Software Requirements

     RIPterm requires that you be using an IBM-PC compatible computer
     system running MS-DOS version 3.0 or higher.  You must have 640K. 
     A hard disk is strongly recommended.  You must have an EGA or
     higher video adapter and a Microsoft compatible Mouse and a Modem
     connected to a serial port from COM1-COM4.  A color monitor is
     strongly recommended.  This software does not require Extended or
     Expanded (EMS) memory, but can take advantage of either one if
     they are present.

Entering the phone number to dial

     Please enter the telephone number you wish to dial.  You may enter
     any numeric digits (0-9).  Hyphens are ignored.  Enter a comma
     for a 1/2 second delay (eg, 9,1714-555-1212).  You may need to add
     delays if you have to use a special service or a switchboard to
     obtain an outside line dial-tone.
Dialing the modem

     The dialing window will appear when RIPterm is physically attempting
     to dial the modem.  On this window will be displayed the number of
     seconds that have elapsed, the time that dialing started, the time
     of the last re-dial attempt, the telephone number and other various
     information about the state of the dialing.

     Simply tapping <ENTER> will abort the current dialing attempt and
     start over.  Tapping <ESC> or clicking on "Cancel" will abort dialing
     entirely.

Pull-Down menus

     The pull down menus are very easy to use on RIPterm.  Simply click
     on the right mouse button and while it is depressed, a menu bar 
     will appear at the top of your screen displaying the available menu
     items to choose from.  Simply move the mouse pointer to any of these
     items and a list of menu options will appear below the menu bar.
     At this point, move the Mouse Cursor down into this list of items and
     as you move over different items, they will be hilighted.  To select
     any given item, release the right mouse button while on top of the
     desired option.

     Most options in the Pull Down menus have corresponding Hot-Keys that
     you can choose.  Hot-Keys are keyboard short cuts that you can use
     if you know RIPterm well.  Hot-Keys make it so that you do not have
     to use the Mouse to access Pull-Down menu options.

     Some menu options are "toggle" items.  If an option is toggled ON,
     then you will see a check-mark beside the option.

     Finally, there may be items which are not selectable in the Pull
     Down menu system.  These items appear in gray and are considered
     "Ghosted".  Ghosted items cannot be hilighted or selected.
Help on Help

     The Help System of RIPterm is quite simple to use.  You may at any
     time return to the Table of Contents by clicking on the "Contents"
     button at the bottom of the screen.  If you have navigated through
     various Help Screens, you can back-up to the previous screen by
     clicking on the "Back" button.  Any words or phrases which are
     hilighted are "keywords" which you can click on to jump to that
     help topic.  You may also use TAB and SHIFT-TAB to hilight different
     keywords.  The Arrow keys may also be used for convenience.  Simply
     tap <ENTER> and the currently selected keyword (if any) will be
     selected and RIPterm will jump to that help screen.
Help on Menu Help

     This option will allow you to view Help Information on the various
     PULL-DOWN MENU options.  A window will appear instructing you to
     select a pull-down menu option for help.  Simply click on the right
     mouse button and pull down the desired menu.  Select an option, and
     a Help Screen will appear on that item.  When finished, tap the
     <ESC> key to exit "Menu Help" mode.
Project: About RIPterm

     This option will display a Help screen displaying the COPYRIGHT
     Information of the Software.
Project: System Info

     This option will display the amount of RAM memory currently avail-
     able as well as the amount of disk space free on the currently
     selected hard disk.
Project: Help System
     
     This option will display the help system's TABLE OF CONTENTS.
Project: Help on Menus

     This option will allow you to view Help Information on the various
     PULL-DOWN MENU options.  A window will appear instructing you to
     select a pull-down menu option for help.  Simply click on the right
     mouse button and pull down the desired menu.  Select an option, and
     a Help Screen will appear on that item.  When finished, tap the
     <ESC> key to exit "Menu Help" mode.
Project: Exit

     This option will exit RIPterm and return to DOS.  If your modem
     configuration is set to "modem dialing", and you are currently
     online, a dialog box will appear asking if you wish to hang-up
     before exiting.  If you choose NO at this option, you will remain
     online even after you have exited to DOS.  Use this option with
     caution, as if you forget that you are online, you could charge
     up a considerable long distance bill.
Options: Status Line

