To filter a character out, use a new value of zero.                                                                                             ⌡F10⌠ Save the changes.                                                                                                                                 ⌡Esc⌠ Cancel and do not save changes.                                    Alt-D                                                             MAIN MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Dialing Directory commands are divided into 5 groups:                                                                                                      ⌡Entries⌠ Commands affecting directory entries such as Dial, Revise,        Clear or QuickLearn.                                                                                                                                    ⌡Dial⌠ Commands which start the dialing process or exit the Dialing         Directory.                                                                                                                                              ⌡Edit⌠ Commands used to edit notes or script files linked to the current    entry.                                                                                                                                                  ⌡FON⌠ Commands which manipulate the Directory itself such as Load, Print    and Write.                                                                                                                                              ⌡Movement⌠ Implied Commands/Keys used to navigate through the Dialing       Directory.                                                                                                                                              NOTE: All changes to the Dialing Directory are saved to disk                      immediately. When a Revise, Tag with Prefix, Clear, Sort operation          is performed, the old version of the directory is saved under its           current name with the .FBK extension.  The last major change to             the directory can be cancelled with the Ctrl-U Undo command.                                                                                   ────────────────────────────────── ENTRIES ────────────────────────────────                                                                                ⌡^SP/SP - Tag-P/Tag-Untag⌠  Pressing the space bar marks the current        entry -- a tag character will appear to the left of the name field --.      Entries must be tagged before certain commands, as described later.  Any    number of entries may be tagged at the same time.  If Ctrl-Space (^SP)      is used to tag the entry, a "P" tag will be displayed, indicating that      any embedded Dial Prefix modifiers will be ignored when the number is       dialed.                                                                                                                                                 ⌡^C/C - Clear Tagged/Bar⌠  Used to erase directory entries and/or the       notes attached to them.  A sub-menu is displayed when this command is       issued, with online help available.  Using Ctrl-C (^C) clear all tagged     entries, while C only clears the current entry.                                                                                                         ⌡E - Edit Prefixes⌠  Letters A through J may be used in conjunction with    phone numbers to define additional information such as calling service      account numbers or even alternate Modem dialing commands.  The desired      prefix and/or suffix letter is included within the entry's telephone        number: A555-1212.                                                                                                                                      In addition, prefixes may be used as Alternate Dialing Commands, if the     prefix itself is preceded by an end quote character `.  For further         information on alternate dialing commands, see the Revise Prefix Help.                                                                                                                                                              ⌡Q - QuickLearn⌠  A QuickLearn-tagged entry causes Qmodem to create a       customized Logon Script for that entry.  The linked script is played        back automatically thereafter, eliminating the manual-typed logon.                                                                                      ⌡^R/R - Revise Tagged/Bar⌠  Allows editing of Dialing Directory             information.  If Ctrl-R (^R) is pressed, all tagged entries will be         edited,  while pressing R will only revise the current entry.  To save      the revisions to disk, press F10.                                                                                                                       ⌡T - Tag Multiple⌠  Tags entries based on number, number range, or          contents.  Prefix codes may be inserted or changed on the fly.  To tag      entries, type the entry numbers separated by spaces:                                                                                                       12 19 34 77.                                                                                                                                         To tag entries based on their textual content, precede the text with the    letter T:                                                                                                                                                  TChicago T312.                                                                                                                                       To tag an entry and add a prefix on the fly, precede the entry number       with the letter P:                                                                                                                                         P32A   add suffix A to entry 32                                             PC45   add prefix C to entry 45                                             PD78E  add D prefix and E suffix to 78                                                                                                               NOTE: Tag w/prefix updates the directory, and a backup file is created            prior to tagging.                                                                                                                                 ⌡U - Untag All⌠  All tags are immediately removed.                                                                                                   ───────────────────────────────── DIAL ────────────────────────────────────    ⌡ENTER - Start Dial⌠  If entries are tagged, they will be dialed in the     order in which they were tagged. After a successful connection, that        entry's tag will be removed.  If no entries were tagged, the current        entry will be dialed.                                                                                                                                   ⌡M - Manual Dial⌠  Use this command to dial a number which is not in the    directory.  You will be prompted for the number to be dialed.  Manual       dialing is done outside the dial window and you will return to terminal     mode after this command.                                                                                                                                ⌡ESC - Cancel/Exit⌠  Exits the Alt-D window and returns to terminal mode.                                                                            ───────────────────────────────── EDIT ────────────────────────────────────                                                                                ⌡N - Edit Note⌠  Qmodem allows text notes to be attached to each            directory entry.  Notes are stored in standard text files with a            QMODEM.xxx filename where xxx is a number from 1-200. This command          allows creation/edit of the note file for the current directory entry.                                                                                  ⌡V - Edit Linked Script⌠  This command allows editing of the script         linked to the selected entry.                                                                                                                           NOTE: The two edit commands above invoke Qmodem's built-in text editor.           While editing a note or script, the editor's online help is                 available by pressing F1.                                                                                                                      ────────────────────────────────── FON ────────────────────────────────────                                                                                ⌡F - Find Text⌠  Use this command to search the dialing directory and       Attached Notes for a specific text string.  The first matching entry        will become the current entry.                                                                                                                          ⌡A - Repeat Find⌠  Repeats the last Find command.  The search will          resume with the entry immediately following the current entry.                                                                                          NOTE: If the matching text is found in an Attached Note, Qmodem will              display a status window to that effect.  The N command may then be          used to view the contents of the note where the match was found.                                                                                  ⌡L - Load⌠  Load an Alternate Dialing Directory.  If the current            Directory has been modified, but has not been saved, a prompt will be       displayed allowing the current Directory to be saved.                                                                                                   NOTE: The extension of .FON is required to insure compatibility with              future versions of Qmodem.                                                                                                                        ⌡O - Other Info⌠  Directory Information Display toggle.  This command       alternates displayed data to allow complete viewing of entry information.                                                                               ⌡^P/P - Print 132/80⌠  Produces a listing of the Dialing Directory on a     selected device or to a file.  Ctrl-P (^P) will print all directory         fields using 132 columns, while P will print selected fields using an       80-column format.  To print the listing, reply "PRN" or "LPT1" to the       displayed prompt.  To direct the listing to disk, enter a valid DOS         filename.  Entries with blank Name fields will not be listed.                                                                                           ⌡S - Sort⌠  Directory entries may be sorted by Name or Number in            ascending sequence or by Total Calls in descending sequence.  A Total       Call sort causes the most frequently called numbers to appear at the top    of the directory.                                                                                                                                       NOTE: The phone directory is sorted intelligently in case-insensitive             alphabetic order.  Entries starting with an UPPER CASE letter               will be sorted before entries with the same lower-case letter.              Entries which do not start with  a letter will be sorted in                 standard ASCII sequence.                                                                                                                          ⌡^U - Undo⌠  Restores the Dialing Directory backup file which was           created before the last major directory change.  If a backup file does      not exist, an appropriate error message will be displayed.  Only the        LAST major change can be undone.  If you wish to experiment with various    changes, consider making multiple copies of the QMODEM.FON file for         backup purposes.

