ABOUT HAGTERM ELITE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
HagTerm Elite is an advanced communications package. It is
designed and programmed by an experienced BBS user, so therefore
it reflects the needs that a typical BBS user might need. This
package is probably better than all communications programs
available on the market, let it be either Freeware or Commercial.
Enough of this bragging! HagTerm Elite was initially
released as HagTerm about a year ago. HagTerm (v2.0) was written
using GFA Basic v2.0, and compiled with GFA Compiler. The program
then was the only Shareware/Public Domain communications program
that offered such advanced features like a built-in Editor.
However, to my disappointment, its closest competitor, VanTerm,
seemed to be the more successful, even though to most users
HagTerm was the more powerful. Fortunately, many of those users
who were using HagTerm contributed and became Registered users.
To them, I say a warm "THANK YOU!" I received more Registerations
than I expected, therefore I continued development with HagTerm.
With GFA Basic 2.0, my source code was very messy and the
language itself was very limiting. Therefore I waited till GFA
Basic 3.0 was released, quickly got my upgrade, and started on
development on HagTerm Elite. To my dismal, I discovered that
most parts of HagTerm had to be re-written in order to add more
features. With this release of HagTerm Elite, the code is about
98% rewritten from the older version of HagTerm. I added 10 times
as much features, and made use of true Resource Files to make the
use of the program even easier. Fortunately, I had a lot of time
to work on HagTerm Elite since I was under no pressure to release
it; there was no released GFA Basic 3.0 compiler up until now!
Also, since I am a high school student, I had very little time to
use the computer to program HagTerm Elite. Again, fortunately,
Summer vacation came by real quickly and now I am able to work on
HagTerm Elite for at least a few hours a day. Unfortunately
again, however, school started again real quickly and now I have
just enough time to finish up the documentation and make it ready
for release!
After months of programming, after months of aggravation, I
finally came up with this fully-working version. I hope to
capture a large share of the communications program market, and
also hope to have all users of this program to Register their copy
of HagTerm Elite.
Enough of this...all I want to say is that I have put in a
lot of work into this program, and I really feel that HagTerm
Elite is a very powerful program and is one of the BEST out there.
So please ENJOY using this program!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
------------------------------------------------------------------
HagTerm Elite, including this manual, is designed and written
by Hagop Janoyan (that's me!). I am a 16 year old High School
student; I am currently enrolled as a Senior (12th grade) in
Glendale High School, and plan to attend University of California,
Los Angeles. Basically, I started writing HagTerm about 2 years
ago as a way to get acquainted with GFA Basic. Starting with a
simple terminal program that a friend provided me with, I quickly
saw what possibilities I could design to improve that program. I
never imagined that I will be releasing the program to the public;
it was simply meant as an experiment for me!
Anyway...I quickly learned new things about GFA Basic, and
was real amazed at its power and simplicity. Therefore, as it is
known to a lot of others, I became very protective of GFA Basic
and its usefullness!
Although I do not have many other titles in production, I
have unsuccessfully written a Menu Maker program. It is now
sitting on one of my disks waiting to be completed for release.
This wasn't going to be "yet another menu maker," but rather allow
you to create full-page menus with 10 different menu items on each
screen. Each of these items will perform a specified function.
The user can program what each menu item would perform, such as
launching another program, doing disk operations, displaying a
message, requesting user-input (with 26 different variables), etc.
After I finish with HagTerm Elite, I might go back to this Menu
Maker program and get it ready for release. You never know...
My background: I am born (and raised) in Baghdad, Iraq.
Although born in an Arabic nation, I am an Armenian decent and my
first language is Armenian (Parev!). My family immigrated to the
United States about six years ago. Ever since, I have grown very
proficient with computers.
And that's my life story! Okay, there are more things to my
life than just computers, but I don't want to bore you with them!

HAGTERM ELITE FEATURES
------------------------------------------------------------------
(...or an advertisement to get you to register!)
Since I am not providing a full manual, many of you might not
realize just how many powerful features HagTerm Elite contains.
Therefore, in this section, I will try to list all the important
features that make HagTerm Elite an excellent package!
