i H E L P Overview Page 1 of 2 L
The Outbound Manager allows you to easily inspect, modify, and maintain the
directory where mail items are waiting to be sent over the network. The
items that can be seen (and maintained) there are:
o Bundles ........... Messages that are grouped into deliverable bundles.
o File Attach Lists.. Lists of files to sent, created by mail processors.
o Compressed Mail ... Bundles compressed by archivers (sent by attach)
o Marker Files ...... Files that note bad connects or incomplete sends
Mail processors create all of these items when they are run periodically
at prescheduled times or, on demand, when a Sysop manually invokes them.
(continued)

i H E L P Overview (cont) Page 2 of 2 L
Normally, little intervention is needed in the outbound area. However, due
to message misaddressing, the desire to create a quick file attach, or to
monitor the status of any pending mail, the Outbound Manager is used.
When invoked, the Outbound Manager, displays any pending mail destined for
the current zone in a tabular form with one mail item (object) per line
with logically related objects grouped together and sorted by address.
Using the manager's commands, you can readdress or inspect mail bundles,
erase most objects (including marker files), and/or create File Attach or
File Request Lists. Review the command summary for a list of commands.
If you use separately defined outbound areas (zoned directories), you can
display them using the Z)one command.

i H E L P Send or Request Files Page 1 of 3 L
This multiple file transfer screen is used by both the S)end and R)equest
file functions to enter 1-14 files and the 1-14 addresses to send to, or
request them, from. On execution, a separate file send (or request) list
is generated for EACH address that specifies ALL of the entered files.
If needed, change the default priority of the order with the (P) key.
Use (A) to begin entry of the desired list of FidoNet addresses. While
in address entry mode, the "files" column is used to display the system
name of the addresses entered for reference. ESC ends address entry.
If any files had previously been display, they are temporarily cleared.

i H E L P Send or Request Files (cont) Page 2 of 3 L
Use (F) to begin entry of the desired list of files to send or receive.
You can enter 12 chacaters in REQUEST mode and 40 in SEND mode. If the
(A) option was used, any system names are cleared. ESC ends file entry.
When doing REQUESTs, CR on a file field jumps to the password field.
Use (E) to E)xecute the file transfer order. It will prompt you for
confirmation.
While in (A)ddress or (F)ile entry modes, you can use the [Up]/[Down],
[PgUp]/[PgDn], or ^E/^X keys to move up or down a column. Cursoring
out of a field acts like a [CR], finishing the entry. You can leave
some rows empty and they will just be ignored.

i H E L P Send or Request Files (cont) Page 3 of 3 L
After entering a list of addresses, you can save it to a file with the
(S) command. It creates a simple ASCII file with one address per line
in the same format as on screen.
In an opposite fashion, the (L) command loads an external address list
made with either the (S) command or with any text editor.
When switching between (F)ile and (A)ddress modes, the 2nd column shows
either the system name belonging to the addresses or the files entered
thus far. You can switch back and forth between these two modes without
losing anything. (E)xecute or (Q)uit terminates the function.
