› Óåôôéîçó ››Example usage:››Settings›› This command allows you to change any of the following items: Password, screen size, clear screen code, section tags, continuous mode, clear screens, page breaks, 80 columns, line feeds, Vt-52 mode, color mode, header, and "$" macro.›› When changing your password, what you are typing will be hidden. You will also be asked to verify what you typed by typing it in again (just to make sure you didn't make a typo). Your screen size value is the number of lines contained in one screen of text. The BBS uses this value to determine how often to display the ­Íïòå­ prompt. With most computers, this value is 24 or 25 lines per page, but it varies. The clear screen code is the value of your clear screen character when in ASCII mode only. ATASCII users should not switch this value to the ATASCII equivalent. This value is also not used when in VT-52 mode. This value should normally be 12.›› The section tags are used to define the meaning of the word "ALL" when doing a message base READ/SCAN, or when doing a BROWSE/DIRECTORY in the file area. "ALL" means all tagged sections. You may find it useful to untag sections that you have no interest in to save time having to abort onto the next section. When tagging/untagging a section, the sections listing will first be shown to you (refer to the SECTIONS command for more detailed information about this display), then you will be asked which command you would like to tag/untag. Simply type in the keyword of the section you would like to change the tag on, or hitting return will return you to the settings command.›› The next 8 settings tell the BBS which features your terminal program supports, and what your preferences are on how certain functions will be carried out. The first of these settings is the continuous mode. Turning this feature on will make messages and file descriptions continuously scroll by without displaying the  Û¿Ý¯Ãíäº prompt. This is useful if you want to capture all the messages (or file descriptions) and read them off line (to save on time or long-distance charges). Hitting ÛÓðáãåÝ at any time will bring up that command prompt in case you decide you would like to do something different.›› With the clear screens setting enabled, clear screens will be displayed. You may find it's better not to have this setting on so that if the BBS is doing something else, you can still be reading what was previously displayed (when going to the next message during a message read for instance).›› With page breaks enabled, the prompt ­Íïòå­ will be displayed after each page of text, and it will wait for you to either hit ÛÓðáãåÝ or ÛÒåôõòîÝ before continuing. This is so text won't scroll off of the screen before you have a chance to read it.›› 80-column mode should be turned on if you have an 80-column (or larger) display. This way you will be able to fit more information on your screen at once.›› Linefeeds should always be on unless your terminal program "simulates" linefeeds. Most Atari (8-bit) terminal programs will simulate linefeeds, however, they will also strip them out if they are sent. The BBS will be insignificantly faster if you can turn them off, but faster nevertheless.›› If you are calling with a computer that supports VT-52 graphics (like an ST), it is strongly recommended that you turn this option on to get the most out of the BBS. VT-52 mode greatly enhances the readability of the BBS's output. If you have trouble using VT-52 (the text appears as spaces, or inverse spaces, or something similar) make sure that the first 4 screen colors are different. You should be able to set your screen colors from within your terminal program, or from your desktop. I suggest using these colors:››Color 0: Dark Blue or Black›Color 1: Red›Color 2: Green›Color 3: White›› If your terminal program supports VT-52, but you are using a monochrome monitor, turn the next configuration (color mode) off. This will allow inverse to still be displayed without messing up your screen by trying to display color.›› If you dislike seeing the header (the one-line message displayed right before the command prompt), you can turn it off. It will also not ask you if you want to change the header anymore by turning this off.›› The final item is the "$" macro. This macro can be made to print anything you want (up to 30 characters) when this key is pressed at the command prompt. This macro defaults to "Read all new, Browse all new", but if you are in 80 columns, you may want to change it to "Sections,R all new,B all new". This way, the number of new messages and new files for each section will be displayed first (so you'll know what to expect). Notice Read and Browse must be abbreviated for this macro to fit into 30 characters (Sections could be abbreviated as "Se" also).›