* Very user-friendly program. Every function of HagTerm Elite
can be operated using just the mouse. Additionally, it comes
complete with on-screen icons and buttons, as well as Menus in
the Main Menu, and on-screen instructions.
* Can also be operated using keyboard equivalents. Most Menu
Items and Settings can be operated by using simple and quick
ALTERNATE/CONTROL keys.
* Access to 20 Macros, which can either contain pure text or
commands that will automate your life!
* Access to a transfer file section, which allows you to use
Xmodem, Xmodem 1k, Ymodem, and ASCII protocols. Additionally,
HagTerm Elite is completely compatible with Shadow transfer
protocols that will provide you with even more power and
multitasking!
* Easy access with DCOPY, the Disk Utility program of choice!
With just one click from the Main Menu, you can automatically
call up DCOPY, which will allow you to perform a full range of
Disk functions, including a very fast ARC and unARC capability.
* Access to easy-to-use "quick" Disk Functions from within
HagTerm Elite, including a full featured Disk Formatter.
* Ability to execute outside programs from within HagTerm Elite!
Additionally, HagTerm Elite will attempt to provide you with
64K of extra RAM for the outside program to use.
* Allows you to design your own preference of which of the three
screens to store in memory, thus preventing a redraw. For
example, you can choose if you want to store the Dial Screen in
memory and sacrifice 32K of memory, or have it be redrawn every
time it is accessed. _VERY_ valuable for you 512K users!
* You can save dozens of defaults into one file, ranging from the
Baud Rate setting to the name of your Dial Directory!
* Allows you to change and store the screen colors from within
the program.
* Allows you to turn the keyclick on & off, as well as to turn
the Bell sound on & off.
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
* Allows you to turn VT52 off, ideal for those irritating VT52
sequences which turn the screen colors upside down!
* Allows you to set the system Clock and Date.
* Displays the System Time, as well as the Timer, on the screen
at the upper right hand conrner.
* Very easy to use, on-screen access to all settings! That's
right, you can set the Duplex right from the Main Menu screen,
and see its status on the screen while you change it! No need
to go through clumsy Settings menu anymore!
* Allows you to set the Baud Rate in very small increments; up to
19200 baud, and as low as 50 baud!
* Access to Accessories through the Main Menu.
* Four different modes (Main Menu, Terminal Mode, Dial Mode, and
Editor Mode), with easy interaction between them, and easy
access between each other.
* Enter a HagScript command very easily and quickly with the use
of the Insert key. This can be used from Dial, Terminal, and
Main Menu only. There is also a 50 HagScript command history
buffer.
* A very unique and new Fast Dial option. Press Alternate-F from
Main Menu, Terminal or Editor Modes, and then either type in
the name of a stored BBS or a phone number. The system
automatically distinguishes between the two! For example,
press Alternate-F, and then type in just a part of the BBS name
(stored in the Dial Mode), and the system automatically dials
that BBS system! It also assigns the correct user name and
password strings, as well as optionally executing the Auto-
Loger. Or, you may enter just a phone number, and HagTerm
dials that number with the correct dialing code.
* HagScript features:
* Over 90 powerful commands available:
WAIT, DELAY, MODE, KEYPRESS, PRINT, PAUSE,
TERMINAL, OUT, INPUT, STRICT, BAUD, LINEFEED,
DUPLEX, CLS, DIAL, MAIN, INKEY, FILESELECT, MACRO,
STATUS, ALERT, MENU, DIR, EXECUTE, LOADDIAL,
LOADDEF, IF, DO, GOTO, GOTOL, LABEL, LET, SGET,
SPUT, DRAW, PLOT, LINE, BOX, CIRCLE, COLOR,
SETCOLOR, DEFTEXT, TEXT, ACCESS, STOP, DELETE,
MFOLDER, DFOLDER, TYPE, COPY, EDITOR, CAPTURE,
OPENCAP, CLOSECAP, RENAME, DIALNUM, DIALNAME,
DIAL.CONFIG, DIAL.LOG, DIAL.AUTODIAL,
DIAL.AUTO.REDIAL, DIAL.AUTO.SCRIPT,
DIAL.AUTO.DEFAULT, PARITY, FLOW, STOPBITS, CHAR,
BUFFER, AUTOPAUSE, PRINTER, KEYCLICK, VT52, REDIAL,
REDIAL.TIME, MONO.LINES, BELL, PRINTFILE, COLORTOG,
WAITTIME, WAITDATE, WAITTIMER, TIMER, LOADSCRIPT,
PLAY, SETMACRO, AUXCLEAR, SETTIME, SETDATE,
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
LOADBUFFER, UPPER, DCOPY, UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD
...and more are being added!
