Description:

  Allows checking for mail left to you or from you in a message
  base.  The above commands can be entered in combination on the
  same line to limit the scan function as desired.  The default for
  the (Y) command is to scan the current message base only, in
  reverse direction, checking for mail left by you as well as for
  mail addressed to you and to scan the complete message base, from
  the end of the file to the beginning.

  You can select which areas you want to be scanned when using the
  (A) subcommand by typing SELECT or by using the (W)rite User Info
  command.

Quick Scan:

  The Quick Scan format provides a display that looks something
  like this:
                                Messages  Messages
              Num   Conference   To You    Found

                2   DOOR               2        14

Long Scan:

  The Long Scan format provides more detail such as message numbers
  found and looks something like this:
