Press...

  "?" for menus and help                CTRL-S to pause listings
  Keys within "<>" for commands         CTRL-C to cancel listings

The number at the first of each system prompt is your access time remaining.

:S - printed for unvalidated users trying to send (download) a file
     Sorry, but you are only allowed to send (download) files from
     the "LOGIN" file area. This is because you are either an
     Unvalidated user, or the Sysop has decided to turn your download
     privileges off. If you are an Unvalidated user, please try again
     when you see that you have been validated by the Sysop.

:A - printed when name not found
If  you are an old user,  you may answer  "N" to the following question to try
again.  If you desire full privileges on this system, you will need to request
validation. To become validated,  just leave me a message saying that you want
to become a validated user.

If you started your login process with a "handle",  please answer "N" and
login again with your real name. "Handles" are not allowed on this system.
:R - printed before asking if user wants to use remote editor
   TPBoard's full screen editor requires that you be using an IBM compatible
computer,  and that you have your terminal program in it's ANSI BBS terminal 
mode. It uses the standard Word Star commands. 

    It will allow you to use ALL of your function and cursor control keys if
your terminal program has a "Doorway mode". If you do have a "Doorway mode", 
toggle it ON when  using the editor,  and OFF when done.  If you want to use 
the full screen editor, answer yes to the following question.
:D - printed for unvalidated users
   Since you are not a validated user, you can only leave messages
to the sysop. If you request validation, I will attempt to upgrade
your status within one week.
:H - printed for fido-net message entry when not allowed
   Sorry, but you are not authorized send non-local mail through
Fido-Net. To obtain authorization, you must first obtain  credit
of at least  $5.00.  After receipt of your payment,  you will be
allowed to enter messages until you deplete your account.
:I - printed to new users and on "I" request
   This board's database (206 meg) is for those  running MS-DOS.
It supports file transfers using the Xmodem, Ymodem G and Zmodem
protocols.  If your terminal program supports Zmodem,  I suggest
using it.  It is the fastest  and most  robust transfer protocol
available.

   The  operator of this system assumes no responsibility for the
information contained in and/or distributed via this board.  This
is  an  open-access communications system and is  provided  as  a
public service to the community.

   All  messages and files which are placed on this board are the
responsibility  of the contributor.  Only public domain  software
and  messages  relating  to public access  systems  and  computer
hobbyists are allowed to remain on-line.

   All  messages addressed as public can be read by  anyone,  and
any  message  left  as private can be read  by  the  sender,  the
receiver,  and the SysOp. If you do not like these policies, then
DO NOT leave any messages.
:P - printed for forgetful users
Since you have exceeded the number of attempts allowed to enter your password
correctly,  you will be given the opportunity to leave a message and then the
system will disconnect.
