- =========[ ArcDoor Help ]=====================================
-
- This program is very easy to use. Here's a brief description of
- the command options:
-
-
- [F]...Choose an ARChive filename.
-
- Choosing an archive is the first thing to do. All subsequent
- operations will be performed on the archive you have specified
- until you choose another one using the [F] option again.
-
- When you enter an archive filename, leave out the .ARC extension
- -- the program supplies it for you automatically. So, to choose
- EXAMPLE.ARC, you just type EXAMPLE (upper or lower case -- it
- doesn't matter).
-
- [L]...List files in ******.ARC
-
- Once you have chosen an archive, a new menu appears. On this
- menu, the [L] option will give you a verbose listing of the
- files in the archive, just like the -V option of the ARC program
- itself. You'll see the names of all the files in the archive,
- their sizes and dates, and other information.
-
- [D]...Display a file from ******.ARC
-
- If you wish to read one of the files in an archive that you have
- listed, the [D] option allows you to do so. You'll be asked for
- the name of the file you wish to read, and then it will be
- displayed to you one page at a time. If you wish, at the bottom
- of any page you can tell the program to do a non-stop listing by
- choosing the [S]croll option, which can then be aborted at any
- time with Control-K.
-
- The program will not allow you to display binary files, such as
- EXE or COM files.
-
- [H]...Help with using ArcDoor.
-
- Brings up the help file that you are reading right now.
-
- [X]...Expert mode toggle. (menus/no menus)
-
- Turns the menus off and on again. Once you have learned the
- commands, this will speed things up a bit.
-
- [Q]...Return to PCBoard main menu.
-
- When you are all finished, choose [Q] to return to the PCBoard
- program itself. It takes a few seconds for PCBoard to reload,
- so be patient. You'll be asked for your logon password for
- PCBoard. After you supply your password, you'll be back to the
- PCBoard command prompts.
