Other Features

• Visitors can leave a message on the computer. The system records their name, and the date and time of the message, and displays a prompt on the screen indicating message(s) are waiting.
• Record a note - leave a message for yourself. Notes are not counted as messages on the "mail" flag so you're the only person who knows they are there. Notes are also stored in a different directory from messages, and are reviewed by a different command.
• Show notes - used to gain access to the notes you've recorded. The password is the same as the one you use for DOS signon, or to show mail.
• Set an alarm. You can choose the time and alarm sound.
• Turn the alarm off.
• Standby - currently only removes the flashing lights from the screen. More functions are planned for the future, including an amazing giant clock display.
• Sign on to DOS. Enter your password when you have entered this command to gain access to your computer's DOS functions. The password is not echoed to the screen, and any wrong ones will be ignored.
• Toggle the chime control. You will be prompted with the current state of the switch, and asked if you want to change it. Press the 'Y' key if you do, anything else will leave it the way it is.
• Turn chimes on directly, if they are off. If they are already on, no change will take place.
• Turn chimes off directly, if they are on.
• Showmail - This is the function you'll use to read the messages that have been left for you. Use the same password to show your mail as you would use to sign on to DOS.
• Showmail, with a forced search for messages that have already been read (but not saved or deleted). This is the only way to reread your mail unless a new message has been recorded and the "You have a message" flag is displayed on the screen.
• Set the system date.
• Set the system time.
• Display SignOff^TM's version and license data.
• Display the copyright notices of the libraries used to build SignOff^TM.
