[arm-allstar] prefix adjustment

[Doug Crompton]

Dan,

 You are looking for the function character settings. It is in the misc.
section of the node definitions in the V1.5 rpt.conf file

;funcchar = *
                                ; function lead-in character (defaults to
'*')
;endchar = #
                                ; command mode end character (defaults to
'#')

I believe you would only have to change the lead-in to = A  and remove the
; before it.

There are a couple of special function definitions that use the A so if you
use them you would want to change that.

Does that answer your question?
