- Check spelling as you type: This turns on the built-in OS X spelling checker automatically, as if you'd selected it from the Edit menu.

- Sensitive auto-scrolling: Normally, Cantrip scrolls the Display Console when new text arrives from the MU* server. If this checkbox is checked and you've paged back in the Display Console to look at the history, Cantrip won't scroll the window, so you don't lose your place.

- Clear Input After Send: When this is checked, the Input area is cleared as soon as you type `Return`; otherwise, the text you just sent remains in the Input area.

- Smart insert/delete: If this is on, using cut/paste/delete will automatically remove any extra spaces on either side of the text you deleted.

- Return style: By default, Cantrip sends both a CR (Carriage Return character) and an LF (Line Feed character), in that order, at the end of every line of text it sends. However, this may cause some MU* servers to choke. (The main symptom is if you type a command and hit `Return`, and the MU* doesn't recognize that you've typed anything; a good way to check this is to turn Local Echo on, so you can see when you send something.) The Return pop-up menu lets you have Cantrip send just a CR, LF, or LFCR instead.

- Local Echo: Echoes a copy of what you just sent to the MU* server to the Display Console as soon as you hit the `Return` key in the Input area. Useful if the MU* server doesn't echo your actions back to you on its own, and when experiencing a laggy connection.

  - No Echo: Does not echo anything to the Display Console.

  - Echo all text: Echos everything you type to the Display Console.

  - Echo return only: [Editor's note: ???]
