Check Mail At Login ……… Determines whether ProBoard should check

                            for new mail and files upon login. If set
                            to "Ask", ProBoard will ask the user if
                            they want to check for waiting mail and/or
                            personal files.

Allow One-Word Names …….. Determines whether a user's name can be a

                            single word.

Date Format …………….. Determines if ProBoard should display all

                            dates in European format (DD/MM/YY) or
                            American format (MM/DD/YY).

Use File Sharing ………… Set this option to “Yes”, if you want to

                            share the message base with FrontDoor or
                            any other utility that uses the same
                            locking scheme as RemoteAccess/FrontDoor

Swap to Disk ……………. Determines the default shelling mode. If

                            this option is set to ON, ProBoard will be
                            swapped to disk/EMS, leaving only 2000
                            bytes resident!

Fast Mode ………………. When this option is enabled, ProBoard will

                            use about 10Kb more memory (depending on
                            the number of file-areas), but the system
                            will run faster.

Kill Netmail When Sent …… Controls whether netmail will be killed

                            after a message has been exported from the
                            message base.

Confirm Validate ………… If this is set to “Yes”, ProBoard will

                            prompt you to confirm any validation on a
                            user record when applying a validation
                            template.  If set to "No", no confirmation
                            will be required once a validation template
                            is selected to be applied to a user record.

Activity Log Size ……….. ProBoard creates and maintains a file

                            called BINLOG.PB in your ProBoard System
                            Directory.  This file contains information
                            for generation of system graphs etc.  Set
                            the number of days worth of data the file
                            BINLOG.PB should contain.  Entering a 0
                            (zero) means the BINLOG.PB file will grow
                            forever.

Log Local Activity ………. If set to “Yes”, ProBoard will add your

                            local login activity to the BINLOG.PB file.

I/O Buffer Size …………. Specifies the amount (in bytes) that

                            ProBoard will use for it's internal serial
                            communication buffering.  Recommended
                            buffer size is 32 for single line systems.
                            If you are running a multi-node system
                            under a multi-tasker such as DESQview,
                            OS/2, or Windows, you probably will want to
                            increase this value.  To disable I/O
                            buffering completely set this field to the
                            value of 1.

Default language file ……. Name of the language file to be loaded when

                            ProBoard starts.  This language will also
                            be loaded when a user logs in who's
                            language could not be found.

Inactivity Limit ………… Number of seconds a user is allowed to

                            remain idle.  If the user hasn't typed
                            anything when this limit is exceeded, they
                            will be logged off.

Quote String ……………. This string is used to when ProBoard quotes

                            a message for a reply.  A '@' character is
                            replaced by the initials of the user who
                            wrote the message quoted from.

Password Display ………… Enter the character that you want ProBoard

                            to display to users, as they enter their
                            password.  The character you enter here
                            will also be used in place of displaying
                            the password if you have "Hide Password"
                            (below) set to "Yes".  You may use any
                            ASCII character (1-255) as a Password
                            Display character.

Hide Password …………… If this option is set to yes, when you

                            bring up user records in the User Editor,
                            the users password will not be displayed.
                            Instead, the character you entered in
                            "Password Display" (above) will be shown.
                            If this option is set to "No" then you will
                            see each users password when using the User
                            Editor.

Screen Blanking …………. Enter the number of seconds that should

                            elapse before ProBoard's built-in screen
                            saver should blank your screen.

Fuzzy Search Rate ……….. Determines how extensive ProBoard's fuzzy

                            search feature should work.  The fuzzy
                            search will help your users locate other
                            users from your user file when posting
                            messages and a misspelled name is
                            encountered.  It is also used in the User
                            Editor when you perform searches.  The
                            higher the value you enter here, the closer
                            a user record must match the search

                            criteria before it is considered a find by
                            the fuzzy search engine.

RIP Graphics ……………. Determines if ProBoard will display RIP

                            Graphics (both internal and user created)
                            to the user or not.  If set to "Disabled"
                            (use the space bar to toggle the setting)
                            RIP Graphics will not be displayed to the
                            user even if RIP is detected when the user
                            logs in.
