Command:        EP
Purpose:        Edit your system preferences
Available at:   All command prompts (>)

The EP command will allow you to customize somewhat your use of a CNet system. Following are descriptions of the available options:

Help level              You should choose a setting based on your experience
                        with CNet.  When st to NOVICE, special command "help"
                        lines are printed before major system prompts. You
                        should avoid using "super user" as it causes CNet to
                        SKIP many text files you may yet be unfamiliar with.
Private info            Set to Yes, CNet will not allow other users to see
                        your real name, phone number, address or birthdate.
                        If this does not bother you, you can set this option
                        to No.
More? more              This allows you to instruct CNet to stop after every
                        "screen full" of text.  A prompt of "More?" will
                        appear.  At this prompt, you can select No to
                        attempt to abort the text.  If you press =, CNet
                        will stop printing More? until the text has
                        finished.
Pause bet responses     When reading items in the Message base, some users
                        prefer that CNet automatically pause before each new
                        response is displayed.  This will cause a prompt of
                        More responses; continue [Yes]? To appear before
                        each response, instead of automatically reading the
                        next one.
Xfer protocol           This is your default File Transfer Protocol. When you
                        download, you will be given an option to change at
                        that time.
Time Zone               CNet has the ability to automatically offset ALL
                        dates and times relative to your time zone difference.
                        When you logon, CNet will report the time as your
                        current LOCAL time.  All dates printed ANYWHERE while
                        you are online will be relative to your local time.
Time Format             Currently, you may select between AM/PM time
                        (for example 4:00pm), or 24 hour (military style)
                        time (for example 16:00).
Mail forward            You have the option having your mail automatically
                        "forwarded" to any other user.  When someone
                        attempts to send you mail, it will instead go to
                        this other account.  The sender will be notified
                        that this is happening.
Text translation        When available, the system may support more than
                        one text translation.  This may consist of
                        different "looks" for the system, different sets
                        of commands, or a different language entirely.
Edit MACROS             A MACRO is some line of text that is printed as
                        a result of one keystroke.  It is a sort of
                        "shortcut."  You can assign macros to three
                        control keys, and one special macro, a LOGON
                        MACRO.  The LOGON MACRO should consist of commands
                        that you would like CNet to execute as soon as you
                        logon.  Use of command stacking is very helpful
                        here!  For example, B;RA will automatically enter
                        the BASE and Read Grobal New messages.  To
                        represent a carriage return in other macros, use a
                        ` character (on the amiga, just below ESC).
