Below are some suggested additional settings that might suit personal preference. They are illustrated by example. The settings can be appended to the configuration string in the port number box of the automatic setup dialogue, each being separated from the previous by a space. If the configuration string gets too long, you can access the settings file directly at a later stage.
- To set the interval between transmitted characters when automatically sending the dial command to the modem to 50 milliseconds instead of the default 150: p,,,,,,,,,50 - 150 milliseconds might be much greater than is necessary, which could be as low as 10 for fastest operation; however, too great a value is better than too small for slow modems, since sending commands too fast can cause errors. Experiment with this setting if you wish when the system is fully working.
- On Windows 95/98/ME systems, if you find the Braille updates sluggishly when going into Communications Mode: b-900 - This setting will not interfere with the Braille display length specification, which is a positive number.
- On Windows NT and later systems, if you find the Braille updates sluggishly when going into communications mode: b-0
- To have a "Clipboard" heading at the beginning of the Braille line: b,+Clipboard - Settings relating to the Braille line prompt are not acknowledged until WintextCom has been shut down and restarted.
- To activate the editing window in Communications Mode after specifying a Braille length: e
In case you are wondering why WintextCom settings format is so arcane, it is because every setting in the settings file can be specified directly on the command line, such as in shortcut target fields or by other software starting WintextCom, so the syntax is as brief as possible at the expense of clarity.
