You change settings using the set command; you can +view your current settings (or those of another user) using the variables +command. + + Some settings concern what information the server will transmit to you, such +as communications from other players and notifications about games starting or +users logging on/off. Other settings concern chess matches, such as your +default time controls, whether you will hear a bell when a new board +position is sent to you, whether you will be sent a list of the moves for your +game automatically when the game is completed (or adjourned), even the format +used to send you the board position. + + By changing these settings, you can create the kind of atmosphere you would +like to have. You can change these settings at any time, even during a given +session. For the most part, changes you make to your settings will be saved +after you log off and you will not need to change the settings each time you +log on. + + Your password is also a special setting, although it is never displayed at +any point. When you register, you are given a logon password. You may change +your password at any point using the password command. + + Lastly, it is possible for you to create special aliases to save you from +typing phrases you use often. Instead of typing the whole phrase, all you +do is type your alias. + +See Also: alias password set variables + +[Last modified: July 7, 1995 -- Friar] + |
