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.

                             pressing F2-F10.

                             caller.

F10 Shows the time used and Kbytes downloaded

                             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.
