COMMANDS MUST BE ENTERED HERE IN ALL CAPS!!!! (They can be entered in any case
at the matrix prompt though!) To DISABLE ANY Command just CHANGE it's entry
to LOWER CASE <This way if you want to enable them at a later time you can
just edit this file and change them back to UPPER CASE to RE-enable a command.
You may also enter a 0 "Numeral Zero in the proper line" to DISABLE a command!
- ALL 20 LINES OF COMMANDS.CNF MUST BE FILLED IN!
TO DISABLE A COMMAND ENTER A 0 "Numeral Zero" INSTEAD OF A WORD/COMMAND
OR CHANGE THE CASE TO lower case. Commands are valid only if IN UPPER CASE!
(ALL Command Names) 0=None/Disabled (or change the cmd to lower case)
To enable command/Name enter the NAME in ALL CAPS.
- The above Configuration lines allow you to define the matrix commands
- You may change any of these commands to your liking! However if you
- do change the meaning of them, then you should Edit the MENU display file
- accordingly so callers will see a listing of the correct commands.
- Also NOTE that something must be entered in these lines!!! If you leave
- the line blank MT-Matrix will interpet that as a Carriage return! and run
- whatever command you leave blank simply by entering ENTER at the matrix
- prompt! In other words LINE 1 of COMMANDS.CNF file is the SYSTEM LOADER
- If you leave LINE 1 BLANK then hitting ENTER at the Matrix Prompt would
- Run the system loader! "NOT RECOMMENDED!"
- To disable a command enter a 0 "numeral Zero" in the proper
- command Line! In other words if you wanted to disable the CHAT
- command/feature then entering a 0 on line 10 would disable that
- the CHAT feature/command! If you wanted to disable PAGE <same
- thing as CHAT> then you would enter a 0 on line 11 and both of
- them commands would NOT work! You may also enter the command name
- in lower case. MT-Matrix can only interpet the command name from
- this configuration file if it's entered here ALL IN CAPS! <at matrix
- prompt they may be entered in any case though!>
