Welcome to the Citadel-86 bulletin board system. Feel free to experiment
with commands you don't understand -- you can't hurt the system...
If you're new to this system and haven't logged in yet, <G>oto the mail
and <R>ead the letter
you'll (hopefully) find there regarding this particular BBS's policy.
The simplest pattern of usage is:
* <L>og in. The system will remember your terminal configuration and which
messages are new since you last visited a room.
* Use <G>oto to find a room with messages you haven't read.
* Use <N>ew messages to read them. Use <J>ump, <N>ext, <P>ause or <S>top to
control typout.
<J>ump will skip to the start of the next paragraph of a message;
<N>ext will skip to the start of the next message;
<P>ause will halt typout until another key is pressed;
<S>top will return immediately to the command prompt.
(These will work any time the system is typing out
something. Now, for instance.)
* You may use <E>nter to add messages to the room.
This <G>oto- <N>ew- <E>nter cycle may be continued until you arrive back
in the Lobby. You don't have to read everything every time; if you miss a room
this call, the contents will still be "new" on your next call.
* Use <T>erminate to leave the system.
* Hidden in the ".Help ?" files are special incantations to do all sorts of
obscure things. But the above sequence covers most normal use.
