-
- B -- Allows you to reread the special bulletin. This bulletin is written
- by the sysop of the current board. It is a way to bring important
- information to your attention. This bulletin is also printed to you
- automatically, if you have not seen it yet, when you first enter the
- board.
-
- D# -- Allows you to delete a bulletin from the current board. Once the
- message is deleted there is no way to get it back. This command can
- only be executed by the SysOp, Manager or the person who posts the
- message. Users can not delete bulletins they did not post. To
- delete a message just enter the letter "D" followed by the message
- number.
-
- D#-# -- This option is like the one above. It allows the SysOp to delete
- a range of messages. First you enter a 'D'. Without hitting return
- you then type the number of the lowest message to start at;
- followed by the highest message in the range to delete.
-
- YOU MUST ENTER A DASH BETWEEN THE FIRST AND LAST MESSAGE TO DELETE!!
-
- H -- Reprints this file.
-
- P -- Allows you to post a new message. You will be asked for the name
- of the person to send it to, or you can enter a return for all. You
- will then be prompted for a subject and text of the message. The
- BBS this posts the message on the current board for anyone to read.
- (For private messages, you will need to send them in the mail area.)
-
- Q -- Returns you to the menu that was just prior to the board menu you
- are at right now.
-
- # -- Allows you to read a message.
- The syntax is the message number you wish to
- read. The computer then prints the message you have selected to
- your screen.
-
- R#-# -- Allow you to read a range of messages. Enter the letter "R"
- followed by the starting message, a dash, then the ending message.
- For example if I wanted to read messages 1 to 10 I would enter
- "R 1-10".
-
- RE -- Allows you to reply to the message you just read. The message
- number you are replying to is in brackets at the read message prompt.
- You will only be prompted for the text of your message, the subject
- etc., will automatically be entered for you.
-
- RQ -- This option allows you to reply to the message that you just read
- much like the RE command, but it also allows you to take part of
- the message you just read and quote it for the reply. When quoting
- you select the lines to bring forward.
-
- RN -- Allows you to read new messages that have been posted since the
- last time you were on the board. By entering this command you will
- get the first new message printed out automatically. By entering
- return after the first new message you will get the next new message,
- and so forth.
-
- RNC -- Allows you to read new messages one right after another. It finds
- the new message much like the RN command but it shows all. You can
- use control characters to pause, abort, and for next message.
-
- S# -- Allows you to scan a message header. Enter the letter "S" followed
- by the number of the message you wish to scan. The letter "S" is
- required.
-
- S#-# -- Allow you to scan a range of messages. Enter the letter "S"
- followed by the starting message, a dash, then the ending message.
- For example if I wanted to scan messages 1 to 10 I would enter
- "S 1-10".
-
- SN -- Allows you to scan new messages. By entering "SN" you will be
- shown a scan of new messages since you were last on.
-
- GN -- Allows you to do a Global Scan of all Marked Boards for new messages
- that have been posted since the last time you were on the board. By
- entering this command you will get the first new message printed out
- automatically. By entering return after the first new message you will
- get the next new message, and so forth. After each board the system
- will ask you if you wish to post on this conference.
-
- ? -- Reprints the board menu.
-
- Z -- This command allows the sysop to update the special bulletin. The
- special bulletin is much like the welcome bulletin, in that it
- is displayed when one enters the current board. It is shown once
- to those who have not seen it, and can be read again with the B
- command. (NORMAL USERS CAN NOT USE THIS COMMAND)
-
- ---Scan Commands---
- MB - MARK BOARD: This command allows a caller to mark the board for
- scanning and to allow them to move between boards. If a board
- is not marked they can not be scanned at logon, nor can they
- use the NB command.
- UB - UNMARK BOARD: This is the opposite of the mark board command
- NB - NEXT BOARD: This command is to boards as the teleporter is to
- menus. This command when choosen looks for the next marked
- and takes the caller to it.
- C - *SYSOP* COPY MESSAGE: Takes the current message and replaces the
- special bulletin with it.
