- You will not need to know how an emulation works. Just think of it as a
- screen translator. The remote sends control codes that will be translated
- by Terminate and shown on screen. In this way it is possible to change the
- colours and move around the screen. The only thing you need to know is what
- emulation the remote supports. If you only call normal BBS systems you won't
- need to change anything here, since the default emulation is set to
- Avatar/ANSI. That means Terminate understands both ANSI and AVATAR codes. If
- systems you call ask if you want AVATAR codes, say yes - then screens will
- be updated 30-40% faster than using ANSI codes. Some BBS systems will use
- some VT-102 scrolling commands that are the same as the ANSI-music; that is
- why the ANSI-music must be turned off when using those systems.
-
- Terminate provides 16 Terminal slots and each of these slots can be setup to
- act in different ways.
-
- The Avatar/ANSI module Terminate uses, is made by Gregory P. Smith and is
- called Pavatar. The ANSI-music module is made by Bo Bendtsen and
- donated to Gregory.

- Which terminal slot should be default when starting up Terminate.
- Do not get confused about all the emulations, always use the first
- emulation if it works. Some Unix systems demand some special things so, if
- you call some old system that only uses 7E1 and it does not work, try using
- the ANSI/VT-100 emulation.

- ^hEmulation^n
-
- Which emulation should Terminate use for this slot. You must know which
- emulation the other end is using. If this is not possible, try all the
- emulations one by one and see if one of them works. Avatar is the
- fastest emulation because it is able to 'compress' the screen a
- little. Avatar with ANSI fallback means that Terminate first will
- assume Avatar screen codes, but also translate ANSI codes. In this
- way Terminate supports both Avatar and ANSI at the same time.
- That is useful because many RemoteAccess/SuperBBS systems first look
- for Avatar (.AVT) files and if they are not found then ANSI (.ANS) files.
-
- ^hComment^n
-
- A small comment that will be shown when you choose default Terminal
- and Terminal in the phonebook. If you have a terminal without the
- statusline enabled you could make a comment about it here.
-
- ^hKeyboard file^n
-
- If you want a special keyboard file (.KBD) to be loaded when this
- terminal slot is selected. You can overwrite this in the phonebook
- by entering another keyboard mapping for that phonebook entry.
-
- ^hScroll screen^n
-
- Normally Terminate will scroll the screen down, but some systems will not
- need this, so you can just change this setting if you have problems.
-
- ^hLocal echo^n
-
- Toggles local echo. Local echo is sometimes also called ^hDUPLEX^n.
- Local echo off = Full duplex
- Local echo on = Half duplex
- When local echo is on, the characters you type will echo on the screen. If
- you have a modem connected, you may then see the characters twice every
- time you press a key. You normally always use local echo off (Full duplex)
-
- ^hAdd linefeed^n
-
- When Terminate gets #13 it is interpreted as if Terminate had also
- received a linefeed.
-
- ^hStrip high^n
-
- Strip all characters above ASCII 127 on incoming traffic. Should not
- be used normally.
-
- ^hErase backspace^n
-
- When pressing backspace (ASCII 8) then if this option is On, the
- cursor will move 1 back and erase the character, Off will only
- move the cursor 1 back. Default is On.
-
- ^hIgnore null^n
-
- If a system sends nulls (#0), Terminate ignore them when this is turned
- on. TTY and VT52 emulations ignore these.
-
- ^hStatusline^n
-
- When using a terminal slot, you can choose to show the statusline on the
- screen. This is normally always turned on. With this option you can select
- a terminal slot for a phone entry that has the statusline turned off when
- you call that system.
-
- ^hANSI music^n
-
- Allow ANSI music when using this emulation. Note that VT-102 cannot
- use ANSI music because a scroll command ESC[M starts with the same
- code as ANSI music.

-
- Each keyboard file contains a complete set of codes that will be sent when
- you press the function or special keys on your keyboard. Different
- emulations need special characters to be sent when, for example, you press
- F1. You have 20 chars for each entry and 40 chars for the Ctrl-F1..Ctrl-F12
- keys.
-
- ^bC- = Ctrl Sh- = Shift^n
-
- As you can see in this AVATAR.KBD file, I have set up my name on Ctrl-F1.
- Then my name will be sent in terminal mode when I press Ctrl-F1. It's a good
- idea to insert your name, address, city, etc, here because most systems will
- ask you for this information and then you don't have to enter it manually
- over and over again.
-
- A special command is @DIAL, which you can insert anywhere. When you then
- press this key. Terminate will enter the phonebook, tag the entries and
- start dialing the numbers.
-
- ^h@DIAL 5 6 7 8 9 10^n
-
- Will tag and then start dialing these entries. If you have a system you
- call very often, you can enter the entry number from the phonebook here
- and then you can call this system by pressing just one key. In the example
- F11 is used. Remember to turn on enhanced keyboard in toggles first or
- use other keys than F11 and F12.
-
- You should not change ^hGrey PgUp/PgDn^n unless 100% necessary, because these
- keys are used for the upload and download menu.
-
- Another default setting only for Denmark is Ctrl-F7. This turns off
- something we call "knock on door". Which means that, on digital lines while
- we are talking to another person, we hear a beep when a 3rd person calls.
- Since this noise on the line might interfere, we turn it off. Ctrl-F8 turns
- it on again (at the phone company)
-
- If you need any special characters here, just press Alt-A while editing -
- then you can select from the ASCII selector. Terminate will understand both
- a #13 and '^M' as the same. The reason that ^M will be translated into a #13
- (return) when it is sent, is to remain compatible with old terminal programs
- that don't have an ASCII selector like Terminate and then it would be
- impossible to edit that character. The keyboard string and modem strings
- will understand the ^ parameter.
-
- ^@ = 0, ^A = 1, ^M = 13. It is because the ASCII value of a M is 77,
- from that is deducted 64 (77-64) equals 13.