     The Status Line displays various important information about the
     current State of RIPterm.  Information displayed includes:

          How to get Help (ie, F1)
          What Terminal Emulation is in use (eg, RIPscrip)
          The current Baud Rate, Parity Setting, Data Bits and Stop bits
          Full-Duplex of Half-Duplex settings (eg, FDX or HDX)
          The COM port that is currently in use (eg, COM1, etc)
          The current Version Number of RIPterm
          Whether you are "Online" or "Offline"

     To TOGGLE THE STATUS LINE "on" or "off", hit ALT-SPACE.
Options: Zoom Windows

     In RIPterm, whenever a window or dialog box pops up on the screen,
     it will "zoom in" and "zoom out" giving a visual feeling of the
     window opening or closing.  This will slow down operation of the
     windowing system a small amount.  For optimal performance of RIPterm,
     toggle Zooming Windows Off.  
Options: Clear GRAPHICS Window

     RIPterm uses two windows in RIPscrip graphics mode, a Graphics Window
     and a Text Window.  The Text Window is where all non-graphics data is
     displayed.  The Graphics Window is where all graphical RIPscrip
     commands are displayed.  

     Choose this option to clear the Graphics Window only.  If the Graphics
     Window overlaps the Text Window, then some of the text may be erased
     in the process.  The window is cleared to the current background color
     which, by default, is BLACK.

     NOTE: The Graphics Window is often, full screen
Options: Clear the TEXT Window

     RIPterm uses two windows in RIPscrip graphics mode, a Graphics Window
     and a Text Window.  The Graphics Window is where all graphical
     RIPscrip commands are displayed.  The Text Window is where all non-
     graphics data is displayed.  

     Choose this option to clear the Texts Window only.  If the Text
     Window overlaps the Graphics Window, then some of the graphics may be
     erased in the process.  The window is cleared to BLACK and the cursor
     moved to the upper left corner of the window.

     NOTE: The Text Window, by default, is full screen.  This may be
           changed by RIPscrip graphics commands.
Options: RESET all Windows

     This command will reset the Text and Graphics Windows to full screen.
     In addition, the screen is cleared and the cursor moved to the upper
     left hand corner of the screen.  This is equivalent to a Clear Screen
     command in other software packages.  In addition, the color palette
     is reset to the standard 16 ANSI colors.
Modem: Modem Settings

     This dialog box will allow you to modify your modem configuration.
     You may alter the Modem Initialization commands, the Auto-Answer
     string (not currently used), and the Modem Reset command string.
     These options use standard Hayes-compatible modem commands.  If you
     wish to insert a "pause" into the command, simply insert a comma.

     In addition to modem commands, you may set the current COM port,
     the Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity Setting and Baud Rate.  Standard
     settings are either 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and NO parity (8N1),
     or 7 data bits, 1 stop bit and EVEN parity (7E1).  Additional options
     allow you to specify Touch Tone or Rotary (pulse) dialing, the number
     of seconds to wait for a connection (Redial Time), whether to add
     CR/LF combinations and whether RIPterm is connected directly to a 
     modem or not.

     To alter the serial port IRQ settings, choose the INTERRUPT SETUP
     option.

     These settings are part of the setup, so once you alter them, you
     should choose the SAVE SETUP option.
Modem: Save Setup

     This option will save a number of configuration parameters for the
     RIPterm software.  Among the various items maintained in the Setup
     are:

          Modem Setup 
          Zooming Windows ON/OFF
          Status Bar ON/OFF
          Serial Port Interrupt settings
          CR/LF settings
          Echo Keystrokes setting
          Scrollback Buffer Size

     Each time you load RIPterm, the setup is loaded and used for the
     current online session.

