+This file describes all the environment variables and options that are
+available in TELNET.INI. If you are having problems with a terminal setting,
+this is the file you want to read first. If this file does not help you,
+please send a bug report to Paul Brannan <pbranna@clemson.edu>.
+
+Environment variables
+---------------------
+
+Before there was a telnet.ini file, all the options were controlled
+through environment variables. These have been left in for compatibility
+with previous versions, and for specifying locations of files. They
+override any values in telnet.ini.
+
+TELNET_CFG Specifies the location of the keys.cfg file
+TELNET_REDIR Specifies whether file redirection needs to be supported
+INPUT_REDIR Specicies only to redirect input
+OUTPUT_REDIR Specifies only to redirect output
+TELNET_INI Specifies the location of the telnet.ini file
+
+Configuration options
+---------------------
+
+These are the options that you can specify in telnet.ini. This file is in
+the same format as any normal Windows ini file. You can also change some
+of these options using the SET command at the telnet> prompt.
+
+[Terminal] section
+
+Dumpfile
+Specifies the filename of a file to dump output to. (Default = "")
+
+Term
+The name of the terminal type to send to the server. You
+can use this if Telnet is sending "ANSI" but you have a
+vt100 terminal. If you use this options, please read about
+some of the other options below. (Default = ansi)
+
+EightBit_Ansi
+Some machines use the ASCII characters 128 to 155 for ANSI
+sequences. These are usually the newer VAX systems. Turning
+this option on may cause problems with certain foreign
+(non-American) character sets. (Default = FALSE)
+
+VT100_Mode
+This option turns on VT100 mode. There are a few minor
+differences between ANSI terminals and DEC VT100 terminals.
+I recommend trying TERM=vt220 or TERM=vt102 before trying
+this option, but if you must have true VT100 emulation,
+this is the only way to get it. (Default = FALSE)
+
+Destructive_Backspace
+This will probably cause problems with most programs, but if you need the
+backspace to erase the previous character (as with some BBSes), use this
+option. (Default = FALSE)
+
+Speaker_Beep
+If you set this to true you will hear beeps through the PC speaker; setting
+it to false will play the default system beep sound through your sound
+card. (Default = TRUE)
+
+Beep
+Setting this to false turns off all beeps; setting this to true turns on
+all beeps. (Default = TRUE)
+
+Preserve_Colors
+This turns on color preservation for systems that require it (like SCO).
+(Default = FALSE)
+
+Wrap_line
+This turns on/off line wrap. (Default = TRUE)
+
+Lock_linewrap
+Turning on this option disables the ability of the remote end to control
+line wrap, and "locks" it into whatever it is set to in the ini file.
+(Default = FALSE)
+
+Fast_write
+This turns on/off fast screen write. Turning it off allows you to see
+control characters if your application requires it. (Default = TRUE)
+
+Term_width
+Term_height
+These options specify the size of the terminal. You can specify non-standard
+sizes if you are running telnet in a window. You may want to specify
+a font size if you use these (using "Auto" can cause display problems).
+Specifying -1 means use the settings for the parent console.
+(Default = -1, -1)
+
+Wide_enable
+This is to allow the ANSI parser to change the screen size when sent certain
+escape sequences. This is for vt100 compatibility. (Default = FALSE)
+
+Buffer_size
+This is the size of the ANSI buffer used for parsing sequences. Increasing
+this value speeds up the parser, and decreasing it allows the mouse to
+respond faster. (Default = 2048)
+
+Input_redir
+Output_redir
+These are for redirecting input and output. (Default = 0, 0)
+Any value greater than 0 turns redir on. Turn Output_redir on to bypass
+the Console Telnet screen writing and positioning functions and simply
+pass the data stream as received from the host straight through.
+
+Strip_redir
+If enabled, this option will attempt to strip the stream before passing it on
+through redirected output. This will have no effect on non-redirected output.
+(Default=FALSE)
+
+[Colors] section
+
+Setting the following to -1 disables them:
+Blink_bg Background color to use for blink (default = -1)
+Blink_fg Foreground color to use for blink (default = -1)
+Underline_bg Background color to use for underline (default = -1)
+Underline_fg Foreground color to use for underline (default = -1)
+UlBlink_bg Background color to use for blink+uline (default = -1)
+UlBlink_fg Foreground color to use for blink+uline (default = -1)
+
+Setting the following to -1 uses colors detected at startup:
+Normal_bg Normal text background color (default = -1)
+Normal_fg Normal text foreground color (default = -1)
+
+Please do not set these values to -1:
+Scroll_bg Background color for scrollback mode (default = 0)
+Scroll_fg Foreground color for scrollback mode (default = 7)
+Status_bg Bg color of status line in scrollback (default = 1)
+Status_fg Fg color of status line in scrollback (default = 15)
+
+Here's a list of colors:
+0 - black, 1 - blue, 2 - green, 3 - cyan, 4 - red, 5 - magenta, 6 - brown
+7 - lt. grey (dk. white), 8 - dk. grey, 9 - bright blue, 10 - bright green,
+11 - bright cyan, 12 - bright red, 13 - bright magenta, 14 - yellow
+15 - bright white
+
+[Mouse] section
+
+Enable_Mouse
+Turns on mouse support. (Default = TRUE)
+
+[Printer] section
+
+Printer_Name
+The DOS name for the printer. (Default = LPT1)
+
+[Keyboard] section
+Many of these options are also available from telnet.cfg.
+
+Escape_key
+The key to break out of a telnet session. (Default = ])
+
+Scrollback_key
+The key for switching to scrollback mode. (Default = [)
+
+Dial_key
+You can start a new telnet session with this key. (Default = \)
+
+Alt_erase
+If you set this to true, it will swap backspace and delete.
+(Default = FALSE)
+
+Keyboard_paste
+This option allows pasting to the screen via shift-insert. (Default = FALSE)
+
+Keyfile
+Selects an alternate telnet.cfg file. (Default = TELNET.CFG)
+
+Default_Config
+Selects a different keyboard definition. All of these are defined in
+telnet.cfg.
+
+[Scrollback] section
+
+Scroll_Mode
+Selects the default mode for scrollback. Valid selections are:
+ HEX Hex dump
+ DUMP Dump, control characters are shown as "."
+ DUMPB Binary dump
+ TEXT Text mode
+Note: you can press TAB in scrollback mode to cycle through these.
+(Default = DUMP)
+
