- 8.1 DEFINITIONS:
-
- F1 (Take five minutes from user)
- --------------------------------
- If a user is ONLINE and you wish to deduct five minutes from his
- time left on the system, you can do so by pressing F1. This is
- helpful if you want to get on the system and a user has lots of
- time left.
-
- F2 (Give five minutes to user)
- ------------------------------
- If a user is ONLINE and you wish to add five minutes to the time
- he has left on the system, you can do this by pressing F2. This
- is helpful if you want to give a user more time, or you are just
- feeling generous that day.
-
- F3 (Toggle Printer [on/off])
- ----------------------------
- All of the information that is written to the CALLERS.LOG file
- (e.g. Time on/off, Downloads made, messages written, etc. by
- users) will be printed by your printer if 1) You have a printer,
- and 2) If you have the Printer Toggle ON. If the Printer Toggle
- bottom of the screen. You can at any time toggle the Printer OFF
- or ON by pressing F3.
-
- NOTE: If you have the printer toggled ON, and your
- printer is "OFFLINE" Phoenix will freeze up, until you
- either place your printer "ONLINE" or turn the printer
- off. The same will happen if the printer needs attention
- (ribbon or paper out).
-
- F4 (Toggle Sysop Available [yes/no]
- -----------------------------------
- By toggling this parameter [ON or OFF] the sysop can decide
- whether or not he can be paged. If the Sysop Available is ON,
- the word "Page" will appear at your 5-line window at the top
- of the screen (if in window mode) or if in full screen mode,
- the toggle will appear as text on your screen.
- Then the Sysop can be paged. If the Sysop
- Available is OFF, the word "Page" will disappear from the 5-line
- window, and a user will not be able to page the sysop. To
- toggle it ON or OFF, just press F4. If in full screen mode,
- you will see text on the screen indicating the state of this
- toggle.

-
- F5 (Toggle Sysop Bell [on/off])
- -------------------------------
- By toggling this parameter, the sysop can choose whether or not
- sound will be made when he is being paged. This function will
- only be in use if the Sysop Available is ON. If the Sysop
- Available is ON, but the Sysop Bell is OFF, then the sysop can
- be paged, but no sound will be made. But if the Sysop Bell is
- ON, sound will be made in an attempt to attract the sysop's
- attention. To toggle it ON or OFF, press F5.
-
-
- F6 (Toggle Screen Output [on/off])
- ----------------------------------
- When the Screen Output toggle is OFF, nothing that is fed to the
- screen is shown. But if it is ON, everything is shown. This is
- handy to have when you go away for a while and there is no
- reason to have the screen ON. When you return, you can simply
- press F6 and all data will show up on the screen.
-
- NOTE: Your monitor does not have to be ON to
- turn the screen toggle on, however, you will not see it until
- you turn the monitor on.
-
- F7 (Change User's download amount)
- ----------------------------------
- If a user has used up his allowed amount of download k-bytes
- for the day, he will not be allowed to download again until
- the next day. You may over-ride that by pressing F7 and
- giving him a new lower amount he has downloaded. Example:
- If a user has downloaded 500k today, and that is the
- limit you have set in CCONFIG, but you wish him to get
- a certain file, you may press F7 and tell Phoenix that he
- has only downloaded 10k. He will then be allowed to download
- 490k more today (in this example). The reverse is also true,
- you may up his amount downloaded today if need be to limit him.
-
-
- F8 (Terminate Connection)
- -------------------------
- If a user is ONLINE and you wish to disconnect him, simply press
- F8 and the connection will be terminated. If you have a file
- called "F8.BBS" created, this file will be dumped to the caller.
- This file could contain, "Sorry the sysop needed to use the
- system. Please call back later."
-
- F9 + <ENTER> (terminate Chat)
- ------------------------------
- Sysops of previous versions note that ^Z no longer works.
- To end a chat you must press F9 followed by a
- <RETURN> or <ENTER>.
-
-
- F10 (Terminate Phoenix)
- -----------------------
- Pressing F10 will terminate Phoenix and return you to DOS.

-
- ALT+F1 (Allowed)
- ----------------
- Pressing this key combination while a user is online will
- give him very special privledges. In combination with sysop
- user level and the ALT+F2 keys, it creates "SUPER SYSOP" which
- gives total access to everything in the system. This key alone
- will give access,(assuming the user has the proper
- user level to access the menu commands)
- to the two special area commands in update message system,
- Include To:/From:, and Public Only. It also allows a user who
- can access the userlog, to see and change passwords, security,
- overwrite, allowed, access to comments, and the lockout
- and revoke toggles. In the message base, it gives him the
- ability to see the to:/from: message headers in an area that
- does not send those normally, also he can see the user
- number displayed after the from: display. For sysop level, it
- also gives access to more "read messages commands". This
- toggle stays in the user record until you remove it.
-
- ALT+F2 (Access to comments)
- ---------------------------
- Without this keyset, it is impossible even for sysop level
- to read comments. A normal user level may also be allowed to
- read comments, but he will not have access to the sysop-specific
- commands like public/private, move, kill, etc. This is the only
- time a user lower than sysop level will be allowed to read
- messages to someone other than himself or public. He will be
- permitted to read comments. No other messages that are not his
- or public will be available to him. This toggle stays in the
- user record until you remove it.
-
- PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend that you experiment with
- these two keys at various user levels to see exactly what
- the system will permit or not. Although we tell you, it never
- is as clear as when you experience it. Primarily, the differences
- fall into two classes, sysop level and user levels. All user
- levels will respond the same as long as the user level is equal
- to or higher than what is needed to accesss a message base
- or a particular sysop menu command.
- Note that these are toggles, press them once and you have
- permission, again and you don't. These work only for someone
- online or logged in locally. There are other commands to give
- a user these permissions (allowed and acccess) in the
- user maintenance facility (sysop menu command number 5 in the
- distribution menus) for someone who is not presently online.
