- @X0FWelcome to PCBoard Group Chat@X07
-
- In Group Chat, there many channels available so that more than one chat may
- take place at any given time.
-
- When you join Group Chat you must first select a '@X0Chandle@X07' to use. Then
- decide which '@X0Cchannel@X07' you wish to participate in. You can join an on-going
- discussion, or use the CALL command to invite others to join into a new topic
- on an unused channel.
-
- While in Group Chat, people can read what you type as you type it. However,
- only one person has the "focus". The "focus" is used so that only one person
- can be typing while others, if they *do* type, do not interrupt. However, you
- *may* type ahead! PCBoard will allow up to one line of text while waiting for
- the focus.
-
- If you use Split Screen mode, you may then type as much as you want prior to
- hitting ENTER. It is recommended that you use the NOECHO command so that when
- you do hit ENTER the keystrokes will not be sent back to you. NOECHO also
- removes the one line limit in case you don't get the focus right away.
-
- CAUTION: In split screen mode, the only way to access commands is to press
- ESC, type the command letters and *then* press the ENTER key. If you press
- ESC and then press ENTER to send the ESC the command prompt will accept your
- ENTER key as a cancel for command mode. Example: press ESC, type MENU, then
- press the ENTER key.
