 ^hCalculate costs^n

  Allow cost calculation. If you do not need any cost calculation at all,
  simply toggle this off. Cost management will be used when calling from the
  phonebook, manually, or with the pointsystem.
  When calling an entry from the phonebook, the costs for that entry will be
  saved in the entry. When you use manual dialing or the pointsystem for
  dialling, the costs will be saved inside entry 0 (manual record) in the
  phonebook. Press ^hShift+Esc^n to get current information on which cost 
  amount was selected from the costfile.

 ^hCost file 1^n  ^hCost file 2^n  ^hCost file 3^n

  Name of the cost file: first the utility directory will be searched, then
  the Terminate directory. You can define 3 different costfiles that can
  be connected to a device. So in the phonebook you can select a different
  device which uses another costfile. This is useful in some cases where
  you use ISDN and normal phonelines on the same machine, for example.

 ^hShow at connect^n

  Show information on costs on screen at connect time.

 ^hShow costs after^n

  When the carrier drops, show information on what the phone company made 
  from your call. If you like to call systems and hate knowing how much
  poorer you are afterwards, you should surely turn this off...

 ^hStart at once^n

  There should be some kind of international agreement between phone
  companies so that you do not pay anything before the other end has picked
  up the phone (no charge for busy calls), but since you never know when the
  phone companies change their policy you should always aim for worst case
  and just start calculating at once, then when you get the bill you might
  not hang yourself anyway.

 ^hCurrency string^n

  The currency string will normally be grabbed from your COUNTRY.SYS, if you
  had it installed the first time you ran Terminate (or a $).
  It will be shown in all menus where costs are mentioned.

 ^hDecimalpoint^n

  The decimal point is important if you want the correct number printed
  on the screen.

   0  1000
   1  100,0
   2  10,00
   3  1,000

  Most currencies will use 2 here, but some countries do not use a decimal
  point. This information is also grabbed from COUNTRY.SYS

 ^hPay by period^n

  Some phone companies use a rate per minute and some want payment for
  several minutes in advance.
  A zero here will make Terminate choose the units/minute mode.
  This means that every minute the rate will be added to cost used.
  Any other number will make Terminate act in the period mode.
  The number here defines how many units to add for each period.
  How long the period is, is then defined for each cost entry.

 ^hMax costs^n

  After a maximum cost has been exceeded, a window will pop up on screen and
  ask you if you want to hangup. Enter a 0 if you do not want this option
  (for example if your company is paying.)

 ^hMax costs per day^n

  If you define an amount here, Terminate will inform you if your daily 
  budget has been was exceeded. This should keep you from spending any more 
  money. Entering a 0 will disable the feature.

  ^hPhone #^n

   The cost file is a sequential file that is read from the start and one
   line forward at a time. When it finds a match it stops looking for
   more. This means that you must place longer numbers first like this:

    1 : 4362
    2 : 43

   If the number is 4362 it will return entry 1, a 439999 will give entry 2.

    1 : 43
    2 : 4362

   The above setting is wrong, because it will allways return entry 1.

  ^hDays:MTWTFSS^n

   Each cost entry can be defined only to be available on some days in
   the week. Here in Denmark the complete Sunday is half price.
   Press 1-7 to toggle monday-sunday.

  ^hHours^n

   You can also define special hours each day the cost entry will be
   available. In Denmark we only pay half price after 19:30 and until
   8:00 in the morning.

  ^hCosts in units/minute / Add Y units every X second^n

   Enter cost for entry or how many seconds the period lasts.

  ^hStart^n

   Some phone companies have some kind of penalty for using the phone
   and want you to pay a punishment start fee, but you could also use
   this entry for adjusting the seconds when connecting.

  ^hConnect^n

   When you get the connect using the dialer, voice-calls or mail-calls
   you can add this value to the start value only when getting the connect.
   Mostly used for adjusting the phonecalls, but also useful if some
   services have an additional penalty for calling.

 ^hExternal editor^n

  Since the internal editor only allows you to edit 500 entries, you can use
  your external editor instead. If you need to copy several lines or other
  things it could also be faster to use the external editor.

 ^h2. currency string^n

  Used for displaying the secondary currency.

 ^h2. currency calc.^n

  Use a zero to disable this feature.

  For calculating the secondary currency you need to know how many percent
  you need to multiply with for getting the value.

  For calculating you need the latest rate of exchange on the currency you
  want. Lets say you want to use DKK (Danish Crowns) and USD (US-Dollars)
  as secondary currency.

  You need to find out how much you would have to pay for 1000 USD.
  When this document was written the rate of exchange was:
  1000 USD = 6730 DKK.

  To calculate the value:  1000 USD * 1000 / 6730 DKK = 148 (14,8%)
  The number you must enter is 148.

  An other example would be if you want the secondary currency in DKK
  and the normal currency in USD.

  You need to find out how much you would have to pay for 1000 DKK.
  At the present time 1000 DKK = 148 USD.

  To calculate the value:  1000 DKK * 1000 / 148 USD = 6756 (675,6%)
  The number you must enter is 6756.

 ^h2. calculator^n

  Helps you to calculate the above. You just need to know how much you
  would pay for a 1000 of the secondary currency.
