RECEIVING YOUR MESSAGES ON AMTOR
THE QUICKEST AND SIMPLEST WAY TO RECEIVE YOUR MESSAGES IS TO GIVE
THE 'RN' (MEANING 'READ NEW') COMMAND AS SOON AS YOU SIGN ON. ALL
MESSAGES IN THE SYSTEM NOT ALREADY MARKED 'FORWARDED' WILL BE
TRANSMITTED TO YOU AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION ON YOUR
PART. AS EACH MESSAGE IS COMPLETELY FORWARDED TO YOU IT IS MARKED
'FORWARDED' AND WILL NOT BE TRANSMITTED AGAIN WITH THIS COMMAND.
(YOU MAY READ IT AGAIN WITH THE 'R (NUMBER)' COMMAND.
IF YOU ARE RECEIVING AN UNFORWARDED MESSAGE AND THE LINK IS LOST
IT WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE 'RN' COMMAND.
IF YOU HAVE LOGGED INTO THE SYSTEM WITH YOUR AUTOMATIC ANSWERBACK
THEN THE SYSTEM WILL MARK YOUR MESSAGES 'FORWARDED' ONLY AFTER IT
TRIGGERS YOUR ANSWERBACK AT THE END OF EACH MESSAGE.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO (IN FACT, CANNOT) DELETE A MESSAGE. ONCE IT IS
FORWARDED THE SYSTEM WILL DELETE IT 24 OR MORE HOURS LATER. IN THE
MEANTIME IT MAY BE READ AGAIN USING THE 'R (NUMBER)' COMMAND.
USE THE LIST COMMANDS TO SEE WHAT MESSAGES ARE AVAILABLE.
