 The Configure Utility allows you to set up BBS options to your own tastes. These options break down into two categories, user-specific (personal likes) and terminal specific (capabilities of your terminal and/or software).

 Type "C" from main menu to get to Configure.  The following commands are available:

 1. [C]hange password.
 2. [U]ser options. The following questions will be asked if you select this option:
   a. In Email, notify you if a message you sent was read:
   b. Pause after each base in a ranged read.  When you read a range of bases (RA, QA, RS, QS, or R or Q [range] from the main menu), you can choose whether the prompt:

[B]ack, [P]ost, [Q]uit, [I]nfo, [R]e-read, [N]ext >

should appear after you read each base. It is not suggested that you turn this prompt off.
  c. Pause between messages [Y/N].  This is the default mode when you first log on.
 3. [X]pert mode toggles off the constant menu displays.  To display a menu after you turn Expert Mode off, merely type "?" at any prompt.
 4. [T]erminal option.  In this section you are asked:
  a. Terminal Width (40 or 80 columns).
  b. Can you handle Uppercase (yes/no).
  c. Do you need linefeeds (yes/no).
  d. How many nulls do you need [0]-15.
  e. Can you display IBM graphics (yes/no)
  f. Can you display ANSI graphics (yes/no).

NOTE: If you choose a 40-column width, you will not be asked for IBM or ASNI graphics.
