Floors are used to group rooms into related subject areas, just
as rooms are used to group messages into manageable groups.
Floor options are accessed two ways. First, if you are in floor
mode, the [G]oto and [S]kip commands take you to the next room with
new messages on the current floor; if there are none left, then the
system will automatically switch floors (and let you know) and put
you in the first room with new messages on that level.
Direct access to floor options is via the use of a [;] command
the ['] is an alternative). The following commands are currently
available:
;C(onfiguration) Changes you from normal mode to floor mode and visa-versa.
;G(oto FLOORNAME) Goto to the named floor.
;K(nown floors) Prints a list of the floors on the system.
;S(kip FLOORNAME) Skip all the rooms left on this floor and goto the named floor
;Z(forget floor) Forget all the rooms currently on the
current floor. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to rooms that are
subsequently created or moved to this floor. (Sorry.)
If you create a room, it will be placed on the floor that you
are currently on (i.e., the floor that the room that you were in
when you created the new room is associated with).
You do NOT have to use floors. If you choose not to, you suffer
no penalty; you will not lose access to any rooms. You may use .EC
or ;C (the latter is easier to use) to decide if you want to use
floors. Feel free to experiment.
