(C) Copyright 1992 by Jason Fesler. All rights reserved. *Warning* This BBS software is like nothing you've ever used before... WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page ii THANKS... A few thank-yous are in order. Without the help and support that I have been given, WME would never have gotten off the ground, and life would remain normal for the rest of the modeming world. The most important thank-you goes to my new wife, Danaë, who has given me much moral support and kicked me in the butt more than once to keep struggling. Thank you for putting up with such a temperamental beast when struggling with WME. I also need to say thank-you to Doug Langley. He's been the one that could help spot errors (real or potential), and offer realistic solutions to problems. He's been able to find code that practically doesn't exist. He's probably managed to put in enough hours helping WME along to put a payroll clerk into cardiac arrest. Another huge thank-you must be given to Dan Brown, his wife Lucille, and his son Israel. For over a year, this author was given sanctuary at their home, giving me a dry place to sleep, an occasional warm meal, and a loan of their AT to work on WME. How they could put up with me, I'll never know (grin). Let's up we all make it to Colorado, Dan - before California slips into either the ocean or it's politics! (Yes, it's a confirmed rumor that SSI is ran by a bunch of Greys performing more experiments on human beings!) (Please, folks DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!) Thanks must go to Chris Yeager, who has put in major money in terms of hardware to make sure that I can keep working on WME when I moved out from Dan's. We've gone through more network cards and motherboards... Thanks to all of my beta testers, many who also put many hours into dissecting WME, tweaking it, prodding it, making it fail, and making it sail... In no particular order, they are: Adam Bonner Doug Langley Ron Bouthillier Paul Lewman Dan Brown Bill Pantoja Andy Hald Joshua Penix Eric Hubbard Steve Proctor Neal Krummell Chris Yeager Steve Lamb John Young WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page iii Table of Contents DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 INTRODUCTION . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 WME'S LIMITS & REQUIREMENTS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 REQUIREMENTS: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 INSTALLING WME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 ESTABLISHING AN ACCOUNT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 STARTING WME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 Options . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 ONLINE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 BAUD:xxxx . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 LOCAL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 CONFIG . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 80x25 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 NODE:name . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 EVENT:nn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 SAMPLE BATCH FILES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 MULTINODE SETUP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 WARNING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 NEVER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 CONFIG - System Configuration Menu . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Register . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 BBS Name . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Sysop Name . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Location . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Primary Phone number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Secondary phone number . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Serial Number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Key1, Key2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Node Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Default Origin Line . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 General . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Sounds/Chat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Swapping . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 Video . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Message Base . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 Optimizations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 IEMSI Logins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 IEMSI Debugging . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 Hide configuration mode . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 Use EMS for Overlays . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 "Loading" Message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 Sleepy Users . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 #SYSOP Command Keys . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page iv Paths . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Doors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Archivers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Image Path . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Menu Path . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 .BIN Path . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 Hudson Message Base Path . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Conference Path . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Front Door Path . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 InterMail Path . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Default Upload Base . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Force Uploads to Default Base . . . . . . . . . . 16 Editors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit Menus . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit Macros . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit Groups & Alias Files . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit Users (fully multinode aware!) . . . . . . . 16 Edit the Message Base Config . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit the File Base Config . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit File Descriptions . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Edit External Transfer Protocols . . . . . . . . 16 Edit Defaults for New Users . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Modem . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 COM/Fossil Port . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Baud Rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Lock Baud Rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Initialization String . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 Ring Detected, Answer Command . . . . . . . . . . 17 Time to Wait for Connect . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 CONNECT 300 ...

If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute he software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of WME must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "WME is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of WME." WME is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using WME and continue to use WME after a reasonable trial period (such as 30 days), you must make a registration payment of $45.00 to Jason Fesler. The $45.00 registration fee will license up to 5 copies for use at any one time. If you wish to run more than 5 copies at WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 2 one time, you can register additional copies at $45.00 per 5 copies. Commercial users of WME must register and pay for their copies of WME within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Commercial users may register for a specific number of nodes, or a site-license arrangement may be made by contacting Jason Fesler. The registration fee will register you for all minor upgrades, as well as the next major upgrade and it's minor upgrades. For example, registering version 1.00 of WME will also register you for all versions of WME up to version 2.99. Anyone distributing WME for any kind of remuneration must first contact Jason Fesler at the address below for authorization. This includes charging for the service of copying any media, and also includes charging for the media itself. This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering WME immediately (However Jason Fesler must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of WME.). You are NOT authorized to put WME on a CD-ROM without the express written consent of Jason Fesler. You are encouraged to pass a copy of WME along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of the WME system. (Thanks to Paul Mayer for the general framework of the definition of Shareware!) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 3 INTRODUCTION Welcome to this release of Windowed Modem Environment (WME)! WME is the beginning of a totally new approach to BBS programs. Instead of relying on text scrolling, lists, and normal menus, WME uses the capabilities of the ANSI or Avatar driver. (VT-100 is also directly supported, and future terminal expansion is also possible..) A user on WME uses his cursor keys to move a menu bar to the option he wants. Everything is given to him in a full-screen environment - 100% hotkeyed, so that experienced users do not have to wait on the modem. You can create your own menus, using over 100 menu commands. You can base security on levels, flags, or groups. The file section allows for true file-tagging - point to the file, toggle it, and download. File ratios - on a per-person level. Each area is protected by security level, flags, and group settings. External protocols are used, so adding your own is a cinch! Users have a lot of flexibility in message areas as well. An internal full screen editor is used. The "Area" command only shows areas with unread messages. (There is an optional "Goto" command that shows _all_ areas). Users can create their own message base. Users can also have multiple handles or aliases, with the appropriate alias being used in each base. Personal mail scans will also catch mail to each of their aliases. The current version of WME uses the Hudson Message Base format for wide compatibility with echomail utilities such as FastEcho, Fmail, Gecho, Qecho, and others. All of the sysop utilities are built into