DIALING DIRECTORY

By pressing C-A D the program puts you in the dialing directory.
       Select a command by pressing the capitalized letter or moving
       cursor right/left with the arrow keys or the h/l keys and
       pressing Enter. You can add, delete or edit entries and move them
       up and down in the directory list. By choosing "dial" the phone
       numbers of the tagged entries, or if nothing is tagged, the
       number of the highlighted entry will be dialed. While the modem
       is dialing, you can press escape to cancel dialing. Any other key
       will close the dial window, but won't cancel the dialing itself.
       Your dialing directory will be saved into the file ".dialdir" in
       your home directory.  You can scroll up and down with the arrow
       keys, but you can also scroll complete pages by pressing the
       PageUp or PageDown key.  If you don't have those, use Control-B
       (Backward) and Control-F (Forward). You can use the space bar to
       tag a number of entries and minicom will rotate trough this list
       if a connection can't be made. A '>' symbol is drawn in the
       directory before the names of the tagged entries.

       The "edit" menu speaks for itself, but I will discuss it briefly
       here.
       A - Name
              The name for this entry
       B - Number
              and its telephone number.
       C - Dial string #
              Which specific dial string you want to use to connect.
              There are three different dial strings (prefixes and
              suffixes) that can be configured in the Modem and dialing
              menu.
       D - Local echo
              can be on or off for this system (if your version of
              minicom supports it).
       E - Script
              The script that must be executed after a successful
              connection is made (see the manual for runscript)
       F - Username
              The username that is passed to the runscript program.  It
              is passed in the environment string "$LOGIN".
       G - Password
              The password is passed as "$PASS".
       H - Terminal Emulation
              Use ANSI or VT100 emulation.
       I - Backspace key sends
              What code (Backspace or Delete) the backspace key sends.
       J - Linewrap
              Can be on or off.
       K - Line settings
              Bps rate, bits, parity and number of stop bits to use for
              this connection.  You can choose current for the speed, so
              that it will use whatever speed is being used at that
              moment (useful if you have multiple modems).
       L - Conversion table
              You may specify a character conversion table to be loaded
              whenever this entry answers, before running the login
              script. If this field is blank, the conversion table stays
              unchanged.
       The edit menu also shows the latest date and time when you called
       this entry and the total number of calls there, but doesn't let
       you change them.  They are updated automatically when you
       connect.

       The moVe command lets you move the highlighted entry up or down
       in the dialing directory with the up/down arrow keys or the k and
       j keys. Press Enter or ESC to end moving the entry.
