Which command do you need help with?
> RUCPHMWLTNGQFS|
UU USER-NAME
UU Lets you change the name you log on as. May be available
UU only to higher-privileged callers.
UC CITY
UC Lets you change the city you told Opus you're calling from.
UP PASSWORD
UP You can change your logon password. You should do this
UP every few months for increased security.
UH HELP LEVEL
UH You can tell Opus how much menu information you need.
UH There are three help levels:
UH
UH NOVICE - A lot of help with full menus
UH REGULAR - A little help and brief menus
UH EXPERT - No help, no menus
UM MORE
UM Turns the "More [Y,n]?" prompt on or off.
UM
UM MORE ON: Opus asks "More [Y,n]?" after displaying the number of
UM lines equal to your L)ength of screen setting.
UM
UM MORE OFF: Most information is displayed non-stop. You can still
UM pause the display using CONTROL-S to pause and any other
UM key to resume the display.
UW WIDTH
UW Tells Opus how many characters across your monitor can display.
UW This is taken into consideration for message displays ONLY.
UW Bulletins, file listings, etc. are always displayed assuming
UW you have 80 columns. Sorry folks, it's called PROGRESS.
UL LENGTH OF SCREEN
UL You can tell Opus how many lines your screen can hold before
UL asking you "More [Y,n]?". 24 or 25 lines is normal. Of course,
UL if you have the MORE option set to OFF, this setting really
UL doesn't matter.
UT TABS
UT Turns TAB display on or off.
UT
UT TABS ON: Tabs are sent as tabs. Your terminal software must be able
UT to handle tabs correctly, or the spacing on your screen will
UT not look right. Screen output is faster with Tabs ON.
UT
UT TABS OFF: Tabs are sent as a sequence of 8 spaces. Slower, but
UT more reliable. Try it both ways and see which works best.
UT
UN NULLS
UN Nulls are ASCII 0's that some slower terminals need to keep
UN up with Opus. If you're using a personal computer, chances
UN are you don't need to worry about nulls.
UG GRAPHICS
UG Turns ANSI graphics on or off.
UG
UG If the word
RED on this line is highlighted or in color,
UG then your computer understands ANSI graphics commands. Keep GRAPHICS ON.
UG If, however, you see something like [31;1mRED above, then your
UG computer is ignoring the ANSI commands. Keep GRAPHICS OFF.
US SCREEN CLEAR
US Tells Opus to clear the screen when appropriate.
US
US YES: Opus will clear your screen from time to time.
US NO: Material "scrolls" with no screen clear.
UF FULL-SCREEN EDITOR
UF Opus is now pioneering the concept of the first BBS full-screen
UF editor. It allows you to enter messages using arrow keys, etc.,
UF just like a word processor. If you turn OFF the F)ull-scrn editor,
UF you will use the LORE (line-oriented editor), the more orthodox
UF method.
UF You must have ANSI G)raphics ON to use the Full-screen editor.
UQ QUIT TO MAIN MENU