the BBS - menu editor, user editor, configuration, etc. Everything can be set up locally, or can be configured from remote just as easily. For help, you can either use the "WME" echo (on the net 203 backbone.. help us put it on the national backbone!), or by calling.. WME Online! Support BBS 916-483-8486 9600 v32/v42b FidoNet 1:203/7707 916-973-0477 9600 v32/v42b FidoNet 1:203/8055 916-487-3915 9600 v32/v42b WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 4 WME'S LIMITS & REQUIREMENTS WME is a very versatile and manipulable BBS system, designed to be easy for both the common user, and for the sysop. WME allows "layering" one command over another (example: requesting or jumping into chat while in the file base, or going to the user setup to change video options while in the message base). However, WME requires one major commodity for this flexibility and for it's GUI environment: memory. WME takes it's own measures to try and reduce memory. Many of WME's features are overlaid, and only loaded when necessary. (Only half of WME.EXE actually remains in memory at any given time). Most of WME's messages and prompts are in an external file, which will later become a language file. File bases and message bases are only loaded a page at a time. When saving the screen to put new windows up, I save the screen to disk instead of memory. When running other programs, WME swaps all but 5k of itself to EMS/XMS or disk. Using all of these tricks has resulted in WME needing about 350k less memory than it would have otherwise. WME can actually still run on a 640k XT system. Even with all of these tricks, WME is still memory intensive. Menus take up memory... anywhere from 5k to 64k, depending on the size of the menu. Certain functions take up considerable memory, such as the menu editor, and the message base functions. To monitor how much free memory you have, you can use the "INFO" command. If you have not changed the default hot keys, this key is Alt-I. It will tell you how much "Stack Space" and "Core Space" you have left. "Core Space" is the important one to watch - you will start getting warnings when you have only 45k of core space left. When you have less than 20k, hot keys will automaticly disable themselves. There are a couple of options you have to help reduce memory requirements. One is to not nest your menus so deep. If you are using a small message base, check out the message base options.. and reduce the amount of memory that WME will allocate for the index. By default, enough memory for 10,000 messages is allocated (and takes up 30,000 bytes of memory). Also, remove any unnecessary TSR programs and device drivers that you are running. I personally don't even run ANSI.SYS - the BBS does not require it. REQUIREMENTS: You'll need... o DOS 3.3 or higher (Get out of the stone age, people!) (Stay away from Dos 4.0 - it's pretty buggy!) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 5 o 510k conventional ram (You can squeak by with a little less, but I suggest keeping 510k free before loading WME if at all possible..) o A couple of megs of free disk space before installation o A meg of work disk space after installation is a good idea o For 9600+ baud operation: 8mhz 286 or better o For 2400 baud operation: 8mhz "XT" system or better o For Local-Only Usage (such as a office LAN menu) almost any speed system will work.. o A Fossil Driver (such as X00 or BNU) to handle your modem o DOS experience - must be comfortable with the idea of making batch files. If not, better get some help! Every BBS system requires DOS experience - not just WME. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 6 INSTALLING WME WME is a self-contained program. It will create all files needed for basic operation. To install WME for the first time, follow the steps below: 1. Create a directory for WME and its files. "C:\WME" is the suggested directory name, however valid directory name will work. 2. Decompress the WME archive file into the directory created in step 1. (Registered users: Also copy the "WME_KEY.BAT" file into that directory.) 3. (Registered users only) Run the .BAT file to register your beta copy. For example: WME_KEY WME.CFG After following the above steps, WME should be ready to be run for the first time. Upon the first execution, you will need to establish your Sysop account, and create the TOP menu. Loading the software To execute WME in local mode (for sysop interaction), type WME LOCAL at the command line. If you have a VGA monitor and you want to force 25 line mode (50 line mode is WME's default), type WME LOCAL 80X25 Once WME is correctly loaded, it will display a copyright screen and ask the user to press any key. Press <ENTER> to continue. ESTABLISHING AN ACCOUNT At the login prompt, log in with the name you wish to have for the sysop account. Follow the prompts and enter the information as requested by WME. After all the information is correct, use the cursor keys to highlight the 'All Done!' selector and press <ENTER>. WME will save the user account, perform the standard mail check, and load the TOP menu (if it exists). If the TOP menu does not exist, WME will tell you as such, and ask if you want to make a new one. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 7 At this point, type 'ALT-E' to edit the current user (yourself). To make yourself a sysop, highlight the security option in the user editor. Hit Enter. Set your flags and security accordingly. (You can set WME to use any security levels that you find suitable. For now, set yourself to level 65535 (the max), and set the A..Z flags on. 1..6 are reserved by WME.) Next, the option that says "not a sysop" hit space bar to toggle it to permanent sysop.then, select the privileges menu. Set all the privileges that you wish to have active for your sysop account. All privileges are toggled by the space bar. Hit ESC a couple of times to exit the user editor. Note: At this point, you may wish to pres 'alt-o' and enter the system config. Change the options to your liking. If you need help on a particular item refer to 'system config' later in this manual. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 8 STARTING WME Starting WME is fairly simple: WME [options ... ... ..] Options are: ONLINE Specifies that a caller is already on the modem. Use this if you have no way of telling WME what baud rate the caller is calling with. BAUD:xxxx Specifies baud rate that the caller is online at xxxx baud. Implies "ONLINE". If the baud rate is 0, WME assumes local-only mode. LOCAL WME assumes local mode (no modem needed) CONFIG WME will assume local mode, and go straight to the system configuration menu. 80x25 Tells WME to use 25 line mode. Normally, WME will attempt to use 43 or 50 line mode (EGA/VGA). NODE:name Specifies the name of the node to be ran. name can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters. See MULTINODE for important details. EVENT:nn Tells WME that there is a system event in nn minutes. SAMPLE BATCH FILES If you are running WME stand-alone (no front-end mailer), then you will need to make a batch file to run WME. Make sure you tell WME your COM port and communications information with WME's setup menu. WME will always exit after every caller. This is to reset WME's environment, and is mandatory. WME will normally exit with an errorlevel 0 if the caller hangs up or gets hung up. If you tell WME to quit while it is waiting for a caller, it will exit with an errorlevel of 255. Here is a sample... ECHO OFF :Loop C: CD \WME WME IF ErrorLevel 255 Goto Quit WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 9 Goto Loop :Quit If you are running WME with a mailer, such as Front Door, you will need to make a batch file to load and run WME. If you are using the EXEBBS batch file method, the following would work: REM EXAMPLE EXEBBS.BAT C: CD \WME WME BAUD:%1 EVENT:%3 REM CHECK TO SEE IF THE USER WROTE ECHOMAIL. IF SO, REM USE OUR ECHOMAIL UTILITIES TO SEND IT OUT. IF EXIST ECHOMAIL.BBS GECHO SCAN RUNFD Note, your actual mileage may vary. If all else fails, RTFM. Check your docs for your mailer, as well as for your echomail handler, for details. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 10 MULTINODE SETUP WME is a multinode system (as opposed to a multiline system). Multiline systems have the advantage of being able to run multiple phone lines off of the same hardware/software, such as TBBS. Their disadvantage is that they can not handle the wide variety of door games, nor can they shell to DOS. WME fully supports multinode use, including the ability to send messages and commands to other nodes online, conferencing, and editing of users on remote nodes, run door games, etc. *** CAUTION / WARNING / LISTEN UP! *** Make sure that Dos's SHARE program (see your Dos manuals) is loaded before attempting to run WME in multinode mode. If you do not have share loaded, and you attempt to run more than one node at a time, you may damage your files beyond repair!!! To use WME in a multinode setup, you MUST make WME.EXE a read- only file. This is to prevent sharing problems with the network or task switching software that you use. To do this, use the DOS "attrib" program: C> attrib +r wme.exe Each node of WME that you start up must have it's own unique name. Each name may be up to 8 characters long. Do not use wild cards, punctuation marks, slashes, etc. (LINE1, LOCAL, and 483-8486 are good names, whereas STAR*BBS is not.) To run WME multinode, specify the "NODENAME=xxxx" parameter when you start WME (where xxxxx is the name of that particular node). ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ NEVER run two nodes at the same time with the same │ │ name, unless you are truly into sadomasochism! │ │ One node will severely interfere with the files of │ │ the other node when the same name is used. │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ An example of loading up the node "LINE2" would be WME NODENAME=LINE2 WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 11 CONFIG - System Configuration Menu The system configuration is where you setup all the specifics of your system such as paths, swapping, chat options and many other things which will be described below. You can enter config mode by hitting Alt-O from inside the BBS. If you are at dos, type "WME CONFIG" or "WME NODE=nodename CONFIG" (for multinode setup) Each menu, and it's options, are described below. Register This is where you fill in the information for your bbs such as the BBS name, and serial number. All of the options will be described below. All registration information IS CASE SENSITIVE - if your key is capitalized, make sure you type it in capitalized. If it's lower case, make sure you type it in lower case. Note: Your registration information (except for the key) is shown to users at login. If you are using someone else's key, it will be readily apparent, as their name, their BBS name, and their phone number will be listed. BBS Name This Is where you type in the name of your bbs. This name is case sensitive so make sure you type it correctly or Your Key *WILL_NOT_WORK* Sysop Name This is where you put your name or the Name you are registering WME with. Watch out for capitals, periods, and spelling. This field is Case sensitive. If this is not filled in correctly, your key *WILL_NOT_WORK* Location This field is optional; it's use is limited. It is used by WME for Doors and for IEMSI automated login. Primary Phone number This is the Main phone number for your system. Your Key is generated from this phone number so, make sure it is correct. Secondary phone number This is an alternate phone number for your system. A use for this is if you have a second node with another phone number and you want it shown to the user when they login. 77 Serial Number WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 12 This is the Serial number that is given to you with your Key. Leave this alone if you don't have your key. Key1, Key2 This is where you type in your key information. Both keys must be present. When your key information has been entered, you will see a "Thank You" screen if everything is correct. Node Address If you are going to be part of an echomail network, such as FidoNet, EggNet, CalNet, etc, you will need to enter your complete network address here. Be sure to include zone and point information if applicable. Default Origin Line All messages entered in an echomail network must have an "origin" line, that shows where the message came from. Some sysops elect to have additional information, such as their BBS name, slogan, or other comment listed as well. General This menu contains a ton of miscellaneous options that have no better place to be in the configuration file. Sounds/Chat controls various sound options Quiet Mode turns the speaker on/off globally for the entire BBS Chat Avail.? controls whether or not you are available Chat Ask Why? If set, users will be asked why they want to chat with the sysop Chat Noise notes or music file to play (see "PLAY") for the chat request Chat Reminder controls how often WME reminds you that a user is waiting for chat. 0=no reminder. Reminder Noise notes or music file (see "PLAY") Alert! Noise notes or music file (see "PLAY") User Online notes or music file (see "PLAY") Sysop Next notes or music file (see "PLAY") File Xfr Done notes or music file (see "PLAY") Swapping - controls how WME swaps to disk Use EMS - on/off Use XMS - on/off Use Extended - on/off Swap Path must be set to the directory where you want swap files to be, for when there is not enough EMS/XMS/EXT memory for the swap. WME WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 13 will create a 600k+ copy of itself to disk, swap out, and reload itself when done. Video - controls various video options Monochromization - if the user is monochrome, do you want the local side in mono as well? (Better to leave it color unless you can't see..) Thresh Hold - This controls the maximum number of bytes that can be in the fossil buffer at any given time. If it is too small, it slows WME down, if it is too big, it slows the response down. Send Length - maximum bytes to send per scan (same rules as above) BIOS Writes - if you are a blind sysop, you can have WME send selected portions of the video via BIOS writes, and allow your speech card to speak. Also, full cursor tracking is implemented in WME. Message Base - various options Location - directory where you want your Hudson Message Base. Size - the maximum number of messages that you expect to have in the message base. Range: 500-20000. Default: 10000. Extra space is allocated if you define a larger base size (3k per 1000 messages). "Area" sorting - when the user wants an "area" list in the message base, do you want WME to sort it alphabetically? Bases - MsgBase configuration for each base Optimizations - various optimizing options go here.. Status Bar - controls how often the status bar is updated. The status bar will always be drawn at least once a second. The number specified is a "priority" number, where 1 is highest priority to get the status bar drawn constantly. (Default: 4) Node Updates - controls how often WME will "talk" to other WME nodes. WME will look for commands and messages from other nodes. This number is in terms of idle clock ticks (18 ticks / second). Default is 18, which is ever 2 seconds. If you are not going to run multinode, you can set it to "0". (I would only increase the time on _SLOW_ hard drives..) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 14 Conference Updates - controls how often WME will talk in the conference. This has a separate control that NODE UPDATES, as users generally want the conversation to go as fast as possible. This is also in terms of idle clock ticks. Default: 12 (every 2/3rds of a second). Idle when Buffer Full - if you are running a multitasker, this will tell WME to report that it is idle when the modem buffer is full, to allow other programs a little bit more power. Idle when Screen Done - if you are running a multitasker, this will tell WME to report that it is idle when there is no more video to send, to allow other programs a little bit more power. IEMSI Logins - Controls whether or not you wish to allow IEMSI automated logins. IEMSI Debugging - controls whether or not WME will log the full IEMSI handshaking information. Hide configuration mode This option tells WME Whether to show the user online the system configuration menus. If enabled, WME will not allow the remote user see what you are doing in config. If not enabled, the user can follow and interact as well as the sysop. Note, if the remote user is the one that activates system config, this option is automaticly disabled, allowing the remote user to do remote maintenance. Use EMS for Overlays - yes/no. Will speed up WME's operations when switching from one task to another. "Loading" Message - when WME runs other programs, it will warn the user that it may take a moment before the other program is loaded. You can change the default message to one of your choosing. Sleepy Users - This will automaticly log people off who walk away from their computer for too long. By default, they are warned after 90 seconds, and have 30 seconds to respond. If there is still no response, they are automaticly logged off under the assumption that they are no longer at their computer. #SYSOP Command Keys - WME will automaticly run the #SYSOP command (which allows you to manually run commands if you know their names from the status bar) whenever you hold down Shift-Alt-Ctrl on the left side of the keyboard. If these WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 15 keys conflict with other software, you can change the keys that WME will look for. Paths - This section tells WME where you wish to locate it's various files. Doors - This menu allows you to tell WME where to locate it's door information files. By default, WME will not create door information. You must specifically tell WME where and what type to make. DorInfo#.Def - This is often used by doors made for QuickBBS and it's clones. The "#" should be replaced by a node number. Example: C:\WME\DORINFO1.DEF Door.Sys Name/Location- where do you want DOOR.SYS put - ie C:\WME\DOOR.SYS. Door.Sys Node# - what node number do you want WME to report as (example: 1) Archivers - WME has the ability to "VIEW" an archive file, and show the user the contents of it. WME directly calls up the archiver, gives the archiver the name of the file, and requests the directory. Afterwards, it is shown to the user. WME must be told the names of the various archivers you plan to support. Defaults are included, and new ones can be added. Here are suggested defaults: .ARC - pkunpak -v .ARJ - arj l .ZIP - pkunzip -v .PAK - pak v .SDN - sdnv l .LZH - lha .ZOO - zoo -view Image Path - Where do you want WME's .IMG file located? Putting this to a ram drive will speed WME up tremendously. Make sure you have room for the file to grow to about 100k. Menu Path - where do you want to keep .MNU files? Putting this to ram drive, and copying your .MNU files to the ram drive, can also speed things up, but is not as important as the Image Path. .BIN Path - where do you want your background screens located? (See PICTURES for information on how to make the backgrounds.) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 16 Hudson Message Base Path - where do you want to keep your msg base? Conference Path - where do you want conference messages placed? Putting this to a ramdrive will REALLY help conferencing. Note, ALL NODES must have the SAME conference path! Front Door Path - If you are running Front Door, you can tell WME to update the LASTCALL.FD file. Simply specify the directory where you keep it. InterMail Path - Same as Front Door. Default Upload Base - You can specify where you want uploads to go. When a user does not have the security to upload directly to the base, or when you have Forced Uploads to Default Base turned on, WME will send the upload to the default base. Force Uploads to Default Base - If you want ALL uploads to go to the upload base, regardless of the caller's security, set this option ON. Editors All of WME's editors are grouped together for easy access. From this menu you can: Edit Menus Edit Macros Edit Groups & Alias Files Edit Users (fully multinode aware!) Edit the Message Base Config Edit the File Base Config Edit File Descriptions Edit External Transfer Protocols Edit Defaults for New Users Modem This allows you to enter your modem information into WME. Note, a "FOSSIL" driver is absolutely required to run WME with a modem. BNU and X00 are two good programs that fill that requirement. (A fossil driver allows programs to talk to the modem, even for many non-standard computers.) COM/Fossil Port - Enter your port information here. Baud Rate - Enter your maximum baud rate. (19200 or 38400 is used for most 9600, 14400, and 16800 modems. See next option!) