This "name" should  be H a brief description of what this function does, so that it can  easily & be identified on the selection menu. H For  example, if you were using LIST to view the log-in  questionnaire H answer  file  (NEWREG is the default PCBoard name for this  file)  you 6 might give this function a name such as:  View NEWREG               H The  name you place in this parameter is automatically  "centered"  in G the  selection bar by PCBMM, so there is no need to center this  entry on the installation screen.█6                  Filename And Command Line To Execute6                  ────────────────────────────────────H This  is the DOS filename and command line to execute.  For  instance: 2                      LIST.EXE D:\PCB\MAIN\NEWREG H would  look for the filename LIST.EXE in the current  directory,  then F the DOS path.  The NEWREG file (the command line) will then be shown.+                                 - - -     H It  is recommended to include the location of the executable  filename * in-line whenever possible.  For instance:5                  C:\UTIL\LIST.EXE D:\PCB\MAIN\NEWREGG would look for LIST in C:\UTIL\ and execute it. This results in faster2 response time since the DOS path is not searched.&                                 - - -G If the filename & command line exceed the length allowed in the  PCBMMG installation screen, or if the program to be used requires a switch toH its  directory,  you will need to use a batch file in this  parameter. =           >>>  See PCBMM.DOC for additional information. <<<█;             Long Description Of Function To Appear On Menu;             ──────────────────────────────────────────────H When  using cursor keys to highlight a selection on the menu,  a  long G description  of each function will appear below the menu "grid"  while) that particular function is highlighted.H For  example, if you were using LIST to view the log-in  questionnaire H answer  file  (NEWREG is the default PCBoard name for this  file)  you 5 might give this function a long description such as:8 View the log-in NEWASK questionnaire answer file NEWREG               H The long description you place in this parameter will automatically be G centered  on the screen by PCBMM, so there is no need to  center  this" entry on the installation screen.█5                   Prompt For Additional Command Line5                   ──────────────────────────────────H You  may wish to install a function where the executable program  name G is always the same, but the command lines vary. Each menu selection inH PCBMM can be set to prompt you for additional command line information 9 before executing the command.  Valid settings here are: #                                   H (Y)es : Prompt for a command line after selecting an item.  PCBMM will H         add  a [SPACE] between the end of the filename or command line :         and the cursor in the command line editing field.#                                   ? (N)o  : Do not prompt for additional command line information.H (O)mit: Prompt  for a command line after selecting an item,  but  omit H         the  [SPACE] between the end of the filename or  command  line :         and the cursor in the command line editing field.█3                    Pause Before Returning To PCBMM3                    ───────────────────────────────G When some applications run, they display a screen of information  thenG exit to the DOS prompt with no prompting from the user.  This type  ofG application would normally be unsuitable for use with PCBMM, since theG PCBMM menu screen is immediately re-drawn when an application ends andG returns  to PCBMM (this would erase the application's screen before it$ could be reviewed by the operator).H Answering (Y)es to this parameter will cause a "Press any key"  prompt G to appear at the bottom of the screen after an application terminates,4 before PCBMM clears the screen to re-draw the menu.H This  should only be used if needed as described above.  If it is  not ' needed, answer (N)o to this parameter.█6                 Swap PCBMM From Memory To EMS Or Disk6                 ─────────────────────────────────────G PCBMM has the ability to SWAP itself out of memory to EMS or disk when9 running an application (or when simply shelling to DOS).H Answer  Y  to have PCBMM automatically detect if EMS is  present,  and H swap  itself  to  EMS if available.  If EMS is not  found  or  is  not 0 available, PCBMM will then swap itself to disk.G Answer D to force PCBMM to swap itself to Disk during a shell, even if EMS is available.H Answer N to disable swapping. PCBMM will remain in memory. This should 5 be used if difficulties arise using the above modes.H Never use a swap mode if PCBMM is used in a multi-tasking  environment : other than those listed as supported in the PCBMM manual.█9              Password to use this function (if required)9              ───────────────────────────────────────────H Each  function  may be password protected if desired.  This  could  be H especially useful if PCBMM has been made available to remote Co-Sysops H through  a remote "Doorway" type program, otherwise a  password  would  probably not be needed.H If  a password for this function is desired, simply enter it  in  this H parameter. If a password exists for this function and this function is G selected from the menu, the password will have to be entered each time) this function is selected from the menu.#                                   H If the MMSETUP.EXE (Multi-Menu Setup) program has been installed as  a G menu selection and PCBMM is available to Co-Sysops, the menu selection5 containing MMSETUP.EXE should be password protected.█5                 Set System to 43 Line Mode (EGA/VGA)5                 ────────────────────────────────────G If you have EGA or VGA video, and you know the application defined  inG this menu option automatically detects and uses 43 line mode  screens,G you  may answer Yes to this parameter.  Buerg's excellent LIST programG operates this way, as does Norton's DBVIEW. In 43 line mode the amount: of information displayed on the screen is almost doubled.G You  are not required to set PCBMM to run in 43 line mode to use  thisG parameter.  