 PAGESTAT() (BOOLEAN)

 Function
  Determine if the current user has paged the SysOp.

 Syntax
  PAGESTAT()   No arguments are required

 Return Type & Value
  BOOLEAN
  Returns TRUE if the user has paged the SysOp (or PAGEON has been issued),
  FALSE otherwise (or PAGEOFF has been issued).

 Remarks
  One of the features of PCBoard where change is often requested is the
  operator page facility.  Some people want to be able to configure
  multiple ranges of availability per day, some want a different sounding
  page bell, longer or shorter page attempts, etc, etc.  This function,
  along with the CHAT, PAGEON and PAGEOFF statements, allow you to
  implement an operator page in any way desired.

 Examples
  IF (PAGESTAT()) THEN
    PRINTLN "You have already paged the SysOp,"
    PRINTLN "please be patient."
  ELSE
    PAGEON
    PRINTLN "The SysOp has been paged, continue"
  ENDIF