* 26 user definable String variables available, as well as
an additional 26 Numeric variables which can be
accessed through any HagScript command.
* Over 50 System variables which contain predefined
variables such as system Time, baud rate, etc.
* Powerful IF...THEN statement, as well as a very powerful
LET statement.
* Full range of user interaction and prompt, as well as a
full range of Graphics commands.
* You can use the HagTerm Elite Editor to create ASCII
files with your HagScript, or use your own editor to
create them.
* You will be able to install HagScripts onto the Main
Menu under the SCRIPT menu. Just press ALTERNATE plus a
number, and you can instantly have a HagScript executed!
Or, click on the main menu "Load & Play" icon and
select a HagScript to execute. Or, better yet, you can
have a HagScript be executed at a certain time and date!
Now you can save those downloading sessions up to the
"wee" night hours, when the phone bills are low!
* Dialer features:
* 80 dial slots which will store the Name, Number of a
BBS. However, HagTerm Elite takes you further, and
provides you with slots for your User Name and User
Password for each BBS, as well as a defaults file to
load automatically upon connection to each BBS, and a
HagScript file to be loaded automatically upon
connection. Finally, you also are provided with two
lines to put miscellaneous Notes about that BBS. Of
course, you can also have different Baud Rates, Duplex,
and Linefeeds status for each BBS. What more could you
ask?
* Five different "pages", each storing up to 16 Dial Items
(BBS's). Each page also has its own Title. Now you can
store your BBS list in Groups!
* Delete, Insert, Cut & Paste a Dial Item for easy
modifications.
* Get a quick printout of your Dial directory, including a
Summary and Detailed printout.
* Each Dial Item can contain its own "Auto-Log"
procedures, where you can define a Wait and a Answer
string to automate your logon process! No need to write
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
messy Script files anymore! Additionally, you can
insert powerful HagScript commands (including
variables) into your Answer string to have a powerful &
easy automation! What more could you ask???!
* Select multiple Dial Items very easily; just press the
Shift key and click the mouse button to select/deselect
the Dial Items!
* An advanced Autodialer, with capabilities to dial
multiple Dial Items, as well as recognize specified
connect/failure strings and redial after a certain
number of seconds. Additionally, you can specify a
Delay time, which will delay the Autodialer between each
redial. For example, a 30 second Delay will cause the
Autodialer to dial a certain Dial Item, and after
timeout/failure, pause for 30 seconds, then go onto the
next Dial Item. Could become very useful.
* The User Name and Password of the last dialed BBS are
stored in a system variable, which can be placed into
your Macros, or Auto-Log Script, or even sent out to the
modem by pressing Alternate-U or Alternate-P through the
Terminal mode.
* A Search function, which allows you to search for a
String in any one of the slots.
* Editor Features:
* A full featured editor, allowing you to write ASCII
text very quickly and painlessly; no need to switch to a
Word Processor to write short messages!
* Uses Assembler routines for display of text. What you
get is a very quick text display, as well as a very
quick scrolling.
* Uses easy-to-use mouse operations to select functions
from a menu, or to scroll through the text file.
* A nice display at the bottom of the scree showing the X
and the Y position of the cursor, the line number of the
cursor, and the CAPS status.
* You can specify four markers to mark positions in the
file and be able to quickly jump to those marks. Also,
you can use the mouse to click onto the "Line Number"
position at the bottom of the screen to type in a new
line number to jump to.
* A Search feature.
* Best of all, there now is an automatic word-wrapping
feature! You may turn this feature off.
