È l < Ì ê ¡% Ž) , €2 5 [6 p Screen colors: If you have a color display, you can change the screen colors to suit your preferences. If you are using a monochrome display, you may want to use the default color values because the monochrome monitor uses these values to determine display attributes such as highlighting, underlining, and reverse video. To change the colors, select the "Screen Colors" option from the Setup Menu and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. This will display asecond menu from which you can select an item on the screen whose color you want to change. These items are as follows:È 5 Normal color: This is the default attribute of almost every item that is displayed. Hi-lited color: This is usually an attribute with the same background color as the normal attribute but with a higher intensity fore- ground color. It is useful for making some- thing stand out on the screen. Screen border color: This is the color of the outside border of the screen. It is only displayed on the CGA, EGA, and VGA. If you are using a monochrome adapter and attempt to change this color, the command will be ignored.p ‰ Selector bar color: This is the color of the moveable bar used to select items from a menu. Input field color: This is the color of a portion of the normal screen where the user can enter data. It can be the same color as the window input field, or it can be another color. Window normal color: This is the default color of items that are displayed in a window. It is usually a different color than the normal color so that the window will stand out.5  Window hi-lited color: This is usually a higher intensity version of the normal window color. In addition to highlighting items displayed in a window, it is also used to determine the color of the window frame. Window field color: This is the color of a portion of a window where the user can enter data. It can be the same color as the normal input field color, or it can be different. Window title color: This is the color of a window's title. It can be the same color as the window hi-lited color so that it will merge into the window frame, or it can be different.‰ When you select a screen item to change, two windows will be displayed on the screen. The first window will display a palette of colors fromwhich you can select the new color. The second window shows what the items on the screen will look like when their color is changed. Use the four arrow keys to move the color selector around in the palette window. As you do this, the color of the item in the second window will change. When the selector is positioned over the desired color, press Enter to change it. If you press Escinstead, the original color will be retained. When you are finished updating the colors, press the Esc key to return to the Setup Menu. a Video access: This item lets you determine whichof three methods will be used to display and retrieve screen data. These methods are: Direct screen access: With this method, the software transfers the data directly to the screen memory. Since the computer can do a memory to memory transfer very quickly, this results in screens that seem to be updated instantaneously. Direct screen access with snow compensation: This method is used when direct access is desired but it creates an annoying "snow" effect on the screen. This results when the video hardwarel T is refreshing the screen at the same instant as the software is accessing the video memory. In order to get rid of the interference, the software can be configured to access the screen memory only when video refresh is inactive. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) access: This method is used when a multitasking environment is being used. If a background program that uses direct screen access is running, it will overwrite data that is being displayed by the foreground program. When the background program uses the BIOS to access the screen, the multitasking program can intercept the data and determine if it should be displayed or not.a Because of the extra processing required, this method will result in slower displays. To change the access method, move the selector baron the Setup Menu to "Video Access" and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. This willdisplay another menu where you can select the desired type of screen access. Press Enter to update the configuration, or press Esc to retain the old screen access method. User directory path: This option is used to enter the path and name of the user directory file. If you enter a filename without a path preceding it, the program will look for the file in the current directory. To enter a new user directory path, move the selector on the Setup Menu to "User Directory Path" and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. A second screen will appear where you canenter the new path. When you are finished, press Enter to update the configuration, or press Esc tokeep the old path and return to the Setup menu. Á User file path: This option lets you set up a default specification for finding files that are to be added to the user directory. The default path will be displayed when you choose the option to add files. You can either press Enter to use that path, or you can change it to something else. The user path should be entered just like you would enter a path for a DIR command. For example, if you want to add all files on drive A: with an extension of .ARC to the user directory, then the user path would be "A:\*.ARC" (leave out the quotes). To enter a new user file path, move the selectorÌ on the Setup Menu to "User File Path" and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. A second screen will appear where you can enter the new path. When you are finished, press Enter to update the configuration, or press Esc to keep theold path and return to the Setup Menu. ½ User file layout: If you want to use a directoryfile that was created by another program, you can configure the Scorekeeper to recognize the new layout. To change the layout, move the selector on the Setup Menu to the "User File Layout" option and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. A screen will be displayed that shows the current layout of the user directory file. Use the four arrow keys to move the selector to the item you want to change and press Enter to update it. After you enter the new value, press Enter to update the configuration, or press Esc to retain the old value.