To broadcast a message to a single user or view connection information about that user, highlight the desired username and press the SELECT key.

DRIVE ALREADY IN USE HELP
The specified drive is already in use. Search drives are not listed here, but they also take up drive letters. Search drive letters are allocated beginning with "Z" and progressing towards "A." Try again and pick a drive letter closer to "A."
To change the specified drive's directory mapping, use the MODIFY key.
Page 1 of 1
DELETE CURRENT DRIVE HELP
The currently selected default drive may not be deleted. Doing so would leave no valid drive when you exit back to DOS.
If you really want to delete this drive, first select another drive as the current default drive.
Page 1 of 1
DELETE LOCAL DRIVE HELP
A local drive which has not been remapped to a network directory may not be deleted. If a local drive has been remapped to a network directory, deleting the network drive mapping restores the original local mapping.
Page 1 of 1
DRIVE INFORMATION HELP
If the highlighted drive is mapped to a network directory, your effective rights in that directory are listed. If the highlighted drive is mapped to a local directory, no effective rights are displayed.

Page 1 of 1
BAD PATH SYNTAX HELP
The format of the DOS environment PATH variable was unacceptable. Network drives should be specified as a drive letter followed by a colon and a period (for example, "G:."). Local drives should be specified as a drive letter followed by a colon and a complete path specification (for example, "A:\DOS\NEW"). Multiple path specifications should be separated by semicolons. The PATH should contain no spaces.
To repair the PATH variable, first exit to DOS and then use the PATH command to remove the incorrect path specification.
Page 1 of 1
BAD DRIVE IN PATH HELP
One of the drives specified in the DOS environment PATH variable was invalid. Further processing of the search drive mappings is not possible.
Exit to DOS and remove the bad drive letter using the PATH command.

MAX SEARCH DRIVES HELP
At most, 16 search paths may be specified. You must first delete one or more search paths before adding another.

ALL DRIVES IN USE HELP
All drive letters, A through Z, are currently in use. Either modify a previously used drive letter to point to the desired directory, or delete a drive mapping before inserting a new one.
Page 1 of 1
