F1 F1: Help Screen
; Called from main F1 screen
Press any of the keys listed on the help screen to display extended help for
those keys.  [LNET2.HLP must be available.  If you are reading this text
from within LNET-II, then LNET2.HLP is available.]

For detailed instructions on using LNET-II, please see your user manual
[LN2V100.DOC].  The user manual is formatted for printing with page numbers
and a table of contents.  This help file makes references to page numbers in
the user manual.
@C ALT+C: Clean Up Packet
; Called from main F1 screen
Rewrites the currently loaded packet, skipping over items which have been
deleted or are marked to be deleted.

If DROP_BAD_NODE is ON [see page 29], then all items being rewritten will
have their destination(s) checked for nonexistent nodes, and any such nodes
will be displayed in the "nonexistent node list editor" [see page 39].  From
this list, you will have the option to remove nodes from the list [forcing
LNET-II to keep all items for those nodes], set a "cutoff age" for a node
[items older than the specified number of days will be deleted], or delete
all references to a node.  [DROP_BAD_NODE can be turned on/off from the F2
configuration menu.  The /LOMEM option forces DROP_BAD_NODE = OFF, so the
nonexistent node list editor will never be shown if /LOMEM is active.]

After the packet is rewritten, LNET-II will reload it if it still contains
at least one item.  If the rewritten packet contains no items, it will be
deleted, and LNET-II will either jump to the packet select list if other
packets exist or exit to DOS if no more packets exist.

Reference: Page 16
@D ALT+D: Delete Item
; Called from main F1 screen
Deletes the item currently being displayed.  This is done by placing a flag
in the packet index file.  The item's original type is not changed within
the packet itself - this ensures that the item cannot accidentally be per-
manently deleted if an error occurs and LNET-II is forced to exit or you are
forced to reboot your system.  Items marked for deletion will be physically
deleted only when the packet is closed by rewriting it [ALT+C], loading a
new packet [ALT+K], or exiting LNET-II [ALT+X].

Items which were already deleted when the packet was loaded cannot be
recovered.

Reference: Page 14
^D CTRL+D: Mass-Delete [REGISTERED ONLY]
; Called from main F1 screen
Deletes a range of items.  This is done by placing a flag in the packet
index file.  You will be prompted to enter the starting and ending item
numbers to delete.  These must be within the range 1 to max_items.  If the
ending item number is less than the starting item number, LNET-II will
delete from the starting item backward.  Items marked for deletion by
LNET-II can still be recovered IF you do not quit LNET-II, change packets,
or use the ALT+C key to rewrite the current packet.  Items which were
already deleted when the packet was loaded cannot be recovered.

Reference: Page 15
@E ALT+E: Extract To Text
; Called from main F1 screen
Extracts the current item to a TEXT file IF the item is a post or email
[main types 2, 3, 5, 7, and 26] and is not DE* encrypted [Method<>0].
LNET-II does not extract to net packet formats.  When ALT+E is used, you
will be prompted to select whether the text will be written with the message
header, whether the header should be boxed if it is being written, and
whether any "optional lines" [taglines and routing stamps] should be
included.

Reference: Page 20
^E CTRL+E: Mass-Extract [REGISTERED ONLY]
; Called from main F1 screen
Extracts a range of items to a text file.  Please see the help on ALT+E for
further details.  You will be prompted to enter the starting and ending item
numbers to extract.  These must be in the range 1 to max_items.  If the
ending item number is less than the starting item number, LNET-II will
extract from the starting item backward.

If you are registered, you will also have the option to extract ALL items in
the specified range or only those items in that range which match the
defined search criteria [assuming a search form has been defined].  Tagged
items can be extracted via the F3 "tag commands" menu.

Reference: Page 22
@F ALT+F: Show Origin ["From"] Node Data
; Called from main F1 screen
Displays the full BBS data on the originating node of the current item.
This data will include the node number, group, hops, next hop, name, phone,
region, and identifier flags.  If the origin node is more than one hop away,
the ALT+H key in the BBS data display will allow you to see the next hop's
BBS data.  ALT+F can be used at the main screen and in the ALT+I item list.

Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables this feature!

Reference: Page 17
@G ALT+G: Go To Item #
; Called from main F1 screen
Jumps to a specific item number in the packet.  You will be prompted for the
item number.  This number must be in the range 1 to max_items.  If a valid
number is entered, LNET-II will jump to that item number and display its
header data.

Reference: Page 14
@I ALT+I: Select Item From List
; Called from main F1 screen
Selects an item from a summary list.  This list will show the items' tags
[if any], item numbers, main/minor types, origins, destination(s), age in
hours, and sizes.  Use the cursor pad keys to select an item, then press
ENTER, or press ESCAPE to cancel.

In the item list, ALT+L can be used to view details on an item's desti-
nation(s), and ALT+F will display details on an item's origin.  ALT+N will
display the network node list.  The SPACEBAR can be used to toggle items'
tags for batch processes [reg'd only] and for selective reading.

Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables the ALT+F and ALT+N command
keys in the item list, and ALT+L will list node numbers only, with no BBS
details.

Reference: Page 13
@K ALT+K: Load New Packet
; Called from main F1 screen
Selects a new packet to load, if any readable packets are available.  Use
the cursor pad keys to select a packet, then press ENTER, or press ESCAPE to
exit to DOS.

When you load a new packet or exit LNET-II, and items in the current packet
are marked for deletion, LNET-II gives you the option to rewrite the packet
without those items, making them permanently deleted.  If the DROP_BAD_NODE
option is ON, and the packet contains references to nonexistent nodes, you
will also have to option to edit the list of nonexistent nodes [see page
39] before the packet is rewritten and closed.

Reference: Page 12
@L ALT+L: View Item Destination(s)
; Called from main F1 screen
Displays the destination(s) of the current item, in summary form.  To view
the full BBS data on any node in the list, select it with the cursor pad
keys and press ENTER.

If the packet has more than one item, then the LEFT/RIGHT keys in the item
list screen can be used to view the destination(s) of the previous/next
item.  [If STICKY_LIST is ON in WWIV.INI, changing items with the arrow keys
in the destination list screen will make the new item current.]

If an item has more than one destination, and you are viewing details for a
node in the item's destination list, then the LEFT/RIGHT keys can be used to
view the details for the previous/next node in the item's destination list.

Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables all functions related to node
details!  When /LOMEM is active, the destination list will show only the
node numbers.

Reference: Page 18
@N ALT+N: View Network Node List
; Called from main F1 screen
Displays a summary listing of the current network's nodes.  To view the full
BBS data for any node, select it with the cursor pad keys and press ENTER.
Press ESCAPE to return to the main screen.  While viewing the details for a
node in the network list, the LEFT/RIGHT keys can be used to display the
data for the previous/next node in the network list.  If the node being
displayed is reachable and is more than one hop away, then the ALT+H key can
be used to display the details for the next hop to that node.

Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables this feature!

Reference: Page 19
@O ALT+O: Toggle Optional Lines
; Called from main F1 screen
Toggles whether any "optional lines" will be displayed when reading an
item's text.  Optional lines will generally consist of user/BBS taglines and
NET33+ routing stamps.  If this is OFF, no optional lines will be shown.  If
it is ON, optional lines will be shown according to the "OptVal" setting
[see help for CTRL+O].

Reference: Page 23
^O CTRL+O: Set Optional Lines Value
; Called from main F1 screen
Selects which "optional lines" [generally user/BBS tags and NET33+ routing
stamps] will be displayed when reading an item's text.  A value of 0 will
cause ALL optional lines to be displayed.  A value of 1 will generally cause
all lines EXCEPT the NET33+ routing stamps to be displayed.  A value of 9
will cause LNET-II to display only those optional lines beginning with a ^D9
prefix; as a rule, these will only be user signatures and the WWIVEDIT.DIV
file.  This setting has no effect if optional lines are turned off [ALT+O
command key, or OPT_LINES = OFF in WWIV.INI].

