i┬±pôUPΘ █!╕#%'╦'æ(2)K*-+/50√05Welcome to Pegasus Mail, a simple mail facility for use with
Novell Networks.

You are currently at the main menu: select a choice from this
menu by using the <Up> and <Down> arrow keys to move the
reverse-video bar, then press <Enter>.

In brief, the available choices at this point are:

N:  Read new mail messages: this option only appears if you 
    have received mail messages, but have not yet read them.
    When you select it, you will be presented with a list 
    of unread messages.

S:  Send a mail message: when you select this option, the 
    screen will change to a message editing screen. Enter
    the user, or list of users to whom you want to send a 
    message, then type the message. When you have finished,
    press <Ctrl-Enter>.

F:  Send a file via mail: a window will open listing asking
     you for a recipient, or list of recipients, a subject,
     and a filename. While in the filename field, you can
     expand filenames by pressing <Tab>.

M:  Select a mail folder: you can create mail folders into
    which messages can be moved for storage. When you select
    this option, a list of all existing folders will be 
    displayed - choose the one you want to use, and press
    <Enter>. This screen also gives you the option of making
    new folders and deleting existing ones.

B:  Browse mail messages: use this option to look at messages
    you've already read and filed.

Q:  Quit using mail: select this when you have finished using
    Pegasus mail, and you will return to DOS.
Entering addresses for users:

You should enter the usercode of the user to receive the message: if
you are unsure of the usercode, you can get a list of usercodes by
pressing <F2>. You may enter more than one usercode, provided you
separate them with spaces or commas.

You can send mail to a user on another server by placing the server
name followed by a '/' before the usercode: Pegasus Mail will attempt
to login to the server and deliver the message.

You can read the names of addressees from a file by placing a '@'
sign in front of the name of the file. Each usercode should be on a
separate line in the file.

If you have privilege, you can send a message to all members of a 
user group, by placing a '#' sign in front of the groupname.
Subject:

The subject is a one-line précis of the contents of the message which
is displayed on the browse list. You may enter anything on this line,
or you can leave it blank.
Folder name:

The folder name is actually the name of a subdirectory in your
mail directory on the file server, and as such, you must choose
your names with some care.

Folder names must be 1-8 characters in length, and may contain
only the letters A to Z, and the numbers 0 to 9. Do not use any
spaces, tabs, punctuation, or special characters.
Personal name:

Your personal profile contains information about the way you
use Pegasus Mail.

Your personal name is a name appended to your usercode in messages
sent by you to other users, to make it easier for them to work out
who you are. You may put anything you like in this field, but you
should keep it meaningful if it is to be useful.
File to send:

Enter the name (including a full path, if necessary) to the
file you want to send via mail.

While you are entering the filename, you can EXPAND what
you have typed by pressing the <Tab> key: if you have typed
enough characters to identify the file uniquely, the rest
of the name will be filled in for you, otherwise a small
window containing a list of possible files will open, and
you can select from that list. While the list is visible,
you can SPEED-SEARCH through it by pressing the first letter
of the name of the file you want to find.
Search for user:

This function allows you to search a file server for users by
name or by usercode. You may enter a part of either a name or 
a usercode, and the system will present all entries in the 
File Server's bindery containing that string. To search a File
Server other than the default server, place its name and a '/'
in front of your search pattern.

You may also be more selective by using combinations of '?' and
'*' characters: you could, for instance, type in THOM*SON, and
the system would respond with (for example) THOMPSON, THOMSON or 
THOMKINSON. You may use as many '*' or '?' characters in the
string as you wish.
Browsing messages:

Use the arrow keys to scroll through the list of messages until
the message you wish to work with is highlighted, At this point,
there are seven options available to you:

Press <Enter> to read the message
Press <X> to extract the message to a text file.
Press <P> to print the message.
Press <F> to forward the message to another user or users.
Press <R> to reply to the message: you will be asked if you
   want to attach the original message - type Y if you wish to
   include the original text in your reply, N if you do not wish
   to, or <Esc> to cancel the reply.
Press <M> to move the message to a folder: the folder window
   will open (you can create a folder at this point).
Press <Del> to delete the message.

Press <Esc> when to return to the main menu.
Selecting a folder:

Folders are storage areas for mail messages: you can use them to
keep related messages together, or for filing messages according
to any criteria you wish. When you first use Pegasus Mail, no 
folders will exist, so you must create them using the New Folder
option. This will open a small window asking for a folder name,
which must consist of 1 to 8 letters or numbers - do not use any
punctuation or special characters.

If folders are displayed on the list, you can select them by using
the arrow keys to move the reverse-video bar to the one you want
and pressing <Enter>.

Main folder refers to the top level mail folder where your
messages reside when you first receive them.

Printer port:

Enter here the number of the printer port on
your PC on which you want the message printed.
Possible values are 1 (LPT1:, the standard
printer device, and default), 2 (LPT2:) and
3 (LPT3:).

