 (Y)our Mail Check
 -----------------

 Subcommands:  (A) (S) (NS) (+) (-) (C)

               (A)  scans all message bases
               (S)  scans only for mail left since the last message read
               (C)  limits scan to current message base only
               (+)  or (-) forces the direction of the scan
               (Q)  display in Quick Scan format
               (L)  display in Long Scan format
               (NS) displays text output in non-stop mode

 Description:  Allows checking for mail left to you or from you in a message
               base.  The above commands can be entered in combination on the
               same line to limit the scan function as desired.  The default
               for the (Y) command is to scan the current message base only,
               in reverse direction, checking for mail left by you as well
               as for mail addressed to you and to scan the complete message
               base, from the end of the file to the beginning.

               You can select which areas you want to be scanned when using
               the (A) subcommand by typing SELECT or by using the
               (W)rite User Info command.

 Quick Scan:   The Quick Scan format provides a display that looks something
               like this:
