- MOVING AROUND GENIE
-
- If you want, you can use GEnie's menus to move from product to
- product. However, there are a couple of quicker (as in saving you
- time and money quicker) and easier ways to get around.
-
-
- USING PAGE NUMBERS
-
- The first is with the MOVE command. Every major menu in the GEnie
- system has a page number. To move from one page to another, use the
- MOVE command with the appropriate page number. You can use the MOVE
- command whenever you are at the prompt, "Enter #, <P>revious, or
- <H>elp?" For example, to move to page 200 (which is the GE Mail
- menu), you would type:
-
- M 200
-
- You can even go one step more, and further detail the location you
- want to move to within a menu. To do this, you add the menu item
- number after the page number (separated by a colon or semicolon). For
- example, if you wanted to move to page 200, item 9 ("GE Mail Command
- Mode"), you would type:
-
- M 200;9
-
- The move command can be modified by adding "S" at the end of the item
- number. This tells the system to scroll through the text without
- prompting (otherwise, the display would pause each time the screen was
- full and you would have to tell it to proceed).
-
- This is useful if you are capturing the information and are not
- interested in reading while its scrolling across the screen.
-
-
- USING KEYWORDS
-
- Another way to move about is by using Keywords. Keywords are words
- which can be used to move from menu to menu. Every major menu has a
- keyword centered at the top of the page. If you look at GEnie's main,
- Top Menu, you will see the keyword for that page is "TOP". For
- example, the keyword for moving to the menu for GE Mail is "MAIL".
-
- You can use a keyword whenever you are at the prompt:
-
- "Enter #, <P>revious, or <H>elp?"
-
- For example, to move to the CHAT menu, you would type:
-
- CHAT
-
- əəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəə
