[1;37mACTIVITY LOG[1;33mDisplays the contents of ACTIVITY.LOG in last-in, 
first-out order. Screen pauses are implemented.

[1;37mCREATE EVENTS - [1;33mThis choice is used to create new event to be 
run automatically by WILDCAT!. A sub-prompt is displayed asking which 
eventto create:

Event #[x]?

where x represents the next unused event letter. Pressing the [ENTER] 
key aborts with no change in events structure. Refer to the section 
Features in Depth, "Creating Events" for complete information.

[1;37mDROP TO DOS - [1;33mThis choice is used to drop to DOS when calling in 
from remote ONLY. If selected from the local (non-remote) machine, 
the message "Use ALT-D to Drop to DOS locally. This feature is for remote 
use." is displayed. If the SYSOP has specified that Drop to DOS is 
allowed, WILDCAT! sets the errorlevel to 40 and terminates. The remote 
caller is allowed access to the operating system through the 
communication port IF the proper batch files have been configured in 
advance. See Remote drop to DOS in the chapter Features in Depth for 
additional information.

From the local console, ALT-D is used for dropping to DOS. This
option is only functional when calling in remotely. Unless there
is a very good reason for it, this option should be confined to
the system operator or disabled!

[1;37mEVENT UPDATES - [1;33mThis choice is used for updating and changing 
previously established events. Selecting an event number (providing at 
least one exists), will permit toggling the event on or off, or changing 
other conditions of that particular event, including days of operation, 
etc. See the section Features in Depth for additional information.

[1;37mFILE DATABASE - [1;33mThis selection is used to access and manipulate 
the file database within WILDCAT!. It is the command center for the 
listing of all files avilable for download on the system. Selecting 
this choice displays the first file catalogued in the database.

The system operator may change any of the entries by selecting the 
corresponding item number to edit. The sub-menu options perform the 
following operations:

[[1;37mF[1;33m]ind - Prompts for full file name to locate a particular file.

[[1;37mS[1;33m]earch - Full or partial file name required for search, then provides 
option of saying yes or no to each successful find.

[[1;37mN[1;33m]ext - Advances to the next file alphabetically, matching search 
criterion, if Match/Set (see below) has been requested.

[[1;37mP[1;33m]rev - Previous - goes back one file alphabetically, matching the 
Match/Set criteria (see below) if being used for search criterion.

[[1;37mA[1;33m]dd - Allows manual entry of a new file. If the file already has been 
placed in the appropriate file path, WILDCAT! will bypass the 
prompt for both file date and size and make use of the correct 
information from the disk.

[[1;37mD[1;33m]elete - Allows deletion of of an entry in the file database with an 
option to delete the file from the disk also. A file may be deleted only 
from the database, in which case it remains available on disk but may 
not be downloaded or otherwise accessed by anyone.

[[1;37mM[1;33m]atch - Match or Set File Area - permits entering a file area letter 
such as A or B as search criterion. All files contained in this area are 
displayed one at a time, in alphabetical order.  Pressing C/R at the 
Match prompt resets the Match/set area to NONE, as does reaching the end 
of the files matching the criteria. The status of the Match/Set is 
indicated at the top of the screen.

[[1;37mR[1;33m]ead a file - This choice is the same as reading a text file from the 
file menu. It may be used to review or check the contents of ASCII files 
without leaving the sysop menu.

[[1;37mQ[1;33m]uit - Discontinue file database maintenance, return to sysop menu.

[1;37mGOODBYE - [1;33mTerminate connection and disconnect.

[1;37mKILL ACTIVITY LOG - [1;33mThis is the proper method of erasing the 
ACTIVITY.LOG file when it becomes an unmanageable size. By responding 
"Y" to the confirmation sub-prompt, the activity log will be erased and 
a new copy of ACTIVITY.LOG started. 

[1;37mLIST EVENTS - [1;33mListing the currently established events 
presents a screen showing the number of the scheduled event, the 
current status (enabled/disabled) of the event, the length of time the 
event is to run, the day of the week the event is to run, the schedule 
identifier ("Y" ,"X', "A", "B"), etc., and the description of the 
event. It informs the system operator as to what automatic system 
events are to occur, and when.