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 17 Lock Baud Rate- yes/no, set to YES for most 9600-baud and above modems. Set to NO for most 2400 baud modems. Initialization String - Enter the initialization string to set your modem. "|" is translated as a carriage return. Be sure that your auto-answer is turned OFF ( S0=0 ), unless you do not use the "Ring Detected, Answer Command". Example: ATZ| or ATS0=0M0| Ring Detected, Answer Command - command used to answer the phone. Default: ATA| If your modem is set to auto-answer, make sure this entry is blank, otherwise the modem will answer and hang up every time! Time to Wait for Connect - how long should WME wait for a "CONNECT" message. Default: 60 seconds CONNECT 300 ... CONNECT 115200, NO CARRIER .. WME needs to know what to expect from the modem when it connects to properly figure out what baud rate to use. Most people can use the defaults. Colors You can change most of WME's default colors.. Each option will prompt you for a number. If you happen to know the color's number (I never do!), you can enter it in directly. Otherwise, just hit [Enter], and a color menu will pop-up. (The color menu will also speak the colors for sysops using speech software...) Status Bar - Allows you to change the colors of the status bars. Please, make the top one halfway visible and appealing - the user has to see it also! Editor - Changes the colors of the message editor and reader. Title - Title color of boxes Border - border color of boxes Text - normal text colors Kludge - colors of "kludge" lines (from echomail, normally hidden from the user..) Quoting - color to make quoted messages Tag lines/Origins - color for "... Quotes" and origin lines from other systems Flags - color to make the flags such as "Private" and "Sent" Shell (Defaults) - Change global shell colors WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 18 Macro, File, Mail, Personal Mail, User Edit, Menu Edit, Verb Edit, Phrase Edit Shells - Changes the colors for the specific shells. "0" for any value tells WME to use the default shell color instead. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 19 THE USER EDITOR One WME's greatest features is that it's utilities are built into the BBS, so that you may edit your configuration online, either locally or remotely, with the greatest of ease. This feature includes the User Editor. You can edit any user, even if you are calling from remote. It is fully multi-node aware, so that you may edit users that are currently online, even on other nodes. (If they are performing a file transfer or running a door, their user record will be loaded into their node's memory as soon as they return.) By default, Alt-U will take you to the user editor. Here is an explanation of what's in the user editor... Edit This command allows you to edit the user that the cursor is on. User Name: The user's login name. City: where they are from Home Phone#: Must be in U.S. format; if it is not a U.S. phone number, the user/sysop may start it with "011" and the input field will change to allow phone numbers from other countries. Data Phone#: Same as above. Password: Normally hidden; reqiured for the user to login to the BBS. Security: Level Pick a number from 1 .. 65535 Flags You can also set security by flags - ie, allow only users with the "F" flag access to the files section. You may use any flag from A..Z. The 1..6 flags are reserved by WME. See PCR. Privileges Write Privs Allow/Disallow Writing Messages Write (Echos) Allow/Disallow Writing in Echomail Message Areas Create Area Allow/Disallow the user to create new areas Page Sysop Allow/Disallow the user to page the sysop (set to NO for twits!) Page Anytime Allow/Disallow the user to page the sysop, even when the sysop is "unavailable" Upload Privs Allow/Disallow uploads Download Privs Allow/Disallow downloads WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 20 No Kill Stops user base packers from deleting the user automaticly Sysop Toggles whether or not they are a "Sysop". You can specify "Not a Sysop", "Sysop until Next Logoff", or "Permanent Sysop". Video Control Scan Method Update Windows first/Top to Bottom Video Delay User Delay Overide Color/Mono Obvious! Time Limits Time/Call Minutes allowed per call Time/Day Minutes allowed per day Reset Timers Allows you to reset the user's timers File Limits Credit/K How much credit to give per kilobyte uploaded Cost/K How much to charge per kilobyte downloaded In Account How much is in the user's account Credit/File How many file credits to give per upload Cost/File How much to charge per file downloaded In Account How many file credits are in the user's account Post Per Call Ratios Posts/Call How many posts are neccesary (on average) before the user's PCR has been met Posted So Far How many messages have been posted by the user since he first logged into the system (The user's "1" and "2" flags are set automaticly by WME. In your menus, if you wish to have an option require that the PCR has been met, make the menu option require the "1" flag. If you want the option to require that it is NOT met, the make the menu option require the "2" flag.) User's Quote WME allows the users to keep their own signature or "tagline". This quote will be added automaticly to the user's messages when he/she writes them. Sysop's Note You can keep whatever notes you want in this field. Delete Delete a user from your system ESC Exit the user editor WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 21 Find Search for a user /Again Search Again (Hint: If you want to search for a phone number, city, date, etc: Use the "Other" command until the appropriate information is showing, then use the "Find" command to search for it!) Sort/Pack This command will sort and pack the user base, removing any blank entries. NewUsersDefault This command will allow you to edit the defaults for new users. (This is accomplished by editing the "Default" account.) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 22 THE MENU EDITOR ** See the bottom of this section for a list of specially-named menus! ** WME looks for 'TOP.MNU' automatically after the personal mail check has completed. All functions of the BBS should branch from TOP.MNU. If, for some reason, this menu doesn't exist, WME will alert you and ask if you wish to create it. Answering yes will bring up the menu editor. The default macro key 'ALT-M' will start the menu editor. It can also be accessed through the system configuration (default ALT-O) menu, under the EDITORS section. WME will present you with a list of all menus available to the system. Either select an existing menu from the list to edit it, or select 'NEW FILE' to create a new one. After the file has been selected, you will be presented with the menu editor shell. Following is an explanation of the commands available in this shell: The Edit command The edit command allows you to edit the menu line under the cursor. Below is a description of each field in the command edit window. Text - The line of text displayed to the user when he/she views the menu. (i.e. Files Menu) Try to keep your text lines short and to the point. Command - The field in which you enter the command keyword for the function you want this menu selection to perform. Entering a '?' and pressing <ENTER> will bring up ** a list of all available keywords. Hitting a '?' again while in the command selection menu will bring up help for each of the commands. Data - Certain keyword functions require data to execute. Others can have optional data. Any data of this type is entered on this line. An example would be the keyword 'RUN'. The data field would hold the name of the door you wish to run and any door parameters necessary. Hotkey - If desired, the hotkey used to access this command can be entered here. It can be any available key definition, ranging from a single letter to an ALT- <key> or cursor sequence. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 23 (If you wish to designate an alt-key, function key, or ** a cursor as the hotkey, hit Ctrl-P first.. WME turns off the macro functions temporarily, allowing you to enter any hotkey or cursor key sequence, regardless of whether or not it's supposed to do other stuff.) *Hint!* If the hotkey is set to Ctrl-A (remember, hit Ctrl-P first, ** Ctrl-A is a cursor key!), then whenever your menu is ran, this option will be automaticly ran right away. Alternate Key - If necessary, a second hot key can be defined for each menu command which you define to be called with the F10 key. Some term programs are unable to pass an F10 to the remote computer, and therefore users of those terms will need an alternate key for calling that command. An example substitute would be Ctrl-K followed by a 0. Security to show - The user must have this access level or greater to see the command on the menu. Flags to show - The user must have these flags set to see the command on the menu. Security to run - The user must have this access level or greater to execute the command. Flags to run - The user must have these flags set to execute the command. Note: You can set the security and flags so that users can not see an option, but can run it, or vice versa, if you want. Password - This is the password or group filename needed to access the command. Group filenames will be discussed later in this document. (See GROUPS) Color - This defines the color that the menu command will be printed in. A value of 0 will use the defaults set in the color configuration (discussed later in this documentation). Hit [Enter] on this line for a color menu. Colors The color configuration allows you to select the colors for each element of the menu. The following attributes can be configured: WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 24 Title color Frame Menu bar Standard text Highlights Dimmed text The number for the color can be typed if known, or <ENTER> can be pressed to display a color selection chart. Only the first 128 color combinations are available through the selection chart. Colors 129-256 can be typed in, but not selected. Title/Size Here you can define some aspects pertaining to how the menu is displayed to the user. The options are described below. Menu Title - This is the title shown at the top of the menu Horiz/vert - This toggle specifies whether the menu will be shown vertically or horizontally on the screen. Starting row and starting column - These fields indicate the row and column at which the top-right corner of the menu should be located. Defaults are row 5, column 5. Size row and column - WME can automaticly size the menu for you. However, if you do not like the size that WME chooses, you can specify a different size. Insert - This option inserts a new menu command at the cursor position Delete - This option deletes the currently highlighted menu command Move - This option allows rearrangement of menu commands. To use it, first highlight the command you wish to move. Select the move command, and then place the highlight bar where you with the entry to be moved. Additional information on menus o Any command that has a hot-key of 'CTRL-A' (hit Ctrl-P, the Ctrl-A) will automatically be executed when the menu is loaded. (Similar to QBBS-type systems). o Each menu can have a different screen background that is loaded and displayed upon entering that menu. The background must be created using TheDraw or another ANSI editor that WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 25 can save files in the .BIN format. To have that file displayed, give it the same filename as your menu (except for the extension) and place it in your menu directory. For example, TOP.BIN would be displayed when TOP.MNU is loaded. o Special menus used by WME README.MNU If found, called after mail check. BULLETIN.MNU If found, called before mail check. NEWUSER1.MNU If found, this menu will be loaded before asking a user to fill out the login questions. NEWUSER2.MNU Loaded after filling out the new user questions. