Novaterm 9.6 User's Manual
If you specified REU as your choice of memory expansion. See
section 4.2.1, 80-column driver for information about using the fast-
scrolling 80-column driver.
3.1.6.3 Displaying color
One limitation of the Commodore 64 is that it cannot display more
than two colors in a given 8x8 pixel area. (It can in multicolor mode,
but this mode cuts the horizontal resolution in half, so it can't be used
for 80 columns.) Therefore, every two adjacent characters in 80-
column mode must be the same color. This can cause some characters
to appear in a different color than intended by the on-line service.
This explains why some ANSI colr/graphics displays will appear
distorted when displayed in Novaterm's 80-column mode.
3.2 Dialing directory
Novaterm provides a phone directory for keeping tack of on-line
services you call frequently. In the phone directory, you may create
an entry for each number you call. You have the opportunity to define
several configuration options for each entry. When you dial an entry
an make a connection, the configuration options you specified are
automatically set for you.
You may enter a maximum of 19 entries. However, you may keep
separate lists of entries stored in different files called "phone books".
Phone books are useful if you have more than 19 entries to store, or if
you want to keep some entries logically separated. For instance, when
I moved back and forth between Seattle and Los Angeles for school, I
kept my list of Seattle numbers in a file called seattle phone and
my list of Los Angeles numbers in la phone.
3.2.1 Creating a dialing directory
To get started with a new phone book, press F2 to edit the first blank
entry. Novaterm brings up the entry editing menu. Most of the fields
will be blank for a new entry. Move the menu bar down to each item
and enter values.
Each item has the following meaning:
Name of entry: Name of the BBS or on-line service.
Phone number: Phone number to be dialed. When entering a phone
number, a comma embedded between two digits represents a one-
second delay.
