- PAMMUG BBS Help - Default Options
- ---------------------------------
-
- To change your default options, type D at the Main Menu prompt. You will be
- shown the following:
-
- 1. Screen size : 80 X 24
- 2. ANSI : Color
- 3. Pause on screen : Yes
- 4. Mailbox : Normal
- 5. Screen Clears : Yes
- 6. Configure Q-scan
- 7. Change password
- 8. Change colors
- Q. Quit to main menu
-
-
- After this list is display you can choose to change options 1-8 by typing the
- corresponding number, or you can type Q to return to the Main Menu.
-
-
- Here is a list of what each option does:
-
- 1. Screen size. The screen width is usually 40 or 80, although some terminals
- use 32 or 64. This information is used to format messages for your screen
- size. The number of lines on your display is also asked for. Most
- computers have 25 lines per screen.
-
- 2. ANSI graphics. If your terminal supports ANSI graphics, you should
- have this option set ON. It will allow the BBS to change the color of
- text on your screen and move the cursor around more efficiently.
- If you have it set on, you will also have to tell whether or not you have
- a color screen.
-
- 3. Pause on screen. If you are using a high-speed modem, some information
- may scroll off the screen faster than you can read it. You may use ctrl-S
- to pause the screen, but it might be easier to use this option. If
- the pause is set on, the BBS will pause when your screen is full of
- information, wait for you to hit a key, then resume.
-
- 4. Mailbox. If, for some reason, you do not wish to receive mail from other
- users, you may "close" your mailbox. You also have the option of having
- your mail forwarded to another user. For example, if you will be on
- vacation you may want your mail forwarded.
-
- 5. Screen Clears. This allows you to set whether or not you want the BBS
- to be able to clear your screen.
-
- 6. Configured Q-scan. This lets you identify which sub-boards you want to
- Q-scan in a N:ewscan.
-
- 7. Change password. If you want to change your password, this option
- should be used.
-
- 8. Colors. If you have the ANSI graphics option set on, you will be able
- to set which colors you would like displayed for prompts, questions, etc.
