entered hundreds of commands ago or resend that 6-line tell
again, but this time spell the name right!
-
Command Line Tab-Completion
When tab-completion is enabled, text that comes across your
screen is captured into a buffer. When you then type in part
of a word into the Command Line, then hit the Tab key, Portal©
will attempt to match it to one of the words in the buffer.
Hitting Tab again will cycle to the next possible match.
Shift+Tab reverses the cycling. This is beyond cool, and
extremely useful when you see it in action.

directly from Portal©! Launch your CD player right
from Portal©!

shorthanded when you get stuck in a maze again!

Character Security Locking
Secure your character if you need to get up and leave
the computer for a while. Only your password will gain
you access! Now you can go get that Mountain Dew
and not have your practical-joking buddy give all
your gold away to newbies while you're gone!
-
One-Touch "Boss" Panic Button
Press the panic button and "abracadabra!" the entire
program morphs into that of an innocent system clock.
Also, you can use the panic locking or idle-panic features
to secure your privacy even more.
You can even still control the game while in this mode
to quietly close it down even with the boss looking
over your shoulder!
-
Graphical Room Monitor
For Portal© supported MUDs, check out the cool room monitor that
gives a graphical representation of the room you're currently in.
Also, click on any of the active directions and the command gets
sent immediately to the game.
-
Full-Circle" Action Functionality
Most any action in Portal© can be performed
by any other action. Have an event fire an alias or
macro, or have a line of quickchars fire off a string
of parsed commands. Each action has its own,
custom-configured settings to use variables
with, use functions with, use nicknames on and much
much more. No other client anywhere gives you the
command flexibility that Portal© for Windows does!
-
Powerful Scrollback
Simply tapping PageUp brings up the customizable
scrollback split-screen, allowing you to view the
scrollback as well as see new, incoming text. Once
you're done perusing, simply press Escape and the
screen returns to normal viewing. Keep up to 10,000
lines in your scrollback buffer and even search for
a specific value! Write the scrollback to a file,
capture incoming text to a file or even better,
select text in either the main screen or scrollback
with the mouse and the window will auto-scroll as
you move up and down! Also, copying is a breeze
with the convenient autocopy feature. Simply select
a block of text and it's instantly copied to the
clipboard!
-
Floating Screens
Each screen of the client is a separate window, able
to be placed where desired. You can even anchor these
screens to the main screen to move as it moves. Each
player's complete desktop configuration is saved
in their individual profile, then loaded again each
login! Don't you wish your car worked like this when
your wife leaves the seat shoved way up?

Some Comments by Portal© for Windows users
It's really quite stable and feature rich. It has a lot
of nifty things, really, which makes it more than just
'useful' but also fun. I mean, every client now has
aliases/macros/triggers, so it's the extra stuff that
makes me enjoy it. Ease of use is important too."
My favorite things are definitely the HP bars and
the status monitor. I have turned off my HP line,
which streamlines combat a LOT, and the graphical
HP bars really make it much easier to follow
what's going on in combat. You don't have to
think as much before you react. I use triggered
sounds to track stuff like that in high-scroll
environments, and with the status windows, now
I don't need to."
The Autotyper is a big favorite for me. I do a
lot of text pasting into the mud - court notes,
mails, and especially guild file updates. Pueblo
and GMud don't have anything like it, and ZMud's
seems a bit anemic in comparison."
I really like the Ticker. It lets you schedule
actions to occur at pre-set intervals. For example,
in Court World I use one to 'hword targ' where I
nickname somebody to my current target. Pueblo
and ZMud have that, but it's not nearly as easy
to use, so most folks never learn it."
The many Hit Point bars on the bottom of the
screen are damn nice. It's great to see all
that info constantly."
I think the sound ability is rocking. I LOVE the
pagedown/up and scrollback options we have with it.
I get lost too easily in scroll, so that makes it
fantastic and easy!"
I think the built in sounds and images are cool.
I LOVE the filters - instead of figuring out how
to trigger it, I just add an entry to a filter
and don't see a thing. It's great!"
I think the chat and tell monitors are unique
to the client, as are the status and message
monitors. I think the ability to selectively
activate commands to retain is a great
improvement over a global command line
retention. I also think the ability to
search your Keyhistory is an improvement.
The Autotyper also rocks."
The Keyhistories (get this, there are two of
them!) allow you to quickly grab a previous
command easily. This rocks, especially if you
made a typo in a huge line. Also, I have never
seen a client anywhere handle ANSI so cleanly.
Most will do the colors fine, but the flashing,
underline, italics, etc. really sets a new
standard for what other clients should do."
Unlike other mud clients, this worked
flawlessly across my own network at home
allowing both my girlfriend and I to
finally enjoy playing together rather
than just having our characters follow
each other around.
Only one other out of 15 different clients
I tried, worked with winproxy, and it didn't
do so half as well.
The fact that the alias variables
resemble the variable structure from the
smaug code I build in, made creating aliases
a breeze.
The built in text editor was like a
customizable offline room builder. It saved
me hours of internet time as I dont have
unlimited hours, not to mention alot of money.
I do all my building offline then log on and
let the autotyper do the work for me.
Great Program!"