To print to a network printer, you must select
a port on which the output has been redirected
using the Novell CAPTURE command.
Lines per page:

Enter here the number of lines at 6 per inch
on a page of the paper you are using. The
default is 66, which corresponds to standard
US Letter (11 inch) tractor paper. A4 paper
has 70 lines.
A signature is a small file containing address information
and any other details you might want to add to the end of
a message.

If you specify an existing file as a signature, Pegasus Mail
will automatically append it to the end of each mail message
you send.

While you are entering your filename, you can EXPAND what
you have typed by pressing the <Tab> key: if you have typed
enough characters to identify the file uniquely, the rest
of the name will be filled in for you, otherwise a small
window containing a list of possible files will open, and
you can select from that list. While the list is visible,
you can SPEED-SEARCH through it by pressing the first letter
of the name of the file you want to find.
In this field, you can specify a default right
margin which Pegasus Mail will use when you
edit a message or file. When text reaches the
right margin, the word at the end of the line
will be moved to the next line (this is called
word-wrap).
If you place a value in this field, Pegasus Mail
will use it as your home mailbox: all your folders
will be placed here, and after you have read your
new mail, it will be moved there automatically.

If you have already been using a mailbox, or if
you have mail on the server, it will be moved to
the new location automatically. To move your home
mailbox back to the server leave the field blank.

A home mailbox need not be on the file server -
it can be on a local hard disk.
A filename consists of two sections:
    A name, of up to 8 characters
    An optional Extension, consisting of a period ('.') and
     up to three further characters.

You must use only LETTERS and NUMBERS in filenames - MS-DOS
places severe restrictions on the use of other characters,
and you should avoid them.

While you are entering your filename, you can EXPAND what
you have typed by pressing the <Tab> key: if you have typed
enough characters to identify the file uniquely, the rest
of the name will be filled in for you, otherwise a small
window containing a list of possible files will open, and
you can select from that list. While the list is visible,
you can SPEED-SEARCH through it by pressing the first letter
of the name of the file you want to find.

Advanced users: Pmail will correctly expand wildcard file
specifications in the standard DOS form (*, ?).
Enter Y here if you want a copy of the message kept
for yourself, or N if you do not.

Self copies will be stored in the folder defined in your
personal profile.
This value is the default Pegasus Mail will use
in the "Copy Self" field on the send message
screen. Irrespective of what you put here, you
can still change the value on a message-by-message
basis.
Enter in this field the name of the folder where
Pmail will store messages copied to self. You can
enter a name consisting of up to eight characters
or numbers.
Place here the string Pmail should use by default
to comment out messages on reply. The string you
supply will be put at the start of every line of
the original message when you choose the "commented"
option in a reply. The default value is "> ". Note
that spaces are significant.
If you answer 'Y' to this option, Pmail will wait until
you have finished editing the message, then will prompt
you for a Key: the key is effectively your password to
the message, and must be known to the user to whom the
note is addresses (otherwise they won't be able to read
it!). The key should have from 5 - 8 characters, and
Pmail will prompt you to enter it twice (to verify that
you've typed it correctly). The key will be used to
encrypt the body of the message, but the subject and
remainder of the header will remain readable.

Pegasus Mail uses an extremely efficient encryption
algorithm, and even the author cannot decrypt the
message if you forget the key, so make sure you choose
a value you can remember!
Pegasus Mail is prompting you to enter the password for this
message: if you are trying to read the message, then Pmail
needs it so that it can decrypt the message for you: if you
are sending a message, Pmail needs the key to perform the
encryption.

The key can have up to eight characters, and should include
only letters, numbers and underscore characters. The case of
the key IS significant, so "DAVID" and "david" are different
keys. Remember your key! Even the author cannot help you if
you forget the key to a message!
Enter here a short abbreviation for this entry:
Pegasus Mail will use the abbreviation to sort
the entries in the address book. Future versions
may also allow you to access the address book
directly from the 'TO:' field without calling
it up, using the index value.
The value you place in this field is purely for your
own reference: normally, you would place a short
description of the entry so you can see at a glance
what it is while browsing through the list.
This is Pegasus Mail's Address Book: it allows you to store
up to 500 entries, each entry containing one or more mail
addresses in any format acceptable to Pegasus Mail. You can
call up the address book at any time, but if you call it
from a TO: field, any address entries you select will be
fed back to the field when you press <Enter>.

Groups are shown in the list with a '#' sign before them,
and with a 'G' at the end of the entry: if your Supervisor
has limited the ability to mail to groups, you might not
see groups listed in this screen.

To search the address book, press the S key: Pmail will
prompt you for a string to search for. You can enter any
string or string fragment, and Pmail will proceed to
search for that fragment in each Index and Address entry:
if it finds a match, it will move the cursor to that
entry. You can use regular expression characters in this
field (* and ? characters) to limit the search.

Press <Enter> to select the current entry/marked entries
or press <Esc> to return without selecting.
