4.4.5 Terminal
Miscellaneous
Init An additional modem initialization string,
sent to the modem as soon as the Terminal is
started. If you start the Terminal directly
from DOS (FD /T) or have set the
Terminal-only option in FDSETUP, the Mailer's
initialization strings are first sent to the
modem.
Download Default download path. Files that you receive
(download) during a Terminal session will by
default end up here.
Upload Default upload path.
Editor Allows you to install an Editor or file
listing program and invoke it from the
Terminal. The Terminal will prompt your for
optional parameters, such as filenames, etc.
This can also be used to invoke external
protocols or external protocol menu programs.
Protocol Zmodem, Telink, or Xmodem. Defines the
default transfer protocol to use for file
transfers in the Terminal. While SEAlink is
an available protocol in the Terminal, it
cannot be set as the default protocol in
FDSETUP.
Emulation ANSI, TTY, VT100 or VT52. Defines the default
Terminal emulation protocol to use in the
Terminal. Note that the Terminal's ANSI
protocol supports the AVATAR (AVT/0)
emulation protocol.
Avatar Allows you to disable the support for AVATAR
sequences in ANSI emulation. This can be
toggled from within the Terminal.
Buffer The size, in KB, of the scroll-back buffer.
Connect noise
Whether or not the Terminal should make noise
when a connection has been established.
Transfer noise
Whether or not the Terminal should make noise
after file transfers.
Use tables Whether or not the Terminal translation
tables should be active by default. See
Editor.Xlat In for a detailed explanation of
translation tables.
Auto Zmodem
Whether or not the automatic Zmodem download
(receive) function should be enabled by
default.
Local echo Whether or not the Terminal should echo typed
characters to your screen by default.
Wrap around
Whether or not the Terminal should move the
cursor to the beginning of a new line when it
reaches the end of the previous line.
Delay Number of seconds to wait between outgoing
calls if the number you dialed was busy or
did not answer. If there is more than one
entry in the dial queue, the delay is ignored
and the Terminal proceeds to the next number
in the queue.
Logging Allows you to enable logging of file
transfers, dialed numbers, and time spent on-
line to systems. Similar to the Mailer's (FD)
log output.
This is not available in the noncommercial
version.
Display

25 25 line mode.
43/50
43/50 line mode. Only available for systems
with EGA and VGA cards.

automatically adapt to whatever the current
screen size is when it is are started. This
also means that the Terminal will not attempt
to reset the screen mode when it is
terminated.
Custom
Allows you to specify computer register
values to send to the INT 10h (Video BIOS) to
set and reset the screen.
This is not available in the noncommercial
