I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at with this posting. As Alex pointed out, you can use SetConfig to set the particular mode (with the caveat that there's no way to know all of the valid options), without any user interaction. We realize that terminal emulators and BBS's are not the only use for the toolbox, that's one of the reasons we put SetConfig in there - so you can configure things without having the user go through the setup dialog.
