[_SHOW][?]
 Puts you in HELP MODE.  Press [LightCyan]ENTER [Htext]to return to NORMAL MENU.

[_SHOW][MAIN][B]
 Takes you to the Bulletin Menu.

[_OUTSIDE]
 Opus 1.7x, like previous Opus versions, allows you to go "Outside" the
 board.  However, while both the DOS and RUN options are still supported,
 1.7x adds SDOS and SRUN.  If you use SRUN/SDOS in place of RUN/DOS, Opus
 will ignore LASTUSER.DAT after the program runs.

[_OUTSIDE][SYSOP][R]
 Takes you to a Remote DOS drop from the Sysop Menu.

[_PICK_SECTION]
 Change from current SECTION to this one.
 
[_PICK_SECTION][A]
 ALL AREAS/RESET section cancels any section you've been in previously,
 and opens up the entire board to you again.  You'll have no sections
 installed and so the AREA command will display ALL areas.   Use this
 if you suspect any changes to the message or file areas.
 
[_PICK_SECTION][L]
 Set the current section to local message and file areas.
 This generally include just the basic areas needed to communicate on the
 system.

[_STACK]
 Setsup the stacking of specific commands.
 
[_GOODBYE]
 Log off the board...Hangs up phone.
 
 When you choose to say Goodbye, the board will ask if you're sure.  If you
 say yes, you'll be asked if you'd like to leave a log-off message, and
 again you'll have a yes or no choice.
 
 Type [Hkey]GYY [Htext]to log off and leave SysOp a message.
 
 Type [Hkey]GYN [Htext]to log off without leaving a parting message.
 
[_STATS]
 This command will display your statistics on the board.  (Number of times
 you've called, time remaining, etc.)

[_YELL]
 Causes the Sysop's computer to start beeping.  The Sysop can come to
 the keyboard and type directly and interactively with you, the caller.
 (This is also known as "chat" mode.)  This only works during certain hours
 and only if it is a remote connection.
 
[_USERLIST]
 Displays any or all users based on matching a string of characters
 you enter.  If you just choose [Hkey]U)[Htext]ser's Names, you'll be told how
 many callers there are on the board, and asked whether you want to see
 a complete list.  You can also choose to have the board search for a
 specific string.
 
 For example, entering [Hkey]U DOR [Htext]might list:[Htext]
 
         DORothy Gale
         DORian Gray
         The DORmouse
 
[_VERSION]
 Displays the version of Opus currently operating the board, the Operating
 System in use, and gives some credits where credit's due.
 
 
[CHG_AREA]
 Lets you select another area.  If you just type "[Hkey]A[Htext]" you'll be asked
 to either enter an area Number or Name, or if you want the Next area,
 Previous area, or a list of all the areas.  To see the list of all available
 areas, just hit ENTER.
 
 Don't miss the feature of changing to a new area by it's NAME.  When you use
 an [Hkey]A [Htext]for Area Change while in either a message or file area, you can be
 automagically transported to that area.  So, if you're in a message area, and
 want to go to Private Mail (Area #2), you can type:  [Hkey]A 2 [Htext](for Area #2) or
 [Hkey]A PRIVATE[Htext].  The "key words" are in purple on the left at each area menu.
 
 [Hkey]In Message Areas[Htext]
 If you're in a message area, you can jump to a SPECIFIC MESSAGE by "stacking"
 the commands.  This simply means that you can type [Hkey]A 3 36 [Htext]to go directly to
 message Area 3, message #36.
 
 [Hkey]In File Areas[Htext]
 You don't have to be in the area where the file is to download it.  If you're
 in the wrong area, the board will automagically jump to the correct one!
 
[_SYSOP_MESSAGE]
 Lets you leave a private comment to the Sysop.  This is exactly like the
 log-off comment, except that you're returned to the board when you're done
 entering your message.
 
[_MAIN]
 Go to the MAIN MENU or Quit this area.
 
[_CONFIG]
 Takes you to the CHANGE SETUP Section.
 
 This is the Menu where you can tell the board how you want info sent
 to you.  Included in the Change Setup (Configuration) Menu is the
 width and length of your screen, your ability to view ANSI, etc.
 
[_SYSOP]
 Take you to the Sysop Menu...but you knew that already, didn't you?  :)
 
[_MESSAGE]
 Takes you to the MESSAGE Areas of the board.  Read each area's Menu
 to find out if the area is Public, Private, Echo, or Local messages, etc.
 
