  Command-line parameters
  ------------------------------------------------------------

  RemoteAccess accepts the following command-line parameters:

  -NOEMS  : Forces RemoteAccess to ignore any available EMS.

  -Kpwd   : Lock the local keyboard with a password. The
            password must be correctly entered prior to using
            any ALT-key.

  -L      : Run RemoteAccess in local mode.
  -S      : Set "snoop" mode off; disable local screen.
  -D      : Disable status bar by default.
  -R      : Log user back on-line after a menu type 15 exit.
  -G      : Used with the -R option; forces RemoteAccess to
       {+}  return to the last menu the user was in at the
            time of the previous exit to DOS. The default is
            to return to the TOP menu.
  -P      : Log user activity to printer.
  -Nxx    : Line (node) number in a multi-line system (1-99).
  -Cx     : Communications port to use (1-4).
  -Bxxxxx : Log user on-line at baudrate xxxxx.
  -Exxx   : Exit at errorlevel xxx after caller logs off.
  -Txxx   : Time (in minutes) until next system event.

            NOTE: Some mailers have the capability to generate
            a "standard format" batch file called DOBBS.BAT to
            run the BBS program. In shell-to-mailer mode (see
            below) RemoteAccess will scan this batch file (if
            present) to determine the time until the next
            event.

 -M<f>    : Activate  the "shell to  mailer"  feature.  This
            causes RemoteAccess, upon loading, to execute your
            front-end mailer program in a DOS shell.  When the
            mailer exits,  RemoteAccess detects the errorlevel
            it  would normally pass to the batch-file.  If the
            errorlevel  matches one defined in  RACONFIG,  the
            user  is logged on to the BBS at  the  appropriate
            baud rate.  If the errorlevel is not recognised as
            an  incoming  call,  RemoteAccess   exits  to  its
            batch-file at that errorlevel.  See the BATCH FILE
            EXAMPLES section for more on this feature.

            NOTE:  RemoteAccess  does  the swap by  storing  a
            "swap  file"  in EMS (if available) and  on  disk.
            Normally  this file would be stored in  the system
            directory,   but   it   is   possible   to   force
            RemoteAccess  to  put the file in a  directory  of
            your  choice  by setting  the  RATEMP  environment
            variable.  For  example,  if you executed the  DOS
            command SET RATEMP=E:\TEMP\STORAGE,  then the swap
            file   would  be  placed  in  the  E:\TEMP\STORAGE
            directory.

            In "shell to mailer" mode,  it is possible for two
            errorlevels to conflict. For example, errorlevel 5
            is used by RA to indicate that a user entered both
            net  and  echomail,  and by FrontDoor to  indicate
            modem initialise failure. If the front-end returns
            an   errorlevel  that  conflicts  in   this   way,
            RemoteAccess  will  pass  to the batch  file  that
            errorlevel  plus 10.  So,  if  FrontDoor  returned
            errorlevel   5   because  the  modem   would   not
            initialise,  RemoteAccess would pass errorlevel 15
            to the batch file.                                                                          .
