The valid selections are:F  (1)  Horizontal Split-Screen.  The Sysop will be in the top half  of9       the screen, the caller will be in the bottom half.F  (2)  Vertical Split-Screen.  The Sysop will be in the left hand side@       of the screen, the caller will be in the right hand side.3  (3)  Regular non-split screen.  Self explanatory.█2                   Speed to Wrap Instead of Scroll2                   ───────────────────────────────F  If  the caller is at or below this connect rate, ChatBox  will  wrapF  to the top of each window (box) when the box is filled with text. IfF  the caller is above this speed, ChatBox will scroll the contents  of-  the box up one line when the box is filled.F  Since  scrolling separate parts of the screen may yield  unfavorableF  results to callers with connect speeds of 300 and 1200, a setting ofF  at least 1200 is recommended.  Scrolling each box results in a  much+  easier to read screen than wrapping does.F  Valid entries here are 300, 1200, 2400, & 9600.  ChatBox will always@  wrap text to the top of a window when a caller is at 300 baud.F  A special setting of 0 (zero) is permitted which forces  ChatBox  toD  wrap instead of scroll at ALL speeds, even those higher than 9600.█0                       Name to Display for Sysop0                       ─────────────────────────F  While in Split-Screen chat,  this name is used to identify the Sysop8  in the status line for the Sysop's half of the screen.F  This  is also used in the @OPTEXT@ variable in CBTEXT  record #3  ofF  "Hello, this is _______"  when the Sysop answers a  page  request or  initiates a chat.;  The Sysop's first name is usually used in this parameter.*  DO NOT enter @OPTEXT@ in this parameter.F  If  the multiple Sysop-name "pick-list" (SYSOP.DAT) is enabled  then  this setting is not used.█2                   Length of Paging Time (seconds)2                   ───────────────────────────────F  The length of time that ChatBox will beep, ring, flash, etc., duringF  a caller page may be configured by the Sysop. Valid entries are fromF  15 to 90 seconds.  The default is 30 seconds, which is also the sameF  for PCBoard's built-in page. ChatBox reads record #5 from CBTEXT (or>  the appropriate language file) and displays it while paging:3  Page ends in @OPTEXT@ seconds.  (Ctrl-K) Aborts .F  ChatBox will automatically change @OPTEXT@ to the amount entered  in  this parameter. █/                        Ask 'Reason' For Paging/                        ───────────────────────F  Answer Y (yes) to make ChatBox ask the reason for paging,  but  onlyF  if a page attempt will actually occur (the paging hours, F4 setting,/  and other conditions are correct for paging).F  Answer A (always) to make ChatBox ALWAYS ask the reason for  paging,F  even  if ChatBox knows it will not actually be paging the Sysop  dueF  to hours, F4, etc.  This is helpful by seeing why someone paged  youF  during the off-hours since the reason will be written to the  CALLER5  log even though no page attempt will have occurred.@  Answer N (no) to make ChatBox never ask the reason for paging.█2                   Post a Comment with Chat Reason2                   ───────────────────────────────F  If the caller enters a reason for paging, and the page is  then  notF  answered,  ChatBox may be set to leave a comment to the Sysop  which  will contain the reason.F  The parameter previous to this one, Ask 'Reason' For Paging, must ofF  course be set to Yes. ChatBox must be installed as the operator page6  command with OPAGE.PPE in order to use this feature.F  If  a page is not answered,  ChatBox will leave a comment  to SYSOP,F  from  CHATBOX  (so the caller cannot change it),  in the  MAIN boardF  (conference 0).  The comment will contain the caller's name and  theF  page  reason.  If the caller indicates they want to leave a  CommentF  themselves (if enabled), ChatBox will not post the comment with  the8  reason, since presumably the caller is going to do so.█3                   Always Start with Log (ALT-L) On3                   ────────────────────────────────G  ChatBox contains a toggle that allows the Sysop to log chat sessions F  to log files in the default ChatBox directory.  This toggle  is  theF  ALT-L key combination.  The (L) which appears on the ChatBox  statusF  line indicates logging is active. The Sysop ALT-H help screen duringF  a split-screen chat also displays if logging is currently on or off.F  If the Sysop desires, ChatBox may start with the logging mode on  asF  each chat session begins instead of manually turning it on with  the  ALT-L keypress. F  Please refer to the ChatBox manual for log file name conventions and(  other information regarding chat logs.█1                      Sound To Use for VIP Paging1                      ───────────────────────────F  You  may  select the type of sound ChatBox will make  when a  caller=  listed in CHATBOX.VIP pages outside of normal paging hours.   (1)  The familiar "beep beep".@  (2)  The familiar "beep beep, with a lower pitch tone than #1.0  (3)  European telephone ring. Two short rings.'  (4)  Telephone ring.  Low pitch tone.*  (5)  Telephone ring.  Medium pitch tone.(  (6)  Telephone ring.  High pitch tone.'  (7)  Silent - Flashing box on screen.@  (8)  Shell - Use another program/device for sounds or screens.>  (9)  Use LPT1 Bell   (10) Use LPT2 Bell   (11) Use LPT3 BellB  (12) Generic console beep for older, less than 100% compatibles.C  (13-17) Customized beep sound - configure from CBSetup main menu.F  Press F2 at this parameter to listen to the sound you have selected.█6                    Always Use VIP Tone for VIP Caller6                    ──────────────────────────────────F  By default, when a VIP caller pages outside of regular paging  hoursF  the  special VIP sound is used.  