ^% Send break signal
^M Carriage Return ^$ Send memo
^J Line feed ^& Send password
... ... ^* Send hang up string
^Z Ctrl Z ^( Send init string
^[ Esc ^) Send answer string
^^ ^ ^= Execute command
^~ ~ ^\ Run script file
For example, if your macro includes the symbol '^[' Telemate will
send the [Esc] key sequence through the phone line to the remote
system.
If the symbol '^#' is included in the modem hangup string,
Telemate will drop the DTR to hang up. And the macro "^\HOST" will
run the script file HOST.SCR in the script directory.
The symbol '^=' will execute the followed command.
Example Description
------- ----------------------------------------
^=COPY bring you to the command line dialog and
(without '^M') prompt you for more information
^=DIR *.SCR^M shell to DOS and display all the *.SCR
(with '^M') files, the '^M' enforce the execution of
the command
^=MLINK-D ^=^M works exactly the same as an external
(with another '^=' protocol by passing baud rate and
and '^M') COM port information to the batch file
MLINK-D.BAT
^=MLINK-U ^= bring you to the command line dialog and
(with another '^=') prompt you for the filename
Options
-------
The Options Menu allows you to setup Telemate to work the way you
want it to. When you select an area to setup you will see one of
of Options Dialog.
There are 3 types of choices you will face in the Options Dialog
area. Pressing the [Tab], [Shift Tab] or using the Arrow keys moves
you from choice to choice.
Circular Buttons: Circular buttons refer to black dots inside the
parenthesis ( ) that you see in the Mouse selection box. Press
[Spacebar] and the button will jump from box to box and only one
option in each group can be selected.
Check Boxes: Some options are simple yes or no type choices. These
appear as a pair of brackets: [ ]. Press the [Spacebar] and an X
appears in the brackets: [X] which means "yes, I want this feature
turned on". An empty bracket means "No."
Text Boxes: There are some options which require you to type in your
choice. For example to change the Edit window's margin, tab to that
choice and type in the number you desire to use as the right margin.
Moreover, you can Copy [Alt C] the content of the text boxes to the
clipboard or Paste [Alt P] content of the clipboard to the text boxes.
Pressing the [Esc] key will cancel the dialog and all options will be
remain unchanged.
