If you are running a Wildcat board and generating the short REALtime
hello screens you may be interested in the following for improved
display to your users.
The Hello screens are generated with NO @PAUSE@ statement at the end.
This is to give the SYSOP maximum leeway to determine the usage of the
screen (either as a hello, bulletin, newsletter etc screen). On my
board the screen is used as a hello. I generate the hello in my
DISPLAY directory as HELLO8.BBS. My HELLO9.BBS screen contains ONLY
a @PAUSE@ statement. Hence, the users see the hello8.bbs screen come
up, followed by the hello9.bbs screen containing only the @PAUSE@
statement which stops the screen for viewing. You can also place
another smaller (less then full size hello screen) in your HELLO9.BBS
screen followed by the @PAUSE@ statement. The effect is the same,
the upper portion being the latest doors entered on your system followed
by whatever other info you may want to display to the users.