Reference: Page 23
@P ALT+P: Toggle Screen Pause
; Called from main F1 screen
Toggles the screen pause when viewing items' text.  If it is ON, then
LNET-II will execute a pause for every full screen page of displayed text.
[This generally does not apply to animated ANSI screens; animated ANSI is
defined by LNET-II as any sequences which move the cursor vertically without
the use of CR/LF.]  If it is OFF, then LNET-II will scroll the item text
continuously.  Lines-per-page is determined by the available video modes and
the setting of the "MaxLines" option.  LNET-II supports 25, 30, 43, 50, and
60-line displays.

Reference: Page 24
@R ALT+R: Restore [Undelete] Item
; Called from main F1 screen
Restores [undeletes] an item which has been marked for deletion.  This is
done by clearing a flag in the packet index file.  Items are not physically
deleted from the packet until you close it - this ensures that they cannot
accidentally be permanently deleted if an error occurs and LNET-II is
forced to exit or you are forced to reboot your system.

Items which were already deleted when the packet was loaded cannot be
recovered.

Reference: Page 16
^R CTRL+R: Mass-Restore [REGISTERED ONLY]
; Called from main F1 screen
Restores [undeletes] a range of items [see help for ALT+R.]  In general,
this will apply only to items which were marked for deletion with the ALT+D,
CTRL+D, and ALT+T keys.  You will be prompted to enter the starting and
ending item numbers to restore.  These must be in the range 1 to max_items.
If the ending item number is less than the starting item number, LNET-II
will restore from the starting item backward.

Reference: Page 16
@S ALT+S: Toggle Sound
; Called from main F1 screen
Toggles sound.  When sound is ON, keystrokes are confirmed with a short
beep, errors and invalid keystrokes are indicated by a low tone, ASCII 7
characters in an item's text will produce a beep when the text is viewed,
and any ANSI music data in a message's text will be played when the item is
viewed.

Reference: Page 24
@T ALT+T: Truncate Packet
; Called from main F1 screen
Truncates the packet at the current item, marking all items from the current
item to the end of the packet for deletion.  These items can still be
recovered with ALT+R or CTRL+R as long as you do not change packets or exit
LNET-II.  When ALT+T is pressed, you will be prompted for a double Yes/No
confirmation.  If you change packets or exit LNET-II while items in the
current packet are marked for deletion, LNET-II will rewrite the packet
without the deleted items.  Note that LNET-II truncates packets by marking
each individual item as deleted in the packet index file instead of simply
making one large deleted segment.  The packet is not physically truncated
until you load a new packet or exit LNET-II.

Reference: Page 15
@U ALT+U: Show Sub Info
; Called from main F1 screen
If the selected item belongs to a sub [main types 3, 5, 16 to 19, and 26],
the ALT+U key will display the SUBS.* data for the item.  This data includes
the subtype, host, topic, and flags [Gated, AutoReq, NoTag, ANSI, NetVal].

Occasionally, two or more subs on a network may use the same subtype.
LNET-II attempts to determine the correct entry in SUBS.* by checking the
listed host node against the item's origin or destination, depending on the
item's main type:

    Main Types 5, 16, 17: Assumed to be TO the sub host.
                  18, 19: Assumed to be FROM the sub host.
                   3, 26: May be from any node - first match is displayed.

If a sub's info is found, the ALT+H key can be used to display the full BBS
data for the host node.  [Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables the
ALT+H key at the sub info screen!]

Reference: Page 20
@V ALT+V: Toggle "Max Lines" Video
; Called from main F1 screen
Toggles the "MaxLines" video mode when displaying item text [ENTER key at
the main screen].  If it is ON, item text will be displayed in the currently
selected resolution [as shown on the status bar, selected with the CTRL+V
key].  LNET-II auto-detects the presence of 25, 30, 43, 50, and 60-line
displays.  If this option is OFF, item text will be shown in 25-line mode.
Text is always shown in 80-column mode; 132-column mode is never used even
if it is available.  GUI screens are always shown in 25-line mode.