These overrides will remain in effect until             1) Qmodem is stopped and restarted or 2) A new default is                   specified with the Alt-N function.  For additional information,             see the help screens for the Alt-N/D and Alt-N/F commands.                                                                                      NOTE 2: Batch Download Protocols do NOT require file names.  By                     definition, only a drive:\directory path specification is                   required for batch downloads.                                                                                    MEMORY REQUIREMENTS CHANGED ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem uses available RAM memory for the scrollback buffer, the internal    editor, script variables, and download buffers. Memory is allocated based   on the values specified in the program's configuration accessible with the  Alt-N command.  Memory is dynamically allocated when Qmodem starts;  if     changed, the new configuration cannot be implemented until Qmodem is        restarted.  When the new configuration is saved and Qmodem detects memory   allocation changes, a window is displayed, allowing exit from Qmodem with   the standard Y, N, and X options.                                           lt-Y                                                  FILE DELETION REQUEST ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── After the file name to be deleted has been verified by Qmodem, the          path/filename are displayed, as well as an opportunity to cancel the        request.                                                                                                                                                Replying "N" to the confirmation prompt will cancel the deletion request    and return Qmodem to terminal mode.                                                                                                                     Replying "Y" to the confirmation prompt will proceed with the file deletion.                                                                            If the file was deleted by mistake, it may be recovered with special        programs such as Norton's Utilities, Mace Utilities, etc...                 Alt-O                                                      CHANGE DIRECTORY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-O displays two windows.  The bottom window displays the active          directory path.  The left side window displays a list of subdirectories in  that path to chose from.                                                                                                                                To change path to one of the displayed subdirectories, type its name at the cursor position and <Enter>.                                                                                                                            Standard editing commands can be used on the displayed path name, and the   entire drive:\path may be changed as well.  If the drive letter is changed, this will be reflected in subsequent Alt-L commands.  Any drive:\path       combination valid in the DOS CHDIR (CD) command can be specified.           Alt-P                                         SET COMMUNICATIONS PARAMETERS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Serial parameters include speed, parity, data bits and stop bits.  Default  serial communications parameters are set with the Alt-N Qmodem Configurationcommand.  Default parameters can be overridden in each entry in the Qmodem  dialing directory.                                                                                                                                      While in the COM parameter window, parameters are changed by typing the     letter corresponding to the desired change.  The current combination,       displayed on the window's top line, will reflect the change immediately.                                                                                Pressing ⌡ENTER⌠ will implement the changed parameters immediately.         Pressing ⌡Esc⌠ will restore the previous parameters and return Qmodem to    terminal mode.                                                                                                                                          CAUTION: Communication parameters can be changed while offline or online.   Online changes should only be attempted if the current parameters are known to be incorrect, unreadable characters are displayed on the screen, or the  connection cannot be established properly.                                  Alt-J                              FUNCTION KEY DEFINITION - DISPLAY WINDOW ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The function key display window shows all 48 function key combinations and  their current values.  Depending on shift state, each function key may hold up to four values.  The data contained in each F-key combination may be a   set of standard keystrokes such as name, password, or the special commands  such as @SCRIPT, @EDIT, @DIAL, @SHELL, @SHELLX and @STAMP.  Whenever a      function key is pressed, the associated data is sent as if it had been typedon the keyboard, or the command or function associated with it is executed.                                                                             Qmodem supports multiple F-Key assignment files.  A new file may be loaded  or created by pressing "L" while in the F-Key display window.                                                                                           Pressing a number from 1 to 4 will allow editing of the F-key values, as    follows:                                                                                                1 - Normal F-keys                                                           2 - Shift F-Keys                                                            3 - Ctrl F-Keys                                                             4 - Alt F-Keys                                                                                                              Pressing <Esc> will return Qmodem to terminal mode.                                                                                                        NOTE: To access all 48 F-Key definitions requires an enhanced keyboard            with 12 function keys.  Only 40 definitions are available for               keyboards with 10 function keys.                                   Alt-J                                 FUNCTION KEY DEFINITION - EDIT WINDOW ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Function key edit window is displayed after the desired F-key           combination has been selected from the F-key display window.                                                                                            To edit the value of an F-Key combination, use the Up/Dn arrows to move to  the desired key definition.  Within the definition field, standard editing  functions are available and are displayed at the bottom of the screen.                                                                                  Two special characters can be used in the F-Key text:                                                                                                     ^M    Generates a <Return>, <Enter> or <CR> carriage return.                                                                                            ^~    Generates a half-second delay or pause.                                                                                                            NOTE: The ^M and ^~ combinations are new in Qmodem 4.0; they replace the          left brace { and single tilde ~ characters.                                                                                                    When the desired F-Key entries are complete, F10 will save the new          definitions.  Pressing <Esc> cancels the Edit function and returns to the   F-Key display window.  The reserved words @DIAL, @EDIT, @SCRIPT, @SHELL,    @SHELLX and @STAMP can be used in F-Key definitions as follows:                                                                                               @DIAL x y z    Dial Directory entries x y z                                 @EDIT          Invoke the internal/external editor (see Alt-N/F/V)          @SCRIPT cmd    Execute Script "cmd"                                         @SHELL cmd     Shell to DOS and execute "cmd"                                                 (prompts for key-press before returning to Qmodem)        @SHELLX cmd    Shell to DOS and execute "cmd"                                                 (returns immediately to Qmodem)                           @STAMP         Add time/date stamp to the LOG file                    PgDn      & Ctrl-PgDn                              SELECT DOWNLOAD PROTOCOL ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── When selecting the File Download function with the PgDn or Ctrl-PgDn        command, Qmodem first displays the Protocol Selection Window.  The protocol is the method of transfer of data between the sending and receiving         computers.  The same protocol must be selected in both computers or errors  will result and the transfer will abort.                                                                                                                Qmodem has fixed internal protocols and allows up to 10 external protocols. External protocols require setup and are described in more detail in the    Qmodem manual and their own documentation.  The following Internal          protocols are available:                                                                                                                                   ⌡(A) ASCII⌠  This is the simplest and least reliable protocol.  Data        received is not verified.  This protocol is used for text transfers and     cannot be used for binary file transfers such as .COM. .EXE, and .ARC       files.                                                                                                                                                  ⌡(X) Xmodem Checksum⌠  This is the most popular protocol for binary file    transfers because of its universal support.  This protocol performs         basic error-detection and recovery and has a 97% probability of             error-free transfers.  Xmodem transfers data in 128-byte blocks.                                                                                        ⌡(C) Xmodem CRC⌠  This protocol, similar to Xmodem, uses a better error     detection and recovery technique and is more effective under poor line      conditions, with a 99.7% probability of error-free transfer.                                                                                            ⌡(R) Xmodem Relaxed⌠  This protocol is almost identical to the standard     Xmodem, but error detection timing is delayed to insure proper operation    with online services such as CompuServe.                                                                                                                ⌡(O) Xmodem-1k⌠  This protocol transmits data in 1024-byte blocks.          Under normal conditions, it will transmit 10% faster than Xmodem.                                                                                       ⌡(Y) Ymodem (batch)⌠  This "true" Ymodem protocol allows multiple file      transfers in a single operation.  Most batch protocols contain file         information and do not require that a filename be specified on the          receiving computer.                                                                                                                                     ⌡(F) Xmodem-1k/G⌠  Use of this protocol requires an error-correcting        modem, or direct attachment of the computers with a null-modem cable.       This protocol assumes that Flow Control between the two computers will      be performed with computer-to-modem hardware handshake.                                                                                                 ⌡(G) Ymodem/G (batch)⌠  This is the non-error-correcting version of the     Ymodem Batch protocol.  This protocol carries the same hardware flow        control requirements as the (F) Xmodem-1k/G protocol.                                                                                                   ⌡NOTE TO ZMODEM USERS:⌠ Qmodem 4.0 features "automatic Zmodem download"     if the Alt-N/O/R/A (AutoZmodem Flag) is set to ON.  In AUTOZ mode,          Qmodem will recognize the Zmodem download header record and will            immediately transfer control to your Zmodem download batch file without     any intervention required on your part.                                  PgUp&Ctrl-PgUp                                 ASCII UPLOAD OPTION SELECT   ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── When uploading a file using the ASCII protocol, three options are available:                                                                               ⌡Prompted⌠  Qmodem will wait for a specific character to be received        before it sends the next ASCII record.  This option can be used when        uploading text into a bulletin board's message base, for example.  When     this option is selected, the prompt character must be specified, such as    a colon :.  The SPACE may not be used as a prompt character.                                                                                            ⌡Time Delay⌠  Qmodem will wait for a specified period before sending the    next ASCII record.  The delay must be specified in hundredths of a          second. (100=1 second).                                                                                                                                 ⌡No Delay⌠  The ASCII data will be sent without any delays, as fast as      possible.                                                                                                                                            During the upload, the Qmodem screen will be split.  The lower part of the  screen shows the data sent to the remote computer, and the upper part of    the screen shows the data received.                                                                                                                        NOTE: During ASCII Uploads, Qmodem uses the XON/XOFF protocol to insure           proper flow control.                                               PgUp&Ctrl-PgUp                                     SELECT UPLOAD PROTOCOL   ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── When selecting the File Upload function with the PgUp or Ctrl-PgUp command, Qmodem first displays the Protocol Selection Window.  