       Command-line parameters
       ------------------------------------------------------------

       RemoteAccess accepts the following command-line parameters:


       * RA.EXE
       ---------

       -NOEMS  : Forces RemoteAccess to ignore any available EMS.
       -L      : Run RemoteAccess in local mode.
       -S      : Set "snoop" mode off; disable local screen.
       -D      : Disable status bar by default.
       -R      : Log user back on-line after a menu type 15 exit.

       -G      : Used with the -R option;  forces  RemoteAccess  to
            {+}  return to  the last  menu the user  was in  at the
                 time of the  previous exit to DOS.  The default is
                 to return to the TOP menu.

       -P      : Log user activity to printer.
       -Nxx    : Line (node) number in a multi-line system (1-250).
       -Cx     : Communications port to use (1-4).
       -Bxxxxx : Log user on-line at baudrate xxxxx.
       -Exxx   : Exit at errorlevel xxx after caller logs off.
       -Txxx   : Time (in minutes) until next system event.

                 NOTE: Some mailers have the capability to generate
                 a "standard format" batch file called DOBBS.BAT to
                 run the BBS program. In shell-to-mailer mode  (see
                 below) RemoteAccess will scan this  batch file (if
                 present) to  determine  the  time  until  the next
                 event.

       -M<f>   : Activate  the "shell to  mailer"   feature.   This
                 causes RemoteAccess, upon loading, to execute your
                 front-end mailer program in a DOS shell.  When the
                 mailer exits,  RemoteAccess detects the errorlevel
                 it  would normally pass to the batch-file.  If the
                 errorlevel  matches one defined in  RACONFIG,  the
                 user  is logged on to the BBS at  the  appropriate
                 baud rate.  If the errorlevel is not recognised as
                 an  incoming  call,  RemoteAccess   exits  to  its
                 batch-file at that errorlevel.  See the BATCH FILE
                 EXAMPLES section for more on this feature.

                 NOTE:  RemoteAccess  does  the swap by  storing  a
                 "swap  file"  in EMS (if available) and  on  disk.
                 Normally  this file would be stored in  the system
                 directory,   but   it   is   possible   to   force
                 RemoteAccess  to  put the file in a  directory  of
                 your  choice  by setting  the  RATEMP  environment
                 variable.  For  example,  if you executed the  DOS
                 command SET RATEMP=E:\TEMP\STORAGE,  then the swap
                 file   would  be  placed  in  the  E:\TEMP\STORAGE
                 directory.

                 In "shell to mailer" mode,  it is possible for two
                 errorlevels to conflict. For example, errorlevel 5
                 is used by RA to indicate that a user entered both
                 net  and  echomail,  and by FrontDoor to  indicate
                 modem initialise failure. If the front-end returns
                 an   errorlevel  that  conflicts  in   this   way,
                 RemoteAccess  will  pass  to the batch  file  that
                 errorlevel  plus 10.  So,  if  FrontDoor  returned
                 errorlevel   5   because  the  modem   would   not
                 initialise,  RemoteAccess would pass errorlevel 15
                 to the batch file.
