Oooooo.... low blow, Steve! ARICKAPHOBIA indeed. Hey, I have better things to do then to sit here and laugh my ___ off at all the stupid things that folks do, or try to do online. There's four lines, here, and I can't monitor all of them in real time all the time, you know. Besides, I work for a living, you know? I do the club stuff duing the day and teaching during the evening. I do not sit here watching the BBS. However, from time to time I turn on the online activity capture routine. This routine captures all the keystrokes that folks do online to a file which is then analysed by a utility that come with TBBS. I turn it on from time to time to gather some statistics for future upgrades, etc. Now, reading that file can be a real side splitter, indeed. The sad thing from your point of view is that you will "never know" when I'm monitoring... ha, ha, ha, ha.... If you use P to pause the host, use <enter> to start it again. If you use CTRL S to pause the host, use CTRL Q to start it again. If you use <f1> prev key to pause the host and look back 8 lines (this is one of the function key settings in TELCOM on a stock laptop), simply tap your <f1> to start it again. If you get totally stuck, just pull the plug and log on again. This host is abuser-tollerant!!! -Rick-