A protocol is the set of rules which govern the transfer of data between the sending and          receiving computers. The SAME protocols must be selected in both computers, otherwise errors will result, and the file transfer will likely fail.                                                                                   Qmodem has fixed internal protocols and allows up to 10 external protocols. External protocols require setup and are described in more detail in the    Qmodem manual and their own documentation.  The following Internal          protocols are available:                                                                                                                                   ⌡(A) ASCII⌠  This is the simplest and least reliable protocol.  Data        received is not verified.  This protocol is used for text transfers and     cannot be used for binary file transfers such as .COM. .EXE, and .ARC       files.                                                                                                                                                  ⌡(X) Xmodem Checksum⌠  This is the most popular protocol for binary file    transfers because of its universal support.  This protocol performs         basic error-detection and recovery and has a 97% probability of             error-free transfers.  Xmodem transfers data in 128-byte blocks.                                                                                        ⌡(C) Xmodem CRC⌠  This protocol, similar to Xmodem, uses a better error     detection and recovery technique and is more effective under poor line      conditions, with a 99.7% probability of error-free transfer.                                                                                            ⌡(R) Xmodem Relaxed⌠  This protocol is almost identical to the standard     Xmodem, but error detection timing is delayed to insure proper operation    with online services such as CompuServe.                                                                                                                ⌡(O) Xmodem-1k⌠  This protocol transmits data in 1024-byte blocks.          Under normal conditions, it will transmit 10% faster than Xmodem.                                                                                       ⌡(Y) Ymodem (batch)⌠  This "true" Ymodem protocol allows multiple file      transfers in a single operation.  Most batch protocols contain file         information and do not require that a filename be specified on the          receiving computer.                                                                                                                                     ⌡(F) Xmodem-1k/G⌠  Use of this protocol requires an error-correcting        modem, or direct attachment of the computers with a null-modem cable.       This protocol assumes that Flow Control between the two computers will      be performed with computer-to-modem hardware handshake.                                                                                                 ⌡(G) Ymodem/G (batch)⌠  This is the non-error-correcting version of the     Ymodem Batch protocol.  This protocol carries the same hardware flow        control requirements as the (F) Xmodem-1k/G protocol.                    Shift-Tab                                 ADD LINEFEEDS TO CARRIAGE RETURNS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Some bulletin boards or online services do not add linefeed characters to   carriage returns, which causes lines to be overwritten.  Shift-Tab toggles  the addition of a Linefeed (LF) character to each Carriage Return (CR) on   and off to corrects this condition.                                         Alt-Q                                                     SCRIPT QUICKLEARN ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── QuickLearn is Qmodem's automated Script Recorder.  A Script is a program    written in Qmodem Script Language, used to perform repetitive functions     such as log on, file transfers or other utility functions.  While in        QuickLearn mode, Qmodem captures data as it is received from the remote     system, as well as the corresponding local keyboard responses.  The data is then used to build a Script File which, when executed, exactly replicates   the interaction between the two systems as it took place originally.                                                                                    Alt-Q starts QuickLearn mode with a prompt for the name of the Script File  to be created.  Any DOS file name is valid, and Qmodem will automatically   append the required .SCR extension to the script's file name.  Script       recording will then start. When the desired functions have been performed,  pressing Alt-Q a second time will terminate the script recording and save   the script file.                                                                                                                                        The Script thus created can be recalled and executed with the Alt-F         function.                                                                   Alt-W                                                DISPLAY DISK DIRECTORY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Alt-W command causes Qmodem to display the contents of the current      directory one screen at a time, similar to the DOS DIR /P command.          Alt-E                                                  ECHO (DUPLEX) TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Echo, also called duplex mode, controls the display of local keystrokes on  the local terminal.  An incorrect echo setting will cause keystrokes to be  displayed twice like HHEELLLLOO, or not to be displayed at all.  In Full    Duplex mode, the remote computer echoes keystrokes and local echo is not    required.                                                                   Alt-R                                                             DOS SHELL ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Shelling or Dropping to DOS temporarily suspends Qmodem and causes the      standard DOS prompt to be displayed.  Any valid DOS command can then be     invoked such as DIR, COPY, FORMAT, etc.... Sufficient memory must be        available in the system to allow this process since a second copy of        COMMAND.COM must be activated to process the commands. During the Shell     process, Qmodem still operates and captures incoming data in its buffer.    If the Shell is active too long, incoming data may be lost.                                                                                             To return to Qmodem, type EXIT and <Enter>.                                                                                                                NOTE: While in DOS Shell mode, DO NOT INVOKE RESIDENT PROGRAMS (TSR)              such as ProKey, Sidekick, etc...                                   Alt-T                                                           SCREEN DUMP ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Screen Dump function copies the screen contents to a filename specified in the Alt-N/F menu.  Screen text is added to the end of the file and       includes Date and Time stamps.  If the file does not exist, a prompt will   be displayed to create it.  Upon completion of the screen dump, Qmodem will beep and display a completion status window.                                Alt-Y                                                         DELETE A FILE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This function will permanently delete a file.  A valid DOS filename must be entered in response to the file deletion prompt.  If the requested file is  found, a confirmation prompt will be displayed.  This is a powerful and     unforgiving command; caution should be exercised or permanent loss of the   file could result.                                                          Alt-U                                                     SCROLLBACK TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The ScrollBack toggle controls the storage of data in the ScrollBack        buffer, accessible with the Up-Arrow key.  By default, Qmodem starts with   the ScrollBack feature active.                                              Alt-I                                                 INFORMATION ON QMODEM ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-I displays an invoice form which may be used to register Qmodem         officially.  Should you experience any problems with Qmodem, send a letter  to the Forbin Project, Inc. and include this information.  Registration     provides the best support possible, and enables the Forbin Project to       constantly improve Qmodem.                                                  Alt-O                                                      CHANGE DIRECTORY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The default Qmodem path is that which was in effect when the program was    started.  Alt-O will display the current drive:\directory path, as well as  subdirectories directly accessible from the current path.  The current path may be changed to any other path valid in a DOS CHDIR command.              Alt-P                                         SET COMMUNICATIONS PARAMETERS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This command is used to change serial port operating parameters including   SPEED, PARITY, DATA BITS, and STOP BITS.  Parameters may be changed by      pressing the desired letter.                                                                                                                            Pressing [ENTER] alone retains previous setting and exits the Alt-P         function.                                                                   Alt-G                                                    TERMINAL EMULATION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Alt-G command displays a Terminal Emulation window which allows the     selection of a new video terminal protocol.                                                                                                             To change emulation mode, type the letter corresponding to the desired      terminal type.  The screen will be cleared and the new emulation mode will  be displayed on the Status Line at the bottom of the screen.  TTY Emulation is forced while in Split-Screen mode.  Qmodem restores the prevailing       terminal emulation upon exit from split-screen mode.                        Alt-K                                             CHANGE COMMUNICATION PORT ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem can immediately switch between any one of eight communication ports  on computer so equipped.  The standard COM1 and COM2 ports are Qmodem       defaults; port definitions beyond COM2 must be specified with the Alt-N/M/P configuration menu.                                                                                                                                     To select a new serial port, type the desired number (1-8).                                                                                             Ports shown as "undefined" may not be selected.  If the selected port is    defined, but does not exist (ie, COM2), Qmodem will issue an error message, and a valid port will have to be re-selected with the Alt-K command.        Alt-L                                                  CHANGE CURRENT DRIVE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Any valid DOS drive letter (A-Z) can be entered in response to the Alt-L    command.  The current drive is shown in the drive selection window.  To     change drive, type the desired drive letter.                                                                                                            If the requested drive does not exist, a temporary error message will be    displayed and the drive selection window will be re-displayed.                                                                                          If the selected drive is changed, that drive's root directory will become   the new default directory.                                                                                                                                 NOTE: Qmodem will issue an implied Alt-L command if the current drive             designation was changed during an Alt-O command.                   Alt-X                                                           EXIT QMODEM ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────               ***** YOU HAVE REQUESTED EXIT FROM QMODEM *****                                                                                                            Three options are available at this time:                                                                                                 ⌡N⌠  DO NOT EXIT Qmodem.  Select this option if Alt-X was pressed in        error. Qmodem will return to terminal mode.                                                                                                             ⌡Y⌠  Exit Qmodem.  Qmodem will close the Session Capture and Log files,     if opened, and exit to DOS.  Qmodem returns to the default drive and        directory active at the time the program was started.  If a connection      was active, it will be immediately terminated.                                                                                                          ⌡X⌠  Terminate Qmodem without disconnecting the phone line.  This option    can be used to run another program, re-boot the computer, or when not       enough free memory is available to use the Alt-R Shell to DOS command.      After the needed function is performed, Qmodem can be restarted from the    DOS prompt with a QMODEM /R command.                                     Alt-A                                                      TRANSLATE TABLES ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Incoming and outgoing ASCII characters can be changed to other ASCII        characters by editing the appropriate translate table. Unwanted characters  can be eliminated or substituted to meet your specific requirements.                                                                                    Binary file transfers and XON/XOFF flow control are not affected by         translate table settings.                                                   Alt-S                                                     SPLIT SCREEN MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── In Split-Screen mode, the screen is divided into two windows. The bottom    window displays data entered locally, while the top windows displays data   received from the remote system.  