 The TERMINAT indicates which phone directory file is used. In this example
 TERMINAT.FON has been loaded. The comment ( Private phonebook ) can be
 changed in the ^hO^nther menu. The first ░·░░░░ field is a menubar that
 indicates where you are in the current phonebook. This will change if you
 press ^hCursor Up/Down^n. The second menubar is controlled by ^hcursor Left/right^n
 and will allow you to see almost anything about the current entries on
 screen.

 Change phonebook, if you have several phonebooks. It is advisable to use
 as small a phonebook as possible to save memory. You could have imported
 a bbs-list or a nodelist segment. And then only copy single entries to
 your dayly phonebook with the copy function. You could also have a
 phonebook for your private needs and one for your work. Try to divide
 it up in smaller books to make it easier for you to find the numbers again.
 You could also seperate the groups by giving the entries a different
 color for each entry.

 ^bO^n

 Other functions. Here you can change the comment for the phonebook, see
 the totals for the phonebook and a complete cost calculation for one year
 back. Terminate has one the most advanced cost calculation features found
 in any terminal program. Thanks to many users in different countries is
 Terminate one of the programs that will come closet to your real bill.
 You can print (or save in file) out a LARGE report, telling you all the
 information on this page and cost information statistics for every phone
 entry in the phonebook. You could use this to give to your company to
 prove you really have used the phone so much if they are paying.

 Save phonebook at once. The phonebook is always saved if any changes has
 been made or any numbers has been dialed. The phonebook will be saved
 whenever you change to a new phonebook or exit Terminate.
 When saving a phonebook and the backup system is enabled (default). Then
 the current .FON will be renamed to .PBK and the new phonebook will be
 saved as .FON. If the .FON file is missing Terminate will try to load the
 .PBK file. This function will normally be used if you have made a lot
 of changes and want to be sure nothing can go wrong in a DOS-shell or
 anything else that could course the machine to hang.

 ^bL^n

 Voicecall. Allows you to call any human persons. A screen with information
 with current time, how much time called and how much money used on this

   ^nName of the system to call

 ^hSystem name^n

 Name of the system or person this entry describes

 ^hPhone number^n

 Number to dial to reach the system or person

 ^hDevice^n

 For every system you can specify a device. The devices can be set up in
 the configuration and is mostly used if you have several modems connected
 to your system. You can select between all available devices or choose
 to use the default or current device. If you choose the current device
 the comport will not be changed at all when dialing. If choosing the
 default device, then the startup device will be used.
 For more information look on how to setup a device.

 ^hUser profile^n

 Which name and default password should be used for the autologin
 procedure. If the autologin fails, you can press ^hAlt-N^n to send the
 username manually and ^hAlt-S^n to send the password.

 ^hPassword^n

 For using at the autologin procedure, if you do not define a seperate
 password for each entry the default password for the active user profile
 is used.

 ^hOpening hours^n

 Some systems has only opened a limited time during the day or night.
 You can specify the opening and closing time, then Terminate will warn
 you and ask if you are sure you want to call anyway.

 ^hTerminal^n

 Choose which kind of emulations the other end supports. Look at the help
 for Terminal emulation to get more information. Press ^hAlt-T^n in
 terminal mode to change.

 ^hDial prefix / Dial suffix^n

 In Terminate you can choose between 4 dial prefixes. 1-3 is normal prefixes
 and 4 should be used for international calls, but you can use them for any
 purpose you find right. Normally 'ATDT' is used for HAYES modems, that will
 tell the modem to start dialing a number. AT is the HAYES command DT is for
 Dialing Tone, if Pulse dialing is needed you would choose ATDP.
 The suffix is what to send after the number has been send to the modem.
 Terminate dial like this:

   Prefix + Number + Suffix
   ATDT43623990^M

 The ^M means Return (Ascii #13), it will be replaced with a #13.

 ^hComm. information^n

 These fields are only used for information on the calling system, they will
 not affect the communication in any way. So you can here specify if the
 system are using a baudrate the modem support even though you perhaps
 always use 19200 or 38400 in the device. Terminate will everytime you call
 a system insert the connect baudrate, also 7200,12000,14400,16800,28800 etc.
 at the phone entry, to inform you on which baudrate the system last accepted
 when you called. The feature can be turned of in the configuration.

 ^hAutologin^n

 Use which Autologin script to try to get you online on the system after you
 have connected. You can define your own small login scripts if you call
 systems that will need another script than the default scripts.

 ^hComment 1 & 2^n

 Place any comment on these lines, also used when importing from different
 phonebooks.

 ^hDownload path^n

 Which default download path should be used for the phonebook entry.
 Terminate lets you predefine 3 different paths, so if you have a download
 directory for GIF files, you could tell Terminate to download directly
 into that directory. To change this in terminal mode press ^hAlt^n

 ^hKeyboard mapping^n

 Load a keyboard file when calling this system. That will allow you to load
 a keyboard file, where you have defined all functions key and other special
 keys. You can load a keyboard file in terminal mode by pressing ^hAlt-=^n,
 (the key left of backspace on international keyboard).

 ^hTranslation table^n

 You can also load a translation file when calling a system. It will allow
 you to change incoming and outgoing characters. This is often used with
 systems only running 7-bit, Unix installation and other host systems.
 Press ^hAlt-W^n in terminal mode to create/load/save/reset translation files

 ^hCapture file^n

 Terminate has a capture file system. It means if you specify a filename in
 the entry, a capture file will be opened when you connects to that system.
 You can either remove the filename again by pressing ^hDEL^n or turn off
 the Autocapture system in the configuration or press ^hAlt-0^n in terminal
 mode. Pressing ^hAlt-L^n in that menu will call the external editor and allow
 you to directly edit/view the capture file.

 ^hNote file^n

 For each entry you can define a note file, where you can save any kind of
 information. You could save a filelist or a little summary on what the
 system needs or whatever you like. To edit the note file, you can press
 ^hAlt-N^n in this menu.

 ^hClear last call^n

  Every time you call a system, the date and time for the call is saved in
  the phoneentry. By pressing on this entry the date/time will be removed,
  so it would look like you have not called that system.

 ^hTime used/Connects^n

  Allows you to change the number of seconds used online and how many
  connects you have had to this system.

 ^hTransfer guess^n

 Edit how many kilobytes you have down/up-loaded to that system. When you
 use external protocols, Terminate has to guess how much you have
 downloaded. Terminate first checks how many files and how big the
 download directory is. Then performs the external download, then checks
 again and calculates the difference. This can only be a guess, since
 maybe you are working on a network and deletes some files in the meantime
 in the download directory, but that is also why you manually can edit
 the value if anything goes wrong and you like keeping track of how
 much you have downloaded.

 ^hCosts used^n

 The first entry is how much you totally have on calling this system.
 It will be updated after each call if you use the Cost management.
 The second will also be updated each time you call, but when a new
 month is started the amount will be saved in the last month used
 account, then the number will be set to 0.

 ^hLocal Echo^n

 Echo all characters send to the modem on the screen. Normally always
 turned off.

 ^hStripHigh^n

 Strip all characters above Ascii 127 on incoming traffic. Should not
 be used normally.

 ^hErase backspace^n

 When pressing backspace (Ascii 8) then if this option is On, the
 cursor will move 1 back and erase the character, Off will only
 move the cursor 1 back. Default is On.

 ^hColor^n

 Select the color you want for this entry in the phonebook
