Fewer Than 10 File Handles

  File handles are used to access files and some special devices in
a DOS system.  The number of available file handles you have left in
your system at this time may be too few for using functions in
RoseReader.

  The internal compression and editor are two functions that will
possibly need more file handles than are available.

  This may also affect other programs that you use on your computer.

  To correct this problem you should change or create a file called
CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of the disk you boot your system from.
This file should contain a line that says "FILES=" and gives a number.
We recommend that this number be between 20 and 30 for normal operation.
Door Prompts Configuration

  This window allows you to set the mail door prompts that the BBS you
call will use to operate. It is recommended that use the default set
for the door that you call, as listed below.

  You should only need to change these prompts if you use a mail door
that is not supported or your sysop has changed the prompts.

  RoseMail door users will not need to do any of this configuration as
the RoseReader has these prompts at all times.  Ensure that you are
using the RoseMail door in your main prompts section.

Available Commands:

Alt-F1 will set QMail V3.0 door default prompts.
Alt-F2 will set QMail V4.0 door default prompts.
Alt-F3 will set MarkMail door default prompts.
Information Message

  This window displays an information message from a RoseReader
function. The message may also suggest an action to be taken.
Normally, however, there is no required action.
Option Not Available

  This window displays a message to inform you that the function you
have requested can not be used due to the key file you are currently
using.  If you wish to use this function you must upgrade to a keyfile
that will allow you to use more functions.
  To upgrade, please use DOOR 2 (type REGISTER at the PCBoard command
prompt) on Rose Media (at 416-733-0894).

Drop DTR to hangup:    Dropping the DTR is the most reliable method of
                       hanging up the modem and should be used if your
                       modem supports it.

Use 16550 UART:        The 16550A UART has a FIFO buffer that will make
                       high speed communication more accurate.

Auto Baud Detect:      If you are not using a locked baud rate,
                       RoseReader can be set to change the baud to match
                       the connection speed.

XON/XOFF flow control: Software flow controls are used to tell the
                       sender to stop sending information if the buffers
                       fill.  If your modem supports CTS/RTS hardware
                       flow controls, you should use it instead.

CTS/RTS flow control:  If your modem supports CTS/RTS flow controls,
                       you should set this option to YES.  This option
                       is especially needed on high speed modems.
Communication Options   (3 of 3)

Relaxed timing:        If you receive a lot of timeout errors while
                       transferring files, set this option to YES.

Auto ZModem downloads: When YES, ZModem downloads will be started
                       automatically.
