$ Escape commands
In Pandora's text files many possible $ escapes are possible. In the
now following text I will give a short summary of the valid escapes and
what the expanded result will be.
$$ Output a single $ (version 2.39+)
$q Display a quote to the user. Requires a QUOTE.BBS file (See Fido doc.)
$c Disables ^C for user, so text will be printed uninterrupted.
$C Reenables ^C. ser may break out of text printing.
$l Disable LOGfile. no more input to logfile.
$L Enable LOGfile. Everything users types goes to LOGfile.
$n Display how many times a user called. (number)
$N Display how many times BBS was called.
$r Display how much the user uploaded. (in Kbytes)
$R Display how much the user downloaded. (in Kbytes)
$u Display the entire username.
$p Display the user city.
$v Display the current Pandora version (x.xx)
$b Displays the BULLETIN.BBS file (do not use in BULLETIN.BBS!)
$o Displays how many minutes the user is on system.
$K Clear the user console.
$h Turns invert video mode off.
$H Turns invert video mode on.
$T Display the last time the current user called (hh:mm:ss)
$D Display the last date the current user called (yy mmm dd)
$t Display the current time (hh:mm:ss)
$d Display the current date (yy mmm dd)
$m Place a marker in the LOGfile (=============================)
$f Displays the current users first name.
$i Ask the user for a line and places in directly in the LOGfile.
$s Displays the name of the SYSOP. Installed with CONFIG.
Do not use the % escapes. These are used internally and require use of
the internal stack. Unpredictable numbers will be displyed!
The different files in Pandora.arc:
In the Pandora.arc file are many files stored in the famous ARC format.
Unfortunatly Pandora doesn't know about de-encription, so the files MUST be
stored. Use ARC s or PSARC but not PKARC because PKARC will not store!
