- UM MOREç
- UM Turns the "More [Y,n,=]?" prompt on or off.
- UM
- UM MORE ON: Opus asks "More [Y,n]?" after displaying the number of
- UM lines equal to your L)ength of screen setting.
- UM

- UM pause the display using CONTROL-S to pause and any other
- UM key to resume the display.
- UM
- UW WIDTHç
- UW Tells Opus how many characters across your monitor can display.
- UW This is taken into consideration for message displays ONLY.
- UW Bulletins, file listings, etc. are always displayed assuming
- UW you have 80 columns. Sorry folks, it's called PROGRESS.
- UW
- UL LENGTH OF SCREENç
- UL Opus will test to see how many lines your screen can hold before
- UL asking you "More [Y,n,=]?". 24 or 25 lines is normal. Of course,
- UL if you have the MORE option set to OFF, this setting really
- UL doesn't matter.
- UL
- UE EXPTABSç
- UE Turns TAB expansion on or off.
- UE
- UE TABS ON: Tabs are sent as tabs. Your terminal software must be able
- UE to handle tabs correctly, or the spacing on your screen will
- UE not look right. Screen output is faster with Tabs ON.
- UE
- UE TABS OFF: Tabs are sent as a sequence of 8 spaces. Slower, but
- UE more reliable. Try it both ways and see which works best.
- UE
- UN NULLSç

- UV
- UV The choices are:
- UV

- UV ÄAç)nsi Graphics (VT100 Emulation)
- UV ÄOç)pus Mode (AVATAR Video)
- UV
- UV If the word REDç on this line is highlighted or
- UV in color, then your computer understands ANSI graphics commands.
- UV Keep GRAPHICS ON. If, however, you see something like [31;1mRED above,
- UV then your computer is ignoring the ANSI commands. Keep Plain Video Mode.
- UV
- UV AVATAR Video requires the use of either George Stanislav's
- UV TinyTerm program, Colin Sampaleanu's Telix, John Friel's
- UV Qmodem, Ralf Brown's RBCOMM, or FrontDoor's Terminal Mode.

- US
- UF FULL-SCREEN EDITORç
- UF Opus is now pioneering the concept of the first BBS full-screen
- UF editor. It allows you to enter messages using arrow keys, etc.,
- UF just like a word processor. If you turn OFF the F)ull-scrn editor,
- UF you will use the LORE (line-oriented editor), the more orthodox
- UF method. You must have S)creen clear and ANSI or AVATAR emulation ON
- UF to use the Opus Full-screen editor.
- UF
- UI IBM GRAPHICSç
