==================== Monitor Help File ======================
The MONITOR option tailors the visual output to your
computer. Sometimes the choice is yours; other times, your
computer type dictates the type of graphics you can choose.
PowerBBS offers you three graphics choices:
[C]olor, [M]onochrome, or [N]one
N)one means that you want only typeable text, like this
sentence. Menus will display faster since no time is needed to build
graphics on your screen.
A)scii: Ascii graphics uses all 255 characters in the IBM
character set. Most IBM PC compatible systems can properly
receive ASCII graphics. Your system supports the IBM PC
character set if you see characters such as the heart and
straight line ═══.
C)olor: C)olor graphics uses all 255 IBM characters and the
ANSI screen commands to provide color and sound effects and
music. For this to work properly your communications package
must support ANSI, such as Telix/Qmodem.
Your system supports ANSI screen commands if this
blinks in green
.
You can change your graphics at any time in the future by
typing U at the Main MENU and selecting J.
