R)ead mail..................Selecting this command will prompt you to enter
a message number to start the mail reading
sequence from. Choosing enter will take you back
to the first public message that you are eligible
to read, and from thereon take you message by
message thru the mail.
E)nter new mail.............Selecting this menu command will allow you to
leave a new message to someone on the system. You
will be asked who it is to, what the subject is,
and if it is a Private message. Once you have
confirmed that the system has the correct
information, the screen will clear so that you can
enter the text of the message. Using <ESC> will
stop the editor and ask if you want to save the
message.
N)ew personal mail..........If you were notified that you had New Mail waiting
when you logged on, and did not read it then, you
can use this menu command to read your new mail.
M)ail Search................Will present you with another prompt that allows
you to search through all messages for a specific
addressee, sender or subject.
C)omment to Sysop...........Will allow you to enter a message to the sysop.
This message will be marked as Private, with a
subject of "User Comment" automatically. Using
this menu item is easier if you just want to make
a quick comment to the sysop.
L)ocate a user..............Selecting this menu item will allow you to
search the system records for another user.
Depending upon how the sysop has the system set
up, you may be able to scan a list of all users
of the system, and/or search for a user by name.

D)ownload File(s)...........Will prompt you for the files you wish to download,
including extensions, as well as the transfer
protocol you wish to use (if you have not set a
default transfer protocol). Downloads from GHOST
using the Zmodem transfer protocol may be a
batch transfer of up to whatever number of files
the sysop has designated for the maximum.
U)pload a file..............Will prompt you for the name of your file to
upload, including extension, as well as the
transfer protocol you wish to use (if you have
not set a default transfer protocol). Once you
inform GHOST of which file you wish to upload,
you will be switched to Mail to leave a
description (private, to the sysop) of the file
that you are uploading. Once you have entered
and saved that description, you will be prompted
to begin your transfer.
F)iles Listing..............Depending on your access level, this menu item will
display a list of the files available for
downloading from the system in various formatted
listings.
T)ransfer Protocol..........Selecting this command will bring up the transfer
protocol menu, from which you may select a default
file transfer protocol. When you first log on to
the system, your default is set to none, and the
system will prompt you on each file transfer for
the protocol to use. If you have selected a
default, and decide that you would rather be
prompted each time, pressing <Enter> instead of
choosing a protocol will set your default to none.

│ A NOTE ABOUT ACCESS LEVELS │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
All users for their first time logging onto the board will have a limited
access level, allowing you only to do a few of the above functions. Once
your registration information has been confirmed and verified, we will
automatically increase your access level to normal user, usually, within
two days. You will notice the change in the log on message, telling you
that your user status is no longer * New User * or * Limited User *, but
* Validated User *. This will give you standard level access, permitting
downloading, uploading etc.... There is also an Advanced User Access level
permitting nearly unlimited access to areas of the BBS. Only the sysop(s),
current staff, or associates will be given this access level.
Thank-you
