  YaBom v1.10              Main Menu                    Help
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

    From the main menu you can set the current domain,
    create file attaches, create file requests, poll
    nodes, edit the V7 nodelist, and add directories.

    When Changing the current domain, YaBom will present
    you with a list of possible outbounds (corresponding
    to ALL the outbound directories you use, not just
    the stubs you defined in YBConfig).  Scrolling through
    and selecting one of these will change the current
    operating domain.

    When creating a file attach you will be asked first
    for the address of the node you wish to send the files,
    then for the mail type you wish to use when sending it,
    and lastly for the filenames to send

    Creating Requests is basically the same, except you
    will not be asked for a mail type.  Also note that
    Requests MUST be accompanied by some other mail type
    before Binkley will send them.  The best idea is to
    build a Poll for the system at the same time as the
    request.

*P

  YaBom v1.10              Main Menu                    Help
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

    When creating a Poll, YaBom will only ask you for the
    address to Poll.  If ANY mail exists for that Poll,
    YaBom will do nothing.  Otherwise it will create an
    empty .CLO file in the outbound area.

    You can create directories for either points or zones.
    You will be asked for net and node or the zone
    respectively.

    The last options are creating progress packets and
    editing nodes.  The first of these allows you to put
    a new progress report for a chosen node in the
    outbound directory (you choose the initial settings).

    The node editor allows you to change fields for a given
    node in the V7 nodelist indexes.

    Exit or ESC will exit the YaBom session.

  YaBom v1.10            Change Domain                  Help
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

    This menu changes the current domain and zone.  YaBom
    always works in a particular zone, so doing anything
    in another zone involves first changing to that zone.

    You are presented with a list of available zones, along
    with their domains.  Simply go through and pick the
    zone/domain pair you wish to use with the arrow keys,
    and press enter to select.  Pressing ESC exits with no
    change.

    Enter the address of the node you wish to send the
    files (using Ctrl-Enter to complete), and then the type
    of packet to use (Crash (or continuous), Hold, Normal or
    Direct.  YaBom will then prompt you for a file mask of
    the files you wish to send.

  YaBom v1.10            Request Files                  Help
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

    Enter the address of the system you wish to request
    files from.  You will be prompted that the system
    name and address is correct after entered.  Then just
    enter the names of the files you wish to request from
    the system one by one.

    Placing a "!password" after the name will create a
    passworded request, i.e. the name :

    files !mypass

*P

  YaBom v1.10            Request Files                  Help

    will tell Binkley to request the file "files" with
    password "mypass".

    To end the name query, simply press return at a blank
    file name.  Pressing ESC at any point in the process
    will stop the request at that point (Though any files
    already entered will have been requested).

  YaBom v1.10              Poll Node                    Help
  ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

    Simply give the address of the node you wish to poll.
    You will be told the name of the sysop and board the
    address belongs to (if one exists) and asked if it
    is correct.  If you type 'Y', YaBom will build a crash
    empty file attach message for that node, IF NO OTHER
    MAIL EXISTS.  Typeing 'N' cancels the operation, and
    hitting Esc at any point cancels, with no operation
    performed.

    If the Address given is not nodelisted, you will be
    asked to confirm the address given is the one you
    want

    You are currently at the address entry page.  The zone
    and domain you are working under are displayed, and
    may not be edited.  Otherwise, you must choose the
    address you want to perform the function on using the
    three fields.  (If they are already correct, press
    Ctrl-Enter to accept them immediately).

    If you want to choose the address interactively, press
    F2 to bring up a list of nets in the current zone

    Choose the Net for the address you wish to operate on,
    using the up/down/PgUp and PgDn keys to scroll through
    the selection.  Upon hitting enter on a network, you
    will be presented with a list of nodes in that net.
    Choose a node as you did for the nets, and if the node
    has any points defined in the nodelist, they will then
    be presented to you.

    Upon choosing the address you want, YaBom will prompt you
    to make sure it was the one you wanted and then continue
    the operation.

    failed).  For the both, simply enter the number you wish

    Note that this is one of the only places YaBom allows
    you to specify the zone and domain.  You can move mail
    between zones/domains using this command, but the domain

    "fodonet", not "fidonet.org".
