- In this section we will cover the bulletin subsystem. Bulletins are text files
- that provide you with timely information about a variety of topics. These may
- include instructions for new users, upcoming events, and other material that
- the SYSOP would like to bring to your attention. Bulletins may be read at the
- time of log on, or at any time using the "B" command.
-
- When you enter the "B" command, the following prompt will appear:
-
- Read what bulletin(s), L)ist, N)ew, (ENTER=none)?
-
- Entering "N" will display any new bulletins posted by the SYSOP since the last
- time you logged on.
-
- Entering "L" will list all of the bulletins available.
-
- You can read a single bulletin by entering its number, or read a series of
- bulletins by entering each number separated by a semicolon. For example,
- entering {C41;3;7 {C0will display bulletins 1, 3 and 7.

- You can also "stack" bulletin commands. For example, if you enter {C4B;3;5 {C0at
- the main menu prompt, the system will enter the bulletin subsystem and display
- bulletins 3 and 5.
-
- As you use the bulletin subsystem, there are a couple of points to keep in
- mind:
-
- 1. You may find it useful to capture bulletins to disk on your personal
- computer for later viewing. "Capture to disk" is a valuable feature
- available on many communications programs (e.g., Qmodem, Crosstalk).
-
- 2. Some SYSOPs make their bulletins available on the Files System for
- downloading.
-
- This concludes the Bulletin Subsystem Tutorial. Please feel free to address any
- questions concerning bulletins to the Sysop