If PCBMM itself is in regular mode, it will switch  beforeG running this menu option,  then switch back upon displaying the  PCBMM menu again.G If you desire this capability and some nodes you will run PCBMM on areG EGA/VGA and some are not,  you may still toggle this option on.  PCBMMG will only switch the video to 43 line mode when EGA/VGA video hardware< is detected and when this parameter is answered with a "Y".█3                     Your PCBMM Registration Number3                     ──────────────────────────────G This is the registration number received when PCBMM is registered. AllH functions  are  enabled in unregistered copies.  There  is  one  usage H limitation  on  unregistered copies of PCBMM, which permits  only  the A first 18 of the 105 menu selections to be used until registered.H Registration will display your system name in the line near the top of ! the PCBMM menu selection screen.G Registration also removes the  "PCBMM [Unregistered Copy]" message and& brief delay at program termination.  █3                    PCBOARD.DAT For Stand Alone Use3                    ───────────────────────────────H A PCBOARD.DAT (PCBoard's main configuration file) is needed for  PCBMM H to  operate.  These files are usually found in each node's  directory, 7 sometimes referred to as the node's "home directory". H PCBMM  will  first look in the current directory for  PCBOARD.DAT.  If H PCBMM  has been installed as PCBMoni (see PCBMM.DOC) and  called  from H the  PCBoard call-waiting screen or with PCBoard's ALT-M,  PCBOARD.DAT 0 will usually be found in the current directory.  H If PCBOARD.DAT is not found in the current directory, the  environment H variable PCBDAT is checked to see if PCBOARD.DAT files are being  kept F elsewhere.  If so, this PCBDAT environment variable location is used.2                                                  H If a PCBOARD.DAT is not found as outlined above, then the location and B filename entered here is used (to use PCBMM in stand-alone mode).█4                    Idle Keyboard Time-out (Minutes)4                    ────────────────────────────────H Enter  the keyboard time-out (in minutes).  Valid responses are 0 - 9. H Entering a 0 (zero) will disable this feature.  If the time-out occurs H while at the main PCBMM selection menu, PCBMM will exit and return  to & the previous application as follows: H * If PCBMM has been selected from the PCBoard call-waiting  screen (as G PCBMoni), you will return to that screen, where PCBoard will reset the modem and wait for a caller.  H * If PCBMM has been selected with ALT-M (PCBMoni) while you are logged G into  PCBoard locally,  you will be returned to the  point  where  you selected ALT-M in PCBoard.H * If PCBMM has been executed from the DOS prompt, PCBMM will return to ' the DOS prompt if the time-out occurs.█1                      Remember Last Function Used1                      ───────────────────────────H If you answer Yes to this parameter, PCBMM will store the menu  number G of the last item which was highlighted when PCBMM ended. The next timeH PCBMM  is used, this menu selection will be highlighted when the  menu H is first displayed.  This is useful if you are doing maintenance  that H requires you to exit and re-enter PCBMM frequently, as you will not be H required  to move the cursor (and possibly PageDown) to highlight  the ) selection every time you bring up PCBMM.H If  you answer No, PCBMM will always begin with item #1 in  the  upper  left hand corner highlighted.G Note: This feature refers to saving the highlight location upon actualH termination  of PCBMM, not the calling of a PCBMM menu item.   When  a H PCBMM  menu item (function) is used, that item is  always  highlighted  upon returning to PCBMM.█7                 Password To Edit Functions With ALT-F17                 ──────────────────────────────────────H Any  menu  item may be quickly configured, changed, or  deleted  while H using PCBMM by simply highlighting the desired menu item and  pressing H the  ALT-F1  keys simultaneously.  This eliminates the  need  to  exit 9 PCBMM, run the MMSETUP.EXE utility, then re-enter PCBMM.H This edit function may be password protected if desired. This could be H especially useful if PCBMM has been made available to remote Co-Sysops H through   a remote "Doorway" type program, otherwise an edit  password  would probably not be needed.H If  a password for ALT-F1 editing is desired, simply enter it in  this H parameter.  If a password exists and ALT-F1 is  pressed, the  password G will have to be entered.  If the password is correctly  entered, PCBMM0 will not ask for it on subsequent ALT-F1 edits.█3                   Use 43 Lines if EGA/VGA Detected3                   ────────────────────────────────G If you have EGA or VGA video, you may want to use PCBMM in its 43 lineG mode. This mode displays 48 menu choices per screen, instead of the 21G choices available in standard mode.  In this mode, there are 96  totalG menu options available, as opposed to the 105 options available in the standard video mode.G If you desire this capability and some nodes you will run PCBMM on areG EGA/VGA and some are not,  you may still toggle this option on.  PCBMMG will only switch the video to 43 line mode when EGA/VGA video hardware< is detected and when this parameter is answered with a "Y".G The quality of the PCBMM screen display in 43 line mode is  completelyG dependent on the quality of your video hardware.  The "font" displayedG in this mode is generated by your hardware, not PCBMM.  Higher qualityD video hardware will produce better resolution and clearer displays.█4                  Use Mouse if Mouse Driver Detected4                  ──────────────────────────────────G You  may choose PCBMM menu options with a mouse if a mouse  driver  isG installed. This is especially useful if the PCBMM menu is displayed inG 43 line mode, as there could be many options configured for use on oneG screen.  A single click on a menu selection "bar" will both  highlight! and run the defined application.G When  a mouse is used, three extra red boxes will appear on the  PCBMME screen that may be clicked on. These are "PgDn", "Exit", and "PgUp".G Naturally, the application being selected must have mouse capabilitiesG in order to continue using the mouse after clicking on the PCBMM menu.F PCBMM mouse routines require a Microsoft compatible mouse and driver.█
