@ANNOUNCE                               Send a msg to stations connected.
Command: ANNOUNCE This command is used to send a text string out to all
                 stations which are connected to the PacketCluster. If you
                 wish to make announcement to only those users connected to
                  a particular PacketCluster node, you can specify the call
                  of the node on the command. The ANNOUNCE command defaults
                  to the local node; a cluster-wide announcement requires 
                  using the /FULL qualifier on the command.  You can also
                  specify a distribution list as a qualifier.  The ANNOUNCE 
                  command may be used while in Conference Mode or Talk 
                  Mode by prefacing it with an asterisk (*).  
         Syntax:   Announce msg 
                   Announce/call msg 
                   Announce/Full msg
                   Announce/distro msg
@BYE                                    Disconnect command
Command: BYE   Bye command informs the PacketCluster that you wish to 
               disconnect. This is the recommended way of disconnecting, 
               instead of using the D command to your TNC.
      Syntax:  Bye
@CONFERENCE                             Conference Mode Command
Command: CONFERENCE This command places you into Conference Mode.  You will
                    see all input from any other station that is also in
                    Conference Mode. Note that by default, you are put into
                    the local conference on your PacketCluster node.  A 
                    ctrl/Z or the text /EXIT will cause you to leave 
                    Conference Mode and return to the PacketCluster command
                   level. When in the local conference, your call will have
                    a plus sign (+) next to it in the SHOW/USERS display.
            Syntax:  CONFERence 
                                ***  Note  ***
                While in Conference Mode, you are able to do the following
                PacketCluster commands:
                    ANNOUNCE   - make a general announcement to all stns
                    DX         - DX spotting functions
                    TALK msg   - send a one-line message to another station
                    SHOW/CONFIGURATION - display cluster configuration
                    SHOW/DX    - show DX log
                    SHOW/USERS - show what stations are connected
                    SHOW/WWV   - show WWV propagation information
                    WWV        - announce WWV information
                This is done by prefacing the command with an asterisk (*):
                        *DX, *T, *ANNOUNCE  for example.
@CONFERENCE/FULL                        Global Conference Mode
Command:  CONFERENCE/FULL   This command is identical to CONFERENCE except
                            that the conference is global throughout the
                            cluster.  Users in global conference mode are 
                            designated with an asterisk (*) next to their
                            call in the SHOW/USERS display.
                  Syntax:   CONFERence/Full
@DELETE                                 Delete Mail Messages
Command: DELETE The DELETE command is used to delete mail messages on the
                PacketCluster. If no message number is specified, the last
                mail message read will be deleted; otherwise, the one
                 specified by message number.
        Syntax:  DElete
                 DElete message-#,message-#,...
@DIRECTORY                              Display list of Current mail
Command: DIRECTORY  This command is used to display a list of the current
                    mail messages on the PacketCluster node to which you
                    are connected.  A hyphen (-) next to a particular mail
                    message number indicates that the message has been read
                    by the station to which it was addressed, a plus sign
                    (+) indicates message set to noauto_delete, an asterisk
                    (*) indicates both read and noauto_delete, and a "p"
                    indicates a private message.
                    If you specify a call on the command, you will see
                    messages only sent by or to that station.

              information to all other stations which are connected
              to the PacketCluster.  Also see command SHOW/DX.  While in 
              Conference or Talk Mode, use *DX.
    Syntax:   DX frequency callsign misc-info
                    where frequency is of the format 14025.10, for example.
                    Misc-info should be kept brief as the system will add
                    the date and time after it. Misc-info is optional.
@DX/call                                Credit DX spotting to a call
Command: DX/call   The DX command with the /call qualifier allows you to 
                   announce DX spotting information and to credit the DX
                   spot to the station whose callsign you specify. 
         Syntax:   DX[/call] frequency callsign misc-info
        Example:   DX/K1GQ 14001.1 3C0A

