+variables
+
+Usage: variables [user]
+
+ This command will display the variables of the given user. If no user is
+given then your variable settings will be displayed. Here are the variables
+that will be displayed.
+
+VARIABLE INFORMATION
+
+ Name Function
+ ---- --------
+ automail If non-zero, the moves of your games will be mailed to you
+ upon completion; your e-mail address will be used (make sure it
+ is correct; if not, contact an admin).
+ bell If non-zero, a ^G or bell will be sent when a board update
+ is done. In most cases, you will hear a beep.
+ cshout If non-zero, you will hear cshouts. If zero, you will not.
+ f1-f9 Special variables for the formula.
+ flip If is non-zero, rotates the board the opposite way (for
+ example, instead of White at the bottom, Black will be at the
+ bottom).
+ formula The formula used to filter match requests, that is, decline
+ them automatically.
+ gin If non-zero, you will be notified when games begin or end.
+ height Sets the number of lines of text you will receive before a
+ [next] break occurs; usually the screen height.
+ highlight If non-zero, player's names who tell you stuff will be
+ highlighted.
+ jprivate If non-zero, the user's journal cannot be read by others. If
+ zero, it is open to be read by other users.
+ kibitz If non-zero, you will hear kibitz's from observers of your
+ games.
+ kiblevel Limits kibitzes and whispers you will receive to users who have
+ the given rating or higher. Value is reset to 0 when you
+ logout.
+ language Selects a help file in this language, if available. The default
+ is English. Spanish is also available.
+ mailmess If non-zero, messages to you will be mailed to your e-mail
+ address automatically.
+ notifiedby If non-zero, you will be notified by the server when users
+ having you on their notify lists log on/off. If zero, you will
+ not receive such notifications. Use of notifiedby can cut down
+ on the size of notify lists (see "notify" help file for
+ details).
+ open If non-zero, you are willing to accept match requests. If
+ zero, you will not receive match requests.
+ pin If non-zero, you will be informed when any user connects to or
+ disconnects from the server.
+ pgn If non-zero, mails games to you in PGN format. If zero,
+ regular, column format will be used.
+ private If non-zero, then all games you play will be private regardless
+ of your opponent's 'private' variable; no observers will be
+ permitted.
+ prompt This string will be your prompt. Use 'set prompt' to restore
+ the system default. (Caution: some graphics interfaces may need
+ certain prompts in order to work correctly.)
+ rated If zero, your game will not be rated.
+ If non-zero, and all of these conditions hold, then your game
+ will be rated:
+ 1: Your opponent's rated variable is non-zero
+ 2: The time controls for the game qualify as a rated game
+ 3: There are no time-odds
+ 4: The game started position is standard.
+ ropen If zero, you will only be open to match requests from users who
+ have the same setting for "rated". If non-zero, you will
+ receive other requests as well.
+ shout If non-zero, you will hear shouts. If zero, you will not.
+ simopen If non-zero, you are willing to accept simul requests. This
+ variable is always set to 0 when you log in.
+ style The style of board to use.
+ tell If non-zero, you will hear tell's and say's from unregistered
+ users. If zero, you will not.
+ width Sets the width of your display (from 32 to 240).
+ 1-10 This sets your information that is displayed when someone
+ fingers you. You can set these 'notes' to an arbitrary string
+ of length 100. You can display information in ten slots,
+ numbered 1-10.