Due to its method of operation, Split     Screen Mode does not support terminal emulation and forces Qmodem to        operate in TTY mode.                                                                                                                                    While in Split Screen mode, local keystrokes are accumulated and are not    transmitted until a carriage return is typed. Accumulated keystrokes are    displayed on the top line of the lower window.                                                                                                             NOTE: ^M is used in place of <RETURN>, <CR>, or <ENTER> to produce a              carriage return.                                                                                                                               To return to full-screen operation, press Alt-S a second time. Qmodem       automatically restores the terminal emulation to its previous setting.      Alt-D                                                     DIALING DIRECTORY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Phone numbers and related information are stored in the Qmodem Dialing      Directory.   Multiple Dialing Directories may be used, with up to 200       entries stored in each directory.  QMODEM.FON is the default dialing        directory.  Alternate .FON files can be loaded as needed to provide access  to another 200 numbers. Directory management features include               adding/editing entries, printing the directory, sorting the directory, and  searching entries based on their contents.  In addition, text notes and     scripts attached to specific directory entries can be edited while in the   directory.                                                                  Alt-F                                                 SCRIPT FILE EXECUTION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Scripts are programs written in Qmodem's Script Language.  They are used to automate or facilitate repetitive tasks such as logon, file transfers,      etc... Type the desired Script file name in response to the first prompt,   and any required script parameters in response to the second prompt.  Press <Enter> in response to the second prompt if the script requires no          parameters.  The script will be loaded and will start executing following   the second prompt response.                                                 Alt-G                                                    TERMINAL EMULATION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem will display several popular video display terminal types.  Special  terminal emulation is usually required for communications with              minicomputers or mainframes.                                                                                                                            The type of terminal emulation required is determined by the Host computer. Terminal emulation or TTY should be used.  ANSI is used if the remote       computer supports ANSI Color Graphics.                                                                                                                     NOTE: Qmodem's ANSI emulation is internal and does not require the                DEVICE=ANSI.SYS command in the CONFIG.SYS file.                    Alt-H                                                               HANG UP ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Hangup command causes the modem to go "on hook" and disconnect from the phone line immediately.  The hangup command for the Hayes (Tm) Smartmodem   and compatibles is: ^~^~^~+++^~^~^~ATH^M                                                                                                                Most modems can recognize the dropping of the DTR (Data Terminal Ready)     signal as a way of disconnecting from the phone line.  Modems can be set to hold the DTR signal active ("high") at all times.  In this case, Qmodem     cannot drop DTR to hang up.                                                 Alt-J                                                   FUNCTION KEY MACROS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Repetitive keystrokes can be stored into Function Keys in each of four      shift states, yielding 40 or 48 possible combinations depending on keyboard type. Keystrokes can be recalled instantly by pressing the F-key (or F-key  combination) into which it was stored.                                                                                                                  In addition, Function Keys can be programmed to start a Qmodem Script, the  internal Full Screen Editor (see Alt-N/F/V) or even run external programs.                                                                              The Alt-J command allows the selection of function keys and F-key           combinations and the editing of their contents.                                                                                                            NOTE: F-Keys are only active in terminal mode.  When issuing most Alt-            or Ctrl- commands, only the F1 help key is active.                 Alt-K                                     CHANGE ACTIVE COMMUNICATIONS PORT ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem can operate on any of eight communications ports; most standard      PC/AT machines support two.  The active COM port, usually COM1:, can be     switched with the Alt-K command.                                            Alt-L                                                  CHANGE CURRENT DRIVE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PC/MS-DOS allows up to 26 disk drives (A-Z).  The default drive may be      changed to any valid drive with the Alt-L command.   If the requested drive is not valid, a message to that effect will be displayed and you will be    prompted to select another drive letter.                                                                                                                   NOTE: Qmodem will automatically update the Alt-L command if the drive             designation was changed during the Alt-O command.                  Alt-W                                                DISPLAY DISK DIRECTORY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-W produces a sorted list of the current directory similar to the DOS    DIR /P display.  The default DIR argument is  "*.*", which displays all     files.  This argument may be changed and may include partial file names as  well as the wildcard  characters "*" and "?".                                                                                                           Next, a DIR window will open with subdirectories and filenames listed.      Subdirectory entries are always shown in uppercase and filename entries in  lowercase.  You can use the cursor movement keys to scroll the window.      Selecting a <dir> entry that is highlighted by the scrollbar will move you  into that subdirectory and show any files that match the argument           (commonly called a file mask).  The entry ".." refers to the parent         directory.                                                                                                                                              If you have a large list of files, you can quickly locate an entry by       using "Speed Characters".  Just type the letters of the filename and the    scrollbar will move to the filename that matches the characters entered.    The lower left border of the window will show you the currently matching    Speed Characters.  If you enter more characters than match any entry, the   Speed Characters are erased so you can start over.                                                                                                      Pressing <Esc> removes the DIR window and returns you back to the Mask      window so you can change the mask or include a different drive letter.      Alt-F                                        SCRIPT PARAMETER SPECIFICATION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Following the verification of the script file name, Qmodem will issue a     Script Parameter prompt.  Script parameters are startup values passed to    the script, similar in purpose to DOS command-line parameters and switches.                                                                             Some scripts require parameters while others do not.  The need for          parameters and their format, if required, should be indicated in that       specific script's documentation.                                                                                                                        If no parameters are required, press <Enter> and the script will start      executing.                                                                                                                                              If parameters are required, type them as documented and press <Enter>. The  parameters will be passed to the script, and the script will start          executing.                                                                                                                                                 NOTE: The script may be canceled by pressing <Esc> then the "A" key.              Script cancellation will return Qmodem to terminal mode in the              environment set by the script.                                     Up-Arrow                                                    SCROLLBACK MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── While in scrollback mode, the following keys are active:                                                                                                                Up arrow    - up one line                                                   Down arrow  - down one line                                                 PgUp        - up one page                                                   PgDn        - down one page                                                 Home        - top of scroll                                                 End         - bottom of scroll                                              S           - save to disk                                                  C           - clear scrollback buffer                                       Esc         - exit scrollback mode                                                                                                      Appropriate messages are displayed when the top or bottom of the scrollback buffer are reached.                                                         Alt-D/C                            DIALING DIRECTORY - CLEAR TAGGED ENTRIES ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Clearing entries previously tagged completely erases the entries and leaves their contents blank.  Since note files can be attached to directory        entries, this command has two options:                                                                                                                     ⌡Notes Only⌠  This will delete all notes attached to the tagged entries.                                                                                ⌡Entries and Notes⌠  This will clear the entries as well as the notes       attached to them.  Pressing <Esc> will cancel the Clear request and         return Qmodem to the Dialing Directory display.                                                                                                         CAUTION:  Unlike directory entries, Note files are not backed-up when                 changed.  As a result, Notes are deleted permanently and                    cannot be restored with the Undo command.                      Alt-Z                                              XON/XOFF PROTOCOL TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── XON/XOFF are software-controlled transmit/receive signals which control the flow of text or data.  While active, Ctrl-S will stop the flow of data and  Ctrl-Q will restart it.  XON/XOFF is generally used to control text viewed  on the screen or preventing a data buffer overflow.                         Alt-X                                                           EXIT QMODEM ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Alt-X command is used to terminate Qmodem and exit back to DOS.  Three  exit options (Y,N,X) are available:                                                                                                                                        Y - Exit Qmodem and Hangup                                                  N - Return to Qmodem terminal mode                                          X - Exit Qmodem and DO NOT disconnect the call           Alt-C                                                          CLEAR SCREEN ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-C erases the screen and resets colors to their default values.  Default screen colors are not restored automatically if they were changed during    the execution of a script file.                                             Alt-V                                                           VIEW A FILE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-V is a Gateway to DOS, used to display or edit a file.  The default     program or DOS Command invoked with Alt-V is specified with the Alt-N QmodemConfiguration function.  As is the case with the Alt-R DOS Shell function,  sufficient memory must be available to load the desired program or execute  the DOS command.  The default program name shown in the displayed prompt    may be changed, or any valid DOS command may be typed.  When the program or command is completed, Qmodem displays:                                                                                                                                         * Press any key to continue                          Alt-B                                                BELLS AND BEEPS TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Beeps and Bells are used by Qmodem to signal a given event such as a        successful connection or the end of a file transfer.  The default setting   for this feature is specified in the Alt-N Options/Toggles menu.  The pitch of the connect, download, or upload tones can be changed from the same      menu.  Alt-B toggles this feature on or off.                                Alt-N                                           QMODEM ONLINE CONFIGURATION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Alt-N command invokes Qmodem's online configuration program, used to    set the various parameters and options which control the program's          operation.

