 Your user configuration affects how Fortress displays many things for you.  It
is, of course, alterable by the user.  If you wish to change several
settings or are unfamiliar with the options available, the easiest way to
alter these settings is by invoking the User Configuration Menu.  To get to
the menu, type:
 
   .E(nter) C(onfiguration)
 
 If you wish to change only one or two settings and you are familiar with the
available options, you can change each setting individually by using the
command:
 
   .E(nter) O(ption)
 
 followed by the option to change and the value for that option.  Available
options are as follows:
 
 A(sk for subjects); when you E(nter) a message, Fortress will ask you for a
subject for that message.  (On replies to previous messages, Fortress
automatically generates an `Re: subject' line, which you may edit.)
 
 C(r/lf); Fortress will output CR/LF for newlines.  Most terminals and terminal
programs require this; the only time you need to turn this off is when you see
that all output is being double-spaced.
 
 E(xpert); makes Fortress a bit less verbose in its prompts and replies.
 
 F(loor mode); This tells Fortress how you want to do room movement.  If you
are in floor mode, Fortress will stay on a floor as long as possible when doing
G(oto)'s, and will only show rooms on the current floor for K(nown) rooms.
 
 H(eader format); Selects either Citadel-format message headers or multiline
message headers.  Multiline (long) message-headers are the only ones that
provide an indication of how many more messages are left unread for the current
read command.
 
 I(D's); If on, Fortress displays the message number in the message header.
 
 M(ore); If on, Fortress will treat all read commands as if you had selected
the m(ore) option; i.e. - N(ew) acts like you did .R(ead) M(ore) N(ew), etc.
 
 N(ulls); If your terminal program loses characters at the beginning of each
line, you should set this to some nonzero value; If this is nonzero, Fortress
will send however many NUL characters (ASCII 0) you want after it does a
newline.
 
 O(ld on new); When doing a N(ew) or R(ead) N(ew), display the last old message
first, to provide context for the new messages about to be read.
 
 P(agelength); If nonzero, OVERMIND will pause output after however many lines
(when you are reading messages or helpfiles) and prompt you `More...'  This is
handy for highspeed modems and for people who don't like to lean on [P] all the
time.  At the `More...' prompt, Q quits the reading command, as does S; J jumps
to the next paragraph; A restarts the article/helpfile, and N jumps to the next
article (just like the keys you can strike when output is scrolling).
 
 (o)R(ganizations); Displays the organization field of the node where each
message originated from, if one exists.
 
 S(ubjects); Displays subject fields on messages, if they exist.
 
 T(ime of messages); Display the time of day that the messages were entered.
 
 V(alues); shows your current user configuration.
 
 W(idth); sets your terminal width.
 
 Y(- choose default protocol); sets the default protocol for use with the
D(ownload) command.  In the future, when a larger set of file commands are
available, this will set the default protocol for all of them.  When you select
this option, Fortress will prompt you for the first character of the transfer
protocol that you want - you may select X(modem), Y(modem-single), W(xmodem),
V(anilla), or just press RETURN to deactivate the protocols.  If deactivated,
the protocol will default to Xmodem.
