For Paths that do not start with a \ or a drive:\, (C:\) is assumed always
to be within the Terminate home path. So DOWNLOAD\ would actually be:
C:\TERMINAT\DOWNLOAD\, so you will save a little typing:

╘════════════════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════╛^n
Terminate allows you to have 3 different download directories, which can be
set for each phonebook entry, so if you call systems with one kind of file,
lets say OS/2 files, you would surely not want them to get mixed up with
your normal DOS files. The wildcard system in Terminate allows you to
specify any DOS wildcard (*,?) and the directory where to save the files.
This will also work when using the point system.
*MAIL Is a wildcard for mailpackages MO#, TU#, WE#, TH#, FR#, SA#, SU#
where the # is a number from 0-9.
*ARCHIVE Is a wildcard for the most popular archivers, currently
supported: ARC,ARJ,ZIP,LHA,LZH,DWC,SQZ,ZOO,PAK,HYP,EXE
Will also match when the two first characters matches and
the 3 is a number from 0-9, like: AR1, ZI5 etc.
^hUpload directory^n
When starting an upload, you can force the filemanager always to start in
this directory.
^hScript directory^n
When scripts are ready in Terminate, they will be placed here
^hTranslation file^n
Which XLT file should default to be loaded at startup. No filename here
means no translation, which is normal.
^hPhonebook directory^n
Where to place phonebooks (*.FON), phonebook backups (*.PBK),
translation files (*.XLT) and keyboard mapping files (*.KBD).
^hCapture directory^n
Where all the capture files should be stored *.CAP
^hCapture file^n
Which file should be the default when pressing Alt-L (capture) or
Alt-I (Screen image)
^hLog file^n
Name of the logfile. Terminate will keep this file open all the time if the
logfile toggle is ON. A problem would occur when using networks because you
cannot write to the same file from several Terminates. You will have to
define different logfiles or turn it off. You could enter the name
TER%NET%.LOG and then have an environment variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET NET=04 and then have a separate number for each machine. Terminate will
then replace the %NET% so the filename would be TER04.LOG
^hEditor filename^n
An external editor is something you must have. I admit that people are used
to different editors and hate learning new keys. Qedit seems to be one of
the most used and is surely one of the best. You can request or download
QEDIT from DAN BBS. You should put a !M on the line, so memory will be
swapped out before calling the editor.
^hLine command^n
The @LINE is where the line number is replaced when needed. This is
for example used when you edit one of the manual files. Then Qedit
can start up and place the cursor on the same line as in Terminate.
^hViewer filename^n
A viewer is a program that will allow you to look in big files without
editing. LIST.COM is one of the most used and does not require much
memory, so you do not have to swap out memory first. If you use a
program that uses more memory place a !M on commandline for swapping out
memory first.
^hProtocol directory^n
If you do not give any path with the external protocols, this directory
will be assumed.
^hShell directory^n
When shelling to DOS with Alt-J, change to this directory. You could enter
a C:\ if you want to have the root directory as current when shelling. If
blank, then the Terminate directory will be used. In the filemanager
Terminate will always change to the current directory in the current window.
^hSwap file^n
If you do not have enough XMS or EMS memory, Terminate will swap the memory
to a swapfile. You should define a different swapfile for each person that
runs Terminate if you are on a network. Use the environment variables to
fix this like the logfile: TER%NET%.SWP
^hUtility directory^n
When opening some files, this directory will first be searched.
Place all other files that have nothing to do directly with Terminate in
this directory and don't ever allow the Terminate home directory (eg:
C:\TERMINAT) to be filled with all kinds of garbage.
Some of the files that should be placed in here are:
MAGIC.TXT List of magic names for the point system
NODELIST.000 Nodelists for the point system
PASSWORD.BAD Bad passwords for the password checker
PASSWORD.TXT Passwords for the point system
TERMINAT.CST Costfile
TERMINAT.EXT Extensions for the file manager
TERMINAT.LGO File to show at startup if registered
TERMINAT.MOD Quick modem install
WELCOME.ASC Welcome picture for the hostmode
^hManual directory^n
Where to search for the help and manual files, if you run several
Terminate's on a network you can save diskspace by using the same
manual files.
^hRun after download/upload^n
After an internal or external download/upload, this program or batch file
can be called. This could be useful if you have some kind of program
to import descriptions into a FILES.BBS file, for example.
!0 on commandline will be replaced with the current download directory.
^hQwk reply files^n
When you write offline mail with an offline reader like Silver Express
or other QWK readers. Then you messages will be saved in a file. This
file should be specified here. When you then upload the file Terminate
will delete it afterwards.
