Comments:

  If you do not have a security level necessary to perform the
  Sysop functions above, do NOT attempt to enter those commands
  as excessive attempts to do so may lock you out of this system!
  Commands can be stacked together at this prompt if desired.

Examples:

  * R 1+ <enter>

    The above command will read all messages from #1 to the end.

  * R 1 5 10 20 <enter>

    The above command will read messages 1, 5, 10 and 20 and then stop.

  * R S <enter>

    The above command will read all mail that is new for you.

  * R L <enter>

    The above command will read all mail in reverse order from beginning to
    end.

  * TS A 1+ <enter>
    PCBoard & LANtastic <enter>

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

  * TS A 1+ <enter>
    PCBoard & (LANtastic | DESQview) <enter>

    conferences areas you are set to scan for any message that has both
    the word "PCBoard" AND either the word "LANtastic" OR the word
    "DESQview" in it.

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