Extended ANSI Encoded Music                string are in the following format:                                                                                                                              ESC[M.....music codes......^N                           PgUp                                                   UPLOAD (SEND) A FILE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PgUp initiates a file Upload.  Qmodem will display the upload protocol      window, from which a file transfer protocol must be selected.  Up to ten    external file transfer protocols, if implemented, are displayed at the      bottom of the window.  Select the letter corresponding to the desired       protocol.  The same protocol must be used by the sending and receiving      programs.                                                                                                                                               The remote computer should be ready to receive the file before starting the upload.  The protocol selection window will be replaced by the File         Allocation and Upload Status windows.  Qmodem automatically scans the       screen text from the bottom up looking for the first valid file name        meeting the FILENAME.EXT search criterion.  If found, the name is inserted  into the upload file allocation window.  If the match was incorrect or none was found, the name must be entered or edited manually.  When the filename  is correct, press <Enter> to start the transfer.                                                                                                        The alternate upload command, Ctrl-PgUp, uses the status line rather than a window to display transfer statistics.                                      PgDn                                              DOWNLOAD (RECEIVE) A FILE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── PgDn initiates a file Download.  Qmodem will display the download protocol  window, from which a file transfer protocol must be selected.  Up to ten 10 external file transfer protocols are displayed at the bottom of the window. Select the letter corresponding to the desired protocol.  The same protocol must be used by the sending and receiving computers; make sure that the     remote computer is ready to send a file with the selected protocol before   starting the process on your end.                                                                                                                       The protocol selection window will be replaced by the File Allocation and   Download Status windows.  Qmodem automatically scans the screen text from   the bottom up looking for the first valid file name meeting the             FILENAME.EXT search criterion.  If found, the name is inserted into the     download file allocation window.  If the match was incorrect or none was    found, the name must be entered or edited manually. When the filename is    correct, press <Enter> to start the transfer.                                                                                                           The alternate download command, Ctrl-PgDn, uses the status line rather than a window to display transfer statistics.                                    Up-Arrow                                                    SCROLLBACK MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Pressing the Up-Arrow activates the ScrollBack function, which displays a   record of the Qmodem session.  Using cursor control keys allows up and down scrolling through previously recorded session data.  ScrollBack space is    set with the Alt-N configuration function and is specified as the maximum   number of screen lines to be stored in the scrollback buffer.               Ctrl-End                                                    SEND TRUE BREAK ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── True BREAK is a special modem signal used to notify the other computer that it is to interrupt its current activity.  Certain online services can       recognize the BREAK signal and will respond to it appropriately.   When     Ctrl-End is pressed, Qmodem displays <<BREAK>> on the screen.  The timing   can be set via Alt-N/O/D/B.                                                                                                                                NOTE: BREAK is a function implemented by the modem.                      Ctrl-PgDn                                      QUICK DOWNLOAD (STATUS LINE) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Ctrl-PgDn is an alternative to the PgDn command.  File transfer statistics  are displayed on the status line rather than in a separate window.          Ctrl-Home                                                   CAPTURE TO DISK ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Ctrl-Home function toggles online session recording to a disk file.     The default drive, directory, and file name used for session capture are    specified with the Qmodem Alt-N command. When session capture is started, a prompt will display the default filename, which may be changed at that      time. In addition, Qmodem may be configured to start session recording upon startup.                                                                                                                                                The remainder of this help screen assumes that the session capture feature  is not started automatically.  If the capture file does not exist, Qmodem   will ask for a file name.  Pressing Y after entering the file name will     create the file; pressing N will allow the name to be changed. To close the capture file, press Ctrl-Home again.                                        Alt-1                                              BACKSPACE <-> DEL TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Alt-1 toggle controls the character sent when the backspace or ^H key   is pressed.  Backspace normally generates a ^H (ASCII 8) character when     pressed.  When using a terminal emulation mode (such as VT100), backspace   should generate a DEL character (ASCII 127).  Alt-1 toggles the backspace   character between these two values.  To reverse the state of the BS/DEL     toggle for a single character, press Ctrl-Backspace.                        Alt-2                                                     80x25 SCREEN MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── In systems with EGA or VGA graphics, Alt-2 resets the video display mode to 80 characters by 25 lines.                                                  Alt-4                                  80x43 (EGA)  80x50 (VGA) SCREEN MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── In systems with EGA or VGA graphics, Alt-4 switches the video display mode  to 80 characters by 43 lines (EGA) or 50 lines (VGA).                                                                                                      NOTE: In 43 or 50 line mode, the Dialing Directory display will show an           additional 10 lines for each page.                                 Alt-5                                                      QMODEM HOST MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Alt-5 command activates Qmodem's Host Mode.  Effectively, Host Mode     turns Qmodem into a mini Bulletin Board System, complete with electronic    mail, file transfer, and Sysop Chat capabilities.  The Qmodem Host Mode     provides simple features and is not intended to compete with full-featured  BBS software packages such as PCBoard (Tm).                                                                                                             Host Mode requires setup of additional parameters with the Alt-N function,  including system type, user time allowance, Sysop passwords, host-specific  modem commands, and up/download file directories. External files for logon  text, host menus, and user passwords are also required and can be created   with the Qmodem Full Screen Editor.                                                                                                                     Please refer to the Qmodem documentation for complete details on setting up and using Host Mode.                                                        Alt-8                                                   HI BIT STRIP TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Certain mini/mainframe based communications systems such as CompuServe or   the Source use the high bit of each character as a parity bit, resulting in an unreadable display.  To view the incoming data correctly, this high bit  must be stripped. Qmodem operates in 8 bit mode by default.  An 8 or 7 is   displayed in the toggle area of the status line, based on the current mode.                                                                                NOTE: Stripping the high bit off of incoming data will disable ANSI               color/animation displays.                                          Alt-0                                                       LOG FILE TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem activity can be recorded in a disk file with the LOG feature.  Entry called, time and duration of call, are just a few of the things recorded in the Log file.  Each Log entry is Time- and Date-stamped.  Alt-0 toggles the status of the Log file.  If the Log file is closed, a prompt will be issued to override the default Log file name and start recording.  If Log          recording is active, the recording will stop and the Log file will be       closed.                                                                     Alt-9                                               SESSION HARDCOPY TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-9 toggles the printer echo.  When ON, all screen data is sent to the    system printer.  Prior to using this command, make sure the printer is      connected and ready.  If not, the system will display the "Abort, Retry or  Ignore" error message.  If Alt-9 was pressed by accident, reply "A" to      cancel the DOS print request.  If the printer was not connected or was not  ready, correct the problem and reply "R" to start printing.                 Alt--       (Alt Minus)                                  STATUS LINE TOGGLE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-- toggles the Status Line on and off.  Most useful when used in         combination with the Alt-= (DoorWay) toggle.                                Alt-=                                                          DOORWAY MODE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Alt-= toggles between standard terminal mode and DoorWay mode. In DoorWay   mode, all Alt-[key], F-key, and cursor Qmodem commands, except Alt-=, are   disabled.  The actual key scan codes are sent to the COM port.  This        feature is only useful if the remote computer is equipped with software     that can recognize these keystrokes and act upon them.  DoorWay can, for    example, allow the use of a full-screen editor remotely.                    Ctrl-PgUp                                        QUICK UPLOAD (STATUS LINE) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Ctrl-PgUp is an alternative to the PgUp command.  File transfer statistics  are displayed on the status line rather than in a separate window.          Alt-N/O/R                 CONFIGURATION - OPTIONS - RUNTIME PARAMETERS MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem Runtime parameters are similar to the Qmodem Toggles in that they    control specific aspects of Qmodem operation.   These parameters were       set via command-line options in previous releases of Qmodem.  To change     a parameter's setting, type the corresponding highlighted letter or move    the menu selector to the entry and press <Enter>.                                                                                                          ⌡EMS for Overlays⌠  Activates or deactivates use of Expanded Memory         (EMS) for the storage of the Qmodem Overlay file (QMODEM.OVR).  When ON,    and sufficient EMS memory is available, Qmodem will load the entire         overlay file into Expanded Memory.  If there is not sufficient EMS          memory available or this parameter is OFF, Qmodem will dynamically load     the overlay file from disk.  Use of EMS memory will significantly           improve Qmodem performance by eliminating overlay-related disk activity.    The amount of EMS memory required is slightly higher than the size of       the QMODEM.OVR file.                                                                                                                                    ⌡Zmodem Autostart⌠ When this parameter is ON, Zmodem file downloads are     started automatically whenever a Zmodem transfer header is received.        This parameter is supported only if the Zmodem external protocol has        been installed and assigned the selection letter "Z".  If this parameter    is OFF, Zmodem downloads must be started manually with the PgDn command.    This replaces the former /AUTOZ command-line parameter.                                                                                                 NOTE: If the Zmodem protocol has not been installed, or has not been              assigned the selection letter "Z", this parameter cannot be                 toggled ON.                                                                                                                                       ⌡Int16 Enable⌠  When ON, Qmodem uses an internal keyboard input handler     which supports 101-key enhanced keyboards, including the F11 & F12          function keys.  When OFF, Qmodem uses the standard DOS input handler and    the F11 & F12 function keys are not supported.  This replaces the former    /NOINT16 command line parameter.                                                                                                                        NOTE: If the computer is not equipped with an enhanced keyboard, or the           ROM BIOS does not support such a keyboard, this parameter cannot            be toggled ON.                                                                                                                                    ⌡High Speed Xmit⌠  When ON, Qmodem uses an interrupt-driven data            transmission method for improved performance.  When OFF, a "brute force"    method is used, which is somewhat slower.  Some computer/serial port        combinations may not handle the faster mode and, in which case this         parameter should be OFF. This replaces the former /FAST and /XT command-    line parameters.                                                                                                                                        ⌡16550 UART Enable⌠  When ON, causes Qmodem to enable the 16550 and         16550A serial processor's FIFO buffer.  On 16550x-equipped serial ports,    this parameter should be set to ON since buffering solves a number of       communications problems when running under a network or multitasker.        This replaces the former /F command-line switch.                                                                                                        ⌡Video Restore⌠  When ON, Qmodem will attempt to restore the system's       video in effect at the time Qmodem was started.  