If they page during regular  pagingF  hours, the sound defined for that time period is used as if they are$  any other caller paging the Sysop.F  If  you want ChatBox to always use the VIP sound when a  VIP  CallerF  pages, even if the page is during regular paging hours, answer  thisE  parameter with a Y for YES to always use VIP sound for VIP callers.:  A VIP Caller is a caller placed in the CHATBOX.VIP file.█4                    Secret Key Needed to Answer Page4                    ────────────────────────────────F  A secret key may be used to replace <SPACE> to answer a page. When aF  secret key has been assigned, the top of the Sysop's screen will sayA  "Press *KEY* to answer..."  instead of "Press SPACE to answer".F  For extra enforcement a "high-ASCII" character (127-254) may be usedF  by  using "ALT" key combinations.  For instance, if you  wanted  theF  the  secret key to be the "║" character,  press down the ALT key andF  keep it pressed while entering 1, 8, then 6 on the number pad (186).F  Then in order to answer a page, the same keystrokes will have to  be%  entered while the caller is paging.F  This feature is only intended to dissuade someone from touching  theF  computer (because it is making page sounds) who otherwise would not.█5                    Display Full Caller Name In 'Box'5                    ─────────────────────────────────F  The caller's first name is displayed in the 'box' border in each  ofF  ChatBox's two split-screen formats. In certain unusual circumstancesF  it may be desirable for the entire name of the caller to be used. AnF  example  would be where boards allow handles as the log-in name  (asF  opposed to the alias feature provide by PCBoard). When these handlesF  are  more than two words, like "The Thing" the caller's  first  nameF  will naturally be considered to be "The" by PCBoard and that is whatF  ChatBox will display in the chat 'box' as the name of the caller. IfF  this parameter is answered yes, the FULL name is used in the  window(  border instead of the first name only.F  Enabling  this feature (answering Yes) is rarely needed  and  should  normally be answered No.█4                   Disable `Leave a Comment?' Prompt4                   ─────────────────────────────────F  If the Sysop is unavailable (F4 key or Hours) or does not  answer  aF  page, the caller will be asked if they would like to leave a commentF  (just like PCBoard would).  If the caller responds Yes, ChatBox willF  take the proper actions so that a C <ENTER> are entered at the  main7  PCBoard prompt when ChatBox ends and PCBoard resumes.F  Entering a Y  for yes in this parameter will disable  this  functionF  and simply return the caller to PCBoard whenever a page  attempt  is  unsuccessful.F  NOTE:  After entering "C <ENTER>" at PCBoard's main prompt,  PCBoardF  will confirm the Comment request by displaying the prompt in PCBTEXTF  record #1.  This PCBoard prompt cannot be disabled.  See CHATBOX.DOC"  for a discussion on this matter.█3                   Disable Use of PCBoard F4 Toggle3                   ────────────────────────────────F  ChatBox follows the F4 'paging allowed' toggle in PCBoard.  If F4 isF  OFF, paging will not be permitted.  If F4 is ON, paging is permitted6  if the page attempt is within a time period allowed.F  This means that ChatBox uses the F4 toggle EXACTLY as  PCBoard's (O)F  command does.  By using the F4 toggle, the Sysop can easily turn theF  page function (ChatBox or PCBoard) off on a temporary basis  without>  having to re-configure any setup parameters (such as hours).E  Although not recommended, you may have ChatBox ignore PCBoard's  F44  toggle completely by answering this parameter Yes.█1                      Disable CALLER Log Updating1                      ───────────────────────────F  Chatbox  writes entries to the current node's CALLER log file,  suchF  as the reason for a page attempt, the results of a page attempt, and:  others (see CHATBOX.DOC for a complete list of entries).F  If you do not want ChatBox to write its entries to PCBoard's  CALLER4  log files, answer Y (yes) to disable this feature.=  Disabling CALLER log updates by ChatBox is NOT recommended.█1                      Disable (F3 Printer Logging1                      ───────────────────────────F  ChatBox  will follow the printer toggle (F3) as set in  PCBoard  andF  will print CALLER log entries to the printer just like PCBoard  does+  if PCBoard's printer toggle is turned on.F  If you do not want ChatBox to follow the PCBoard F3 printer  toggle,)  answer Y (yes) to disable this feature.F  If printer logging (F3) is not turned on in PCBoard, this setting is  not used by ChatBox.█2                     Disable (F7) Local Alarm Bell2                     ─────────────────────────────F   ChatBox  will follow the local alarm toggle (F7) as set in  PCBoardF   and will beep locally at caller input errors just like PCBoard does+   if the PCBoard local alarm is turned on.F   If  you do not want ChatBox to follow the PCBoard F7 alarm  toggle,*   answer Y (yes) to disable this feature.F   If  the local alarm (F7) is not turned on in PCBoard, this  setting   is not used by ChatBox.F   NOTE: This setting does NOT turn off the sound when a caller pages.█2                      Disable USERNET.XXX Updating2                      ────────────────────────────F  ChatBox updates the PCBoard USERNET.XXX file to indicate to  callersF  on other nodes (when performing a PCBoard  'WHO' or  'CHAT' request)F  that the caller using ChatBox is either Paging or Chatting with  theF  Sysop. ChatBox does this when: (A) it is used as a DOOR, (B) when itF  has been installed with OPAGE.PPE (as the "O" replacement), and  (C)@  when installed as SYSCHAT.PPE /SHIFT to initiate a Sysop chat.1  Answer (Y) yes to disable USERNET.XXX updating.F  NOTE:  When ChatBox is installed as SYSCHAT.PPE  /F10  to initiate aF  Sysop chat,  this parameter has NO effect since PCBoard is  updating/  USERNET.XXX when F10 is pressed, not ChatBox.█3                    Color to use for ANSI Chat Text3                    ───────────────────────────────F  Chat text (text the Sysop and caller type while chatting) colors mayE  be configured.
