-
- \z4\c7DESCRIPTION:\q1 You have the ability to Join and Drop message and file
- areas from your personal list. This list is used when you do
- global new scans (SA-Scan ALL), or global new reads (RA-Read
- All). After entering one of these commands, the system will
- go through and enter each area you have joined. Once entered,
- the system will check to see if anything new was posted or
- uploaded to this area, if so, will display the item to you
- respectively. Keep in mind, the new scan/read will start
- from the current directory you are in, thus allowing you to
- limit your scans/reads to a certain directory.
- To Join or Drop an area:
-
- While in a Directory "<DIR> prompt:" - Type Jx or DRx where
- x = the area you wish to Join or Drop.
-
- In a specific area, type J or DR alone. This will automatically
- use the current area number as a valid range.
