║ CHAPTER TEN ANNEX D BUFFER OPERATION & USE ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
In order to accommodate larger memo sizes VBBS uses a disk
file buffer in the format Bx.TMP, where x is the channel number
that the user is on. This file is stored in the \VBBS dir. The
commands used to access the buffer are listed below.
BUFFER APPEND -> BUFFER APPEND <string1>
This adds <string1> to the present buffer.
BUFFER CLEAR <---
This erases the contents of the present buffer.
BUFFER EDIT <---
This command loads up the user's selected editor and puts
the current contents of the buffer into it. Note: When using
the full-screen editor the user can edit, add, or clear the
buffer. The line editor will only allow you to add lines to
the current buffer or clear it. The user can clear the buffer
by aborting out of either editor.
BUFFER LIST <---
This prints the current buffer contents to the screen. If
the user is in ASCII mode then heart-code ANSI is not shown on
screen but remains within the buffer file.
