CTL-S will pause
Any key will resume
CTL-P will abort


A: Abort message
----------------

Discard the message and return to the main command prompt.

C: Continue message
-------------------

Return to message editor and continue where you left off.
Use this option to return and edit any mistakes you notice
while listing or previewing.

D: Delete line
--------------

Remove entire line from the message.

H: Additional help
------------------

Show this file again.

I: Insert line
--------------

Insert a new line in the message. Line will be inserted at
position specified, remaining lines shifted down by one.

L: List message
---------------

Display message as entered, with no formatting. Line
numbers will be shown. You may specify the starting line
number with "Ln" (e.g. L2 will start with line 2). Type
CTL-P to abort the listing.

N: Section names
----------------

Display the list of sections you can store this message in.
Any sections shown that include a "W" in the access flag
area are available to you. If only one section name is
displayed, then the message must be stored in that section.

P: Preview message
------------------

Display message as it will be seen when read (i.e. in
formatted form). No line numbers will be shown. Optional
width allows you to view message as it will appear to
different size CRTS (e.g. P40 will display the text
formatted for 40 column displays).

R: Replace line
---------------

Retype entire line.

S: Store message
----------------

Store message to disk. You have a number of optional
parameters:

    U    Store unformatted
    P    Store as private
    L    Store as "locked" (SYSOPs only)

If you attempt to store a message as private in a section
where private messages are not allowed, the system will
inform you of your error. Either store the message as open
or store it private in another section.

You can also append a section number to your command as the
very last item. This will store the message in a section
different from your default (or the section of the message
being read, in the case of a reply). For example:

    S    Stores message in default section
    S1   Stores message in section 1
    SP   Stores private message in default section
    SP1  Stores private message in section 1
    SPU  Stores private, unformatted message in default
section
    SU1  Stores unformatted message in section 1
    SPU1 Stores private, unformatted message in section 1

(NOTE: The unformatted option should only be used in the
case of bordered messages or messages that contain columnar
tables that should not get reformatted to the caller's CRT
size.)