     Setup information is contained in a file called RIPTERM.CNF
Modem: Echo Keystrokes

     This command will toggle whether RIPterm should echo keystrokes to
     the terminal locally, or let the Host BBS perform the echoing.
     Normally, the Host will do this for you so Echo is by default, OFF.
     In some situations though, you may wish to toggle them ON.  One
     such situation is if you are directly connected to another person's
     computer via Modem and are typing to them in a "chat-like" manner.
Modem: Dial the Modem

     This command will prompt you to enter the telephone number to dial.
     You may enter any digits from 0-9.  Hyphens are ignored.  If you
     need to obtain a delay before continuing the rest of the phone 
     number, simply enter a comma (,) for a 1/2 second pause.  After
     entering the phone number, the DIALING window will appear showing
     you the current status of RIPterm as it dials the modem.
Modem: Hangup the Modem

     This option will physically attempt to disconnect the modem, thus
     logging you off of whatever Host you are connected to.
Modem: Add CR/LF

     This option will add CR/LF combinations at the end of text lines.
     Normally, this is not necessary.  Some Host Services however, 
     require that CR/LF's be ON for you to see text properly.  Normally,
     this option is OFF.  You may toggle it ON if need be.  

     If text coming across the modem does not move to the next line, then
     you need to turn this option ON.  If every line of text is separated
     by a blank line, then you need to toggle this option OFF.
Options: Text scroll-back

     This option will activate the text scrollback system.  This allows
     you to view previously displayed text information that has come
     across the modem.  You may set the SCROLLBACK SIZE to a buffer
     size of 5-64k of memory.  
     
     Within Scroll-back, you may choose from the following options:

          SAVE buffer page to a text file
          SAVE entire buffer to a text file
          PRINT the current buffer page, or the entire buffer
          SEARCH for a particular piece of text
          SEARCH again for a previously searched for text string

     At the top of the Scroll-back screen are a number of Icons for the 
     above commands.  In addition, are Icons for scrolling UP/DOWN and
     Paging UP/DOWN or moving to the BEGINNING or END of the buffer.

     NOTE: The scroll-back buffer filters out ANSI color codes and
           RIPscrip graphics for an uncluttered text display.
Options: Set Scrollback Size

     This option allows you to specify how much RAM memory RIPterm should
     use for the Scroll-back buffer.  You may choose from 5-64k of memory.
     Depending on how much conventional memory you have on your computer,
     this may limit the amount of memory you can allocate to scroll-back.
     We recommend that you set it to somewhere around 32k unless you know
     that your PC has quite a bit of its 640k memory free for use.  If
     you have numerous Memory Resident Programs (TSR's) loaded, you may
     need to drop the size of your Scroll-back buffer to a smaller value
     for proper operation of RIPterm.

     If RIPterm runs out of memory, it will begin to discard old Scroll-
     back information until it can satisfy the memory request.
Options: Keystroke Macro Editor

     This option will allow you to edit "Hot Keys" in RIPterm.  Macros are
     functions that you can define to perform short-cut operations on the
     BBS Host.  For example, you can instruct RIPterm to make the F5 key
     type your User-ID and hit <ENTER> for you.  This would allow you to
     log-on quickly by simply tapping a single key.  RIPterm's Macro 
     system is easy to use, and very powerful!  You can save your macro
     keys to the default Macro file (RIPTERM.KEY), or if you need to have
     multiple macro configurations, you can save macros to different files.
Project: Open Log File

     A "Log File" is a feature that captures information coming across
     the screen to a text file of your choice.  ANSI color codes and
     RIPscrip graphics commands are filtered out for your convenience.
     This command can be very powerful on Information Services where you
     want to save data coming across the screen to a file that you can
     read when offline, at your leisure.  A Log File can be as big as
     you want, up to the amount of currently available disk space.  

     If a Log-File is open, and you choose EXIT RIPTERM, it will be
     automatically closed.

     If a Log-File is currently open, selecting Log-File again will
     automatically close the file and terminate Log-File mode.
Transfer: Download a File

     This command will allow you to physically download (receive) a file
     from the Host BBS to your PC.  This is done by what's called a
     "protocol" transfer.  a protocol is like a language that humans
     speak.  There are a number of languages like French, English,
     Italian, etc.  If two people are speaking in different languages,
     the net result is that no communication occurs.  The same goes for
     protocols.  Both the Host BBS and the Terminal (ie, RIPterm) must
     use the same protocol if they are to communicate properly.  