* A complex Block function, allowing you to Cut & Paste
the block, as well as Move or Delete it. You may also
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
Upload the block, or Save the block to disk. You may
also Load the block, which will allow you to Merge
different text files onto the screen.
* You may Upload ASCII either the whole buffer or just a
block. Allows you to write messages offline and later
upload them; very useful, and very time-saving (meaning
very money-saving!)
* Terminal Mode Features:
* A nice status line at the bottom of the screen, which
can be turned off to get the maximum number of lines on
the screen.
* Lots of functions that could of been used from the Main
Menu now can be activated by a Alternate+key
combination. No need to go back to the Main Menu every
time!
* A useful Clear Screen feature which clears the screen
and also resets the screen colors.
* You can turn off VT52 functions all together, and
HagTerm Elite will then DISPLAY the ESC codes rather
than executing them in the normal fashion.
* View the buffer through the Terminal mode very quickly.
Just press Alternate+S, and the buffer will be
displayed. Then, you can scroll through the buffer page
by page, or goto a certain line, or search for a certain
string. I must tell you this: This has really been the
most used "new" feature. This function also uses
Assembler routines to display the text, therefore the
text appears instantly, rather than waiting for it to be
redrawn. Additionally, VT52 codes are not executed.
* You can send the User Name and Password of the last
dialed BBS simply by pressing Alternate+U or
Alternate+P. No need to type those silly names and
passwords again!
* AND NOW...Different file paths for each type of fileselector
(different file paths for Scripts, for Defaults, for Dial
Directory, for Upload files, for Download files, etc.)
(NOTE: Some features might not work properly in this version of
HagTerm Elite.)
That sure is a lot of features! Of course, this is just a summary
of HagTerm Elite's features, definitely not a list of all the
available features. It certainly should help you make full use of
HagTerm Elite.

------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO REGISTER HAGTERM ELITE
------------------------------------------------------------------
HagTerm Elite is termed as "Shareware." This is not a Public
Domain product. If you use Hagterm Elite regularly, then you must
register this product. PLEASE, if you will not be registering
this copy of HagTerm Elite, then either give this copy to a friend
or delete it from all your disks. I cannot afford people using
this program without registering their product.
HagTerm Elite is not also a Commercial product. With
Shareware, you are legally allowed to get this program for free.
Afterwards, you are able to use this program for a while. If you
like it and you start using it regularly, then you MUST pay for
it. Otherwise, you must either delete it or give it to a friend.
This has a very big advantage over commercially released products.
With commercial products, you do not get a chance to use the
program a while to decide if you want to pay for it.
What do you get when you register HagTerm Elite? Well, you
get a LOT more. Here is a list of what you can get by
registering:
1) You will be allowed to call me in case of a question or
a problem. Remember, you will be allowed to talk
directly to the author of HagTerm Elite, and who else
would know more about this program than the author
himself?
2) You will receive update notices when Hagterm Elite is
revised.
3) On Disk, you will receive both an ASCII file and a Word
Writer (1st Word) format of this manual, which will
include the special typeface (such as Bold and
Underlining, etc.) that this contains (but is not
available in this ASCII text file). You may then print
that out for a better manual.
4) Probably the most important to some users is that you
can get the full GFA Basic 3.0 source code to HagTerm
Elite. However, the rights to the program is still
protected by me, and you will have to get permission
from me if you want to use any part of the code. It is
a great learning experience however to just see how some
of my operations are achieved.
5) You get the option of asking for any improvements. If
the request is reasonable and within realms of my
knowledge, then I will include that improvement within
the next version of HagTerm Elite.
6) For a small fee, I will write you a requested HagScript.
7) And the most important reason to register is that you
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
will be helping me in writing more applications for the
Atari ST. Remember, the support I received from the
original HagTerm gave me a lot of motivation to spend
months on this program; and another major upgrade will
not be possible if I do not get such support again from
the users.
8) AND NOW...you will also receive HagTerm v2.0 for 512K
users, plus the source code for HagTerm v2.0 in GFA
Basic 2.0 format. ALSO, you will receive the latest
version of ST Whiz, my newest program that creates a
program list. You will also receive the source code to
ST Whiz in GFA Basic 3.0 format.
