Here is where you change information about yourself (name,¨
address, password, etc.) as well as about your terminal program.

Fido will remember these settings each time you log in.

* Enter "N?" for help with the N)ame command
* Enter "P?" for help with the P)assword command
.
.
* And so on for all the commands you see in the menu.

(Don't enter the quotes, just the command letter and the¨
questionmark.)

\N
N)ame. Enter a new Name, up to 3 words; you may now enter a¨
middle name or initial with your first and last names. Fido¨
checks that the name you select isn't already in the caller¨
database.

\A
A)ddress. Enter a new Address (max. - 35 characters.); minimum is¨
the City, State from which you are calling.

\P
P)assword. Enter a new one-word Password; use 4 or more¨
characters.

\H
H)elp-level. Enter a new Help level; there are three levels of¨
help. When you first log in, you get LEVEL 3.

LEVEL 3: FULL HELP. All prompts show the full command names;¨
various commands display information as you use them; in general,¨
Fido is more "wordy".

LEVEL 2: SOME HELP. Prompts show only the first letter of each¨
command; Fido is a lot less "wordy", but you are still prompted¨
for each item needed.

LEVEL 1: NO HELP. Prompts are single, unhelpful prompts, such as:¨
"Command (?=help: )" . It is assumed you that understand Fido¨
completely.

\C
Columns. Set the number of characters your screen can show on one¨
line. Fido initially assumes that you have 80 columns.

\L
L)ines. Set you Screen Lines in lines. Fido initially assumes¨
your screen has 24 lines. 

Normally, Fido pauses every screenful when displaying text and¨
prompts "More[Y,n]"; you can press "Y" or [CR] to continue, "N"¨
or Control-C to stop.

To disable this, set L)ines to 0.

\I
I)nterface. If other languages or interfaces are available,¨
prompts you to choose one. 

\F
F)iller-Nulls. Prompts you for the number of null characters ¨
(ASCII 0 decimal) that your terminal program needs after each new¨
line. Fido initially assumes none needed.

This is needed only for very special cases; if you are ¨
consistently missing text at the left edge of your screen, try¨
changing this value.