     In order to download a file, instruct the Host BBS to download a
     specific file, select a protocol from the menu of available 
     protocols.  When the Host says "ready to download...", choose the
     Download option of RIPterm and select the corresponding protocol
     that you chose on the Host.  Enter a filename to save to your
     local hard disk and the File Transfer will commence.  When the
     transfer is done, you will be returned to Terminal Mode and the
     file will either exist on your hard disk, or will be incomplete
     or missing entirely if an error occured.

     Currently, only X-Modem (CRC) protocol is supported by RIPterm.

Transfer: Upload a File

     This command will allow you to physically upload (send) a file
     to the Host BBS from your PC.  This is done by what's called a
     "protocol" transfer.  a protocol is like a language that humans
     speak.  There are a number of languages like French, English,
     Italian, etc.  If two people are speaking in different languages,
     the net result is that no communication occurs.  The same goes for
     protocols.  Both the Host BBS and the Terminal (ie, RIPterm) must
     use the same protocol if they are to communicate properly.  

     In order to upload a file, instruct the Host BBS to upload a
     specific file, select a protocol from the menu of available 
     protocols.  When the Host says "ready to upload...", choose the
     Upload option of RIPterm and select the corresponding protocol
     that you chose on the Host.  Enter a filename to send from your
     local hard disk and the File Transfer will commence.  When the
     transfer is done, you will be returned to Terminal Mode and if
     there were no errors in transmission, the file will exist on the
     Host BBS.

     Currently, only X-Modem (CRC) protocol is supported by RIPterm.

Modem: Serial Port Interrupt Setup

     THIS IS AN ADVANCED OPTION AND SHOULD NOT BE USED UNLESS YOU ARE
     FAMILIAR WITH IBM-PC INTERRUPTS AND HARDWARE SETUP!

     This option allows you to customize the Interrupt (IRQ) settings
     for each of your four COM ports.  Normally this will not be
     necessary.  However, some PC's have special configurations that
     require the terminal's setup to be altered if the serial ports
     are to function properly.

     There are five different Interrupts that can be selected for
     each COM port (2, 3, 4, 5, and 7).  If two serial ports in the
     computer use the same Interrupt (ie, a Conflict), then problems
     may arise.
Transfer: ASCII Upload Settings

     This option allows you to modify the default settings for ASCII
     (text) uploads.  Some BBS'es are picky about how fast they can
     take text data being uploaded to them.  With this in mind, you
     can set a short delay in between each line of text sent to the
     host, and/or you can set a delay in between each character sent
     to the host.  Fine tuning this can make ASCII text uploads fast
     and the most optimized they can be for the host systems you
     call.

Project: Jump to DOS

     The "Jump to DOS" feature allows you to shell-out to an MS-DOS
     environment while remaining in the Terminal Program.  You would
     use this if you wanted to obtain a DOS directory, or to run an
     editor, or use DOS in general.  To return to RIPterm from within
     DOS, type "EXIT" at the DOS prompt.

Transfer: Upload & Download

     You have the following upload/download protocols to choose from:

          X-Modem (CRC) 
          X-Modem (1K blocks)
          Y-Modem (batch)
          Z-Modem (batch)
          ASCII text (log-file)

     Simply type <PGDN> for "download file", or <PGUP> for "upload".


MODEM SETUP INFORMATION

     This dialog box will allow you to modify your modem configuration.
     You may alter the Modem Initialization commands, the Auto-Answer
     string (not currently used), and the Modem Reset command string.
     These options use standard Hayes-compatible modem commands.  If you
     wish to insert a "pause" into the command, simply insert a comma.

     In addition to modem commands, you may set the current COM port,
     the Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity Setting and Baud Rate.  Standard
     settings are either 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and NO parity (8N1),
     or 7 data bits, 1 stop bit and EVEN parity (7E1).  Additional options
     allow you to specify Touch Tone or Rotary (pulse) dialing, the number
     of seconds to wait for a connection (Redial Time), whether to add
     CR/LF combinations and whether RIPterm is connected directly to a 
     modem or not.

     To alter the serial port IRQ settings, choose the INTERRUPT SETUP
     option.

     These settings are part of the setup, so once you alter them, you
     should choose the SAVE SETUP option.

