Chat Manager enables you to chat with multiple other users at the
same time and switch to other chats with different subjects and
chatters. It also enables you to download at the same time using
the CMP external protocol.
As you start, you will see a screen listing all chats and their
status. Select a chat by pressing it's key [A, B , C..]
Selecting an empty chat will start a new one. IF the subject wasn't
fixed you will be asked to enter a subject. Then you'll have to wait
until another user decides to join your chat. You could also list
the users present in the BBS and ask or force them to enter Chat
Manager.
Everything you type in your window will be immediatly visible by all
other chatters. Backspace and Enter can be used. Try a little, and
you will get the feeling.
Pressing Escape gives you a menu with some options;
[O] Send a private One-liner, sends a private message to a specific
BBSline within your Chat!
[D] Download, enter filenames (wildcards allowed) of files you would
like to download. Seperate them with spaces. CMP Protocol needed
[C] Cancel Download, only available when a download is in progress
[I] Information display, gives you a review of some data including time
left on BBS, subject of the chat and whether the chat is private.
[N] New subject, allows a subjectchange that will inform possible new
chatters looking for a chat what your (new) subject is.
[T] Toggle private chat, Allow or disallow the admittance of new users
to your chat.
[P] Page the sysop. If this is enabled, you can page the sysop and
if he is at home, he will probably join your chat within a few
moments.
[S] Save as message. This saves all text in your window as a message
to another user. Enter his name very carefully, or he will never
receive the message. Screen is cleared after saving. Use SYSOP
to save it to the Sysop. Below a certain userlevel you will only
be able to write to the sysop and not to other users.
[R] Redraw your screen. Use this if your screen is messy because of a
bad line or something like that.
[E] Empty window, clears your window and relocates your cursor at the
top.
[Q] Quit chatting, return to the BBS
Avatar and Ansi are strongly recommended. Also the use of CMP, the
Chat Manager Protocol is very useful. This protocol can be downloaded
as CMP.ARJ. It enables you to download during chats, hear the sysop's
paging tunes and use Avatar with non-avatar BBS's and communication
programs.
