00000: This is XBBS.TXT, where almost all of the text spewed forth by XBBS comes from. You can, and should, edit this file to personalize (or at least render less irritating than this one, which is mine). Just use a text editor (not word processor) like QEdit and hack away (check in XBBS_???.DOC under INDEXER.COM for some more info). I've tried to note most of the fields in this file by putting comments beside the number of the prompt. Not all the help prompts are filled in (see way down toward the bottom of the file). 00001: >>Stuff by the numbers, like this, is a comment<< Sorry, no help available on that topic.

It can be different on various computers, so this help will be a little vague...you'll probably find more help in your terminal's documentation or help screens. Keep in mind, though, that the better the protocol, the easier the upload! ZModem is probably the best; XModem is the worst. XModem CRC is better than XModem CheckSum. If all your terminal has is XModem, it's probably time to find a decent terminal program... Basically, you select a protocol that your terminal has available, enter the name of the file you want to send, then when XBBS tells you to go to SEND mode, start sending the file. You might remember that this is an MS-DOS system, so filenames should be in accordance with MS-DOS conventions (up to 8 characters, a period, and up to 3 more characters). You will not receive credit for uploads for which you gave the wrong name (and, in fact, they may well be refused completely). Please do -not- send games unless they are something extremely special. Do not send crap. You will not be credited for it. If you don't know what crap is, ask the sysop. 00432: Download help Downloading is pretty simple. First, you'll need to select a protocol to use. Some protocols are better than others; if you have ZModem, I'd use that. XModem Checksum is the -last- thing to pick. Check your terminal help or documents to see which protocols you have available and pick one of those. Next, you'll enter a filename (in most cases). If XBBS tells you that Wildcards are acceptable, it means the protocol you've chosen can receive more than one file in a session. Wildcards are the ? and * characters. If you don't know how wildcards work, you should avoid them until you've looked it up in your DOS manual. After selecting a protocol and filename, XBBS will tell you to go to RECEIVE mode. Remember, when you are downloading, you are receiving a file from me. Activate the appropriate protocol on your terminal and it should become automatic. 00433: Unknown automatic mode requested: '%c' 00434: Commands for After-msg-read.

Use your left and right cursor keys or numeric keypad (NUMLOCK can be on or off, but turn it on if your cursor keys are giving you trouble and use 4 and 6 for left and right) to change the highlighted selection on the top bar. When what you want is highlighted, press the down arrow (or 2, or [Enter]) to pulldown the options under that selection. Note that options with ... trailing lead to totally different menus, by convention. Now, with the pulldown in place, use your up and down cursor keys (or 8 and 2) to highlight what you want to do, then press [Enter]. The left and right arrows at this point will cause the pulldown to vanish and move to the previous or next option. At any time you can "shortcut" and press the first letter of an option. In other words, it works about like your local software that uses pulldown menus works. If you aren't using the pulldowns, what you see is a basic tree-structured menu. Picking one of the primary options (Msgs, Files, Utils, etc.) leads to another set of subchoices (Read, Write, Download, etc.). You select options by entering the first letter of the option you desire. 00703: Advise area at Xijit2's d/l Current area: *$ 00704: Advise area at Xijit2's u/l Current area: *$ 00705: Advise area at Xijit2's arcview Current area: *$ 00706: Advise area everywhere else in Xijit2 Current area: *$ 00707: Advise msg area at Xijit2's write message Current area: ** 00708: send? -> ; 00709: receive? -> ; 00710: Building filelist... 00711: Auto-response to chat... |Enter your reason for requesting chat:| -> ; 00712: Sysop available Hold still, paging the sysop...