MODEM INIT STRING HELP

     This field is the modem command that is physically sent to the
     modem when RIPterm boots up.  All modem commands begin with an
     "AT", short for 'ATtention'.  At the end of the command should
     be a ^M (carriage return).  You may specify control characters
     by preceding the character with a caret (^).  So, a CTRL-C would
     be ^C.

     For more information on available Modem Commands, consult your
     modem manual.
MODEM AUTO-ANSWER STRING HELP

     This modem command is what would be sent to the modem to set it
     for "auto-answer" mode.  Auto-Answer means that the modem will
     automatically answer the phone when it RING's.  All modem commands
     begin with an "AT", short for 'ATtention'.  At the end of the
     command should be a ^M (carriage return).  You may specify control
     characters by preceding the character with a caret (^).  So, a
     CTRL-C would be ^C.

     For more information on available Modem Commands, consult your
     modem manual.

     NOTE: RIPterm does not currently take advantage of Auto-Answer mode!
MODEM RESET STRING HELP

     This field is the modem command that is physically sent to the
     modem when the modem needs to be reset.  This may be necessary 
     if you "hangup" the modem, abort a dial attempt, or exit RIPterm.
     All modem commands begin with an "AT", short for 'ATtention'. 
     At the end of the command should be a ^M (carriage return).  You
     may specify control characters by preceding the character with a
     caret (^).  So, a CTRL-C would be ^C.

     For more information on available Modem Commands, consult your
     modem manual.
Full-Duplex mode ON

     Your modem is now configured in Full-Duplex mode.  This means that
     the Host BBS will echo keystrokes that you type to your computer
     instead of your terminal displaying them immediately to the screen.
     This is typically, the normal mode of operation.  If you do not
     see your keystrokes when you type, then this is the wrong mode of
     operation and you should toggle Full-Duplex OFF.
Full-Duplex mode OFF

     Your modem is now configured in Half-Duplex mode.  This means that
     RIPterm will automatically display each keystroke that you type on
     the screen for you instead of letting the Host BBS echo them to
     your PC over the modem (a round-robin approach).  If you see each
     keystroke that you type twice, then you need to be in Full-Duplex
     ON mode.
DEFAULT CONFIG SAVED

     This message is displayed when your default RIPterm configuration
     has been saved successfully to disk.  When you re-load RIPterm,
     the setup will be loaded from disk and the settings saved therein
     will be used instead of the defaults.
CANNOT SAVE DEFAULT CONFIG

     Something went wrong when RIPterm tried to save its Setup data to
     disk.  A number of problems could cause this, like:

          - Disk Full (no space on hard disk)
          - A Disk error (bad sector)
          - Your PC's configuration is not setup properly (ie, FILES=
            not being set to a high enough value)
Image not correct Icon Format

     A RIPscrip command was encountered which instructed RIPterm to load
     an Icon off of your hard disk.  However, the Icon that was found
     was not a valid Icon File.  Your Icon file is most likely corrupt.
     In order to correct this situation, you should download the latest
     Icon Files from the Host BBS and place them in the ICONS\ directory
     under the RIPTERM directory.
ZOOMING WINDOWS ENABLED

     Windows and Dialog Boxes will now "zoom in" and "zoom out" when
     selected.  This provides a visual feeling of the windows opening
     and closing.  This will slightly slow down performance of RIPterm,
     but the visual look and feel may outweigh the performance issue.
ZOOMING WINDOWS DISABLED

     Zooming Windows and Dialog Boxes are now disabled.  Windows will
     now open and close as quickly as possible, giving you optimal
     performance.
Help - Error reading file

     An error occured when trying to read a file from your disk drive.
     This could occur from several situations, including:

          - A bad diskette (not applicable on hard disks)
          - A corrupt file was read
          - Your disk has a bad sector and needs maintenance
          - You are on a network and a "sharing violation" occured

     In any event, you should consult your MS-DOS manual and determine
     the source of the problem.  Until then, the file may not be
     readable.
Can't view help screen

     There was insufficient memory to load the desired help screen.
Chosen Help Screen does not exist

