             Conversion Mask; The mask field allows the user to specify
             the location of the various fields in the text file.
             If the text file record length is greater than 78 the
             mask will be entered in 2 separate fields.
             The following codes are used in the mask field
             N - indicates the positions to be used for the name field.
                 Only the first 25 n's in the mask will be used.
             P - indicates the positions to be used for the phone number.
                 Only the first 17 p's in the mask will be used.
             S - indicates the positions to be used for the available
                 line speeds. The highest line speed available for the
                 BBS will be compared against the default line speed
                 you have set in Telix. If the Telix default is lower,
                 it will be used.
                 Only the first 15 s's will be used. This field is not
                 required. If no s's are entered the default speed
                 specified in Telix will be used.
             The following example will show how the mask characters could
             be used to specify the format for a BBS list file.

             Points to remember about the mask fields. Either lower
             or upper case letters may be used (i.e. "N" or "n" will mean
             the same in the mask). The masking characters for a field
             DO NOT have to be continuous, This could be useful in picking
             up extra info to be put into the BBS name field (i.e. as in
             the example where SYSTEM will be included in the name).
