===== Function Help - [J]oin a Conference ===========================
This function allows you to join a conference currently supported by
the board.
If you are not a registered member of the conference you select, you
will be so advised and returned to the main menu. If you wish to
join a conference, you must leave a comment for the SYSOP stating the
reason(s) you wish to join.
Upon entering a conference, you are provided a unique file download
security which allows you to download files that are specific to the
conference users. General board users may not download these files.
You are also provided with specific conference bulletins and a private
conference message section that contains messages specifically for
conference members.
If you are registered in more than one conference, you may change to
the other(s) at will. You do not need to [A]bandon the conference
you are presently in.
You can enter a conference using a stacked command. For example, if
you were a registered user of conference #1, the stacked command
would be "J;1" - without the quotes.
Once in a conference, you can select the [B]ulletin option to read
bulletins which are specific to that conference. Also, you will be
provided two additional file directories which contain files that are
unique or specific to that conference. Files listed in the conference
directories can only be downloaded by registered conference members.
The message section of the conference contains messages that only
conference members can read. You still have the option of making
a message secure in a conference by directing it to a specific user
and indicating [R]eceiver security. However, the conference message
section is intended to be for open exchange of ideas between members.
If you want to leave a private message for an individual, it is best
to place it in the main part of the board so that the individual it
is addressed to will be sure and see that it is for him/her when they
first logon. Since they may not join the conference you left the
message in, they may not see it otherwise.