     An attempt was made to view a Help Screen that did not exist in
     the help file.
Selected Help Item out of range

     A Help Keyword was selected, yet has no corresponding Help Screen
     to display.  This message should not occur under normal 
     circumstances.
Help on Memory and disk space available

     This option will display the amount of RAM memory currently available
     in your 640k DOS configuration.  In addition, the amount of disk
     space on the currently selected hard disk will be displayed in bytes.
Image too large for clipboard

     A RIPscrip command instructed RIPterm to place a portion of graphics
     on your screen onto the Clipboard, however, the size of the region
     was too big for the clipboard to handle.  This should not normally
     occur.  Line Noise MAY cause this problem.
Word Wrap Overflow!

     This message can occur if a text import block was word wrapped, but
     the Word Wrap table overflowed (ie, too much data).  This should
     not occur under normal circumstances.
Exit to DOS?

     This dialog box allows you to exit RIPterm and return to DOS.  If you
     are currently connected to a Host, you will be prompted whether or
     not you wish to hang-up the modem.
Disconnect the modem before exiting?

     This option allows you to disconnect from the Host before exiting,
     thus preventing unwanted long-distance bills if you forget to 
     hang-up.
HELP WITH REDIAL TIMEOUT VALUE

     This option controls how many seconds RIPterm will wait before a
     connection to a Host is established when "dialing the modem".
     RIPterm will wait <X> number of seconds from the time it dials
     the phone line for a connection to be established.  If a connection
     has not been found by this time, RIPterm aborts the dialing attempt
     and tries again.
HELP EDITING THE SCROLLBACK SIZE (IN K)

     This option allows you to specify how much RAM memory RIPterm should
     use for the Scroll-back buffer.  You may choose from 5-64k of memory.
     Depending on how much conventional memory you have on your computer,
     this may limit the amount of memory you can allocate to scroll-back.
     We recommend that you set it to somewhere around 32k unless you know
     that your PC has quite a bit of its 640k memory free for use.  If
     you have numerous Memory Resident Programs (TSR's) loaded, you may
     need to drop the size of your Scroll-back buffer to a smaller value
     for proper operation of RIPterm.

     If RIPterm runs out of memory, it will begin to discard old Scroll-
     back information until it can satisfy the memory request.
SPECIFIED SCROLLBACK SIZE (IN K) IS OUT OF RANGE [5-64]

     You must specify a number of K between 5 and 64 for your Scroll-back
     buffer.  Numbers outside this range are not permitted.
SCROLLBACK HELP

     You are currently in Scroll-back mode.  This allows you to view
     previously displayed text information that has come across the modem.
     You may set the SCROLLBACK SIZE to a buffer size of 5-64k of memory.  
     
     Within Scroll-back, you may choose from the following options:

          SAVE buffer page to a text file
          SAVE entire buffer to a text file
          PRINT the current buffer page, or the entire buffer
          SEARCH for a particular piece of text
          SEARCH again for a previously searched for text string

     At the top of the Scroll-back screen are a number of Icons for the 
     above commands.  In addition, are Icons for scrolling UP/DOWN and
     Paging UP/DOWN or moving to the BEGINNING or END of the buffer.

     NOTE: The scroll-back buffer filters out ANSI color codes and
           RIPscrip graphics for an uncluttered text display.
PRINTER NOT RESPONDING

     After choosing the PRINT option, RIPterm discovered that the
     printer is not responding.  This could occur if the printer is not
     turned on, not plugged in, or if the cable connecting the computer
     and the printer is loose or broken.
PRINTER IS OFF-LINE

     The printer is currently "off-line".  Turn it On-Line and click
     on Re-Try.
PRINTER IS OUT OF PAPER

     The printer has run out of paper.  In order to continue, you need
     to insert more paper into your printer and click on Re-Try.
PRINT THE SCROLLBACK PAGE OR THE ENTIRE BUFFER?

