- {C3TIPS:
- {C4A)NSIEditor: If your terminal program can support ANSI cursor commands,
- then you can select this option to ALWAYS use the ANSIEditor when
- entering a message. Otherwise, you will be asked if you want to use
- the ANSIEditor every time you enter a message
-
- B)ulletin: If this option is OFF, RBBS-PC will always display the bulletin
- menu when you log on. If you turn this option ON, RBBS-PC will only
- display the bulletin menu if there are NEW bulletins to read. The
- sysop can disable this option, in which case you will always see the
- bulletin menu when you log on.
-
- C)ase change: Most computers can display both upper and lower case
- letters, but some computers only display upper case. The "C" command
- alternates between "UPPER CASE ONLY" and "UPPER CASE and lower case."
-
- E)xtended: This option controls the display on extended file descriptions
- while listing files for download. When it is OFF, you will only be
- shown the file name, size, date, and a short description. When it is
- ON, you will also be shown (if any) an extended description of the
- file.
-
- F)ile: RBBS-PC will give you the option to review files added to the
- RBBS-PC downloads since your last logon as soon as you call the system.
- If you want to wait until you go to the FILE menu to review files for
- downloading, turn this option off. The SYSOP can disable this option.
- This option makes it fast and easy to check for new download files on
- RBBS-PC.
-
- H)ilight: If your system can support ANSI color commands, you can specify
- text colors for RBBS-PC prompts. When you turn HILIGHT on, RBBS-PC will
- ask you for your preferred color and intensity, and then show you what
- the prompt will look like in your selected color. When your selection
- is correct, press [ENTER] to save the change.
-
- I)interNode Chat Availability: If you want to always be available for
- internode chats from other callers on line then turn this option on.
- If you would rather not be disturbed, then turn it off.
-
- K)Erase More Prompt: If you want to have all More Prompts erased, then
- toggle this option on. If you don't want the More Prompt ereased and
- would rather have the BBS start with a new line after the More Prompt,
- then toggle this option off.
-
- M)ail Check: Some BBS's may not let you know when there are new messages.
- If this is the case with the BBS you are on now, then by toggling this
- option on, you will be asked to read all new mail when there is new
- mail to read. If your sysop has set the BBS to ask you if you want
- to read all new mail, then turning this option OFF will have NO effect!
-
- N)ulls: Nulls put a delay at the beginning of each line that RBBS-PC sends
- to your system. Entering "N" will toggle or alternate nulls on and
- off, as you choose. Only systems that need time to move back to the
- start of a line should set NULLS on (such as teletypes).
-
- S)ANSI Music: If your modem program can support ANSI Music, then turning
- this option on will make the BBS send you ANSI Music for prompt bells
- instead of plain old beeps.
-
- T)urbokeys: RBBS-PC can act on one-character input without requiring an
- [ENTER] key. With Turbokey ON, whenever RBBS-PC only expects one
- character, instead of using a "?" to prompt you, a "!" will appear
- instead. When you press one key, RBBS-PC will act on it immediately.
- If you want to enter more than one key at a turbokey prompt, type a
- slash "/" key, and RBBS-PC will allow you to enter an entire line.
-
- X)pert: RBBS-PC operates in two modes. Novices get verbose menus, more
- detailed explanations, and extra warnings. Experts get just the
- command prompts without menus. The novice mode makes it easier to learn
- how to use RBBS-PC.
-
- !)Prompt bell: An auditory reminder (beep) to tell you when the computer
- is awaiting your input. Some find it useful, but if you do not want to
- hear the noise, use this option to turn it off.{C0
