 Type          : 23
 Name          : Read messages
 Optional Data : <Message area #> or /M

   Initiates the message reading routines. Checks that the user
   has  read  access to the message area first.  The  user  may
   select several different scan modes.  These include forward,
   reverse,  new messages, marked messages, individual message,
   or  a  selected  scan according to  the  "To:",  "From:"  or
   "Subject"  fields.  Online help is also available from  this
   hard-coded menu in the form of a text file.  Put the message
   area  number  on the optional data field,  or  0  to  select
   "combined"  mode  (see  function type 28 for  more  on  this
   feature).  If  you put a "/M" in the optional data field  in
   place  of the area number,  RemoteAccess will  automatically
   substitute the currently selected template message area into
   the  data field.  See MENU TEMPLATES for more on  this.  The
   message area number refers to number assigned to the desired
   area in RACONFIG.

   The  menu  bar  at the  end  of  each  message provides  the
   following functions:

   [-] : Read previous reply
   [+] : Read next reply
   [A] : Redisplay message again
   [F] : Download files that are attached to the message
   [N] : Go to the next message
   [L] : Go back to the previous message
   [R] : Post a reply to the current message
   [E] : Enter a new message in the current area
   [D] : Delete the displayed message (check the "delete msg"
         menu function for more information)
   [S] : Stop reading messages

   The following options are  available only to users who  have
   sysop access to the message area:

   [!] : Display kludge lines normally hidden
   [*] : Edit the current message's attributes
   [X] : Export message to a file or the printer
   [/] : Forward message to another user in any area
   [=] : Mark message as unreceived and go to the next message
   [U] : Modify the security level of the user who posted the
         currently displayed message, provided the user is
         listed in the userfile. Great for "on the fly" user
         verification! {+} Only available in registered
         version.
