- -/- About Chat
-
- The chat module is written by Peter Lam. It is a split-screen chat
- with many features. You will undoubtedly find that this is one of
- the best chats you have ever used in a door. A few features
- include:
-
- ■ Full Colour (You can change colour during chat for
- emphasis, etc.)
- ■ KeyWord Macros (You can activate macros by typing a word)
- ■ Sysop Macros (Configurable Alt+0 - Alt+9)
-
- -/- Typeing In Chat
-
- When typing in chat, you may type normally. When you approach the
- right margin, the word you are typing will wrap around. Backspace
- does a destructive backspace and you may backspace onto the
- previous line. Chat accepts extended ascii characters.
-
- -/- Sysop/User Features
-
- The following features may be used by, BOTH, the SysOp and the
- user:
-
- ^ = CTRL = CONTROL
-
- When you see CTRL+Character or ^Character it means to HOLD down
- CONTROL and push the character while you are still holding down
- CONTROL. Any characters or numbers following the control
- character are pushed with CONTROL RELEASED.
-
- ■ CTRL+Y = Clears the Current Line
- ■ CTRL+V = Gives the user help
- ■ CTRL+W = Clears the Current Window
- ■ CTRL+R = Redraws the Screen (USER ONLY)

- ■ CTRL+L = Toggle Lock User Keyboard. If you lock the User's
- keyboard he/she will be unable to type. BE SURE TO REMEMBER IF YOU
- HAVE LOCKED THE USER'S KEYBOARD because the user cannot remind you,
- since he/she cannot type.
- ■ CTRL+S = Switch to User's Window. If this is pressed while you
- are in the SysOp Window, you will be switched to the User's window.
- If this is pressed in the User window, you will be switched into
- the Sysop's Window.
- ■ CTRL+Q = Clear User's Window
-
- -/- Macros
-
- There are two types of macros available in chat, Ctrl-N-1 to Ctrl-N-0,
- these are for SysOp use only and are configurable in the file
- MACROS.TXT and key word macros, these are for both the user and
- they sysop. The keyword macros are configurable in the file
- KEYWORDS.TXT, an example of a keyword macro would be if the keyword
- SBBS was typed then the chat program will backspace out the SBBS
- and write in SuperBBS. See the MACROS.TXT and KEYWORDS.TXT for
- further instruction on how to use them.
