PCBOARD PROMPTS MENU 1

** CAUTION **

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 
segment,  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.

The  numbers beside each PCBoard Prompt correspond to PCBoard number for  that 
prompt.  If you are not familiar with PCBoard, it may be interesting  to  note 
that all Prompts which PCBoard issues can be edited by the Sysop. The  result-
ing prompts can be placed in a text file by the Sysop. This file, should it be 
made available to you, contains the Prompt Number followed by the text. It  is 
this number to which you should refer when attempting to determine the changes 
made by the Sysop. Prompts which have <...> beside them are either  hard-coded 
into PCBoard or are common amongst more than one prompt and must not be  modi-
fied.


A: GRAPHICS PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

PCBoard's Prompt asking you whether you want graphics, colour, etc. 

ACCESS will return the value you entered in Page 1 - I: PCBOARD GRAPHICS.


B: NAME PROMPT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PCBoard's Prompt asking for your FIRST name. Since PCBoard allows you to enter 
your  whole  name here or at the LAST name prompt, make the  entry  ambiguous. 
This  will  let ACCESS respond to the LAST name prompt as  well,  should  line 
noise cause an improper response. 

Both  FIRST and LAST end with the letters ST, therefore the default prompt  is 
"st name?".

ACCESS will return the value you entered in Page 1 - A: YOUR NAME FOR PCBOARD