When OFF, Qmodem will      not restore the original video mode. This replaces the old /NVR command-    line switch.                                                             Alt-N/P/A/T                    CONFIGURATION - PROTOCOLS - ASCII - TRANSMIT ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ASCII Transmit options allow complete flexibility in uploading the data to  the receiver:                                                                                                                                              ⌡Use OUTPUT Translate Table⌠  ON or OFF.  If ON, outgoing ASCII data        will be translated according to the Output Translate Table (see Alt-A       command for additional information on translate tables).  The default       Qmodem 4.0 translate table causes no character substitution.  If OFF,       the outgoing ASCII data will not be translated.                                                                                                         ⌡Carriage Return (CR) Handling⌠  Three options are available:                  1.  NONE    No special treatment of the CR. (Decimal 13)                    2.  STRIP   All CR's are removed from the file as it is transmitted.        3.  ADD LF  Adds a trailing LineFeed (Decimal 10) after each CR.                                                                                     ⌡LineFeed (LF) Handling⌠  Three options are available:                         1.  NONE    No special treatment of the LF. (Decimal 10)                    2.  STRIP   All LF's are removed from the file as it is transmitted.        3.  ADD CR  Adds a leading Carriage Return (Decimal 13) before each                     Line Feed character.                                                                                                                     ⌡Pacing Speed⌠  The delay inserted between characters as they are sent,     expressed in milliseconds (1/1000th sec.).  Default is 0, no delay. May     be used to slow down transfers if needed by the receiving system.                                                                                       ⌡Pacing Character⌠  The character which, when received, causes the next     line of text is transmitted.  If this is zero, then the transfer will       not pause between lines of text.  See also: End Of Line Character.          Also referred to as "Prompt Character" in earlier releases of Qmodem.       For example, when uploading to a PCBoard Bulletin Board message base,       the prompt character can be specified as a colon ":" (ASCII 58).                                                                                        ⌡Blank Line Expansion⌠  ON or OFF.  If ON, causes blank lines (lines        with a leading CR and/or LF and no other data) should be expanded to        include at least one SPACE as a lead character.                                                                                                         ⌡End Of Line Character (EOL)⌠  The character generated at the end of a      line by your text editor, usually in response to pressing the <Enter>       key to move to the next line.  Most editors use the LineFeed character      (Decimal 10), and it is usually preceded by a Carriage Return (Decimal      13).  Make sure that you specify the correct EOL character for your         text editor.                                                             Alt-N/P/A/R                     CONFIGURATION - PROTOCOLS - ASCII - RECEIVE ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ASCII receive options control the process applied to ASCII data received    by Qmodem:                                                                                                                                                 ⌡Use INPUT Translate Table⌠  ON or OFF.  If ON, Qmodem will translate       all incoming ASCII data to conform to the Incoming Translate Table. (See    the Alt-A command for additional details on the translate table). If        OFF, the data is not translated and is saved to disk exactly as it is       received.                                                                                                                                               ⌡Carriage Return (CR) Handling⌠  Three options are available:                  1.  NONE    No special treatment of the CR. (Decimal 13)                    2.  STRIP   All CR's are removed from the file as it is saved.              3.  ADD LF  Adds a trailing LineFeed (Decimal 10) after each CR.                                                                                     ⌡LineFeed (LF) Handling⌠  Three options are available:                         1.  NONE    No special treatment of the LF. (Decimal 10)                    2.  STRIP   All LF's are removed from the file as it is saved.              3.  ADD CR  Adds a leading Carriage Return (Decimal 13) before each                     LineFeed.                                                 Alt-N/P/A                                 CONFIGURATION - PROTOCOLS - ASCII ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Special parameters may be specified for ASCII (ie, text-only) file          transfers.  ASCII transfers may be used for capturing textual data to a     file or uploading text directly into a message, for example.  Due to the    nature of ASCII transfers and the various options available, parameters can be specified for both Transmit and Receive operations.   Select the desired data transfer type (Transmit or Receive) to access its parameter option     menu.                                                                       Alt-D/E                                 DIALING DIRECTORY - REVISE PREFIXES ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Prefixes or suffixes can precede or follow individual phone numbers.  These may be required to access long distance service, add a PBX access code      after a number, or "dial 9 to access an outside line" etc...  Qmodem allows up to ten prefixes, assigned to the letters A through J.                                                                                                Prefixes are entered / changed within the Prefix Edit window, using         standard editing techniques.  Use the Up/Dn arrows to move to the desired   prefix and press <Enter>.                                                                                                                               The text within a prefix may contain the following special characters:                                                                                           ^M  -  <ENTER>, <RETURN> or <CR> carriage return                                                                                                        ,   -  Each comma will cause Qmodem to pause .5 second before                      sending additional data.                                                                                                                Once the fields have been entered or changed, pressing the F10 key will     update the prefix file permanently.                                                                                                                     Prefixes may also be used as alternate dialing commands, temporarily        overriding the default dial command specified in the Alt-N-M configuration  menu.  This feature can be used, for example, to add a special modem        command prior to dialing, such as activating or deactivating MNP error      correction.  On a USR HST modem, a dial command which disables MNP would be "AT&M0DT", while "AT&M4DT" would re-establish automatic MNP detection and   operation.  To use an alternate dialing command defined as a prefix,        precede the phone number with an end quote character `, followed by the     prefix letter: `A555-1212.                                                                                                                              Pressing <Esc> cancels all changes and returns Qmodem to the standard       directory display.                                                          Alt-D/R                                    DIALING DIRECTORY - REVISE ENTRY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── When revising a Dialing Directory entry, the entry's fields are displayed   in a revision window.  Fields can be entered or updated using standard      editing techniques.  To enter/edit a specific field, move to that field     with the Up/Dn cursor key, or type that field's key letter, which is either the field's initial, or the uppercase letter within the field, and press    <Enter>. Fields allowing multiple, fixed selections are updated with        sub-menus.                                                                                                                                              The following fields are present in each entry:                                                                                                            ⌡Name⌠  This is the entry's name, such as "CompuServe" or "The Forbin       Project".                                                                                                                                               ⌡nUmber⌠  The entry's phone number, which may contain area code, number,    and letters for required prefixes or suffixes, ie: 1-319-5551212 or         A3195551212B, where A and B are prefix/suffix defined with the "E"          command while in the dialing directory.  Preceding a prefix with an end     quote ` allows temporary override of the default dialing command.  For      further information, see the Help for the Alt-D/E Prefix Revise command.                                                                                ⌡Password⌠  An optional password. This field is available to automated      logon scripts with the $PASSWORD variable.                                                                                                              ⌡Script⌠  The name of a script file linked to this entry, to which          control is given when the connection is established.                                                                                                    ⌡Baudrate⌠  The speed at which the communications port must operate when    this entry is dialed.  This should match the highest possible connection    speed between the two modems.                                                                                                                           ⌡Databits⌠  The number of bits required to represent one character or       word of information.  Usually 8 or 7 when communicating with other          personal computers.  If unknown, use 8.                                                                                                                 ⌡pArity⌠  Used to insure the accuracy of received data. May be Odd,         Even, or None.                                                                                                                                          ⌡sTopbits⌠  The number of stop bits between data characters, usually 1      or 0. If unknown, use 1.                                                                                                                                ⌡dupLex⌠  May be Full (F) or Half (H). Also referred to as echo.  If the    remote system echoes characters, it operates in Full Duplex mode. If it     does not, "H" will cause Qmodem to echo the characters locally.             Doubled-up characters indicate an incorrect Duplex setting.                                                                                             ⌡pRotocol⌠  The default file transfer protocol for this directory entry.    Supported internal protocols are documented in the help for the PgUp or     PgDn command.                                                                                                                                           ⌡LastCall⌠  The date this entry was last called (MM/DD/YY)                                                                                              ⌡tiMes on⌠  The total number of successful connections with this entry.                                                                              Once the fields have been entered or changed, pressing the F10 key will     update both the memory and disk copies of the directory, as well as create  a backup copy of the previous directory under the .FBK file extension.                                                                                  Pressing <Esc> cancels all changes and returns Qmodem to the standard       directory display.                                                          Alt-D/S                                  DIALING DIRECTORY - SORT DIRECTORY ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Qmodem Dialing Directory can be sorted by Name, Telephone Number, or by Total Number of Calls.                                                                                                                                  Name and Number sorts are in ascending sequence. Total Calls sorts are in   descending sequence.  Thus, entries called most often move to the top of    the directory.                                                                                                                                          To perform the sort, type the number corresponding to the desired sort:                                                                                                   1 - Ascending by Name                                                       2 - Ascending by Number                                                     3 - Descending by Total Calls                                                                                                                    Or press <Esc> to cancel the sort request                                                                                                    Following the sort, the previous version of the directory will be saved     under the .FBK suffix, and the sorted directory will be saved as the new    current directory file.

Most        PC-to-PC communications use no parity while some commercial services may    use Even parity.  Incorrect parity will produce an unreadable screen        display and prevent reliable communications.                                                                                                            To select None, Even, or Odd parity, type the initial letter or use the     Up/Dn cursor key to move to that value and press <Enter>.                                                                                                  NOTE: By definition, if the Data Bits value is 8, the parity setting              must be NONE.

Pressing <Esc> will cancel the speed change request and will cause Qmodem   to return to the entry revision screen.                                                                                                                 Qmodem will reset the communication port's speed if configured to do so withthe "Redial Sets Baud Rate" toggle in the Alt-N Options / Toggles menu.     With high-speed modems, Redial Sets Baud Rate is usually off and the serial port is locked at the modem's maximum speed.  With normal, non-buffered     modems, Redial Sets Baud Rate should always be ON.

