@X0FDescription:  @X0BAllows searching the messages on the system to find messages
@X0F              @X0Bthat match the search criteria that you provide.

@X0FExamples:

@X0F  * @X0CTS A 1+@X0F <enter>
@X0F    @X0CPCBoard & LANtastic@X0F <enter>

@X0F    @X0BThe above commands will search thru every available message in ALL
@X0F    @X0Bconferences areas you are set to scan for any message that has both
@X0F    @X0Bthe word "PCBoard" AND the word "LANtastic" in it.

@X0F  * @X0CTS A 1+@X0F <enter>
@X0F    @X0CPCBoard & (LANtastic | DESQview)@X0F <enter>

@X0F    @X0BThe above commands will search thru every available message in ALL
@X0F    @X0Bconferences areas you are set to scan for any message that has both
@X0F    @X0Bthe word "PCBoard" AND either the word "LANtastic" OR the word
@X0F    @X0B"DESQview" in it.

@X0F    @X0BThe parenthesis tell PCBoard how you want to group your criteria if
@X0F    @X0Byou have a complex search request such as the one above.  It will
@X0F    @X0Ballow for nearly any number of parens and any combination of AND's
@X0F    @X0B(using the "&" character) and OR's (using the "|" character).

@X0F  * @X0CTS A 1+ USER JOHN DOE@X0F <enter>
@X0F    @X0CPCBoard & Help@X0F <enter>

@X0B    The above command (similar to examples above) adds the keyword USER
@X0B    to the command line specifying that only messages that are either
@X0B    TO or FROM John Doe should be displayed if they are found to have
@X0B    both the words PCBoard and Help in them.
