Command: ET
Purpose: Edit your terminal parameters
Available at: All command prompts (>)
The ET command allows you to tell CNet about the terminal (or terminal program) that you are using. Here's a description of each individual item:
Computer type Your actual computer type.
Graphics set Options are ASCII (just the basic character set), IBM
(a few extra graphics characters), AMIGA International
(a few extra accented letters, etc), SkyPix (same as IBM,
with the additional support of SkyPix graphics), and
Commodore C/G (use this ONLY if you are using a 64 or 128
in a graphics terminal mode).
ANSI support ANSI is an international standard for screen manipulation
(cursor movement, text movement, color changes). If your
terminal supports this, you should select this option to
ON. You know that you DO NOT support this if you see many
[0m[1;34m and the like on your screen. Your terminal must
support ANSI to see any of the special graphics files, and
to use the CNet visual text editor.
Line feeds When some terminals receive a carriage return (0D), they
move the cursor automatically to the NEXT line. In this
case, line feeds are unnecessay, as they will create
double-spacing. In other others, a carriage return only
moves the cursor to the beginning of the SAME line. In this
case, line feeds are REQUIRED.
Screen width The actual number of characters that fit across your screen.
Unless you have a special configuration, this number should be
either 40 or 80. If you use a terminal which uses part of the
screen for a window border or something, you may have to
choose 78 or 79.
Screen hieght The actual number of lines of text from top to bottom of your
screen. Usually, this number is 24. In order to use the ANSI
visual editor from CNet, it MUST be set to 24.
ANSI tabs A 'tab' is every 8th character on the screen. If your
terminal understands this, and will go to the next tab
automatically when it receives a TAB (09), you should set this
option to on. Otherwise, CNet will have to send enough spaces
to get the cursor to move.
ANSI color If you are using a monochrome display, you may wish to set
this option to NO. Some colors may appear to faint to read
without a color display.
