The AVT program offers a variety of startup options that may be utilized either from the WorkBench or the CLI. Before we get to these, we should point out one of the programs contained in the tools drawer: NextScreen This is an EXTREMELY useful program to have running in your system while using the AVT system - or any other software, for that matter. It changes the function of the Left-Amiga-M key such that the NEXT screen is brought to the rear, instead of the active screen. This is very important in the AVT system, because there may be as many as 3 screens active just from the AVT program itself... then there's the workbench, and what if you have a graphics screen up? Trust us - you NEED this utility! To use it, under 1.2, you'll also need the program 'runback', also in the tools drawer. Put them both in your c: directory, and place this line in your startup-sequence file: runback c:nextscreen To use it under 1.3, just place the nextscreen program in your c: directory, and put this line in your startup-sequence: run >nil: nextscreen You really will not regret installing this particular piece of software in your system. Ghosting: You may notice that three of the program gadgets, and two of the menu selections are "ghosted", that is, they cannot be selected. These are options that are used with the FAX modes. Once you switch to FAX mode, they will un-ghost, and begin to work as they should. Likewise, in FAX mode, there are a number of gadgets and menu options that are ghosted - Save SSTV, for instance - since you are not in SSTV mode, you can't save SSTV. If a gadget is ghosted, simply ignore it. It is not meant to be used in the mode you are in. Now, on to the program options: You can always get a list of these options when you are in the CLI mode by typing:  AVT_Master ?  Which produces a list similar to this: program parameters: option required AVT_Master path SSTV:raw/path ipath SSTV:iff/path fpath FAX:iff/path ypo val mem val vcall text call text ch val trim val level val  wfax nfax start phase version vw fifty lp 4meg chip ? qrm id cw female robo deep high slow quick Option format for WorkBench tooltypes use: PARMS=id|cw|chip|4meg|version|wfax|nfax|phase|start|qrm|vw|fifty|lp |female|robo|deep|high|slow|quick  PATH=SSTV:raw/path IPATH=SSTV:iff/path FPATH=FAX:iff/path  CALL=CW ID text information VCALL=Voice ID text information LEVEL=value ( 0 -> 63 ) Audio gain level  CHAN=value ( 1 -> 4 ) Audio Channel  TRIM=value ( -255 -> 255 ) Frequency shift  MEM=value ( 1 -> 16 ) Number of memories  YPO=value ( 200 -> 240 ) Screen overscan value Refer to documents for details --N4EJI-- The notation used for the CLI options ( [], <> ) is defined as follows: a term surrounded by the square brackets is an option, plain and simple. You can use it or not, as you see fit according to your needs. The [version] term is an example of this. A term surrounded by the angle brackets MUST be included. In this version of the program, only terms that go along with options are absolutely required. For instance, the term [mem] is an option - but if you look at the list of options printed by the program, you will see that it isn't written that way - it's written: " [mem <1-16>] ", which means this: You can type "mem" or not, as you choose. But if you DO choose to type mem, you MUST supply a number from 1 to 16 to go along with it. In the future, if there is a required parameter, it will be in the option list as "