[1;37mPRINT THE USER FILE - [1;33mPrints to the printer a complete 
alphabetical listing of the user database, including all information 
known about that user.

[1;37mQUIT TO MAIN MENU - [1;33mExits the sysop menu and returns to MAIN 
menu.

[1;37mSTATISTICS ON DATABASES - [1;33mThis is an information option for 
the sysop, indicating the current status of the various databases. 

[1;37mUSER DATABASE - [1;33mThis choice is used to access the user 
database within WILDCAT!. Complete control over your system callers is 
available in this area. A full screen display of the first user in the 
database is presented.

The system operator may change any of the entries by selecting the 
corresponding item number to edit. Keep in mind that some of these 
settings are generated by WILDCAT!'s internal operation such as the 
number of files uploaded, etc. Use caution in changing these values. 

User Since - indicates the date and year of the user's first call to the 
system, and never changes unless altered here.

Conferences joined - lists the letters of the message folders that the 
user currently has open for viewing. This changes as folders are opened 
and closed.

New Files - This date reflects the last time the user made use of the 
[N]ew files command in the file menu. 

Erase more prompt - if toggled to YES, the pause prompt at the end of a 
screen - More - [C]ontinue, [S]top, [N]onstop  is erased using the 
backspace character when a response is made. If set to NO the prompt 
will remain on screen and a new line will begin.  This feature is present 
for systems which cannot handle the backspace character.

Time remaining - reflects the number of minutes of use available at the 
end of the user's last call. It is reset if the next call comes in on a 
new date.

Memo date - this field is unused by WILDCAT!.  It is available to 
the system operator. It might be used to enter an expiration date for 
pay systems, or whatever else meets the sysop's needs.

The sub-menu options perform the following operations.

[[1;37mF[1;33m]ind - Prompts for full user name to locate a particular user.

[[1;37mS[1;33m]earch - A full or partial user name is required for the search, and 
the sysop may deceide whether or not to view each successful find. To 
abort a search simply answer yes to any user record displayed.

[[1;37mA[1;33m]dd - Manual entry of a new user. This is useful for "preregistration" 
purposes.

[[1;37mD[1;33m]elete - Deletes the current record from the database.

[[1;37mP[1;33m]rev - (Previous) - goes back one user record alphabetically, and 
follows the established search criteria set up by the Match/Set Level if 
being used.

[[1;37mM[1;33m]atch - (Match or Set Level) - permits entering a user security level 
as search criterion. All users matching this level are displayed one at 
a time. Pressing ENTER at the Match prompt resets the match to NONE. The 
status of any match/set is displayed at the top of the screen.

[[1;37mW[1;33m]rite message - Creates a message addressed to the user 
without leaving the database screen. This feature is handy for 
leaving notification to users advising them of updates or changes 
to their status. After message entry is completed the sysop is returned 
to the user database screen.

[[1;37mENTER[1;33m] - Next alphabetical record in series, following the criteria set 
up by both Search and Match set, if any. Changes may be made to any 
user's record EXCEPT the user who is logged in and making the changes! 
This is due to the method used for user file updates during a call. 
While anyone is on-line (local or remote), WILDCAT! reads the entire User 
Record into memory and updates the information IN MEMORY as activity 
takes place. At the end of the call the record is written to the disk 
file. Any changes made using the [Y]our System Settings command 
while connected are made only in memory, which is saved at the end of the 
call. This differs from the [U]ser Database command which ONLY writes 
changes to disk. It follows then that any changes made to the users own 
record using the [U] command will be made on the disk, but these very 
changes will be overwritten by the old information in memory when the 
connection is completed. Should you need to alter your own record we 
suggest logging in as an alias or an assistant sysop and completing the 
change.

[1;37mWASTEBASKET DUMP - [1;33mResults in the sub-prompt "Do you want to 
Delete the messages in the Wastebasket?" 

This option is necessary since when a given message is deleted (erased 
or killed) by a user, it is not really deleted. Instead, the message is 
transferred to the "Y" folder (the wastebasket) where it remains until 
option [W] is performed either manually or automatically in an event. 
After the wastebasket is dumped, the space occupied by that message may 
be used for the equivalent amount of space in another message. See also 
Schedule "Y"
