====== SysOp Keys ======

While the user is on-line, the SysOp can perform several actions, by using the SysOp keys:

  <Ctrl-Left-Arrow>             Lower or Raise the security level of the
  <Ctrl-Right-Arrow>            user who is currently online.  Only the
                                levels you previously configured in PROCFG
                                can be selected.
  Up/Down                       Raise/Lower the current user's time left.
                                The time subtracted/added is not restricted
                                to this session!
  Alt-C   [Chat]                Start a chat with the user. The chat may be
                                ended by pressing <Esc>.
  Alt-J   [Jump]                Jump to DOS. If 'Swapping' was set to 'Yes'
                                in PROCFG, the ProBoard session will be
                                swapped to disk or EMS, thus making all
                                memory available to the DOS commands you
                                want to execute.  You can return from the
                                shell by entering EXIT at the DOS prompt.
  Alt-H   [HangUp]              Hangs up the phone, throwing the user off-
                                line immediately (very unfriendly)!
  Alt-L   [LockOut]             Hangs up the phone AND sets the user's
                                level to 0, thus making sure he/she cannot
                                log in any more (very very unfriendly)!
  Alt-N   [SysOp Next]          Creates a semaphore file called
                                SysOpNXT.SEM in the ProBoard system
                                directory.  Also will play the music file
                                SysOpNXT.MUS when user logs off so you are
                                aware your BBS is free.
  Alt-E   [Edit]                Allows you to edit the user online.  The
                                editor is similar to the editor in ProCFG.
  Alt-I   [Image]               Appends an image of the screen to the file
                                IMAGE.TXT in the ProBoard system directory.
  Alt-R  [Reset]                Resets the chat request status. This will
                                stop the flashing of the status line.
  Alt-S  [Static]               What can I say.  Useful in combination with
                                the ALT-H to help you, the friendly SysOp,
                                free up your board when needed.  (somewhat
                                friendlier) ;-)
  Alt-Y  [No Chat]              Makes ProBoard not sound the page music if
                                the user online when you press this, pages
                                you.  Comes in very handy when you see that
                                user who ALWAYS wants to chat is logging on
                                to your BBS.

                                of the current user.

Furthermore, there are 10 programmable hotkeys (SysOp macros).  They can be configured in ProCFG using the F10 option.
