- Chat Manager enables you to chat with multiple other users at the
- same time. It also enables you to download at the same time using
- the CMP external protocol (ask your sysop!).
-
- As you start, you will see a screen listing all chats and their
- status. Select a chat by pressing it's key [A, B , C..]
-
- Selecting an empty chat will start a new one. If the subject wasn't
- fixed you will be asked to enter a subject. Then you'll have to wait
- until another user decides to join your chat. You could also list
- the users present in the BBS and ask or force them to enter Chat
- Manager.
-
- Everything you type in your window will be immediatly visible by all
- other chatters. Backspace and Enter can be used. Try a little, and
- you will get the feeling.
-
- Pressing Escape gives you a menu with some options;
-
- [O] Send a private One-liner, sends a private message to a specific
- BBSline within your Chat!
-
- [D] Download, enter filenames (wildcards allowed) of files you would
- like to download. Seperate them with spaces. CMP Protocol needed!
-
- [C] Cancel Download, only available when a download is in progress
-
- [I] Information display, gives you a review of some data including time
- left on BBS, subject of the chat and whether the chat is private.
-
- [N] New subject, allows a subjectchange that will inform possible new
- chatters looking for a chat what your (new) subject is.
-
- [T] Toggle private chat, Allow or disallow the admittance of new users
- to your chat.
-
- [P] Page the sysop. If this is enabled, you can page the sysop and
- if he is at home, he will probably join your chat within a few
- moments.
-
- [M] Messages Submenu
-
- [O] Send a private One-liner, sends a private message to a specific
- BBSline within your Chat!
-
-
- [S] Save as message. This saves all text in your window as a message
- to another user. Enter his name very carefully, or he will never
- receive the message. Screen is cleared after saving. Use SYSOP
- to save it to the Sysop. Below a certain userlevel you will only
- be able to write to the sysop and not to other users.
-
- [W] Window Submenu
-
- [R] Redraw your screen. Use this if your screen is messy because of a
- bad line or something like that.
-
- [E] Empty window, clears your window and relocates your cursor at the
- top.
-
- [L] Leave the Chat, return to the main screen.
-
- Avatar and Ansi are strongly recommended. Also the use of CMP, the
- Chat Manager Protocol is very useful. This protocol can be downloaded
- as CMP*.*. It enables you to download during chats, hear the sysop's
- paging tunes and use Avatar with non-avatar BBS's and communication
- programs.