The host mode        will only allow downloads from a single directory.                                                                                                      ⌡Upload Dir.⌠   Host Mode upload drive:\directory.  All files received      will be stored in that directory. This may be the same as the download      directory.                                                                                                                                              ⌡Maximum time⌠  The number of minutes a user is allowed on the system.      After this period expires, the caller will be disconnected. The default     is 30 minutes.                                                                                                                                          ⌡DOS Password⌠  The password required to use the Host Mode's DOS Shell      command.                                                                                                                                                ⌡Shutdown Password⌠  The password required to shut down Qmodem.                                                                                         ⌡Init Command⌠  A modem initialization string to be used specifically       for Host Mode operation. A good default string is ATE1S0=0H0^M.                                                                                         ⌡Answer Command⌠  The modem command required to answer the phone when an    incoming call has been detected.  With Hayes and compatible modems, this    command is "ATA^M".                                                                                                                                     ⌡OK Message⌠  The message returned by the modem following successful        command execution. With Hayes and compatible modems, the field should       contain the word "OK".                                                                                                                                  ⌡Ring Detect⌠  The message returned by the modem when an incoming call      is detected.  For Hayes and compatible modems, this field should contain    the word "RING".                                                                                                                                        ⌡Busy Command⌠  Command sent to the modem to cause it to go "Off-Hook"      when the Sysop logs on locally.  This will cause callers to receive a       BUSY signal when calling the host while the Sysop is logged on.  For        Hayes and compatible modems, this command is "ATM0H1^M".                                                                                                ⌡# Rings & Answer⌠  This value controls how many RINGs to count before      sending the "Answer Command" to the modem.  If you want the Host to         answer on the 6th ring, set this to 6.  The count can range from 1 to       10 rings.                                                                Alt-N/D                                    CONFIGURATION - DIRECTORIES MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The following default paths must be defined to Qmodem:                                                                                                     ⌡Upload⌠  The drive/directory path which will be searched for files         being uploaded to the remote computer.                                                                                                                  ⌡Download⌠  The drive/directory into which downloaded files will be         stored.                                                                                                                                                 ⌡Scripts⌠  The drive/directory path which will be searched for Qmodem       script files.                                                                                                                                           NOTE: These are DEFAULT directories.  These defaults can be overridden            at the time of an upload, download, or when a script is invoked.   Alt-N/M/P                            CONFIGURATION - MODEM - PORT ADDRESSES ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem supports default assignments for two serial ports, COM1: and COM2:.  For PC, AT and compatibles, equipped with IBM-standard adapters, port       address and IRQ assignments need not be changed.                                                                                                        IBM PS/2 units also support the COM3: and COM4: ports with the following    assignments:                                                                                       Port #        Address    IRQ                                                ----------------------------                                                COM3:           3220      3                                                 COM4:           3228      3                                                                                                         NOTE: On non-PS/2 machines, port assignments above COM2 -- above COM4:            on PS/2 machines -- are non-standard.  Refer to the adapter or              internal modem's documentation for specific hardware information.  Alt-N/M/M                            CONFIGURATION - MODEM - MODEM COMMANDS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Special parameters and commands are used to control Qmodem's interaction    with the modem such as dialing, hanging up, and recognizing the modem's     return codes.  Modem parameters are:                                                                                                                       ⌡Initialization Command⌠  Default: ATZ^M, which resets Hayes and            compatible modems to their default operating parameters.  This command      may vary depending on the modem being used; consult the modem owner's       manual.                                                                                                                                                 ⌡Prefix Dial Command⌠  Default: ATDT, used to tone-dial a number on         Hayes and compatible modems.  This also varies depending on modem           brand.  This command will be sent to the modem immediately before the       telephone number to be dialed.  Pulse-dialing requires the ATDP command.                                                                                NOTE: Adding *70 after the ATDT dial command can be used to disable               call-waiting on some tone-dialing phone systems. Adding 1170 after          the ATDP dial command can be used to disable call-waiting on some           pulse-dialing phone systems.                                                                                                                      ⌡Suffix Dial Command⌠  Default: ^M , a carriage return.  This string        immediately follows the number to be dialed.                                                                                                            ⌡Connect Message⌠  Default: CONNECT. The message returned by the modem      when a successful connection has been established.  Most modems will        also return the connect speed, ie CONNECT/2400. DO NOT include a speed      value as part of this message.                                                                                                                          ⌡Error Messages 1-4⌠  These are messages returned by the modem when the     connection could NOT be established, such as BUSY, NO CARRIER, NO           DIALTONE, etc.. These messages are documented in the modem manual.                                                                                      ⌡Abort Dial Command⌠  This string will be sent to the modem when a dial     request is to be cancelled (ie, pressing <Esc> from the dialing             directory screen while dialing is in progress). Most modems accept  ^M.     Using the string "DTR" is the most effective method if the modem            supports "dropping DTR" as a disconnect method. Consult the modem manual    for information on this feature.                                                                                                                        ⌡Hangup Command⌠  For Hayes and compatible modems, the hangup command       is ATH0^M.  Specifying "DTR" is a more effective method if the modem        supports "Dropping DTR" as a disconnect method.                                                                                                         ⌡Redial Cancel Text⌠  The string sent by the modem which causes the         redialer to immediately terminate.  If the phone line is used for both      outgoing and incoming calls, and you wish an incoming call to cancel        dialing in progress, use the word "RING" in this field (for                 Hayes-compatible modems).                                                Alt-N/M/C                            CONFIGURATION - MODEM - COM PARAMETERS ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This menu allows the setting of the following communications parameters:                                                                                   ⌡Default Baud Rate (A)⌠  This is the speed at which Qmodem will open the    default serial communication port.  This value should match the modem's     speed.  Supported speeds are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and         38400bps. The default baud rate is 1200.                                                                                                                ⌡Default Data Bits (B)⌠  Data bit values are usually 8 or 7, with 8         being the most common.  This setting must match that of the software        operating on the remote computer.  Most PC Bulletin Board Systems           operate with 8 data bits, the default value.                                                                                                            ⌡Default Parity (C)⌠  The parity scheme used to insure the reliability      of the data being received. Parity values are None, Odd, or Even. This      value must also match that used by the computer being called.  Most BBS     use No parity, the default value.                                                                                                                       ⌡Default Stop Bits (D)⌠  Stop bits are used to separate characters.         Again, this value must match the remote computer's setting.  Most BBS       use 1 stop bit, the default value.                                                                                                                      ⌡Command Before & After Baud Chg (E&F)⌠  These two strings are sent to      the modem before and after the serial speed is changed.  The default        values are blank.  Non-standard modems may require special commands.                                                                                    ⌡Cycle Delay (G)⌠  The number of seconds Qmodem must wait to redial         following a failed connection, such as a BUSY signal.  The default          value is 45 seconds.                                                                                                                                    ⌡Timeout Delay (H)⌠  The number of seconds Qmodem will wait for a           connection after dialing a number.  When this period has expired, Qmodem    will instruct the modem to hang up.  The default value is 60 seconds.                                                                                   NOTE: most modems have an internal timeout value which may be different           from the one assigned here; check the modem manual.                                                                                               ⌡Modem Command delay (I)⌠  The number of milliseconds delay between         characters in modem commands.  The default is 0.  Some high-speed modems    may require a delay (1-25) value if commands are not recognized and do      not return an OK message.                                                                                                                               ⌡Serial Port (J)⌠  The address (1-8) of the communication port to which     the modem is attached.  The default is 1.  Port addresses higher than 2     must be configured separately in the Modem/Port address menu.                                                                                           NOTE: The default Speed, Parity, Data bit and Stop bit values are not             fixed. Defaults can be overridden in each dialing directory entry           to match the settings of the remote computer.

These values can be changed to meet varying requirements:                                                                                                                                      ⌡Lines of ScrollBack⌠  Memory is allocated as the maximum number of         lines which can be stored in the scrollback buffer.  Each screen            requires approximately 1,900 characters of memory.  For example, to         recall the last 480 lines (twenty 24x80 screens) would require              approximately 38k of memory.                                                                                                                            ⌡Script Variables⌠  While executing a script, memory must be available      for the storage of variables. Requirements vary, based on the needs of      the scripts being executed.  A reasonable starting value is 3 or 4K.  If    scripts are NOT used, no memory need be allocated.                                                                                                      ⌡Editor Memory⌠  The Qmodem internal editor stores the entire file being    edited in memory for performance reasons.  Memory requirements depend on    the size of largest file to be edited.  If only small files will be         edited, a good starting value is 6 to 8K.                                                                                                               ⌡Download Buffer⌠  Downloaded data is stored into the download buffer.      When the buffer is full, it is copied to disk.  Each buffer is 128          bytes, and from 8 to 240 buffers can be allocated. If receiving to a        fast hard disk or to a RAM disk, use the smallest allocation.  A low        allocation when downloading to a diskette will reduce transmission          efficiency.  Large allocation are at the expense of system RAM memory.                                                                                  ⌡Overlay Buffer⌠  Available ONLY in the overlay version of Qmodem.  The     default value is 0K.  Increasing this value will reduce disk activity       during the loading of program overlay files at the expense of memory.       If Qmodem seems too slow, this should be increased in 5-10K increments      until execution speed is satisfactory.  A good starting point is around     20-40K.                                                                                                                                              Since the above memory allocations cannot vary during program execution, a  change cannot be effected without stopping and restarting Qmodem.  After    such a change has been made, a warning message to that effect will be       displayed. Upon exiting the menu, Qmodem will also issue an exit prompt to  remind the user of this condition.  If memory changes were made while       online, Qmodem can be stopped with the Alt-X-X command and restarted with   the QMODEM /R command, which will preserve the connection.                                                                                              Memory available to Qmodem may vary greatly depending on the operating      system's own requirements, and resident programs (TSRs) loaded. If Qmodem   is unable to find sufficient memory, it will re-allocate it using a         best-fit algorithm and will issue a warning message to that effect.         