-
-
- This appendix contains a quick reference list of the keyword
- values which NCSA Telnet allows in its configuration file.

- There are two sections in this appendix. The first list contains the
- PC configuration entries which apply to the overall program or to
- all sessions. The second section contains the list of attributes
- which you may assign to individual sessions. Each keyword has

- details on allowed values, see Chapter 7, "Installation and
- Configuration." A template CONFIG.TEL file is included on the
- distribution disk.