ê °" The items that can be changed are: File name: The beginning and ending location of the file name. File size: The beginning and ending location of the file size. Disk ID: The beginning and ending location of the disk ID. This ID is used to quickly locate a file when you want to retrieve it for uploading or for another reason. Description: The beginning and ending location of the file description. This can either be a½ ×$ fixed length field or a variable length field. If it is fixed, enter the correct ending position. If it is a variable length field, enter 0 for the ending position. This will cause the Scorekeeper to consider the ending position to be the position before the record separator character. File marker: This position is where a flag character is stored to prevent a file from being selected as a prospective upload.°" Record separator character: This character is used to mark the end of a record. The usual character is a LineFeed (hex 0A). This value must be entered in hexadecimal notation. <( BBS file path: The Scorekeeper can process BBS directory files that are in a different disk directory, or even on a different disk drive. This option lets you enter the path where these BBS files are located. When you enter the path specification, you should begin it with the drive specifier, unless the BBS files are on the same disk as the Scorekeeper. The path specification should always end with a backslash (\). For example, if you want to store the BBS directory files on drive A, the specification would be "A:\" (leave off the quotes).¡% To enter a new BBS file path, move the selector onthe Setup Menu to "BBS File Path" and press Enter,or press the highlighted letter. A second screen will appear where you can enter the new path. When you are finished, press Enter to update the configuration, or press Esc to keep the old path and return to the Setup Menu. Printer port: The Scorekeeper supports the use of any one of the three printer ports. This option lets you specify which one is to be used. To select a printer port, move the selector on theMain Menu to "Printer Port" and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. A second screen will appear where you can use the up and down arrow keys to select which port is to be used. Pressing Enter will set the configuration to the selected port, as will pressing the number of thatport. Pressing Esc will keep the old port number and return to the Setup Menu. / Printer codes: Since the data printed on the upload listing is too wide for a normal 80-column sheet of paper, the report is compressed so that it will fit. This option lets you enter the codesthat start and stop compressed mode on your printer. To change the codes, select the "Printer Codes" option from the Setup Menu and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. A second screen will appear where you can specify whether you wantto enter the start code or the stop code. Use theup and down arrow keys to move the selector to thedesired option and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. This will bring up a third , ö1 screen where you can enter the actual codes. Be sure to enter the codes in hexadecimal notation, and do not insert any spaces between codes. For example, the following line enables compressed printing (16.66 CPI) on the H/P LaserJet (tm): 1B2831362E363648 For most printers, the following codes will work: Enable compressed print (15 CPI): 0F Disable compressed print (10 CPI): 12 After you have entered the codes, pressing Enter will update the configuration. If you press Esc, / the old codes will not be changed and the previousmenu will be displayed. Pressing Esc again will return you to the Setup Menu. Lines Per Page: You can specify the maximum number of lines that can be printed on a page. The default number is 60, which is the usual number of printable lines on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. To change this parameter, move the selector bar onthe Setup Menu to "Lines per page" and press Enter, or press the highlighted letter. A second screen will appear where you can enter the new number of lines. When you are finished, press Enter to update the configuration, or press Esc tokeep the old number and return to the Setup Menu. Save configuration: This option will copy the new configuration from memory into a disk file which will be read each time the Scorekeeper is run. If you chose the "Setup" option from the Scorekeeper's main menu, be sure to save the updated configuration so that it will take effect when you quit Setup. Exit setup program: This option will end the setup program. If you chose the "Setup" option from the Scorekeeper's main menu, you will be returned to that menu and the new configuration will be loaded, otherwise the DOS prompt will appear.