     Do you wish to print the contents of the entire Scroll-back buffer,
     or just the currently displayed page?
TEXT NOT FOUND IN SEARCH

     You chose the Search option, but what you tried to search for was
     not contained in the Scroll-back buffer from the top of screen to
     the bottom of the buffer.
TEXT NOT FOUND IN SEARCH-AGAIN

     There are no more occurences of the Search Text found in the 
     remainder of the Scroll-back buffer.
MACRO EDITOR

     Macros are functions that you can define to perform short-cut
     operations on the BBS Host.  For example, you can instruct RIPterm
     to make the F5 key type your User-ID and hit <ENTER> for you.  This
     would allow you to log-on quickly by simply tapping a single key. 
     RIPterm's Macro system is easy to use, and very powerful!  You can
     save your macro keys to the default Macro file (RIPTERM.KEY), or
     if you need to have multiple macro configurations, you can save
     macros to different files.

     The currently defined macros are displayed in the scrolling window on
     the left side of the Dialog Box.  On the right side, are buttons
     which allow you to edit/add macros, delete existing macros, Clear all
     macros, Load a macro file and Save all macros to a macro file.

     When selecting macros to edit/delete, you may click on an existing
     macro then click on EDIT or DELETE.  If you wish to edit/delete more
     than one macro at the same time, click on each macro while holding
     down the SHIFT key.  If you click on EDIT without any macros being
     hilighted, you go into ADD macro mode.

     You may store multiple macros into Macro .KEY Files for future use.
     You may have as many macro files as you wish limited only by the
     amount of available disk space.
ENTER KEYSTROKE FOR THE MACRO EDITOR

     Type the keystroke that you wish to record a macro for.  For example,
     if you wanted to record a macro for the F5 key, simply press the F5
     key.  You may specify CTRL, ALT or SHIFT keys as well.  RIPterm's
     macro editor allows you to define literally hundreds of simultaneous
     macros using nearly as complex a keystroke as you want.  To exit
     the ADD mode, simply hit the <SPACE> key.
TEXT TO SEND HOST WHEN THIS KEY IS TYPED

     Enter the text that should be sent to the Host (or the modem) if this
     macro is entered.  In other words, enter the text that you want to be
     associated with this macro.  For example, if you wanted to send the
     text "Hello World" to the BBS when you hit F5, simply type in "Hello
     World".  You may enter Control Characters into your macros as well
     by specifying a caret (^) on your keyboard, followed by the letter of
     the Control Key you want to send.  For example, a CTRL-C would be 
     represented as ^C.  A Carriage Return is specified as ^M
ENTER MACRO FILENAME TO SAVE

     Enter the filename that you want to save your defined macros to.  By
     default, the Macro File RIPTERM.KEY is prompted.  If you do not wish
     to store your existing macros as the "Default RIPterm" macros, save
     them to a different file.
ENTER MACRO FILENAME TO LOAD

     Enter the filename of the Macro .KEY file you wish to load.  Macro
     files are contained in the current RIPTERM directory unless other-
     wise specified.  By default, RIPTERM.KEY is prompted, so that you
     can load the default macros quickly and easily.  If you wish to
     load a custom, non-default macro file, simply backspace over the
     existing filename and enter the proper filename you wish to load.
Enter Capture Log Filename

     You are being prompted to enter the Filename that you wish to save
     Log-File data to.  This file can be as large as you want, limited
     only by the amount of available disk space.  Please enter the
     filename to save this information to, or hit <ESC> to abort Log-
     File mode.
Transmit Line Delay

     Sometimes when uploading ASCII files to a Host System, it is
     necessary to pause in between each line so that the system can
     process the data.  If you find that data is becoming lost, or
     garbled by the system when you perform an ASCII upload, you may
     need to increase the Line Delay option for ASCII Uploads.  You
     may specify a time value in 1/10'ths of a second.  Therefore, if
     you specify a value of 11, it would be a 1.1 second pause in
     between lines.
Transmit Character Delay

     Under some circumstances, when performing an ASCII upload to a
     Host System, it is necessary to insert Pauses in between each
     character that is sent to the Host.  This may be necessary in
     situations where the Host must process each character as it is
     sent, rather than every line of text sent.  You may specify a
     time value in 1/10'ths of a second.  Therefore, if you specify
     a value of 11, it would be a 1.1 second pause in between lines.
No Help available on that option

     An attempt was made to load a Help Screen that was not available.
     This should not occur under normal circumstances.
