SCRIPT FILE FOR CHANGING YOUR TERMINAL PARAMETERS
TO SUPPORT UPPER AND LOWER CASE ON CIS
If you have been referred to this file for help, it is most likely that
your messages on the Forum and/or your uploaded files have been received
and reproduced on CIS in UPPER case only. We strongly urge that you
enable upper AND lower case for these tasks. In general, because this
is an electronic, faceless, emotionless medium, it has become common
practice to use the upper case to add "personality" or emphasis in a
message, i.e. "Is that REALLY the case?". The following is a script
file that will help you to enable upper and lower case on the Forum/CIS.
1. At any Function: prompt or ! prompt, type "GO CIS 9" (omit the
quote marks now and hereafter). This will bring you to the DEFALT
menu.
2. Select Item #5, which is View or Change Terminal Parameters. A new
menu will come up.
3. Select Item #5, which says "Terminal Supports"..... (it probably
already says "UPPER/LOWER", but if it doesn't, the next step will
fix it all with one keystroke)
4. This next menu describes the possible combinations. Select Item #2,
which is "Upper/Lower case. CAPS off".
5. You will now be returned to the Terminal Parameters menu. Item #5
should now say "UPPER/LOWER" and Item #6 should now say "CAPS OFF".
If this is not the case, then go back to step 5 above, otherwise,
press <enter>.
6. You are now returned to the original screen. Pick Item #6 to exit
DEFALT.
7. When the new menu comes up, be sure to select Item #1, which will
make your new parameters permanent.
Thanks for going along with us. If any other help is needed, please
ask a Sysop.
