Text Files ……………… Directory where ProBoard's textfiles are
stored (drive included!).
RIP Files ………………. Directory where ProBoard's RIP files are
stored (drive included!).
RIP Icons ………………. Directory where ProBoard's RIP icons are

Private Uploads …………. Directory where personal files are stored.
(for file exchanges between users).
Nodelist Directory ………. Directory where the nodelist is located.
For use by the nodelist compiler. Leave
this field blank if you do not have a
nodelist.
PEX Files ………………. Directory where the PEX files will be
stored.
Editor Command ………….. The external editor's filename and path
(eg. C:\GEDIT\GEDIT.EXE). You can also
specify a PEX file here by using a "@" as
the first character.
You can also use shell options here.
It appears that if you are using GEdit
v2.00 or v2.01 that you will need to write
an RA 1.1x style EXITINFO.BBS file to make
GEdit work with ProBoard 2.16 and higher.
This is done with the Menu Function 7 "*E"
parameter. Refer to Menu Function 7 for
more info.
Example: *SGEDIT\GEDIT.EXE -N*#*E
Example: @MYEDIT (for a PEX file).
If you are not using an external editor,
leave this field blank and ProBoard will
default to it's internal line editor (you
can also use ProBoard's internal fullscreen
editor by enabling the next option).
NOTE: this command will be ignored if
ProBoard's internal fullscreen editor
is enabled with the next option.
Use internal fullscreen ….. Set this to “Yes” to enable the built-in editor fullscreen editor instead of the external
editor defined in "Editor Command". When
the internal fullscreen editor is enabled,
the external editor will be ignored.
External Chat …………… Path to your external chat program. If one
is defined here it will be executed instead
of ProBoard's internal chat routine. You
can specify either a chat door (.EXE) or a
chat PEX (.PEX) file here.
If you want to specify an .EXE file, enter
the full path to the program. (see example
below).
If you want to specify a PEX file, you must
place a "@" character before the command
line. (see example below).
You can also use the "Shell" (Menu Function
7) parameters (like *X etc.) or the text
macros (@<...>@).
To use the built-in chat routine in
ProBoard, leave this line blank.
Examples:

@TheChat (.PEX chat door)