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 26 WME'S COMMAND NAMES The following commands can be used almost anywhere inside of WME. You can use them in the menu editor for your menu options, or assign them to hotkeys. You can even run them manually, without going through a menu or macro editor! * NOTE * Any time WME is asking you for a command name, just hit ? and enter.. you'll get a pop-up help menu with all of the commands and quick descriptions on each of them. Hit ? again, and you will get detailed help on each command - it makes this section of the docs obsolete! Many of the following commands can take optional data; some require it. ADJUST Adjust user's time by # of minutes. Specify on the data line how many minutes to adjust the user's remaining time by (ie, 60 or -30). This adjustment does not affect future logins, only the current login. ALERT Displays the data, makes a beep, waits for a key to be pressed. Specify on the data line what message you would like given to the user (such as "System going down in 5 minutes" or "You are a twit"). An "Alert!" box will show up on the screen with your message in it. ALERTLOG Same as above, also logs to disk. ALIAS Edit alias/memberlist file. If no data line is present, a menu of all of the available alias/group files is presented. If a name IS listed on the data line, the alias editor will go straight to that group, and allow editing only of that group. ALIASCLR Reset alias cache memory immediately. Use this to reset internal alias caching immediately. Normally not necessary; this cache is automaticly reset after 15 seconds. On the node that you edit alias definitions on, the cache is cleared immediately. ALIVE Checks to see if node is alive. If no node name is specified, a menu of available nodes will be presented. A command is sent to that node, which in turn sends back a WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 27 command to your node, telling you that the node is alive and processing requests. A good use for this is to tell you when someone is done with a file transfer: As soon as they are done transferring, their node processes the request and returns acknowledgement to you. * Note * SHARE (see your DOS manual) MUST BE LOADED BEFORE WME IN ORDER FOR THIS FUNCTION TO WORK! I suggest sticking SHARE in your autoexec.bat. BELL Makes a fast sweep noise. CFGFILES Configure file bases. Use this to tell WME where your file areas are, and what the security requirements are. See also FMAINT. CFGMAIL Configure Hudson Message Base. Use this to tell WME what message bases you have, and what the security requirements are. You can also designate moderators, who have the power to see private messages, and to delete messages. Any messages written to "Moderator", "Dungeon Master", "Game Master", "DM", or "GM" will automaticly be readdressed to the moderator. CFGPROTO Configure protocols. Setup external protocols. Note, all external files must be log-compatible with DSZ. Examples are DSZ, GSZ, and Hs-Link. CHAT - Pop-up chat screen, small window in middle CHATB - Pop-up chat, long window on bottom 5 lines CHATS - Pop-up split screen chat CHATT - Pop-up chat, long window on top 5 lines CHATV - Pop-up chat, vertically split If the user requests a chat, they will be asked why they want to chat. If you (the sysop) hits any of these commands, you are taken directly to that particular chat mode. Try them all, and see what you like best. CHECKKEY Check Keyboard Scan Codes. This is more of a debugging utility than anything else. WME will return the keyboard scan codes that it is getting from either the keyboard or the remote terminal. During this time, no macros or hotkeys will be expanded. Press ESC to exit. COMMAND Runs any command from a menu. Allows you to run any of WME's commands "on the fly". It can optionally present you WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 28 with a list of all of the commands. commands; just hit "?" when it asks you for a command name. CONFEREN Conference Mode! Takes the user to the conference section. By default, they are taken to Conference 0. You can specify on the data line a different number to create multiple conference areas. CONFIG Configure BBS. This menu controls most of what WME will do for you. It includes menu editors, user editors, the modem handler, registration, etc. CRC - Shows CRC16 of a given string. CRC32 - Shows CRC32 of a given string. This was originally debugging code for me; I left it in for anyone who may take an interest in it. It has no real practical purpose for most people. DIR Show directory. WME will prompt (and default to *.*) for which files you want a directory of. You may specify on the data line which files you want a directory of instead. DOWNLOAD Download Specific Files. You must specify what file(s) you want to allow the user to d/l. Upload and download ratios are affected, but the user will not be denied the download based on his download ratio. DUST Writes a message on the screen to the user: area under construction. Presents a "Sorry.." type message to the user. EDITFILE Edit file in WME directory (text,menu,alias,etc). This will give you a directory of everything in the WME directory. You pick the file, and WME will pick the appropriate editor. Ie, if you choose ACCOUNTS.BBS, WME will put you in the user editor. EDITTEXT Edit text file anywhere (no wildcards). Specify which text file you want to edit, old or new. You have up to 60k to edit with. If you are low on memory, WME will give you as much as possible out of what is left. EDITUSER Edit current user on this node. This is similar to using the user editor, except it takes you straight to the user currently online. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 29 ESC Stuff an ESC into the key buffer. When WME starts to look for keys from the user again, it will see an "ESC" before anything else. You can use this as a shorthand version of the "RETURN" function. EXIT Exits the BBS, no hang up. If you want to exit with an errorlevel, specify the errorlevel on the data line. EXT Edit External Language File. If you want to customize WME's prompts and key phrases, use this command. Always keep a backup of the EXTERNAL.WME file in case you totally mess up! (This command is not available for non-registered users.) FILES File base - user end. Takes the user to the files section. You may specify a base number on the data line to take them directly to a specific file area. If no area is specified, the last area the user was in will be used. FLASH Prompt for a message/send to node. This command will present a list of all of the nodes. It will also show what each node is doing. The user may select on of the nodes, and send a message to it. The destination zone will get a pop-up window with the message in it. Note that it IS possible to flash yourself... just don't be obscene! * Note * SHARE (see your DOS manual) MUST BE LOADED BEFORE WME IN ORDER FOR THIS FUNCTION TO WORK! I suggest sticking SHARE in your autoexec.bat. FMAINT File base - Sysop maintenance. This option allows the sysop to enter the actual file areas, and add/remove file descriptions to the bases. There are options for importing and exporting FILES.BBS. (Later options for WME will include moving files to other bases and the ability to use 4Dos's DESCRIPT.ION). GOSUB Open and run a new menu. This will load up a sub-menu, and layer it over the previous menu. The user may hit ESC to exit sub-menus. GOTO WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 30 Close the current menu, run a different menu. Similar to GOSUB, this command will entirely switch to a different menu, instead of going to a sub-menu. HANDLES Shows open file handles. This is primarily a debugging tool. It shows all files that WME currently has open, as well as where in each file the file pointer is at. HANGUP Hang up the user, then EXIT. You may specify on the data line an errorlevel to hang up with. I'M NEXT Sets an alarm when user hangs up to alert the sysop. Use this when you want to use the computer next. INFO Info on system. This will show info such as WME's version number, parameters, memory left, memory used, video modes, etc. INFOPORT Info on fossil port, port number, speed, CPS, etc. INFOUSER Info on current user, security level, flags, and time left. LANGUAGE Switch to another language file (must be specified) If no file is specified, WME will switch back to EXTERNAL.WME. You may create alternate language files, and use this command to switch to them. LINENOIS Give User Line Noise (mean Sysop!). This generates random line noise on the phone line, in spurts. If you do not specify how many bytes to garble, then the user will get 2-3 good spurts. Figure 4-5 good spurts for every 100 you specify. Specifying 0 will disable line noise. LIST Show Text File to User. This takes one or more parameters. The first parameter is the ASCII text file to be shown. If you specify any other parameters, they will become the title of the window that will be shown to the user. LOADBIN Loads a binary screen. (*use caution). Loads an alternate bin screen. Note, this will load the screen over the current menu. This is NOT for the average sysop. