MAIL DOOR PROMPTS MENU
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

It  is  useful  to capture a session to a file before making  changes  to  the 
prompts,  since a misplaced capital letter, comma or any other character  will 
result  in ACCESS waiting for non-existent text. Furthermore, unless  you  are 
using  a modem with error correction such as MNP, keep the prompt as short  as 
possible  while still maintaining its uniqueness. The shorter the prompt  seg-
ment,  the less chance of noise becoming part of the prompt. Some prompts  are 
very similar to others, so be careful to avoid improper responses.

ACCESS  is  case  sensitive.  Make certain  you  have  maintained  the  proper 
upper/lower case of the prompt.

ACCESS  1.00 defaults to Qmail Door v4.x Prompts. To change to  MarkMail  Door 
Prompts, press <1>. For Qmail Door v2.x, press <2>. For Qmail Door v3.x, press 
<3>. And, for Qmail Door v4.x or RoseMail, press <4>. If you make any  changes 
to  the individual prompts and then press <1>, <2>, <3> or <4>,  your  changes 
will be lost unless they were saved to disk.


A: MAIL DOOR MAIN PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Enter  the main Mail Door command prompt here. Make certain you  enter enough 
text  to differentiate it from the PCBoard main prompt, otherwise  the  script 
will behave in an extremely erratic fashion

ACCESS has different responses to this prompt, depending on the status of  the 
script.


B: MAIL DOOR DO YOU WANT PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

After the Mail Door scans for new messages, whether ALL or PERSONAL, and finds 
new messages, new files or new bulletins, it will ask you whether you wish  to 
download the packet by displaying this prompt.

ACCESS will always return a <Y> to this prompt.


C: MAIL DOOR SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The  Mail Door responds with this prompt after a download has  been  completed 
successfully.

ACCESS will respond to this prompt in one of two ways. If you have selected to 
remain  online  after  your ACCESS session, then at the next  MAIL  DOOR  MAIN 
PROMPT, ACCESS will return a <Q>.

Alternatively,  upon  selecting to log off after your ACCESS  session,  ACCESS 
will return a <G> at the next MAIL DOOR MAIN PROMPT.


D: MAIL NOTHING FOUND PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If  your new messages scan, either ALL or PERSONAL, finds no new messages,  no 
new files or no new bulletins, the Mail Door will display this prompt.

ACCESS  responds to this prompt in exactly the same way as it does to C:  MAIL 
SUCCESSFUL DOWNLOAD PROMPT.


E: MAIL DOWNLOAD STARTING PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

When  the  Mail  Door is ready to initiate a download, it  will  display  this 
prompt.

ACCESS  has a broad range of responses here. If you have renumbering  switched 
on,  ACCESS will begin to renumber the appropriate .QWK files. If  renumbering 
is off, it will delete an existing .QWK file. 

After the .QWK file management is complete, ACCESS will initiate a receive  in 
the  protocol you selected. It is possible, however, that a  conflict  between 
the time the renumbering routine takes and the commencement of the file  down-
load  could  cause the download to time out. In that case, reduce  the  number 
of .QWK files to renumber.

Another problem which could appear results from selecting a prompt that  comes 
too  early  before the Mail Door begins its download. In this case,  the  long 
wait could cause Telix to time out its receive.

The best solution is to use Zmodem protocol. ACCESS/ONLINE 1.00 will turn Auto 
Zmodem Downloads on and make certain that your .QWK file is downloaded to your 
Mail  Directory.  Of course, ACCESS will restore all your  Telix  defaults  to 
their original status before it finishes.


F: MAIL DOOR UPLOAD READY PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This  is the prompt the Mail Door sends when it is ready to receive an  upload 
of your .REP file.

ACCESS will respond to this prompt by initiating an upload of your .REP file.


G: MAIL UPLOAD SUCCESSFUL PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The  Mail  Door  will issue this prompt upon the completion  of  a  successful 
upload of your .REP file.

If  you have .REP file renumbering switched on, ACCESS will proceed  with  the 
renumbering routine. Otherwise, ACCESS will delete the uploaded .REP file.

ACCESS  will respond with the next appropriate command at the  following  MAIL 
DOOR MAIN PROMPT. This will depend on the status of ACCESS, either Interactive 
or  AutoPilot, and the program you have given it to follow in Prompted  Option 
Mode.


H: MAIL UPLOAD NOT SUCCESSFUL PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Should your upload not be successful, the Mail Door will send this message.

ACCESS will always log off with <G> when it receives this prompt.


I: MAIL DOWNLOAD NOT SUCCESSFUL PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Should your download not be successful, the Mail Door will send this message.

ACCESS will always log off with <G> when it receives this prompt.


J: MAIL AUTOSTART SEQUENCE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If you have enabled an Autostart sequence, ACCESS will respond to this  prompt 
by sending two <ESC> characters to abort it.

For Rosemail, change the prompt to "<JUMP START>".

Qmail Door v2.x and MarkMail do not support this prompt.


K: MAIL REPEAT PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

If  you  have enabled Repeat Downloads, the Mail Door will issue  this  prompt 
when  it is ready to send the next packet. ACCESS will initiate  the  download 
function when it receives this prompt.

Since the Mail Door renumbers the packets using the format <SYSTEM_ID.QW<num>, 
ACCESS will not renumber these packets.


L: MAIL DOOR VERSION (2, 3 OR 4)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Enter  the Mail Door Version for the System you are calling. Enter  only  "2", 
"3" or "4". You will not normally need to enter a value in this field,  unless 
you are upgrading from previous versions of ACCESS, because ACCESS/ONLINE 1.00 
will  automatically place the correct value in this field when you select  the 
Door Prompts with <1>, <2> or <3>. MarkMail uses Door Version 2.


M: MAIL DOWNLOAD COMMAND
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This command is new to Qmail V4.x. To receive all the messages in the selected 
Conference, leave this field blank. To receive messages in a specific  Confer-
ence  or series of Conferences, enter the Conference numbers. To receive  mes-
sages  addressed only to you and to ALL, enter <YA>. See the Qmail Door  docu-
mentation for more information regarding this feature.


N: MAIL DOOR POINTER RESET OPTION
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This  command is new to Qmail V4.x. Enter only "1" or "2". See the Qmail  Door 
documentation for further information regarding this feature.


O: MAIL DOOR NETWORK SELECTED (NET)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This  command  is  new to Qmail V4.x. Enter the number  corresponding  to  the 
Network  to which you wish to limit your mail scan. To receive  all  Networks, 
use the default of <ALL>.
