10.6 Phone directory <Alt-P>
The phone directory allows you to define up to 200 (400 in the
commercial version) numbers in addition to those stored in the
nodelist database. The Terminal keeps the internal phone
directory in a file named TERMPHON.FD, which is located in the
SYSTEM directory.
The top menu in the phone directory has nine options.
<F1>
Clear queue Removes the queue (Q) status from all entries in
the phone directory. If no entries are listed in
the queue, no action is taken.
<F2>
<Enter>
Dial Adds the current (highlighted) number to the
queue and proceeds to the dial function. If no
connection is made, the Terminal will proceed to
the next number in the queue. If no other numbers
exists in the queue, the Terminal will wait the
defined (in FDSETUP) number of seconds before
trying again. You can abort dialing by pressing
<Esc>.
<F4>
Edit existing entry
Allows you to change an existing entry.
<F6>
Purge Removes all entries marked for deletion (small
square) from the phone directory. There is no way
to recover a removed entry, so use this option
with caution.
<F7>
<Space>
Toggle queue status
Adds/removes the current (highlighted) number to
the queue.
<F8>
Sort/Purge This option is similar to the PURGE option with
one difference. It will sort the phone directory
in ascending order, based on the name field.
<Ins>
Add entry Allows you to add a new entry to the phone
directory.
<Del>
Mark for deletion
Marks an entry for deletion (small square). No
other action is taken. You must use the <F6> or
<F8> function to remove entries marked for
deletion.