The /NOHI command line option forces LNET-II to use only the 25-line mode
and prevents LNET-II from trying to detect or use high-res text modes.
/NOHI disables the ALT+V and CTRL+V video mode selection keys.

Reference: Page 25
^V CTRL+V: Select Video Mode
; Called from main F1 screen
Selects which video mode to use when displaying message text, if your
display can use any video modes higher than 25 lines.  LNET-II auto-detects
the presence of 30, 43, 50, and 60-line displays.  When more than one of
these modes are available, the CTRL+V key cycles through the available modes
[the current mode will be shown on the status bar at the bottom of your
screen].  This setting DOES NOT affect the GUI screens, which are always
shown in 25-line mode - it affects only the message text display when
reading items.  As a rule, the 30, 50, and 60-line modes require VGA.  43-
line mode is available on most EGA screens; VGA can also use it.  Note that
the 30-line and 60-line modes cannot display text background colors.

If the /NOHI command line switch is used, no high-resolution text modes will
be detected or used.  /NOHI forces 25-line mode for all screens and disables
the CTRL+V and ALT+V video mode selection keys.

Reference: Page 26
@W ALT+W: Write WWIV.INI
; Called from main F1 screen
Writes all current settings to WWIV.INI, to be used as defaults for the next
time you load LNET-II.  REG_NAME and REG_CODE are saved.  Comments which may
have been in the [LNET2] block in WWIV.INI when LNET-II was loaded are NOT
saved.

LNET-II's settings are written to WWIV.INI in groups by related purposes.
Although LNET-II's settings may be given in any order, they are grouped when
they are written to make them easier to manage.

Reference: Page 33
@X ALT+X: Exit LNET-II
; Called from main F1 screen
Exits the program.  The open packet is closed, and if any items within it
have been previously deleted or marked for deletion, you will have the
option to rewrite the packet, skipping over the deleted items.  If the
packet contains references to nonexistent nodes, you will have the option to
edit the list of nonexistent nodes before closing the packet [see page 39].

When the packet is closed, all file locks are released, making the packet
available to other processes.

Reference: Page 22
ENTER ENTER Key: Read Item Text
; Called from main F1 screen
Displays the text of the current item IF the item is assumed to be readable.
An item to be displayed must be longer than 0 bytes; CMI NetUp items must be
at least 20 bytes.  If LNET-II tries to display an item but determines that
the item cannot be properly displayed, you will be shown an error message.

Text will be shown with screen pauses if "Pause" is ON [see ALT+P], with
full ANSI/WWIVansi/pipe code/ANSI music translation [ANSI music requires
sound to be on; see ALT+S], and with boxed headers if the item is a post
[main types 3, 5, and 26], e-mail [main types 2 and 7], or SSM [main type
15].  WWIV control characters ^B [center text], ^C [color codes], and ^D
[optional lines] are recognized.  ^A [WWIV line wrap] is filtered out if it
is at the end of a line; LNET-II does not perform WWIV-style line wraps.

If the item belongs to a recognized third-party utility, the item text will
be shown without the utility's subheader.

When "MaxLines" is ON [ALT+V], items will be shown in the selected text
resolution; otherwise, they will be shown in 25-line mode.  LNET-II detects
and supports 25, 30, 43, 50, and 60-line displays.  Text is always shown in
80-column mode; 132-column mode is never used even if your display has this
capability.

While reading item text, the following command keys may be used:

    ALT+S          : Toggle sound
    ALT+P          : Toggle pause
    SPACE          : Abort text display
    P              : Pause text display
    R              : Re-read item
    LEFT/RIGHT     : Read previous/next item
    CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT: Read previous/next item which matches search spec
                     [registered copies only]
    ALT+LEFT/RIGHT : Read previous/next tagged item

Reference: Page 7
CPAD Cursor Pad Keys
; Called from main F1 screen
The cursor pad keys allow navigation of the packet.  UP/DOWN move ONE ITEM
forward/back, and will wrap around to the beginning/end of the packet.
LEFT/RIGHT move TEN ITEMS forward/back, or to the start/end if the packet
has less than ten items.  PGUP/PGDN move ONE HUNDRED items forward/back, or
to the start/end if the packet has less than one hundred items.  HOME/END
jump to the first/last item in the packet.  LEFT/RIGHT and PGUP/PGDN do not
wrap around to the start/end of the packet.  The "5" key in the center of
the numeric keypad will jump to the approximate middle of the packet.

The CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT keys will jump to the previous/next item which
matches the most recent search criteria [registered copies only; see page
35].  The ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT keys will jump to the previous/next tagged
item.  [Note: ALT+LEFT/RIGHT can be entered only from the gray secondary
cursor pad on AT-class keyboards.  Because XT-class keyboards do not have
the secondary cursor pad, they cannot use the ALT+LEFT/RIGHT command keys.]

You can also use the ALT+G key to jump directly to a specific item number.

Reference: Page 11
DL Destination List Screen
; Called from ALT+L screen
Lists the destination(s) of the currently selected item, in summary form.
To view a node's full BBS data, select it with the UP/DOWN or PGUP/PGDN keys
and press ENTER.  The LEFT/RIGHT arrows will display the destination(s) of
the previous/next item if there is more than one item in the packet.  Press
ESC to exit the destination list.  If STICKY_LIST is ON, the last item
selected with the LEFT/RIGHT keys becomes the current item.

Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables all functions related to node
details!  When /LOMEM is active, the destination list screen will show node
numbers only; the ENTER key cannot be used to view node details.

Reference: Page 18
FL FLINK Data Screen
; Called from subheader display
This screen displays subheader data for FLINK items.  FLINK is a utility
used to transfer packets for multiple networks over a single net.  The
"origin" section shows the node and network which originated the current
item.  The "destination" section shows the node and network of the item's
destination on the current network, which may not necessarily be the item's
final destination.  The "block" section shows the current block number and
total block size of the item.  FLINK items are type 15/0 and use method 555.

Reference: Page 10
IL Item List Screen
; Called from ALT+I screen
Use the cursor pad keys to select an item, then hit ENTER.  LNET-II will
jump to that item and display its header data.  Press ESCAPE at the item
list screen to cancel it.  You may also view an item's destination(s) by
placing the scroll bar on that item and pressing ALT+L.  ALT+F will display
the full node data for the item's originating node.  If the item on the
scroll bar belongs to a sub [main types 3, 5, 16 to 19, and 26], then the
ALT+U key will display all available data for the sub - subtype, host,
flags, and topic - if this data can be found in the SUBS.* files [see help
for ALT+U].

Other available command keys are ALT+D [delete item], CTRL+D [mass delete],
ALT+T [truncate packet], ALT+R [restore item], CTRL+R [mass restore], F10
[define search form], CTRL+LEFT [search back], CTRL+RIGHT [search forward],
ALT+N [view network node list].

If any item(s) in the packet matched the last search criteria, the CTRL+
LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT keys will place the previous/next matching item at the
top of the item list, or as close to the top as possible.  That item will
become the current item if STICKY_LIST is ON [see page 32].

If any items in the packet have been tagged, the ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT keys
will cause LNET-II to jump to the previous/next tagged item.  As with the
CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT keys, ALT+LEFT/RIGHT will place an item at the top of the
list, and will make it the current item if STICKY_LIST is ON.

The "Tag" column indicates an item's flags in the packet index file - 'T'
indicates a tagged item, 'D' indicates an item which has been marked to be
deleted, and 'M' indicates an item which matched the last search criteria.

Note: The /LOMEM command line option disables the ALT+F and ALT+N command
keys in the item list, and ALT+L will list node numbers only, with no BBS
details.

list screen to cancel it.

