-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Setup ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Setup screen allows you to turn on/off lots of options. Below is brief
- description of each option.
-
- Close window after Send This option if checked will automatically close the
- Send window when the Send button is pressed. This option is good if
- you only send out an occasional sticky. This way you don't have to
- close the window by pressing the Close button. The default if OFF.
-
- Close Window after Reply This option if checked will automatically close the
- Reply window when the Send button is pressed. This option is
- recommended since you should only be replying to a sticky with one
- sticky back. The default is ON.
-
- Popup Sticky on Receive This option when checked will force the Sticky Note
- Receive screen to the forground. That is, it will pop up the Sticky
- screen over whatever you are doing. If this doesn't bother you then
- go for it. If NOT checked then the Received Sticky note is display
- but the window is forced to the background. The default is OFF.
-
- Are You Sure Prompts If checked then a warning screen will be displayed before
- deleting data. The default is ON.
-

- Right mouse to popup a menu of options. If this option is Off, then
- the Sticky program will be displayed as a bar, with buttons for
- Send, Config, Clear, Exit and About. In either case when Maximized

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Names ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

- names you can send Sticky/2 Notes to. You must add names before you can send a
- Sticky/2 note to them.
-
- Sort This option when checked will sort the names in the list. It will
- use the characters from Left to Right. That is why there is the
- Last name first option.

- Last name first This option will list the names in Last_Name, First_Name.
- Since all names are entered 'FirstName LastName' This feature will
- allow you to list the names either way. The default is ON.
-
- Port 6711 Lets face it. Almost all of the people you will be sending sticky
- notes to will be listening on Port 6711. If for some reason 1 user
- is listening on a different port then you MUST NOT select this
- option. Selecting this option forces all names in the Names
- database to default to port 6711.

- Add To add a Name, just key in the name, host and port (if you don't

-
- The Auto Reply screen is a feature you can set to Automatically reply to a
- received sticky note. That is if you are away from your desk for awhile or on
- vacation, you can notify the host that contacted you with that information.
-
- Enable Auto Reply This option turns ON/OFF the autoreply feature. If not
- checked then NO autoreply information will be sent. If on, then you
- have a bunch of options you can set. In future releases these
- options may be defaulted to always on if AutoReply is turned on.
- Since I see no reason to not send the Program infomation to the
- connecting host. The default if OFF
-
- Include Version number The windows version of Sticky has a way of
- sending information about itself to the connecting

- If you are using AutoReply then it is recommended to
- select this option. The default is ON
-
- Include Local Time Received This option will send to the connecting
- host the Local time of your machine. It is a good
- feature for connecting to hosts around the world. The
- default is ON.
-
- Include Your Name This option if checked will send your 'User' name
- to the connecting host. It is good to select this
- option and let the connecting host know who they are
- connecting to. The default is ON
-
- reply message This is a message you can automatically send back to
- the connecting host when they send you a Sticky note.
- It is limited to 255 characters since I don't think
