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.

macros available. (registered version
only)
F1 Shows a help-screen with all the SysOp keys

time online.

page the SysOp earlier.
F9 Shows the name and login time of the last
caller.

today. It also displays the date of birth
of the current user.

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