If you have a monochrome adapt-,T1.0%%%!Fer, an EGA adapter, or any other kind that doesn't get snow on the ,T1.0%%%!Fscreen, use this mode. ,T1.0%%%!FSecondly, you can choose direct screen writes with TELIX checking the ,T1.0%%%!Fports. While this mode is a bit slower, it's best to use it if you ,T1.0%%%!Fare getting snow or flickering on your screen. In some cases, this ,T1.0%%%!Foption can interfere with communications.

This option is the one that works ,S1.0%%%!Fbest with Desqview, Topview, or DoubleDOS. It's also the slowest ,T1.0%%%!Fmethod you can choose. If your problem is that windowed information ,T1.0%%%!C"bleeds" through the active partition when using TELIX with a ,T1.0%%%!Fdouble Dos type program running, this will probably cure it. ,T1.0%% %!FMany blind computer users find TELIX the communications package of ,T1.0%% %!Fchoice because using this option allows them to use many different ,T1.0%% %!Fspeech synthesizers.

When TELIX is called, it first reads the TELIX.CNF file in order ,T1.0%%%!F to get properly configured. While it's doing this the message, ,T1.0%%%!E "Reading configuration file.", appears at the top left corner of,T1.0%%%!F your screen. Two Carriage Returns during this process will cause,T1.0%%%!F TELIX to come up in the terminal mode. ,T1.0%%%!F2. A second, and I think better, answer lies in using a combination ,T1.0%% %!F of a batch file to start TELIX with a very simple script file ,T1.0%% %!F that will cause it to start out in the dialing directory. That's,T1.0%% %!F probably the first place you go anyway. ,T1.0%% %!F First, write a small batch file (I named mine, BBS.BAT) that ,T1.0%%%!F reads: ,T1.0%%%!F ECHO OFF ,T1.0%%%!F CLS ,T1.0%%%!F CD \ ,T1.0%%%!F TELIX SSTART ,T1.0%%,81.0,=1%0*c+¼(h0, 1.0%%%²%%O%%,1.0%p%%!

That's all. Don't forget to use an ASCII ,T1.0%%%!F word processor for all this! ,T1.0%%,81.0,=1*¼0, 1.0, 1.&B
