- ===== Function Help - [P]age Length =================================
-
- The [P] function allows you to alter the number of lines of text that
- are displayed on your screen before asking if you want "More".
- The "More" prompt only appears when displaying directories, help files,
- ASCII files, and bulletins whose number of text lines exceed the
- number of screen lines specified using the [P] prompt.
-
- The default number of text lines is 23. This figure works best with
- CrossTalk, PC-TALK, QMODEM and other software programs that leave the
- entire screen clear except for line 25. If you are using Hayes' com-
- munications program - SCOM - you may wish to change your number of
- text lines to 22, since SCOM uses two lines at the bottom of their
- screen for messages. This setting will prevent having data you
- haven't had a chance to read from scrolling off the top of your screen.
-
- Once you have specified a different number of screen lines, that
- setting will remain in effect permanently. When you logoff, the number
- you entered in written into your user file so that on future calls
- the number of text lines will be as you have specified previously.
