===== Function Help - [P]age Length =================================
The [P] function allows you to alter the number of lines of text that
are displayed on your screen before asking if you want "More".
The "More" prompt only appears when displaying directories, help files,
ASCII files, and bulletins whose number of text lines exceed the
number of screen lines specified using the [P] prompt.
The default number of text lines is 23. This figure works best with
CrossTalk, PC-TALK, QMODEM and other software programs that leave the
entire screen clear except for line 25. If you are using Hayes' com-
munications program - SCOM - you may wish to change your number of
text lines to 22, since SCOM uses two lines at the bottom of their
screen for messages. This setting will prevent having data you
haven't had a chance to read from scrolling off the top of your screen.
Once you have specified a different number of screen lines, that
setting will remain in effect permanently. When you logoff, the number
you entered in written into your user file so that on future calls
the number of text lines will be as you have specified previously.