Reference: Pages 17, 18, 19
PL Packet List Screen
; Called from packet list screen
Use the cursor pad keys to select a packet, then hit ENTER, or press ESCAPE
to exit to DOS.  If the selected packet is readable, LNET-II will load it by
pre-scanning it and creating a temporary index file.  Packets and individual
items are validated according to certain specifications [see LN2V100.DOC]
and any packet corruptions will usually be fully repaired.  If file locking
is available on your system [multitasking or LAN environments, or SHARE.EXE
loaded], the packet will be locked and no other processes will have access
to it until the packet is closed.

showing all 16 text colors in your chosen palette values.  Press ESC to keep
your settings and return to the config menu.

These values DO NOT apply to the text colors in the 25, 43, or 50-line
modes, nor do they apply to the GUI screens or pull-down menus.

F3 F3: Tag Commands Menu
; Called from main F1 screen
The F3 key brings up the TAG COMMANDS MENU.  From this menu, you can control
item tagging and - if you are registered - perform various batch processes
on tagged items.  In registered copies, tagged items can be deleted,
restored, extracted, and searched.  In unregistered copies, tags can be used
only to mark items for reading [by using the ALT+LEFT/RIGHT keys to jump to
the previous/next tagged item].  More detailed help is available from the
tag command menu and in LN2V100.DOC.

The spacebar is used to tag individual items at the main screen and in the
ALT+I item list screen.  The search features can also be used to tag all
items which match the defined search criteria [see page 35].

TAGS Tag Commands Menu
; Called from F3 tag command menu
The tag command menu allows you to control item tagging and - if you are
registered - perform various batch processes on tagged items.  Type the
letter corresponding to the desired command.  You will then be given "Start
at item" and "End at item" prompts; enter the starting and ending item
numbers for the range you wish to process.  By default, processing starts at
the first item in the packet and ends at the last item.

You may also tag items with the spacebar at the main screen and in the ALT+I
item list screen [see page 13].  The search features can also be used to tag
all items which match the defined search criteria [see page 35].

The 'T' key lets you tag a range of items.  'U' lets you untag a range of
items.  'I' lets you "invert" or toggle the tags in a range of items.  The
'M' key will tag all items which matched the most recent search criteria
[assuming a search form is currently defined].  'D' performs a mass-delete
of tagged items.  'R' performs a mass-restore of tagged items.  'E' performs
a mass-extract of tagged items.  'S' applies the current search criteria
only to tagged items.

In the "Tag" column of the item list screen, 'T' indicates a tagged item,
'D' indicates an item marked for deletion, and 'M' indicates an item which
matches the most recent search criteria.  These flags are also shown for
each item in check boxes on the main screen.

Unregistered copies cannot use item tags to perform batch processing - this
applies to the delete, restore, extract, and search functions.  They can use
tags only for reading items, by using the ALT+LEFT/RIGHT keys to jump to the
previous/next tagged item.

Reference: Page 38
SPACE SpaceBar: Toggle Tag
; Called from main F1 screen
The spacebar toggles the "tag" for the current item.  Tags can be used to
perform batch processes - delete, restore, search, and/or extract.  They can
also be used to select groups of items for reading - the ALT+LEFT/RIGHT keys
will jump to the previous/next tagged item.

The F3 command key at the main screen brings up the TAG COMMANDS MENU, where
batch processes and tag control can be performed.  See page 38 in the user
manual LN2V100.DOC for more details on the item tagging and batch process
features.

F10 F10: Define Search Form [REGISTERED ONLY]
; Called from main F1 screen
The F10 key brings up the SEARCH FORM, where you can define various criteria
on which LNET-II will search for items.  F10 can be used at the main screen
and at the F3 "Tag Commands" menu.  More detailed help is available from
within the search form itself and in LN2V100.DOC.

Reference: Page 35
SF Search Form [REGISTERED ONLY]
; Called from search form
The search form allows you to define various criteria on which LNET-II will
search for items.  Numeric fields [Main Type, Minor Type, Age, Size, and
Method] may use logical symbols.  For example: Main Type <= 10 finds items
whose main types are 10 or less.

