The LinKT Manual: Menu file - away

## Menu File Away <Alt+A>

By selecting this menuitem you can select one of the away-texts.

Having configured the away-texts, you can easily send a message to all connected stations.

E.g. if you are back at the station ("`here`"), or gone to answer the telephone, or maybe just gone to bed. Alternatively you may select the lowest button and type an instant message. You may use macros.

Depending on the connected remote station type, there can be different messages.

- `Terminals` will get `##` something like. "`## SysOp is away: Just a moment-... [23:15:42]`")
- `convers-nodes` will receive the message with a leading /a.
- All other stations (nodes and BBSs) do not need this feature and will not receive any message.
