Tele-Directory ∙ Advanced Options
E ∙ Echo (local echo)
L ∙ Linefeeds setting
B ∙ Backspace Character
1 ∙ Allow backspace to Prev line
Tele-Directory ∙ Personal Data
The Personal Data strings are a
way you can specify information
which you need to "log-on" to a
particular system. Each of these
can be output from the terminal.
To output:
Handle ·····+ ╧
Number ·····+ ╤
Password ···+ ╨

Tele-Directory ∙ Script
The filename specified here will
be loaded and executed as script
*note: Script to be implemented
in a later v2.xx version
Tele-Directory ∙ Memo
A memo, for yourself, can be
jotted here. For more detailed
notes you can use the "notes"
command.
To output the memo to the modem:

External Terminal Programs
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to
highlight the terminal you want
to run/edit/insert
Enter ∙ Execute Program
ALT-E ∙ Edit
Insert ∙ Insert new entry
Delete ∙ Delete
Edit External Terminal Program
T ∙ Title (program description)
C ∙ Command line
(including parameters)
ESC saves/exits
Fetch Parameter
Enter the parameter which you wish
to pass to the terminal program.
Press Enter when you have completed
the parameter, or ESC to abort the
operation.
Translate Tables
Highlight the Translate Table type
you wish view/edit using the UP/
DOWN arrow keys.
Choose the selected type by
pressing Enter.
Translate Tables ∙ Change Value
Type in the character/color which
will replace the selected item
You can enter the character/
color by the numerical value by
typing ALT-(num on keypad)
You can reset the value to its
default by pressing SHIFT-SHIFT
(both, simultaneously)
Tele-Directory ∙ Files
If files are specified here,
then they will be loaded upon a
telephone directory connection
to this system.
Tele-Directory ∙ Edit Phone Numbers
Specify here the telephone number
or numbers which you will call to
connect to this system.
If a second number is specified,
it will automatically be dialed
if a connection to the first is
not made.
Tele-Directory ∙ Edit Baud Rate
The baud rate is the speed at
which your modem will communicate
with the other system.
You should set your baud rate to
the speed of the other system.
If the speed of the other system
is higher than your modem can
achieve, then you should set the
baud rate to the highest your
modem can go.
If you are wondering about the
concept of "14400" baud - baud
rates such as those are achieved
by setting your baud rate to
19.2, 38.4, or 57.6 depending on
your modem brand / UART type.
You would want to use the highest
setting that works -- the finding
of which is often trial and error.
Tele-Directory ∙ Edit Parity
The most common parity types are
NONE (N) and EVEN (E). NONE is
setting most common for IBM PC
based Bulletin Board systems.
Tele-Directory ∙ Character Length
The most common character lengths
are 8 and 7. 8 is the setting
most common for IBM PC based
Bulletin Board systems.
Tele-Directory ∙ Stop Bits
The most common setting for the
stop bits is 1. Systems where
the character length is 7 is
usually where you would use 2
stop bits.
Tele-Directory ∙ Edit Emulation
The emulation is a video standard
similar to the concept of CGA
and VGA but at a different level.
The most common emulation used is
ANSI-BBS. ANSI-BBS includes ANSI,
VT52, and various VT100, VT102,
and WYSE99 instructions.
Tele-Directory Advanced ∙ Edit Echo
No Echo means that characters
that you type do not get displayed
on your screen. It is assumed
that in this mode the other system
will be echoing them back to you.
Local Echo means that characters
that you type will be displayed
on your screen before being sent
to the other system. It is
assumed that the other system will
not be echoing characters back or
you would see 'double'.
Both Ways means that Lcom will be
displaying your own characters
locally and will be displaying
characters for the person you are
connected with as well.
Tele-Directory Advanced ∙ Linefeeds
Some systems will send carriage
returns with no linefeeds; the
result is that everything seems to
be displayed on one line. Adding
linefeeds will correct the
problem. Adding linefeeds on a
system that is already sending
them will make everything seem
double-spaced.
Tele-Directory Advanced ∙ Backspaces
Typically, the system you are
connected with will expect a
character #8 for backspaces.
Ocassionally, however, a system
will expect character #27.
Tele-Directory Advanced ∙ Backstop
When a backspace is done at the
first column, should Lcom allow
the cursor to go back to the
previous line?
Many times display for a system
will not be exactly right if
Lcom is allowed to do this, but
there are circumstances (usually
systems which leave you in an
operating system) when allowing
a wrap-a-round is convenient.
Line Settings ∙ Save Changes
To exit the Line Settings window
you would normally just press
Enter. Since you pressed escape,
this question is asked to
determine whether or not you
really want to abandon changes
which were made.
Press Y to keep changes or
N to abandon them
Font Style
80x25 and 80x28(VGA) allow you to
also specify a font style

the UP/DOWN arrow keys
Press Enter to select a font

You can also type in part of the
phone number or the memo or most
items in the Telephone Directory
Tele-Directory ∙ Copy, From
Enter the number of the entry to
copy from.
You can use the UP/DOWN arrow keys
to move to the desired entry.
Tele-Directory ∙ Copy, To
Enter the number of the entry to
