UPDATES FOR VERSION 5.0
===========================
This is TripLinK!s Basic Menu Format so if you need to change things you
can use this to hunt down problems or menus you want to change, Ill be as
brief as I can... We will start with a User Logging On.. OK ....
Also check out Access Bits in a Users Profile To control Menus they will
see or not see, some can be shut off so they dont see them over and over.
Its under SPECIAL BITS .. see TRIP.DOC Under Access Bits..
ALL *.HLP Menus can have an *.ANS, *.VT2, and *.IG match. Also You can make
a second folder called ALTMENUS and move all your *.ANS,*.IG, and *.VT2 into
it so TRIPMENU dosent get filled up. You MUST keep *.HLP files in TRIPMENU.
Last, I keep *.HLP and *.VT2 in TRIPMENU, and *.IG and *.ANS in ALTMENUS.
There is a Conversion program in TRIPMENU to convert your *.VT2 to *.ANS so
You dont have to rewrite it. Im making an *.ANS to *.VT2 (which I have done
already, needs fine tuning).. Thats it.. This is The Order..
CONVANSI.PRG Converts VT52 Menus to ANSI MENUS. Its In Your TRIPMENU
directory most likely.
TNETRUN.HLP
CONNECT.HLP also (CONNECT1.HLP To CONNECT5.HLP, Randomly Picks if Exists)
WELCOME.HLP
NOTICE.HLP
SYSNEWS.HLP ( Then Checks For SYSNEWS1.HLP to SYSNEWS3.HLP, IN ORDER)
<Quickscans>
<NewFile Scan>
MAINMENU.HLP
BASEMENU.HLP (Message Base MENU)
FILEAREA.HLP (File Area MENU)
LOGOFF.HLP (Menu To Display At LogoFF, Dont put alot of Commands in here)
TNETOFF.HLP (Menu To Run Programs after Tlink Hangs up ie. Network stuff)
------------------------------

***********************************************************
Sysop(7-10).HLP are specifically for the sysop so you can test menus or
menu commands when you are online. These are not noraml menus and every
sysop has different ones. SO if you receive them from me or someone else
you can kill them off if they dont work for you. These files are called
when you log on as sysop at the MainMenu when you press 7 to 0 on your
keyboard. Normal users will NOT see these menus unless they have sysop
access
***********************************************************
There is now a file called TNETHOUR.HLP which will run hourly, you can turn
this feature ON/OFF using TripHooks. This is current as of version 5.0.
You can use TNETHOUR to run all normal menu Commands so have at it. Pressing
F9 at the WaitCall screen reset both EVENTRUN.HLP and TNETHOUR.HLP. Look
at the TNETHOUR.HLP, you can actually run this at any given Minute each hour
and its set on the first line. EVENTRUN.HLP can be set for any given time
in a 24 Hour Period, while TNETHOUR.HLP is run hourly.
When running TNETRUN.HLP and calling ISIS.TTP it will not launch unless a
user calls and it sees a Carrier. When pressing F1 From the Desktop Tlink!
Skips the Log on files and rips into the BBS. To test the ISIS.TTP TERMINAL
you must have someone call.
ANY NETWORKING PROGRAM CAN USE THESE MENUS..
TNETRUN.HLP is where you place the ISIS.TTP or other NetWork Programs that
need to check wether it's a BBS or User That is Calling.
TNETOFF.HLP is where you place NetWork Files that should run after the user
has been booted off and before the BBS resets.
TNETOFF.HLP is run when anyone logs-off, remotely or Local.
Place SETUP.PRG,CONTROL.PRG and ISISMAIL in your DropDowns, this way you can
call them up at anytime. ISISMAIL.PRG really helps so you can send FMAIL
and E-Mail Messages out to everyone on the ISIS Network. It's not hard to set
up at all.
ONLY TLINK! Version 5.0 properly runs the ISIS.TTP not any previous
Versions!

SYSOP(7-10).HLP: Are manily used by me to contian POSCMDs so I can
have the those files do certian things AUTOMATICALLY. Like For instance,
this is my SYSOP7.HLP:
Loading Current Notes For Updating.. Please Hold
TTP>C:\TEMPUS\TEMPUS.PRG D:\TRIPBBS\PROBLEM.TXT
Thanks! I needed That.. Keep Up the good work!
-------------------------------------------
TripLinK! Allows you to pass parameters if the PRG will let it, just
use the TTP> function like I do with TEMPUS. You can pass parms to
regular TTP's in the same way. It does all my LZHing for me :-)
This Updates my PROBLEM.TXT so I can Merge it into UPDATES.DOC and lets me
do it quickly by pressing 7 at the Main Menu. When A User selects 7 they
only see OPTION7.HLP and not my SYSOP7.HLP.. Theres alot I can do to my
SYSOP7.HLP to Automate some TLINK! Tasks..
-------------------------------------------------------
Other Wierd Menus That I have Hanging Around in TRIPMENU/ALTMENUS..
NEW: 4.0+ Only
SPECIAL.HLP If you press F8 from wait call it calls this HLP file
