Help File #1
------------
This MSO software was written by N2IZB in BASIC for use with the PK-232 mutli
mode data controller on IBM or compatable computers. This is a very pre-
liminary version of the MSO232 software, as BASIC is not a very good language
for this type of application.
There are only a few command, and are basically self explanatory. Here is some
help is you need it.
.HELP Gives you a list of commands.
.EXIT Logs you out of the MSO.
.DIR Gives you a list of messages/files on the disk. The . and .. files cannot
be viewed.
.READ (file) lets you read a message/file. The (file) name can only contain
numbers and letters and connot be more then 8 charaters long.
Example: .READ HELP1
.WRITE (file) lets you write a message/file. Again, the (file) name can only
contain letters and numbers and connot be more than 8 charaters
long. If you are sending mail to another user, form the (file)
name like this: A message from N2IZB to W1AW would look like
this: 1AW-IZB. ** Do not use the - symbol any other time **
To start a message send the MSO the .WRITE (file) command and
hit CR/LF. DO NOT drop carrier, start your message now. When
you are done entering your message, type .END
Example:
.WRITE TEST
This is a test.
.END
At this point, drop carrier and the system will put you back at
the main menu.
.END Ends a message/file. Use the .WRITE command, and when you are finished
with your message, type the .END command.
.ABORT Aborts a message/file. If you use the .WRITE command, and do not want
to save the file you have started, type this on a blank line.
.RYS will send you a string of RY's for tuning purposes. Always be tuned as
close as possible to the MSO's transmitter frequency.
.TALK Will page the SysOp to chat.
Please enjoy the system. Always make sure the frequency is not in use before
logging into the MSO.
Thank you,
Keith N2IZB