Alt-N/O/T                            CONFIGURATION - OPTIONS - TOGGLES MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem toggles consist of 16 parameters which can be set ON or OFF to       control specific aspects of Qmodem operation.  To change the toggle         setting, type the toggle's highlighted letter or cursor to it and press     <Enter>.                                                                                                                                                   ⌡Xon/Xoff⌠  A software flow control protocol used in the text and ASCII     transmissions. Not usually needed.  This toggle can be changed with the     Alt-Z command.                                                                                                                                          ⌡BIOS Video⌠  When OFF, Qmodem writes directly to screen memory.  When      ON, display speed will be slower. ON must be specified if Qmodem            operates under multi-tasking software such as DESQview, DoubleDOS, or       Windows.                                                                                                                                                ⌡PCjr Mode⌠  Must be ON if Qmodem is run on an IBM PCjr computer.  This     forces Qmodem to access the serial port with slower BIOS routines.                                                                                      ⌡Beeps & Bells⌠  Activates or deactivates Qmodem audible signals for        connect and up/download completion.  This toggle can be changed with the    Alt-B command.                                                                                                                                          ⌡Linefeed after CR⌠   When ON, causes Qmodem to add a linefeed (LF)         after each carriage return (CR) character.  This toggle should be ON        if text lines are overwritten on the screen.  This toggle can be changed    with the Shift-Tab command.                                                                                                                             ⌡ANSI Music⌠  If ON, Qmodem will play ANSI music if found in the            incoming data.  This toggle can be changed with the Alt-M command.                                                                                      ⌡CTS Signal⌠  When ON, implements hardware handshake between modem and      computer.  Required for high-speed and error-correcting modems.                                                                                         NOTE: Qmodem will check for the presence of the CTS signal when started.          If CTS is not detected, an error message will be displayed, giving          you the option to continue operating without CTS handshake, or to           wait for the CTS signal to become active (ie. in case the modem             was turned off or disconnected from the computer).                                                                                                ⌡CTS When Writing⌠  When ON, causes Qmodem to maintain the CTS (Clear       To Send) signal while writing to disk (during a download).  On 80286 or     80386 computers, this option will increase the download transfer rate by    .5% to 6% as data is being accepted from the modem during disk writes.                                                                                  WARNING: Avoid using more than 80 Download Buffers. This option may                  cause data loss on some systems or configurations.  Try this                option carefully to see if it can be used on your system.                                                                                      ⌡Redial Sets Baud Rate⌠  When ON, causes Qmodem to set the serial port      speed to the speed of the modem connection, as returned in the modem's      CONNECT message.  When OFF, maintains the existing serial port speed.                                                                                   ⌡Del=Backspace⌠  Alternates the backspace value between the true            backspace character and the 'Del' character.  This toggle can be changed    with the Alt-1 command.                                                                                                                                 ⌡Auto Start Log⌠  When ON, causes Qmodem to record activity to the log      file immediately upon startup. If OFF, logging can be manually started      with the Alt-0 command.                                                                                                                                 ⌡Snow Checking⌠  Should be ON to prevent snow on older CGA displays.                                                                                    ⌡Growing Windows⌠  If ON, causes windows to grow or explode when            displayed. If OFF, windows pop-up on the screen instantly.                                                                                              ⌡Status Line⌠  Control the usage of the last screen line as a Qmodem        Status Line.  When OFF, the last line is available to display incoming      data.                                                                                                                                                   ⌡FIFO during Shell⌠  If ON, allows 16550 buffered serial chips to           accumulate data during a SHELL operation.                                                                                                               ⌡Keypad Emulation⌠  Determines the characters generated by the keyboard     numeric pad when keyboard numeric lock (NumLock) is ON.  If Keypad          Emulation  is ON, Qmodem generates the proper key or escape codes, based    on the terminal emulation in effect.  If Keypad Emulation is OFF, Qmodem    will generate standard numeric values.                                                                                                                  ⌡Destructive bksp⌠  When this is ON, a received backspace character will    cause Qmodem to erase the character to the left of the cursor as it         moves left.  When OFF, the cursor moves left, but the underlying            characters are not erased.                                                                                                                              ⌡Line Wrap⌠  When set ON, the cursor will advance to the next line if it    writes a character in the last column on the right.  If set OFF, then       the cursor remains in the extreme right column until a carriage return      (^M) is received.                                                                                                                                       ⌡ENQ response⌠  When set ON, the text stored in the Alt-F12 function key    is sent to the modem.  When set OFF, the ENQ (^E) is not acted upon.        Normal ctrl-character conversion is done on the text, so the two            characters "^F" are converted to a Ctrl-F.                                                                                                              NOTE: Special @ macros are NOT executed when invoked via the ENQ                  function for Alt-F12 only.                                         Alt-N/O                                        CONFIGURATION - OPTIONS MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The Options configuration menu controls Qmodem operational settings and     parameters which fall in the following seven categories:                                                                                                   ⌡Toggles⌠  Switches for features such as video mode, audible alarm,         etc... which may ON or OFF. This option has a detailed sub-menu.                                                                                        ⌡Runtime Parms⌠  Parameters which were specified on the command line in     previous releases of Qmodem.  These parameters include Expanded Memory      (EMS) use, keyboard support, automatic ZModem download, communications      port handling, and buffered UART support.                                                                                                               ⌡Memory⌠  Qmodem memory allocation specifications. This option has a        detailed sub-menu.                                                                                                                                      ⌡Sounds⌠  Fine-tuning of event-specific beeps and bells. This option has    a detailed sub-menu.                                                                                                                                    ⌡Delays⌠  Window display and file transfer delay values. This option has    a detailed sub-menu.                                                                                                                                    ⌡Emulation⌠  Default terminal emulation.  When the cursor is located in     this field, pressing <Enter> cycles through the available emulation         modes.  TTY or ANSI modes are the most common, while VT100 emulation        may be required if connected to a Host computer requiring this terminal     type.                                                                                                                                                   ⌡Characters⌠  Character values used as field delimiters or function         indicators in the Qmodem screens. This option has a detailed sub-menu.   Alt-N/F                                          CONFIGURATION - FILES MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem requires access to certain predefined files or programs whose paths  and names are specified in this menu:                                                                                                                      ⌡Online Help⌠  The Qmodem online help file, distributed as part of the      Qmodem program.  The default name for this file is QMODEM.HLP.                 Example: C:\QMODEM\QMODEM.HLP                                                                                                                        ⌡Screen Dump⌠  The file to which Qmodem screen copies will be saved.        Qmodem automatically appends the .DMP suffix to the specified filename.        Example: C:\QMODEM\SCREEN.DMP                                                                                                                        ⌡Capture⌠  The file which will contain the Qmodem Session data if this      feature is used. Qmodem automatically appends the .CAP suffix to the        filename.                                                                      Example: C:\QMODEM\CAPTURE.CAP                                                                                                                       ⌡Log⌠  The file to which Qmodem activity is logged, if this feature is      used. Qmodem automatically appends the .LOG suffix to the filename.            Example: C:\QMODEM\QMODEM.LOG                                                                                                                        ⌡Scrollback⌠  The file to which the scrollback buffer is copied.  Qmodem    does not add an extension to this filename.                                    Example: C:\QMODEM\SCROLL.SAV                                                                                                                        ⌡View⌠  View is in fact a DOS Shell which passes control to an external     program.  The View field defines the command used to invoke that            program, as if typed on the DOS command line:                                                                                                           C:\UTILITY\LIST                                                                                                                                         Two Qmodem-only commands can be used in the View field: @FSE or @EDITOR.    Specifying @FSE calls the Qmodem Internal Editor for file viewing/editing   The @EDITOR command requires the name of an external editor following       it, ie. @EDITOR QEDIT                                                                                                                                   If the View field is left blank, the Qmodem Internal Editor will be         used (such as editing scripts or attached notes from the phone book).                                                                                   The @EDITOR and @FSE commands should ALWAYS be followed by a space.                                                                                     NOTE: Qmodem will append new data to the screen dump, capture, log, and           scrollback files if they exist.  If they do not, a prompt for               their creation will be issued when the corresponding command is             issued. File names may be changed when these recording features             are invoked.

Characters         A,C,F,G,R,X,Y and O are reserved for internal protocols.                                                                                                ⌡Protocol⌠  The written name of the protocol as it will appear in the       upload/download selection window.                                                                                                                       ⌡Upload BAT⌠  The name of the upload batch file for that external           protocol.                                                                                                                                               ⌡Download BAT⌠  The name of the download batch file for that external       protocol.                                                                                                                                               ⌡Filename Prompt⌠  Y or N depending on protocol requirements for            downloads.  Y will cause Qmodem to prompt for a filename to be              received.  N assumes that the filename will be sent as part of the          received data and handled automatically by the protocol.                                                                                                NOTE: Qmodem passes the COM speed, port number, and filename to the               protocol batch file as parameters %1, %2, and %3.  The filename             (%3) may not be required depending on the external protocol                 selected. Refer to the external protocol's own documentation for            additional details.                                                Alt-N/P                                      CONFIGURATION - PROTOCOLS MENU ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Qmodem supports up to 10 external file transfer protocols. Common external  protocols include Zmodem, Sealink, and Kermit. External protocols may be    required to provide file transfer capabilities not available with Qmodem's  built-in protocols.                                                                                                                                     These protocols are implemented with separate programs whose installation   steps are external to Qmodem.  Please refer to the external protocol's      documentation for additional installation and customizing information.                                                                                  When installed properly, these external protocols are available directly    from the Qmodem file transfer protocol selection window.                                                                                                Existing protocol names are displayed in the window.  To create or edit a   protocol definition, select the desired protocol letter and press <Enter>.                                                                              Blank lines are not allowed between items in the external protocol list.
