| Multi-node chat Telegard script
|

ChatCall Instalation Instructions
---------------------------------
1) First, copy CHATCALL.SCR to your \BBS\TEXT directory. This is the
directory where Telegard will look for .SCR files.
2) Next, you will need to edit CHATCALL.SCR to change the paths used in
it (unless you have your bbs set up in the *DEFAULT* directories that
Telegard installed them to.
For example in your editor search for \TG and replace each occurance
of \TG with the path to where you have installed Telegard to. If you
installed Telegard in a directory called TELEGARD then you would change
each ocurance of \TG to \TELEGARD. example:
in the script you have a line that reads:
FILECREATE C:\TG\TEMP$CHATNO$\CHAT.~CN
You would replace the \TG in the line above to read
FILECREATE C:\TELEGARD\TEMP$CHATNO$\CHAT.~CN
3) After changing the paths used in CHATCALL.SCR and saving the file, you
will need to add a menu command to access this script. Following is
an example of a menu command to add:
1. Long : (/C)hat with people on other nodes
2. Short : (/C)hat with other node
3. Keys : /C
4. Command : -E - Execute Script
5. Options : "chatcall CHAT"
6. Access : "^"
7. Display : ACS Dependant
Edit menu (?=help) :
I have added a menu command for each menu that users have access to so
that they can chat from where ever they happen to be.
4) If you chose a different KEYS on #3 than what I added in my list, then
you will also need to change the following line in CHATCALL.SCR to show
the users the correct key to get into chat:
MENU NM $CHATNO$; ~UH wishes to chat with you. Press /C from any menu to chat.
^^^^
The above would need
to be changed to what
ever command you have
chosen to start chat.
Changes from my first CHATCALL.SCR
------------------------------------
1) First version of CHATCALL.SCR required that you press enter to be
able to see if there was a message waiting for you. Thanks to some
changes that Tim has made in the scripting language, this is not
necessary. CHATCALL now uses the KEYPRESSED script command that
was added in gamma3.
2) CHATCALL uses new commands in Telegard gamma3 that allow you to send
messages to other nodes. This is used to send a message to the other
node to let them know that you are wanting to chat, and a brief line
of instruction to let the user know how to access the chat command.
3) I added a help screen so that users can get help on the other commands
that are available.
4) Added the /N command to start a new chat.
5) Added the /S command to allow sending a message to someone on a
different node with out being in CHAT with them. (uses the NM menu
command in Gamma3).

COST ?????
--------------
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!!!!!
Telegard is FREE, and this does NOTHING that Telegard isn't doing for me :)
Enjoy this one, and thank Tim Strike.
Credits
--------------
I credit Tim Strike and the Telegard BETA team entirely for making this
type of a script possible. From what I read of the WHATSNEW.300 it looks
as though this script may soon become obsolete when/if there is an inter-
node chat added to Telegard.
A special thanks to Tim Strike for added the Keypressed routine to the
Telegard scripting language, as well as for the rest of his many
accomplishments with Telegard.
Suggestions
-----------------
I doubt that anyone will have many suggestions for this, but just in
case, if you have something that you would like to see added, and are
having difficulties in doing so, you are more than welcome to NETMAIL