...isn't that enough to get you to register HagTerm Elite? I
certainly hope it is!
To register, print the Registeration Form from the Main Menu. To
do so, first align your printer to the top of the paper and select
the Menu Item "Print Registeration Form" under the FILE menu in
the Main Menu. It couldn't be easier! All the terms and
conditions are available in the Registeration Form printout.
NOTE: Those who registered earlier versions of HagTerm are not
required to re-register with HagTerm Elite.
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED
------------------------------------------------------------------
In this ARC File, you should find the following files:
HAGTRM33.PRG Working program of HagTerm Elite
HAGTRM33.RSC The Resource File for HagTerm Elite
(This file must be on the same directory
as HAGTERM3.PRG)
HAGTERM.DIR A Dial Directory List
READ_ME.1st Contains some info about this version of
program
HAGTRM33.TXT This ASCII document file that you are
viewing
HAGSCRPT.TXT An ASCII document file with an
explanation of the HagScript part of the
program, along with a full listing of all
the commands supported.
Also, there are an assortment of HagScript files which provide an
example of the power of this system. The HagScript files have the
extension .HAG. Each HagScript file is complemented by a text
file explaining its operation and its purpose.
To get started, copy all of the files onto a folder or onto
the root directory. You might want to place the sample HagScript
files into their own folders called SCRIPT, though they can reside
anywhere.
Next, double click on the HAGTER33.PRG to get it executed.
HagTerm Elite will now execute. After the initialization, it will
look for the file HAGTERM.DEF on the folder from which
HAGTERM3.PRG was executed. If found, it will load it in as its
defaults. Next, it will look for the specified Dial Directory
(usually HAGTERM.DIR). If found, it will load that in.
Then, you are presented with the Main Menu. You are now ready to
use Hagterm Elite!
NOTE: To make the most effective use of HagTerm Elite, you should
now create a Defaults file. To do this, just select Save Defaults
from the Files menu. Use the filename HAGTERM.DEF in the same
path as HagTerm Elite program file. You should also specify all
the file paths that you want to use through the Set File Paths
option.
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
------------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT HAGTERM ELITE
------------------------------------------------------------------
HagTerm Elite consists of four parts or Modes.
The first Mode is the Main Menu. Through the Main Menu, most
of the functions can be performed. You have access to all the
Settings, as well as access to the HagScript commands. You also
can use Accessories through Main Menu.
The second Mode is the Terminal Mode. Through this Mode, you
can communicate with the modem by sending characters and looking
at the return characters from the modem.
The third mode is the Editor Mode. Through this Mode, you
can edit a file or the Buffer. You have access to a variety of
word processing functions.
Finally, the fourth mode is the Dial Mode. Through this
Mode, you can keep track of different BBS or other computer
systems. HagTerm Elite can automatically dial those systems for
you, as well as provide you with an assortment of different
functions to further help you in organizing the list.
Each of the four modes are discussed further and in detail in
the following chapters.
HagTerm Elite also has access to what is known as HagScripts.
HagScripts are very similar to Flash's "DO" files, though in many
ways, it is very superior and more powerful. This allows you to
automate many of your daily processes, as well as allowing you to
design specific menus for specific systems and uses. Please look
at the example HagScripts provided with this package to see the
sheer power of this package; they are the files that have the
extension *.HAG. To execute the example HagScripts, simply click
on the "LOAD & PLAY" icon in the Main Menu and select one of the
HagScripts. For more information about HagScripts, see Chapter 7
which lists all the HagScript commands and explains them in
detail, as well as explaining the use of variables.
Additionally, you have access to a HELP Screen in each of the
four Modes listed above. In the Main Menu, Terminal & Editor
Modes, simply press the [HELP] key on your keyboard; on the Dial
Mode, click on the "HELP" button. They do not contain a lot of
information and do not discuss anything in detail; they do,
however, explain some of the general ideas of that Mode.
