(E)nter a Message
 -----------------

 Subcommands:  NONE

 Description:  Allows leaving a message to another person for them to read
               at a later date.

 Full Screen
 Editor:       After selecting (E), you will be asked if you want to use the
               Full Screen Editor.  To use the Full Screen Editor your
               software must be capable of interpreting ANSI cursor position
               commands.  The default answer to the question will be NO if
               the system did not detect ANSI on your end or if you are in
               novice mode.

 Addressing
 the Message:  Then you will be prompted to enter the name of the person the
               message is being addressed to.  If the system operator has
               enabled message name verification on this system, the name
               entered will be checked against all names in the user's file
               to insure a proper match.  If the user's name is not found, or
               the user is not registered in the same conference or board
               area where the message is being left, you will be advised of
               such to avoid leaving a message to a non-existent individual.
               However, a SOUNDEX search to locate a name that sounds like
               what you entered can be performed or you can override the
               verification and answer (C) to continue and use the name that
               you have entered which might be done to facilitate leaving a
               message to a group of people.  By not entering a username at
               the "To:" prompt, it will automatically address the message to
               "ALL".

               Brackets will be displayed either above the line or
               surrounding the area on the screen in which you are allowed
               to enter text.

 Entering a
 Subject:      Next, up to a 25 character subject must be entered.  If
               no subject is entered you will be returned to the main menu
               and command line prompt.

 Message
 Security:     A security prompt will next appear looking something like
               this:

                  Security:  (G)roup, (R)eceiver, (S)ender, (H)elp, (N)one

                  (N)one means that the message will be open for all to read.

                  (G)roup allows assigning a password to the message which
                     only other callers who know the common password will be
                     allowed to read the message.

                  (R)eceiver makes the message private to all except you -
                     the person leaving it - and the person to whom it is
                     addressed.

                  (S)ender allows you to assign a password to the message so
                     that only you can kill it later.  This prevents the
                     other person to whom the message is addressed from
                     killing it.

               Note that you can NOT assign (R)eceiver protection to a
               message which has been addressed to ALL.

 All Messages
 Private?      A message base can be set up such that all messages are
               initially flagged as private.  In this case the above security
               prompt is skipped and the message will be saved using
               (R)eceiver security so that only you and the person to
               whom the message is addressed can read it.

 Entering a
 Message:      After completing the above steps, you can enter your text.
               Each line you enter will be preceeded by it's line number.  Up
               to 72 characters per line is allowed.  Typing beyond the 72
               character limit will cause your text to automatically
               "word-wrap" down to the next line.

 Exiting the
 Editor:       There are two modes in which text can be entered which you
               will have already chosen by the time you get to the editor.
               One of them is the Line Editor mode where only one line at a
               time can be entered or edited and the other is Full Screen
               Editor mode in which the entire screen is used as the
               workspace for message entry.

               To exit the Line Editor, press (Enter) alone on a blank line.
               To exit the Full Screen Editor, press (ESC) or (Ctrl-U).

               After you exit the Line Editor or the Full Screen Editor you
               will be prompted for message completion subcommands as
               described below:


 Message Completion Subcommands
 ------------------------------

 A)brt,C)ont,D)el,E)dit,F)ullScr,H)elp,I)nsert,L)ist,Q)uote,S)ave,U)pldMsg

               (A)brt abandons or cancels your message entry.
               (C)ont allows you to continue using the Line Editor.
               (D)el allows you to delete a line of text from the message.
               (E)dit allows you to edit a line of text.
               (F)ull allows you to continue using the Full Screen Editor.
               (H)elp displays this Help file.
               (I)nsert allows inserting a line of text in front of another.
               (L)ist relists your text entry so far to the screen.
               (Q)uote allows you to quote a portion of the replied-to
                  message.
               (S)ave actually writes the message to disk.
               (U)pld allows you to upload ASCII text without echo.
               (SC) allows saving the same message to another individual.
               (SK) save your message, kill replied to message
                   (if applicable)
               (SN) save your message, skip redisplay of replied to message

               Note: The format to (E)dit a line of text is:

                   old text;new text

               where the "old text" is the text you wish to replace, followed
               by a ";" followed by the new text.  The old text search is
               case sensitive - so capital letters must match exactly.  If
               your new text causes that line to exceed 72 characters, the
               characters beyond 72 will be truncated from the line.

 When "uploading" Ascii text to the message base, insure your text lines are
 72 characters or less in length.

 Note:  while in the full screen editor you can press CTRL-Z to get help on
 the editing keys available in the full screen editor.
