\S

information is self-explantory. As initially set by the SYStem¨
OPerator, "Credit" is the amount of credit, that you currently¨
have.

When you enter FidoNet messages, your "Credit" is charged for¨
each message you enter. Further help is available within the¨
MESSAGE SECTION.

\C
C)hange. Provides a menu of commands with which you can change¨
your Name, Address, Password, and terminal settings. 

When you log on, Fido assumes that your screen has 24 lines and¨
80 columns.

\P
P)age. Alerts the SYStem OPerator (SYSOP), who could possibly be¨
within "earshot" of the computer on which Fido is running, that¨
you desire attention. If the operator is available, he or she can¨
"chat" via the local keyboard with you, and even operate Fido as¨
if you were typing. 

Paging is usually restricted to certain hours; if the SYSOP ¨
isn't available, you should get a listing of the hours when he or¨
she is available. 

\L
L)ist-Callers. Displays the database of callers who have logged ¨
into this Fido system. The callers are displayed, by default, in¨
the chronological order of their first log-in.

However, the SYStem OPerator may choose to change the order in¨
which callers are displayed.

Instead of listing all names in the system, you can specify a ¨
partial match; for example entering "TON" at the List-Callers ¨
prompt will cause only names like "Anthony", "Anton", etc. to be¨
displayed.

\A

then fill it out line by line. Each questionnaire is unique and¨
created by the SYStem OPerator.

\V
V)ersion. Displays the Fido/FidoNet program version.

\O
O)utside. Access to this command is "System Dependent", usually¨
based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being provided¨
with access to this command, the caller must be instructed in the¨
capabilities of this command and the responsibilities which are¨
associated with this command.

\E
E)xit-to-DOS. Access to this command is "System Dependent", ¨
usually based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being¨
provided with access to this command, the caller must be¨
instructed in the capabilities of this command and the ¨
responsibilities which are associated with this command.

\G
G)oodbye: Log-off of Fido. Depending upon the implementation of¨
Fido on this system, you may be prompted to optionally enter a¨
Private message to the SYSOP before you are logged off. After¨
log-off, you will be disconnected.

It is safe to "Hang Up" on Fido; it is never harmful.
