Sticky Mode:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the nicest features of Ultra Colors is something we call Sticky
Mode.  Stickyness is fairly simple - while in teleconference, color
changes of outgoing messages span multiple messages.

Stickyness will cause a user's messages to be in a desired foreground
and background color.

There are several Sticky Color features:

#1 - A user's Sticky Color can be turned ON and OFF.  When the Sticky
Color is ON, the UCL_STICKY text variable yields that user's Sticky
Color.  If the Sticky Color is OFF, the UCL_STICKY text variable does
nothing.

#2 - A user's Sticky Color can be fixed, or constantly changing.  We
call this feature Stickyness.  When Stickyness is ON, the Sticky Color
is constantly changing.  This means every time the user does a color
command, that command also effects the Sticky Color.  When Stickyness
is -OFF-, the Sticky Color remains constant.

#3 - A user's Sticky Color may be cleared out.  When this is done, the
Sticky Color does nothing.  You may be curious as to why this is different
from turning the Sticky Color off.  Its simple - turning a Sticky Color off
stops it completely.  When you reset it, you can then redefine one or more
elements of the Sticky Color - such as foreground color only.  The Sticky
Color then changes the foreground but has no effect on the background at
all.

Text Variables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UCL_HELP: Ultra Colors Help Command Text Variable.  If you wish to display
          this command in other places on your bbs, you can use this
          text variable.

UCL_STICKY: Ultra Colors Sticky Text Variable.  Put this text variable
            immediately in front of the %s variable corresponding to a
            user's teleconference message.  In the Entertainment
            Teleconference, this would be the option TLCFRM - and it
            would be the 2nd %s within that option.  In the stock
            teleconference the option would be NMTALK, and it is also
            the 2nd %s.  Sticky Colors also works in Cheersoft's Anonymous
            Teleconference and in several other teleconference packages,
            you'll need to find the correct location to place UCL_STICKY.

UCL_RESET: This is the text variable which immediately follows the user's
           teleconference message.  It is designed to undo the color
           changes UCL_STICKY did.

UCL_ASCII: This is the command that brings up an extended ASCII chart.

UCL_STKYONOFF: This is the command to turn Sticky mode on and off.

UCL_STKYMODE: This is the command that toggles the stickiness of the
              Sticky Mode.

UCL_STKYRST: This is the command to reset Sticky colors.
