  21. !    In CS-COMMO.CSM, you may need to edit lines that have a "!"
  22.      in the first column.  These lines deal with keyboard assignments,
  23.      external protocol definitions, and Shifted F-key dialing
  24.      assignments for some BBSs that I have in my .FON.
  25.  
  26.      All "editing required" lines are grouped near the end of CS-COMMO.CSM
  27.      to provide easiest installation and upgrading.
  28.  
  29.      CS-MAC provides an automated mail and file fetchin' Commo environment.
  30.      This automation is accomplished with several linked macros.
  31.  
  32.      COMMO.FON links to CS-COMMO.CSM       with a linked macro label.
  33.      CS-COMMO.CSM links to CS-TABLE.CSM    for MailWare and BBSWare responses.
  34.      CS-TABLE.CSM links to CS-LOGON.CSM    A generic logon occurs.  If the
  35.                                            macro label has an ACTION file
  36.                                            associated with it .....
  37.      CS-LOGON.CSM links to CS-ACTON.CSM    for file transfers.  After file
  38.                                            transfers are complete ....
  39.      CS-ACTON.CSM returns to CS-LOGON.CSM  for a MAILRUN.  After logoff,
  40.      CS-LOGON.CSM returns to CS-COMMO.CSM  and dials the next marked entry.
  41.  
  42.      In pictures, the sequence looks something like this .......
