 WHAT THE DIRECTORY SHOWS

 Most of the screen is taken up by a window showing 15 (or
 more, depending on the screen mode) of the possible 1000 en-
 tries in the dialing directory. On the bottom of the screen is
 a menu of options, here shown on two lines so that it will
 fit:

   Dial  List  Toggle  Find  Manual  Redial  Add  Edit  Clear
                      Unmark  Other  eXit

 This menu works in a similar manner to the other menus found
 in Telix, as described in the section 'Using Telix Menus'. In
 addition, since dialing is such a common function, if any nu-
 meric key is pressed, it is assumed that the 'List' function
 is wanted and this number is carried over as the first digit
 entered for that function. At the same time you may view the
 dialing directory. To scroll through the directory one entry
 at a time, use the Up and Down arrow keys. Use PgUp to go back
 one page, and PgDn to go forward one page. Press Home to go to
 the beginning of the directory, and End to go to the end of
 the directory. It should be emphasized that whenever the line
 'Scroll with Up, Down, Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn' is dis-
 played, you may scroll through the directory.

 For each entry, many items are stored. All the fields can not
 be displayed at the same time; you may toggle which fields are
 shown on the screen by selecting the 'Toggle' command. Each
 entry contains information under the following headers:

 Name: This is the name of the remote service (i.e., Com-
 puserve, Genie, Telix Software Support BBS, etc.).

 Number: This is the phone number which Telix should dial to
 reach the remote service.

 Line Format: These are the communication parameters (such as
 baud rate, parity, etc.) needed to talk to this service.

 Script: A script file may be linked to each entry in the dial-
 ing directory. When Telix connects to this service, that
 script file is then run, and may for example automatically
 log-on, entering your name and password as needed, for greater
 convenience and speed.

 LastCall: This is the date of the last successful call you
 made to this remote service.

 Total: This is the total number of successful calls you've
 made to this number.

 Terminal: This is the terminal Telix should start emulating
 when a connection has been reached to this number.

 P: This is the first letter of the protocol which should be
 set as the default if a connection is reached to this number.

 E: This controls whether local echo should be on or off when a
 connection is reached with this number.

 L: This controls whether the Add Line Feeds setting should be
 on or off when a connection is reached with this number.

 H: This controls whether Telix will strip the high (most sig-
 nificant) bit of incoming characters in terminal mode.

 BD: This controls whether a received backspace sequence is de-
 structive (that is, if the character backspaced over should
 also be erased).

 BK: This controls what value the Backspace key sends, either
 Backspace, or Del.

 DP: This (advanced) setting is used to tell Telix what Dialing
 Prefix to use when dialing this entry. One use for it is to
 turn on or off MNP (error correcting) support in modems, to
 avoid delays when the number called does not support it any-
 way.

 Password: This filed may hold a password for the remote ser-
 vice represented by this entry. The password may be used by a
 script file to automatically perform a log-on operation.
 Please note that this field is not encrypted, so if security
 is a problem, do not store your passwords in the dialing di-
 rectory!
