   @C6Reading messages on the system is accomplished by typing @HREAD@R@C6 followed by a few optional parameters at the main command prompt.

   To read messages, you must first access the base you want to read them on. Type @HDIR@R@C6 at the main command prompt to get a list of the available bases.  Each base has a BaseTag (type @C3HELP DIR@C6 for further information) which you must use in the @C3GO@C6 command.  Type @HGO BT@R@C6 (where @C3BT@C6 is the basetag of the base you want to go to.  For example:@R

>@C2@HGO GD @R <return>

@C6...would take you to the base, "@C3General Discussion@C6", basetag [GD]. Then, simply type @HREAD@R@C6 to begin reading all new messages, since your last login.  Simpler methods and a variety of options can be found by typing @HHELP READ@R@C6 at a main menu prompt.@R

>@C2@HMAIL@R@C3 [user]@R <return>

   @C6To send mail to another user, just type @HMAIL@R@C6 followed by the full system name of the user you want to send mail to.  From the system command prompt this would be done by entering, for instance:@R

>@H@C2MAIL JOHN SMITH@R@C6

Alternately, from the base command line@R

+-=?#/FBQPEDRWCM >@C6

...pressing the letter @HM@R@C6 will allow you to send mail to any user without having to drop to a main prompt.  Pressing the letter @HR@R@C6 will allow you to send a @HREPLY@R@C6 specifically to the user whose post you've just read on a base.  This option does @Hnot@R@C6 prompt you for a name - your message will go directly to the person who wrote the post.  If are the poster of the message, you will be told so by the system.@R

>@H@C2CONFIG@R <return>

   @C6At the main command prompt, type @HCONFIG@R@C6 to enter the Configuration Screen.  The exact same questions you saw when you logged on for the very first time will be displayed, with the addition of two more questions which will allow you to set 'expert' mode and change your password.  You may change these as you desire.  If you need further help, contact the System Operator via E-Mail, or Feedback.

   For more information on Emulation (#6 in the Configuration Screen), type @C3HELP EMULATE@C6 at the system prompt.  If you are a Macintosh user, type @C3HELP MAC-USER@C6 for some useful tips and techniques to get the most out of your Mac.@R

   @C6At the main command prompt, type @HDL@R@C6 to enter the downloader. From there, type a @H?@R@C6 to get further help.  The downloader supports both @HX-Modem@R@C6 and @HAscii@R@C6 transfers.  More information is available by typing @HHELP DL@R@C6.  @C1@HNote@R@C6: Do not press <return> after typing in one of the single-letter options of the downloader.@R

>@C2@HUL@R <return>

   @C6At the main command prompt, type @HUL@R@C6 to enter the uploader.  Enter a name for the file you're uploading when asked.  Filenames @Hmust@R@C6 follow the IBM convention of 8 characters followed by an optional period and an optional extension of 3 more characters.  This is required since this software operates on an IBM type computer.  At this point the upload process itself will begin.

   When the upload is complete, you will be asked whether the upload is a @HTEXT@R@C6 or @HBINARY@R@C6 file.  If it is an ASCII Text File (a file that contains @Honly@R@C6 alphanumeric characters) enter @HT@R@C6.  For all other files, requiring an X-modem Download, enter @HB@R@C6.  Now you will be asked for the type of computer the file can be used on.  Type @C3ALL@C6 only if it is a general purpose file that's not specific to a particular computer.

   Finally, you will be asked to enter a brief description of the upload.  Once complete, you will be allowed 4 more lines of text to describe the file in much greater detail.@R