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 31 LOG Adds text to the BBS log file. Use this to keep track of how often certain menus are accessed. Whatever you specify on the data line will be put into the log file. LOGKILL Kills the log file. If the log file is open, WME will first close the log file, then delete it, then reopen it. This command is safer and faster than shelling to dos and using the DEL WME.LOG command. MAIL This will take the user to the mail section. If no data line is specified, the user will be taken to the message section they were last in. If a message area number is specified, the user will be taken directly there. MENUEDIT This allows you to create your own menus for WME. You may specify the menu name to edit on the data line, or let WME present you with a menu of all menu files. MESSAGE Displays the text, waits for a key (see ALERT). This puts a pop-up window on the screen, prints out the message on the data line, and waits for a key from the user. The main difference between this command and ALERT is that this is purple, instead of red, and the beep is not sent to the user. MOMENT Temporarily changes user stat line. This will change the text on the status bar until WME is idle and waiting for a key again. NOISE Makes a sweep noise at the sysop. NOPLAY Stops background music immediately. If you have a music file or a bunch of notes in the music buffer, this command will immediately clear it out. Alternatively, hit the "Quiet" key (default: Alt-Q) once to clear it out. NULL (null) does nothing. (Actually, it makes a REAL small "tick" sound on the speaker. If you run this command enough, you may actually here it..) PERSONAL Checks for unread personal mail. If there is any personal unread mail, this command will take the user to a limited mail shell with his/her new messages in it. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 32 PLAY Plays musical notes or file to sysop. Plays music notes (such as A, B, C, F#, etc) or a music file (such as @CHAT.MUS). The music language is as follows: Each note can have information about the length (in clock ticks), and an octave. If either is omitted, the previous one is assumed. Specify the note you want to play, with the length in front of it, and the octave after it. Example: 2F3 A C4 A3 would play 4 notes, all 2 clock ticks each. F, 3rd octave A, 3rd octave C, 4th octave A, 3rd octave POPSCRN Restores the screen from the video stack (*use caution) PUSHSCRN Saves the screen to the video stack (*use caution) Manipulates the video stack. Do not mess with this unless you are a programmer who understands stacks! REDRAW Forces entire screen to be redraw. Users can use Ctrl-L at any time. You may want to also make this into a menu option. RETURN Same thing as a user hitting "ESC". RING Simulated telephone ring (or any other noise or music file that you configure the "RING" sound to be in CONFIG) RUN Run an external program. Specify the program to run on the data line. Certain parameters on the data line can be passed off by WME; see below; Use To Get ──────┼───────── *F │ First Name *L │ Last Name *B │ Baud Rate *G │ Graphics (Always "1") *T │ Time Left, in Minutes *N │ WME Nodename */ │ WME Path and Nodename *\ │ Path Only of WME *M │ Ignored (On other systems, means SWAP to DISK..) *~ │ No Swapping *H │ Don't shell with the fossil "HOT" WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 33 *P │ Pause after shell; show user online the final screen *S │ Show status bar when shelling out (for GSZ maybe?) │ Defaults to status bar on top of screen ONLY. *! │ Screen does not need to be redrawn upon return. │ (WME normally redraws the entire screen.) *25 │ Force 25 line mode for door *43 │ Force 43/50 line mode for door (ega/vga) *50 │ Force 43/50 line mode for door (ega/vga) SAVECONF Saves the current configuration file for the node you are on to disk. (Done automaticly when exiting CONFIG and when exiting the BBS) SENDSCRN Forces entire screen to be sent. If you wish to force certain screens to be sent, you can use this command. Even if they use hotkeys, the entire current screen _will_ be sent first. SENDWIND Forces current window to be sent. If you wish to force certain menu windows to be sent, you can use this command. Even if they use hotkeys, the entire current window _will_ be sent first. STUFFBUF Stuff keyboard buffer with keys. Use this to create keyboard macros. Any time the STUFFBUF command is used, the keys on the data line are stuffed into the key buffer, and will be the next keys to be used by WME. TEXT This does nothing except show text in menus. Similar to NULL, except that Menu items that use this command are not selectable by the user. No data line is used on this command. TIMEDOWN ADJUSTs user's time by dropping 10 minutes TIMEUP ADJUSTs user's time by adding 10 minutes UPLOAD Upload to Specific Base/Directory. Allows a user to upload to the upload directory without going to the file area. You may specify a base number on the data line. Default is to send the upload to the default upload area as defined by the sysop. USERCONF WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 34 User's Configuration Menu. Brings up the internal User Configuration menu. This menu has options for ansi/avatar, monochrome, video drawing methods, passwords, etc. You can write your own User Configuration menu; this command will generate it's own, internal. When more configuration commands are added into WME for the user, the menu created by this command will automaticly be updated internally. USEREDIT Online User Editor. Edit the users in your BBS. You may edit ANYONE in the user base, even if they are on-line. They can even be online on a different node, the changes you make will take effect on the remote node a few seconds after you save their record. VERBS Edit conference verbs. This command allows you, the sysop, or (if you allow it) users to add their own verbs to the conference section. VIEW View a file or contents of an archive. If the file in question is an archive, the appropriate de-archiver will be ran, and VIEW will show the contents of the archive. Otherwise, VIEW will show the file specified on the data line. WINDRAW Forces entire window to be redraw. Similar to REDRAW, this command only redraws the current window. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 35 The following commands that start with "#" are sysop-only. They MUST be ran from the BBS's keyboard. These commands all prompt the sysop on the bottom status line, which is out of sight from the user in question. You can use these commands with out the user knowing that you are doing so. #COMMAND Run any command, Sysop Only, hidden from User. WME will prompt you for the name of the command to run, and the optional data line. You will be prompted for this information on the bottom status line; help menus are not available. If you do not know the name of the command, refer to this document, or use the "COMMAND" function instead. (This command is ran automaticly if you hold down Ctrl-Alt- Shift on the left side of the keyboard all at once..) #CONF Allows the sysop to join a conference. If the user is in a conference section, and you wish to participate, you can do so without having to use another computer or another DesqView or Dos window. Simply use this command. You will be prompted as to what name you wish to go by. Anything you want to send into the conference is typed on the bottom status line, out of sight of the user online. This command is ONLY good WHILE the user is in a conference. It will be ignored any other time. #FLAGS Update security flags of user online. Change the user's security flags without interrupting the user. (You may change flags A..Z. 1..6 are reserved by WME, and are used to report special user conditions, such as Post Per Call Ratio.) #KEYLOCK Lockout or unlock remote's keyboard temporarily. This will lock/unlock the remote user's terminal; while locked, anything they type is ignored by WME. The status bar will tell the user that their keyboard is locked, and WME will beep at them every time they type. #SECLVL Change the user's security level without interrupting the user. #SYSOP Change the SYSOP status of the user online, without interrupting the user. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 36 WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 37 The following commands are configuration-specific commands. They are listed at the bottom, since they are not used as often in menus. !ADDCONF Changes internal .CFG file If you know the name of the internal WME variable you want to change, use this command. One possible use of this is to change CHAT status from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, effectively turning on or off the CHAT page bell. Another use is to change the amount of time the user must be "asleep" before they are automaticly logged off. You can use !ADDCONF to change any variable that you find in your config file (yes, the WME.CFG file is ASCII!). If you change directory names, be sure that they end in a trailing backslash ("\"), as WME will not double check! Example: Command: !ADDCONF Data: CHAT 1 Command: !ADDCONF Data: SLEEPTIME 120 !ANSI This command will toggle the ANSI/AVATAR setting. By default, Alt-A will do this. !BIOS Changed BIOS Screen Write Settings. If you are a blind sysop, you may want to tell WME to use BIOS video writes for some of it's output. This BBS has already been proven friendly to both blind sysops and to blind users. !CHAT Toggle chat mode on/off. Toggles whether or not you are available. Note, if the user has the "Chat Always" privilege, he/she will always be able to page you, and if they do not have chat privs at all, they will always get a message saying you are unavailable. When you use this command, you'll here a single beep when chat mode is turned on, and a double beep when it is turned off. !CURSOR User's Cursor Type - Allows the user to choose between blinking cursor, solid cursor, or no cursor. The blinking cursor is used by default. !DELAY Allows user to change video delay value. This option allows the user to tweak the way WME buffers it's video output. The smaller the value, the faster WME will appear to respond to remote users. However, too small of a value will slow down WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 38 video output to the user. Setting it to 0 will use the sysop's default. !HOTKEY Create or edit a global hotkey. If you don't like WME's default