;===========================================================
; DUMBTERM: EXTERNAL PROTOCOLS
;-----------------------------------------------------------
!TOPIC 580 DumbTerm proto: Key
!NOINDEX

This is where you specify what key to use, as a hot-key in the file-transfer
menu.
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------
!TOPIC 581 DumbTerm proto: Name

file-transfer menu, along with the 580Key.

!TOPIC 582 DumbTerm proto: Prompt DL. name

This option is used to tell Portal, if the protocol needs the user to enter a
file-name, or if it is transfered by the protocol itself.
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------
!TOPIC 583 DumbTerm proto: Auto start
!NOINDEX

Some protocols sends an identification string to the other end, which may be
used to make Portal activate the download protocol at once, without your help.
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------
!TOPIC 584 DumbTerm proto: Send
!NOINDEX

Here you must specify the command to pass to the system, to activate the
protocol in send mode.

To make this easier to install, the following variables have been defined:

  $inbound       Your 160inbound area.

                 names of one or more files to be sent.

!TOPIC 601 DumbTerm misc: CR sends LF

With this option set to 'Y', any received ASCII 13 will result in an automatic
linefeed. Normally this should not be nescessary, but some systems do not
issue a LF after a CR.

!TOPIC 602 DumbTerm misc: Destructive BS
!NOINDEX

With this option set to 'N', a ASCII 8 (Backspace) will simply move the cursor
back one character. When it is set to 'Y', it will also erase the character at
this position on the screen.

!TOPIC 605 DumbTerm misc: External Terminal Errorlevel
!NOINDEX

instead of the internal dumbterm using the ALT-D shortcut. You

set to zero the internal dumbterm is used. Put in an errorlevel
which is not used for other purposes (maximum 248).