Alphanumeric fields [SubType, Text] may not use logical symbols.  "To" and
"From" fields must be formatted as user@node [i.e.  123@4567] or as @node
[i.e.  @1234] and may not use logical symbols.  The "Text" field searches an
item's text segment, including the headers of posts and e-mails.  Text
searches are NOT case-sensitive!  [Uppers and lowers are considered equal.]

The "Deleted" toggle tells LNET-II to include deleted items in its searches.
["Deleted" in this context refers to items having main type 65535, which
means they were already deleted when the packet was loaded.]  The "Match On
All" toggle forces LNET-II to match ALL defined [non-blank] fields.  If
"Match On All" is OFF, then LNET-II only requires a match on any one of the
defined fields in order to consider an item "found."

When the form has been defined, press ESCAPE to return to the main screen or
tag command menu.  LNET-II will then scan the entire packet and mark all
items which match the defined criteria.  If any items do match the search
criteria, then the CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT keys can be used at the main
screen and in the item text display to jump to the previous/next matching
item.  LN2V100.DOC contains more detailed instructions on using the search
features.

^ARROW CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT: Execute Search [REGISTERED ONLY]
; Called from main F1 screen
The CTRL+LEFT and CTRL+RIGHT keys allow you to search for the previous/next
item which matches the defined search criteria.  In order for these keys to
work, a search pattern must already be defined [F10 key at the main screen].
These keys can be used at the main screen, in the ALT+I item list, and in
the item text display.  See LN2V100.DOC for detailed instructions on
defining searches.

Reference: Page 35
@ARROW ALT+LEFT/RIGHT: Previous/Next Tagged Item
; Called from main F1 screen
The ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT keys allow you to jump to the previous/next
tagged item [provided, of course, there are items tagged].  Items may be
tagged with the spacebar at the main screen and in the ALT+I item list, and
can also be tagged from the F3 "tag commands" menu and by the F10 search
function [search features require registration].

Note that these commands can only be executed from the gray secondary cursor
control pad on extended AT-class keyboards - do not use the arrow keys in
the numeric keypad.  Since XT-class keyboards do not have this secondary
cursor pad, they cannot be used for the ALT+LEFT/RIGHT commands.

ALT+LEFT and ALT+RIGHT can be used at the main screen, in the ALT+I item
list, and while reading item text.

NONEX Nonexistent Node List
; Called from nonexistent node list editor
This list shows the nonexistent nodes which have been referenced in items'
destinations in the current packet.  [LNET-II does not check items' origin
nodes to see whether they exist; it checks destination nodes only.]  Note
that these nodes are considered nonexistent only because they were not found
in the current network's BBSDATA.NET file - they MIGHT actually exist and
might be unknown to your system simply because you have not yet received an
update containing their data.

The list shows node numbers, the number of items in which each node is
referenced, the ages [in days] of the oldest and newest items found for each
node, and the "cutoff age" after which items for each node will be deleted.
By default, nodes in the list do not have a cutoff age, so all references to
them will be deleted.  A cutoff age may be defined for a node by selecting
it with the cursor keys and pressing ENTER; the allowable range is 0 to 999
days.  The cutoff age can be toggled with the spacebar.  When it is OFF for
a node, the list will show "-DelAll-" and all references to that node will
be deleted regardless of items' ages.  When it is ON, references to that
node will be deleted only if the item is older than the cutoff age.

When referring to item ages in the nonexistent node list, LNET-II considers
one day to be 24 hours prior to the current date and time, so a cutoff age
of "0 Days" will cause all items newer than 24 hours to be saved!  Use the
spacebar to toggle "DelAll" ON if you want to delete all references to the
selected node.

The ALT+D key can be used to delete a node from the list.  This will cause
LNET-II to save all references to that node.  The ALT+C key will completely
clear the list.

When you have finished editing the node list, press ESC to return to the
main screen and continue with the packet rewrite process.  LNET-II will
rewrite the packet, saving all items for existing nodes, and deleting
references to nonexistent nodes based on the settings you have defined.  If
this list was called via the ALT+C command key [see page 16], and the new
packet contains at least one item after the rewrite process, then LNET-II
will reload the packet.
