Setting up the program
KEYSTROKES: ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐

ProComm allows you to define many of your own power-up defaults for system
parameters. You can also change a setting temporarily, use it for the current
session, then automatically go back to your default settings for the next
session. Setup is reached via the Alt-S command. It is divided into 6
sections:
1) MODEM SETUP
2) TERMINAL SETUP
3) KERMIT SETUP
4) GENERAL SETUP
5) HOST MODE SETUP
6) ASCII TRANSFER SETUP
S) SAVE SETUP TO DISK
Use these commands to set up your communications session before dialing. You
can then use the on-line <PONLINE> commands to control the session once you're
logged onto a system. However, you should note that these setup commands can
be used while you're on-line with a system.
Press Alt-S from the Help Window or while in Terminal Mode to activate the
SetUp facility. The screen will clear and present you with the options.
You can exit the main setup screen at any time by pressing [ESC]; any changes
you have made but not saved to disk (using the "S" option from this screen)
will be in effect only for the current ProComm session.
Select a setup section by typing its number and pressing [ENTER]. The screen
will clear and display the current settings for that section. To change a
setting, enter the number of the setting you wish to change and press
[ENTER]. Then make your change as described below. If, after selecting a
parameter, you decide not to change it, you can retain the current value by
simply pressing [ESC].
If the parameter you have selected requires a string, type in the characters
for the new string and press [ENTER]. Note that pressing [ENTER] without
typing any characters will clear the setting; if you wish to retain the
current string, press [ESC].
Some parameters offer you a selection of valid values. Press the space bar to
cycle among the available values. When the value you desire is displayed,
press [ENTER] to accept it.
If the setting you are changing requires a number, enter the new number and
press [ENTER]. ProComm will check to make sure that the number falls within a
valid range. If you have selected a number outside that range, ProComm will
inform you of the error and allow you to select another number.
After making your changes in a particular section, press [ESC] to return to
the main SetUp Menu. If you wish to save your changes to disk, select "S"
from that menu. If you choose the Save option, the current settings will
become your power-up defaults. If you do not save the setup, the changes you
have made will be in effect for only the current ProComm session.
