- SP call @ bbscall.haddr Send a private msg Ex: SP K8EIW @ WB8BII.OH.USA.NA

- SB category @ route Send a bulletin Ex: SB NEED @ ALLOH
- SR msg# Send reply Ex: SR 12723 or SR 12723.
-
- In SB if call is a user of this system you can omit the @ bbscall.haddr
- In ST, NTSst means to replace st with the state its going to: OH for Ohio, etc.
- In SR, if you put a period after the msg #, a title will automatically be made
- by preceeding the original title with RE:
- IMPORTANT: SR tries its best to determine where the reply should go, but
- it is not always perfect! The same applies to the REP command.
- Never uses SSID's in callsigns (ex: don't use WA8BXN-2, just use WA8BXN)
-
- Hierarchical addresses are of the form state.country.continent. Other parts
- may be used by a particular BBS, if you know them, use them.
-
- When sending personal messages to a distant bbs, it is a good idea to put
- the destination city and state in the title.

- When you are done typing your message, end it with either ^Z (Control-Z) or
- /EX at the beginning of a line.
