N)ew: You can use the "N" command to identify files that have been added
to RBBS-PC since a given date, or since the last time you logged on.
You will be prompted for a date after you give the "N" command. Enter
the desired date in numerical format with no characters separating the
month, day, and year. For example, "032086" would list files included on
the system since March 20, 1986. Press [ENTER] at the date prompt to use
the date you last logged onto the system.
Next, you will be asked for a directory to scan. Type in their name(s)
or number(s) separated by semicolons. You can scan all of the
directories on the system by typing "ALL" at the prompt. Pressing
[ENTER] will return you to the Files Menu.
TIPS:
1. You can obtain a list of directory names and numbers by giving the
"L" command.
2. Using "ALL" may result in a time consuming search if the RBBS-PC
system contains many files. You can save time by searching specific
directories.
3. You can stack the N)ew command with the desired date and category.
That is, you can enter "N;MMDDYY" (e.g., "N;032086") directly from the
Files Menu. You would then be asked for the directory you would like
to scan. You can also pre-specify the categories to see. For example,
"N;032086;COMM;UTIL" lists are files on or after 03-20-86 in directories
COMM and UTIL.
