As other programs are written to assist a sysop in his/her networking,
these will be added here.
- C-TERMINAL -
20.0 C-TERMINAL
For added convenience, the C-NET BBS is equipped with a built-in terminal
program. To activate the terminal, you must be at the waiting for a call
screen and press the ESC key, which is located in the upper left hand
corner of the keyboard. The message “Loading C-Term” will be displayed,
and soon the C-Term main menu will appear.
To ‘log’ a different drive other than 8,0 (or the first drive logged at the
waiting for a call screen), enter the number that is displayed immediately
after the red ‘>‘ character. For example, if you have 5 drives, numbered
8,0 to 8,4, to change to 8,1, you would enter the number 2 (it would be the
second drive in the list.
You may change your on-line baud timing (even if not logged onto another C-
NET 128!) using the familiar BT command. It will also work even if you ARE
on another C-NET 128.
You will also be told how many bytes presently occupy the buffer area, by
noting the number next to the letters BU.
20.1 CONTROL IN TERMINAL MODE
While inside C-Term, you have the following commands available to you.
Note that ALL commands in the terminal mode of C-Term require that you hold
the ALT key down as you press each of these keys:
C Turns the Capture buffer on and off. You must exit the term to
determine how much buffer space you have used (C-Term is able to support
approximately 20K of buffer space).
E Toggles the Echo mode. When you are in terminal mode and on a BBS,
everything you type (normally) is echoed back to you. That means that
normally, you cannot see what you are typing if you are not connected to
a BBS, but rather are connected to someone else’s terminal software.
You may enter Chat mode by typing the ALT/E keys, so that you can see
what you are typing to another person. If you are connected to
another BBS, that BBS will automatically return what you type to you
so you would type the ALT/E combination again to turn off the echo.
X Exits terminal mode to the C-Term menu, then you use just the letter
to activate any menu commands.
B Toggles the baud rate from 300-1200-2400 operation.
T Toggles the terminal mode type. There are three modes to C-Term.
They are ASCII/ANSI (color is automatically interpreted), C/G mode
(which is a normal C/G mode, meaning that all color changes/cursor
movements are executed), and lastly there is CG+ mode (which works
similarly to C/G, but it usually does NOT interpret the color
