Command: EP
Purpose: Edit your system preferences
Available at: All command prompts (>)
The EP command will allow you to customize somewhat your use of a CNet system. Following are descriptions of the available options:
Help level You should choose a setting based on your experience
with CNet. When st to NOVICE, special command "help"
lines are printed before major system prompts. You
should avoid using "super user" as it causes CNet to
SKIP many text files you may yet be unfamiliar with.
Private info Set to Yes, CNet will not allow other users to see
your real name, phone number, address or birthdate.
If this does not bother you, you can set this option
to No.
More? more This allows you to instruct CNet to stop after every
"screen full" of text. A prompt of "More?" will
appear. At this prompt, you can select No to
attempt to abort the text. If you press =, CNet
will stop printing More? until the text has
finished.
Pause bet responses When reading items in the Message base, some users
prefer that CNet automatically pause before each new
response is displayed. This will cause a prompt of
More responses; continue [Yes]? To appear before
each response, instead of automatically reading the
next one.
Xfer protocol This is your default File Transfer Protocol. When you
download, you will be given an option to change at
that time.
Time Zone CNet has the ability to automatically offset ALL
dates and times relative to your time zone difference.
When you logon, CNet will report the time as your
current LOCAL time. All dates printed ANYWHERE while
you are online will be relative to your local time.
Time Format Currently, you may select between AM/PM time
(for example 4:00pm), or 24 hour (military style)
time (for example 16:00).
Mail forward You have the option having your mail automatically
"forwarded" to any other user. When someone
attempts to send you mail, it will instead go to
this other account. The sender will be notified
that this is happening.
Text translation When available, the system may support more than
one text translation. This may consist of
different "looks" for the system, different sets
of commands, or a different language entirely.
Edit MACROS A MACRO is some line of text that is printed as
a result of one keystroke. It is a sort of
"shortcut." You can assign macros to three
control keys, and one special macro, a LOGON
MACRO. The LOGON MACRO should consist of commands
that you would like CNet to execute as soon as you
logon. Use of command stacking is very helpful
here! For example, B;RA will automatically enter
the BASE and Read Grobal New messages. To
represent a carriage return in other macros, use a
` character (on the amiga, just below ESC).