keys, by all means change them! This command allows you to change any of the global user keys and the commands that they run. !MACRO List/Edit All Keyboard Hotkeys. This brings up a shell of all of the hotkeys, including sysop and user keys. !MAILCHK User's Toggle Mail Check Flag. Allows the user to decide whether or not they want to search for unread personal mail at login time. Note, IEMSI logins do not use this parameter- WME will use whatever the IEMSI setup is defined as. !MONO Toggle monochrome translation. If the user wants WME to translate the colors to monochrome, they can set this option. !PASSWRD User's Password Change. Users can change their password once they are logged in with this option. For obvious security reasons, this command will not run until they are properly logged in. !QUIET Toggle quiet mode. Sysops can toggle whether or not WME will make it's bells and whistles. !QUOTE Allows user to change personal quote. If the user wants, he can automaticly add his/her favorite user quote (sometimes misnamed tagline) at the bottom of his/her message. !REDRAW Toggle Forced Redraw on Windows. Mainly for blind callers, if this option is set, any time WME makes a new window, the window is marked as needing to be completely redrawn. This will bypass some of WME's video optimization, slowing down the video output, but will allow speech cards "to see the whole picture"... This will make no visible difference to sighted users, except for speed. !SCANMTH Toggle scan: Window-First or Fast mode. By default, WME will attempt to draw the current window before drawing everything else. This allows low-speed connections to see and use the menus right away. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 39 !SECLVL Update security level of user online. Puts a pop-up window up for the sysop to edit the user's security level. The user online will see this. If you do not wish to interrupt the user, see the #SECLVL command. !SEND Send a cmd to node (RTFM). This is a fun command... If you are running a multinode system, you can send remote commands to the other nodes.. even if you are calling on a remote line yourself! On the data line, you need to specify 2 or more parameters: the node name you want to send the command to, the command you want to run, and any data that the command requires. An example would be !SEND data: LINE2 HANGUP This would tell LINE2 to hang up as soon as it got the command. You can send _any_ menu command to another node that way. !STATUS1 Set/change user status line info !STATUS2 Set/change sysop status line info These will allow you to change which status mode the top status bar is displaying. If you do not specify a data line, it will scroll through the various modes. !SYSKEY Just like !HOTKEY, except it makes Sysop-Only hotkeys. !USERCON User's Configuration This brings up the internal user config menu. Same as USERCONF.. repeated here only so that you'll find it! WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 40 THE MAGICAL "RUN" COMMAND Use the "RUN" command in your menus to jump to door games, call back verifiers, sysop utilities, or anything else that seems appropriate. You can use the "RUN" command as a menu command or a hotkey. On the data line, specify what program you wish to run, as well as any optional parameters that the program requires. WME will load COMMAND.COM (or equivalent), and tell it to run your program. COMMAND.COM will search your current directory, and the DOS PATH (see your DOS manual), for your program. WME will, by default, swap itself to ems/xms memory, or to disk, before running your program. About 5k of WME will remain in memory. If you plan on running door games, be sure to setup DORINFOn.DEF and DOOR.SYS in WME's configuration menu. By default, these files are not made by WME. You may have WME pass of special parameters to the program you want to run. When WME sees any of the following on the data line, WME will subsitute in the current values for the user that is currently online. Use To Get ──────┼───────── *F │ First Name *L │ Last Name *B │ Baud Rate *G │ Graphics (Always "1") *T │ Time Left, in Minutes *N │ WME Nodename */ │ WME Path and Nodename *\ │ Path Only of WME *M │ Ignored (On other systems, means SWAP to DISK..) *~ │ No Swapping - Straight Shell (Experimental!) *H │ Don't shell with the fossil "HOT" *P │ Pause after shell; show user online the final screen *S │ Show status bar when shelling out (for GSZ maybe?) │ Defaults to status bar on top of screen ONLY. *! │ Screen does not need to be redrawn upon return. │ (WME normally redraws the entire screen.) *25 │ Force 25 line mode for door *43 │ Force 43/50 line mode for door (ega/vga) *50 │ Force 43/50 line mode for door (ega/vga) WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 41 MUSIC FILES and the PLAY COMMAND WME's internal noises, bells, whistles, and other gurgles are all controled with a small music language. Most of WME's sounds can be modified; they can make music or fake telephone rings, or just about anything else that you take the time to program in. WME has special sound setups for : Chat Page, Chat Reminder, Alert! boxes, Logins, Sysop Next, and File Xfr Done. See Config>General>Sounds for setting these up. You can enter either the specific note sequences for WME to play (such as 1C4 C2 C4 would play short high-C, low-C, high-C tones), or you can specify a music file with the "@" symbol (such as @chat.mus). The actual play commands are pretty simple; I have a lot of converted ANSI music files converted over for WME already. Unfortanately, during a drive crash, I lost the source to the converter, and will have to make a new one.. If you are up to making any by hand, here is how WME interprets notes... Each note sequence must be seperated by a space, tab, or carriage return. Each note _may_ specify a length (in clock ticks, starting at 0) or a new octave. As each note must contain a note. "Rest" (pause) is considered to be note "R". Any time the length or the octave is omited, the previous value is assumed. Lengh (Clockticks count 0..1..2..3.. then go on to the next note) \ \ __Note: "C" (Acceptable: A A# B- B C C# D- ... R (rest) ) \ / 3C4 <- Octave (1 lowest, 7 highest) A valid sequence may look like: ; ANSI music converted for WME by Jason Fesler ; A portion of Greensleeves.. 4A3 8C4 4D 6E 2F 4E 8D 4B3 6G 2A 4B 8C4 4A3 6A 2G# 4A 8B 4G# WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 42 CFGFILES- The File Area Configuration Command The file area configuration is where you setup the file areas that you will have on your bbs. The current version of WME supports 200 file areas. This limit can be expanded if needed, see the !addconf variable in the menu commands section of the docs for more information. You can access the file area configuration with the 'CFGFILES' menu command or by selecting it from the editors menu in the system config. Once you have entered the file area configuration system, you will be presented with a screen that has a menu bar on the top line and your file areas shown below. You can use your left and right arrows to highlight items on the menu bar or your up and down arrows to highlight the file area you wish to work on. Edit: This option is where you edit the individual file areas. Area Name: This is where you type in the name of the file area. This name will be seen by all of the users on the system. It is best to keep this name short and descriptive. Moderator: This is where you fill in the moderator of the file area. The moderator is like a sysop for the specific file area. The moderator field in WME currently has no affect but will be used in later versions. Directory: This is a directory on a hard disk or a cd-rom where the files for the current area are stored. Sec. DNLD: This is the minimum security level that user must have in order to download files from this file area. Flags DNLD: This field is where you specify the flags that a user will need to down load files from the current file area. Sec. UPLD: This is where you specify the minimum security level required for a user to upload files to the current area. If the user doesn't have the security to upload files to the current area, files will be sent to the "default upload base" number that was specified in system config. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 43 *Note* If you FORCE uploads to your upload base, this value is meaningless. Flags UPLD: This is where you specify the flags that are required for a user to upload files to the current file area. Same as above. Area Security and Flags: This is the minimum security needed for a user to see the area in an "area" and "Goto" list. Goto Security and Flags This is where you specify the flags that are needed for the user to actually access an area in an "Area" list, and to access an area with the "Next" and "Previous" area commands. Password: This is where you specify the password or group file requirement for the file area. See the section on group files in the docs about setting up a group file. Fmaint: This option allows you to edit all the file area discriptions for the hilighted file area. See the next section on file base maintainence (FMAINT) later in this document. ESC [or escape key]: This option does nothing but exit the file area configuration menu. Move: This command moves the file areas arround. To move a filearea, highlight it, move to the place where you want it and press enter Find/again: This command will search for a file area by name or file number. When you select this option, a small box will pop up and allow you to type in the search string. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 44 FMAINT - The Internal File Description Editor WME has it's own file description editor. Programs such as Fido- Fam and word processors are no longer needed. File descriptions can be edited online, internally. To access FMAINT, hit Alt-R (run any command), type "FMAINT" and hit enter. If you know the file area number you want to go to, type the area number. Hit enter. You will see what looks similiar to the FILES section. It will show the same files and descriptions as the FILES section. You will see different commands, though.. These commands allow for editing descriptions, inserting space, deleting lines, packing the file list, importing/exporting to and from the FILES.BBS format, and importing orphans (files that are not currently listed in the directory). An explanation of these commands follows. Edit This command allows you to edit the current line. If it is blank, it will prompt you for a file name. You may leave the file name blank. It will then ask you for a description. You can make a multiline description by entering the filename and the first part of the description on the first line, and on the second line, not entering the file name. Enter a description, and WME will move the description over for you. To make a text line in WME that is not considered a multiline description, you will need to have at least 1 blank line before it. Be sure to leave the filename field blank. Insert This command will allow you to push the current entries down. Default is to move everything down 1 line; you may specify an alternate value. You can also use the "Ins" key. EraLine This command will completely remove the current line. You can also use the "Del" key. Next This will take you to the next file area. Prev This will take you to the previous file area. Area This will bring up a list of the valid file areas, and allow you to select the one you would like to use. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 45 View This command will allow you to view files with the internal VIEW command. If the file you are on is an archive, the appropriate de-archiver will be ran to get a directory of the archive. ESC Takes you out of FMAINT Orphans Allows you to get the orphans, import,and export. Replace w/Files.BBS This command will read in the FILES.BBS file in the files directory, and convert it into WME's format. Merge w/Files.BBS This command will read in the FILES.BBS file in the files directory, and convert it into WME's format. Any files already listed in WME will be skipped. Orphan Files Only This command will look at the directory and bring in all the file names into WME that are not already there. No descriptions are imported. Descriptions Only This command will look at all the files listed in WME that have no descriptions, and attempt to read FILES.BBS to get the descriptions. Export FILES.BBS This command will export FILES.BBS. Tag (Not currently being used for anything.. there for future expansion, for moving files from one area to another etc) PackNow WME will automaticly pack the descriptions, taking out all of extra blank lines out of the base. WME will do this when you exit the area. If you want to pack it immediately, use this option. Find Search for file, size, date, or description /Again Searches again for the same text. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 46 EXTERNAL PROTOCAL SETUP WME currently does not do internal file transfers... Not enough cash resources, and the availability of high-quality external file transfer protocals have prompted me to instead tailer WME to these external programs. By using external protocals, you can easily add Y-modem, Z-modem, HS/Link (a two-directional transfer protocal that allows you to upload AND download at the same time), Bi-Modem, J-Modem, and others.. (Unfortanately, as of this writing, X-modem support has not been written in; it requires special handling different from all other protocals. Also, it is highly-inefficient. (At 2400 baud, X-modem is about 8k per minute, whereas Z-modem is 13k per minute.) WME's _only_ requirements: they must make a DSZ-compatible log file, and they must be able to take a list of file names for the transfer. Without the first requirement, WME can not process credits, ratios, or upload descriptions. Without the second requirement, WME has no way of telling the protocal what files to send. To configure WME's protocals, you must run the command "CFGPROTO". Hit Alt-R, type "CFGPROTO", and hit [Enter] twice. The protocal editor is also available from the system configuration menu (alt-o). (A sample WME.PRT file is included with the distribution package. If you are running other nodes, you will want to copy the WME.PRT to nodename.PRT where nodename is the name of the particular node..) An explanation of the "Zmodem" entry that is included.. ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ Upload: dsz restrict rz │ │ Download: dsz sz -r @*/.FLS │ └───────────────────────────────┘ For uploading, dsz's only parameters are "restrict rz", which tells dsz to only upload files to the current directory (no pathname overrides, which can be a security loophole of you don't use it!), and to receive zmodem. For downloading, "sz" means "send zmodem", "-r" means use Zmodem Recovery (if the user aborts the file halfway through, they can continue downloading where they left off), and the "@*/.FLS" translates to an "@" symbol (tells dsz to expect a list of namnes), the name of the directory WME is in + the nodename + ".FLS" (an example would be @C:\TC\WME.FLS). WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 47 Without the "@" symbol, dsz will send the textfile containing the list of filenames, instead of sending the files contained in the list... On the parameter line, WME will translate the following: *N Node name of WME *\ WME's directory (ie C:\WME\) */ WME's directory + nodename (ie C:\WME\WME or C:\WME\LINE1) * BIG NOTE * WME will attempt to automaticly set the following variables to what is best for WME: DSZPORT as your comport number (if not already set by you) DSZLOG to something like C:\WME\NODENAME.XFR (subsituting the proper directory and node name) TXZMLOG to the same thing IN_WME to YES, so that WME will not load another copy of WME over itself. You can also test for this in your batch files if needed. * SECOND BIG NOTE * WME will, when it is time to download files, make a plain ASCII file with the complete path/file names of each file. The name of this file will be something similiar to C:\WME\NODENAME.FLS (subsituting the proper directory and node name of course). You need to have the protocal file send the files contained IN the list, not the list itself. WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 48 MACROS (HotKeys) WME has it's own macro manager, geared specifically for the BBS. You can assign any keystrokes or menu commands to any key in WME. Don't like using Alt-J for shelling, because it's too close to Alt-H? Want to change it to Alt-Z? No problem. Want to make a help hotkey for users? No problem. Want to make a chat hotkey? No problem. Go to WME's macro editor with the "!MACRO" command. By default, hitting F1 will take you immediately there, although you can most certainly change that if you wish to move it! The menu accross the top has the following options: Edit Edits the key that the cursor is on Global Define or redefine a GLOBAL (user) hotkey. Global hotkeys are for users, but sysops can use them as long as they don't define a sysop hotkey on the same key. Sysop Defines a SYSOP-ONLY hotkey; either the user must be logged in locally, or they must have sysop status (see useredit:security) turned on. Logged_In This is the same as Global, except that they do not work until the user has properly logged in. Delete Deletes a macro. Find Find a key, command, or text /Again Continue searching Check Key This command returns the numeric results that WME is getting; it is mainly for debugging purposes. ESC Gets you out of the macro editor. When you are actually defining or editing the key, WME will want to know what command you want the key to use. You can use "?" to get a list of menu commands. WME will also want to know what optional data, if any, you want the key to have. For example, you can set Alt-H to be the command "GOSUB" and the data "GOODBYE". If the user hits Alt-H, they will be taken to the "Goodbye" menu, which they can either go ahead and log off, or back out of. At the same time,you can set the SYSOP's Alt-H to be an immediate "HANGUP". WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 49 WME - The Windowed Modem Environment version 1.00 Page 50 CURSOR KEYS and DEFAULT HOT KEYS WME understands both Doors (or Raw-Data) mode from remote terminals, and the ansi-sequences sent by some terminals. In the event the user can NOT send any cursor sequences at all, however, you can suggest the following WordStar equivalents... W=Home E=Up R=PgUp Kinda easy to remember W E R Ctrl + S=Left D=Right when then keyboard has S D Z=End X=Dn C=PgDn them as ... Z X C Some Terminal Programs and Suggestions for Users who Use Them... Qmodem Turn "DOORWAYS" mode on (alt-=); use Avatar emulation Telix normal cursor keys work; for PgUp and PgDn, you'll need to use the WordStar keys. Don't use the Avatar mode, it doesn't work at all!!! FrontDoor Turn "RAW DATA" mode on with Scroll Lock. Also, Communiqué use ANSI Emulation with "Expand Avatar" set to "Yes". Procomm If normal cursor keys don't work, use WordStar PcPlus keys instead! Default Hot-Keys Users can only use Alt-Keys and Function Keys if their terminal supports "DOORS", "DOORWAYS", or "RAW DATA" modes.. Sysops can hit any of these on the local keyboard.

With this in mind, WME's message base system is modeled after the Hudson Message Base system. Multitudes of echomail and message base maintenance utilities exist for the HMB (also known as a Hudson Base). You will need to, on a bare minimum, get a utility to maintain your message base. My personal suggestion - grab GECHO by Gerald Van Der Land. It is a combination echomail and message base maintenance program. The shareware release of this wonderful program is now available to the public (look for GE_100.*). It is file requestable from my system, and should be available locally in your area as well. Registration costs $25 dollars (US currency, worth every penny), and he has registration sites in other countries and currencies as well. Other good echomail/mail maintenance routines (or so I'm told) are Fmail and FastEcho. Their performance factors are comparable to GEcho. Hopefully, Imail 1.3 will be decent as well, but stay away from previous versions - they are s - l - o - w. If you do not wish to bother with echomail, a really good utility called MB-Utils (MBU_110) (also written by Gerald Van Der Land) is available. (Go for the GEcho though; it's more complete, and costs the same!) WME Specific Utilities There are, as of the 1.00 distribution package, only two external utilities for WME. Luckily, most of WME's configuration is internal to WME. The two external programs that are included are WMEALIST, an all- files generator, and SMALLLOG, which is used to automaticly maintain log files to a specific size (ie, keep WME.LOG under 100k). Check the distribution archives for documentation specific to these and any other added utilities. Both of these programs are free for non-commercial use.
