Services, Specialties and Ground Rules
--------------------------------------
THINGS In a typical OPUS(tm) system, the SysOp (SYStem OPerator) both
TO owns and manages the local BBS. He or she will set all the
KNOW policies for the BBS, define its scope and emphasis, determine
Message and File Areas, decide which services to provide and
monitor the ongoing operations of the system. With the
broad flexibility of the OPUS(tm) software this results in a
wealth of customized Bulletin Board Systems, each with their
own unique approach. The broad variety of BBSs to be found
accounts for the great appeal of "BBSing".
THE It is important to emphasize that each SysOp has complete
SYSOP control over his/her own BBS. Throughout this manual we will
discuss ALL of the various services and functions of
OPUS(tm); however, all services may not be available to
all users. Your local SysOp has the ability to
provide different levels of service to different groups
of users (and even individuals). Therefore, some of the

services listed in this manual may not be available to you on
all OPUS(tm) systems. If you have any questions about
these services please contact the SysOp on your local
OPUS(tm) system AFTER having read any public policies he/she
may have made available.
Getting Help When You Need It
-----------------------------
HELP Because calling a BBS and using EM can be a trying experience
for the novice, OPUS(tm) has designed its "pathways" to always
make help available at the touch of a key. When logged onto an
OPUS(tm) system you will have the ability to call upon
various HELP screens at each prompt along your journey.
Usually just entering a question mark will solve your problem
and allow you to continue. If, however, you run into major
difficulties, or simply cannot find the help you need, there
are still options.

OPUS(tm) allows for paging the SysOp or leaving private mail
with any comments or questions you may have. In addition, a
powerful resource can be found in many of the OPUS(tm) Message
Areas. There are always new users who are trying OPUS(tm)
for the first time. Through the Message Areas these new users
have the opportunity to interact with the "veterans" and
get the help they might need.
