- The SYSOP command, which is only executable by users with access level 254
- or 255, allows you to change and maintain various aspects of the bulletin
- board. Sysop displays a prompt with four options:
-
- [M]ail, [O]ptions, [T]extEdit, [E]xtended ?
-
- [M]ail allows you to inquire into the mailbox of a specific user. You
- are prompted for the user's name, after which you are transferred to the
- MAIL command prompt, where you can execute any MAIL operation on the
- specific user's account. Note that if you read a user's mail, the "times
- read" indicator is not incremented.
-
- [O]ptions is similar to [M]ail but it allows you to change and inquire
- into a user's stats and options. In addition to the regular options, you can
- change a user's access levels and time limit with this command.
-
- [T]extedit gives you a way to edit short text files directly using the
- system's text editor. You can edit files up to 250 lines long; notice that
- lines longer than 75 characters are handled by appending a "_" continuation
- character to the end of the line. [T]extedit gives you the option to create
- a new file, too.
-
- [E]xtended is the command that runs the "extended sysop" menu, which
- contains a host of commands relating to BBS maintenance. For a full
- description, run the extended sysop command and use the online help facility
- to get more information.