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN MODES
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following keys are available to get from one Mode to
another Mode:
Alternate+F1 - Go to the Main Menu
Alternate+F2 - Go to the Terminal Mode
Alternate+F3 - Go to the Editor Mode
Alternate+F4 - Go to the Dial Mode
(The above keys CANNOT be used through the Dial Mode)
However, when in the Main Menu, you can also click on the Dial
Icon to switch to Dial Mode, and click on the Editor Icon to
switch to the Editor Mode. Click the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON from the
Main Menu to switch to the Terminal Mode.
In the Terminal Mode, click the Left Mouse Button once to enter
the Dial Mode. Click the right mouse button to switch to the Main
Menu.
In the Editor Mode, click the Right Mouse Button once to switch to
the Mode that was previously activated.
In the Dial Mode, you must click on the "EXIT" button or press
RETURN or ENTER to go back to the Mode that was previously
activated.
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPATIBILITY
------------------------------------------------------------------
HagTerm Elite is NOT compatible with earlier versions of HagTerm
(like HagTerm v2.0) in ANY way. Sorry for this inconvenience.
HagTerm should work with the following minimum equipment:
Any Atari ST with at least 512K (I might change this
limitation to 1 megabyte in the future, since memory is
already very tight.)
A color or monochrome monitor (I have designed HagTerm
using a color monitor, however)
A single sided disk drive and/or a hard drive
A printer is optional. Any text printer should work.
NOTE: It is _highly_ recommended that you run this program using
nothing less than 1 meg of memory.
HagTerm Elite works perfeclty under TOS 1.4.
HagTerm Elite might cause some problems when used with a large
screen monitor, though I am not certain.
All well-behaved accessories should work through HagTerm Elite's
Accessory Mode.

------------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS (VERY IMPORTANT...PLEASE READ!)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since school started about two months ago, I have not been
able to finish off the bugs in HagTerm Elite. However, to get
this program out the door, I had to release this program WITH the
bugs. Sorry for this inconvenience, but that was all I could do
to release this in time. With school and other activities, there
was no way that I could spend more than an average of an hour
working with HagTerm every week. I will have to wait till my
vacations and then see how much more I could get done. Summer is
not far away; during the next summer vacation, I plan to again
enhance HagTerm Elite and make it 10 times more powerful, AGAIN!
But first, I must work on this program to release a bug-free
program as fast as possible.
In the meantime, please take into account the following bugs:
* 48 lines in monochrome does not work
* As a last minute decision, I left out proper support for
Shadow transfer protocols. I could not get them working
properly. However, you can use Shadow Dial correctly.
Currently, under the Shadow menu (in the main screen), the
only working commands are Dial and Abort Trasfer/Dial. I'm
working on this and should have full-shadow support soon.
Since I don't use Shadow at all, I have not been very excited
or supportive in implementing Shadow support. To all you
Shadow fans, SORRY! Oh well...this is not meant as an
attack, but I have never liked how Shadow works from the
start. But I know some users find Shadow very useful and
productive, so I will continue to add more Shadow support.
Please, if you find some other bugs, leave me a note anyway you
can. If I can fix it, I will quickly do so and get it ready for a
future release. Your name will also be included in this
documentation file for the future release, unless you prefer to
remain anonymous.
-- HagTerm Elite v3.3 --
------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES
------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from HagTerm Elite v3.1 to v3.3:
* As you can see, there have been _many_ bugs fixed. I hope to
fix the other bugs soon.
* The Shadow has now been partially implemented.
* The Transfers now work better than before!(but still not
perfect...)
* I have added File Paths, to allow you to specify where each
type of file is located.
* There has been a button added to quickly and automatically
execute the UnLZH (any version) program, which is an LZH
extractor. This buttonw works much like the DCOPY button.
Remember, you must first specify the UnLZH program filename
through Set File Paths option.
* When you execute any outside program (including DCOPY and
UnLZH), HagTerm Elite automatically flushes out the current
resource file to give you more RAM space (about 60K more).
However, when you return to HagTerm Elite, the resource file
(HAGTRM33.RSC) must be reloaded. For disk drive owners, this
means you have to leave your HagTerm Elite disk inside your drive.
However, this should not affect the hard drive owners much.
NOTE: The Defaults and the Dial Directory files are
interchangeable between HagTerm Elite v3.3 and v3.1.