Command: FINDFILE This command is used to locate files on the PacketCluster
                  You may specify either a full file name or a partial name
                  with wildcards (*).  The system searches all defined file
                  areas for the file.
          Syntax:  FIndfile filename or filename-mask
         Example:  FINDFILE ARRL.DAT
                   FINDFILE ARRL*.*
@HELP                                   Help or ? for help.
Command: HELP The HELP or ? command displays what commands are available to
              you while connected to the PacketCluster.  
      Syntax: Help            displays what commands are available.
                ? command       displays help on the specified command.
@READ                                   Read a message.
Command: READ   This command is used to read a mail message which is shown
                in the DIRECTORY display.  A READ without a message number
                will read the oldest unread mail message addressed to you.
                Any mail message may be read if the message number is 
                specified on the READ command.  
      Syntax:   Read
                Read message-#
                Read/nopage message-#
@REPLY                                  Replay to last message read.
Command: REPLY This command is used to reply to the last mail message which
               was read. The subject of the resulting message will be the
               same as that of the previously-read message with an RE:
               preceding it.  You may also specify a message number to 
               reply to, so that reading it first is unnecessary.
       Syntax:   REPly
                 REPly msg-#
@REPLY/DELETE                           Variation of reply
Command: REPLY/DELETE
                 This variation of the REPLY command does the same function
                 but also deletes the messages to which you are replying.
       Syntax:   REPly/Delete
@SEND                                   Send Mail to another station.
Command: SEND This command is used to send a mail message to another
              station.  You will be prompted for the station being sent
              to, the subject, and the message.  The mail message may be
              terminated with either a ctrl/Z or the text /EXIT.  If you
              wish to cancel the mail message, send a ctrl/Y to the system.
              The /PRIVATE qualifier sends a private message; the 
                /NOPRIVATE qualifier sends a public message.  The /RR 
                qualifier requests a return receipt, so that when the 
                addressee reads the mail, a confirmation is returned to the
                sender.
      Syntax:   Send
                Send/Private
                Send/NOPrivate
                Send/RR
@SET                                    Set your user specific options.
Command: SET   The SET command is used to set user-specific options on the
               PacketCluster.
     Syntax:   SEt/qualifier

@SET/ALIAS                              Set an Alias callsign for connects.
Command: SET/ALIAS     These commands set or clear an alias callsign for
         SET/NOALIAS   your connection.  This allows two-call families to
                       use the same packet station to connect to the
                       PacketCluster.  Use the SWITCH command to change
                       your call.  This parameter only lasts for the 
                       duration of your session - use the user-defined
                       command procedure to have this set up on each
                       connection.

@SET/ANSI                               For ANSI excape sequence support.
Command: SET/ANSI   These commands inform the PacketCluster whether or not
         SET/NOANSI your terminal program understands and can accept ANSI 
                    escape sequences.  In particular, PacketCluster makes 
                    use of reverse video sequences.  If your terminal
                    understands that reverse video is ESC G 4, use the
                    /ALT qualifier.  The default mode for new users is 
                    SET/NOANSI.

@SET/BEEP                               To set Beep on or off.
Command: SET/BEEP     These commands control whether beeps are sent to you.
         SET/NOBEEP   This state is set only for the current session - use
                      a personal command procedure to make it permanent.
            Syntax:   SEt/BEep
                      SEt/NOBEep
@SET/DX_ANNOUNCEMENTS                   Whether DX announcements are rxed.  
Command: SET/DX_ANNOUNCEMENTS   These commands control whether DX 
         SET/NODX_ANNOUNCEMENTS announcements are sent to you. This state
                                only lasts for the duration of your session
                                 - use a personal command procedure to make
                                 this permanent.

@SET/FILTER                             Add or remove DX filtering.
Command: SET/FILTER     These commands add or remove DX filtering from
         SET/NOFILTER   your filter record.  The keyword "ALL" can be used
                        to specify all bands or all prefixes. "Mode" is 
                        either CW or SBB.  Valid bands are 160, 80, 40, 30,
                        20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6, and 2.
              Syntax:   SEt/FILTER/mode/BAND=(x,x,x,...) prefix(es)
@SET/HERE                               Attended or unattended mode
Command: SET/HERE    These commands are used to give some indication to
         SET/NOHERE  other PacketCluster users whether you are actually 
                     available in your shack, or just connected without 
                     being around.
                     Users who have done a SET/NOHERE cause their callsigns
                     to be displayed in parentheses in the SHOW/USERS 
                     display and in their prompt lines.  SET/HERE removes
                     the parentheses.

                      SEt/NOHere 
@SET/HOME_NODE                          Define your Home Node.
Command: SET/HOME_NODE   This command is used to specify the node you want
                         to designate as your "home node".  If you aren't
                         currently connect, mail will be forwarded to this
                         node to await your connection.  Users on the other
                         side of limited-protocol connections can also
                         direct talk messages to you transparently if this
                         information is set.
               Syntax:   SEt/HOMe_node call
@SET/LOCATION                           Specify Lat and Long
Command: SET/LOCATION This command allows you to specify your latitude and
                      longitude coordinates. This information may be viewed
                      by using the SHOW/LOCATION call command.
                      Latitude/longitude information is used by Packet-
                      Cluster for calculating beam headings and MUF 
                      information for your station.
            Syntax: SEt/Location lat-deg lat-min N/S long-deg long-min E/W
           Example: if your latitude is 41 degrees 15 minutes North
                    and your longitude is 71 degrees 10 minutes West,
                    you would enter:
                               SET/LOCATION 41 15 N 71 10 W
@SET/LOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS                Login alert msgs ON/OFF for session
Command: SET/LOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS   These commands control whether user 
         SET/NOLOGIN_ANNOUNCEMENTS login alert messages are sent to you.
                                   This state only lasts for the duration
                                   of your session - use a personal command
