          CHAPTER TWO ANNEX O    E. TEXT SECTIONS CONFIGURATION          
         ͼ

                Text files from within various directories on your system
         may be configured here for display.  Types of text files commonly
         configured here include (but are not limited to):

                  game scoreboards
                  general information about your BBS
                  standard operating procedures / rules for your BBS
                  information about viruses
                  rules of "netiquette"

         and so on.
                To add a new entry to the text section configuration,
         press [F1] at the scrolling-window screen.  You will be prompted
         for the following information:

         1) Name
            
                The name of the text section, as it will appear to the
                user.

         2) Path
            
                The full pathname to the directory in which the text
                file(s) is located.

         3) Security Level
            
                The MSL needed to access this particular text section.

         4) Access Flag
            
                The access flag needed to access this particular section
                (please see "The User Editor" for more on access flags).

         To edit an entry, move the highlight bar to the desired entry
         and press [Enter].  You will have a chance to edit the above
         information.
                In VCONFIG, you can define any directory on your system as
         containing text for a defined subject area.  Text directories may
         be networked by using a script maintaining a database for text
         files.

         TIP >    It might be wise to keep these text files fairly
                       short since they are read on-lie.  Longer text files
                       may be zipped up and made available for download.