 Don't miss the feature of changing to a message area by it's NAME.  When
 you use an [Hkey]A [Htext]for Area Change while in a Message section, you can be
 automagically transported to that area.  So, if you want to go to the
 Stephen King Message Area, you can type:
 
 [Hkey]A 40 [Htext](for Area #40) or [Hkey]A KING[Htext].  The "key words" are in purple at each
 message area menu.
 
[_FILE]
 Takes you to the FILES Areas of the board.
 
 Don't miss the feature of changing to a file area by it's NAME.  When
 you use an [Hkey]A [Htext]for Area Change while in a File section, you can be
 automagically transported to that area.  So, if you want to go to the
 Recent Uploads Area, you can type:
 
 [Hkey]A 1 [Htext](for Area #1) or [Hkey]A RECENT[Htext].  The "key words" are in purple at each
 file area menu.
 
[_HISTORY]
 Your personal History here on the board.  This is where you can change your
 password, listed address, phone number, birthday, etc.
 
[_SECTION]
 If you prefer to pretty much stay within your interests on a board, this is
 the thing for you.  What the Sections do is give you the ability to choose
 a group of areas, and then not even have to LOOK at message and file areas
 that aren't within your choice group.
 
 There are two types of Sections: Preset by the Sysop, and Personal, set
 by you, the caller.
 
 The Preset Sections have been setup by type...so all the Genealogy areas,
 both messages and files, make up the Genealogy Section, etc.  You can
 choose a Preset Section, or setup your own Personal Section that only
 includes the areas you're interested in.
 
 [Hkey]REMEMBER: [Htext]When you're in a Section, only the areas of that Section are
 available to you.  You're in your chosen Section until you change it.  Of
 course, you can change Sections at any time.
 
[SET_HELP]
 This is where you tell the board how much menu information you need.
 
 There are four help levels:
 
 [LightCyan]NOVICE[Htext]    -  A lot of help with Full Menus
 [LightCyan]REGULAR[Htext]   -  First letter of each command only.
 [LightCyan]EXPERT[Htext]    -  No Menus at all.
 [LightCyan]HITECH[Htext]    -  Top of Screen, One line Only Menus
 
 A suggestion would be to not base your decision here solely on your
 experience level.  If you like to keep current on new additions to
 Menus, NOVICE will show you a new Menu item much more quickly than
 any of the others.
 
[SET_NULLS]
 Nulls are ASCII 0's that some slower terminals need to keep up with
 the board.  If you're using a personal computer, chances are you don't
 need to worry about nulls.
 
[SET_WIDTH]
 Tells the board how many characters across your monitor is capable of
 displaying.  This is taken into consideration for message displays ONLY.
 Bulletins, file listings, etc. are always displayed assuming you have 80
 columns.  Sorry folks, it's called PROGRESS.
 
[SET_LEN]
 You can tell the board how many lines your screen can hold before pausing
 and asking you [Hkey]More (Y,n)?.  [Htext]The normal length of a full size screen
 is 24 or 25 lines, and the normal length of a laptop display is 17 or 18
 lines.  Of course, if you have the MORE option set to OFF, the length
 setting really doesn't matter.
 
[SET_TABS]
 Turns TAB display on or off.
 [Hkey]
 TABS ON:  [Htext]Tabs are sent as tabs.  Your communication software must
           be able to handle tabs correctly, or the spacing on your
           screen won't look right.  Screen output is faster with
           Tabs ON.
 [Hkey]
 TABS OFF: [Htext]Tabs are sent as a sequence of 8 spaces.  Slower, but
           more reliable.
 
 [Htext]Try it both ways and see which works best for you.
 
[SET_MORE]
 Turns the [Hkey]"More (Y,n)"? [Htext]prompt on or off.
 [Hkey]
 MORE ON:   [Htext]The board will display the number of lines equal to your
            L)ength of screen setting, then ask "More (Y,n)?" at the
            bottom of the screen.
 [Hkey]
 MORE OFF:  [Htext]Most information is displayed non-stop.  You can still
            pause the display using CONTROL-S to pause and any other
            key to resume the display.
 
 [Htext]Two things to Note:
 
 The capital letter [Hkey](Y,n) [Htext]in an Opus question is always the default
 answer, so hitting ENTER in this case would default to the [Hkey]Y [Htext]command.
 
 If you have More set ON and are browsing a file list, you will see
 [Hkey]"More (Y,n,=)"? [Htext]which is asking you if you want More or not, and also
 giving you the choice of viewing this list with a continuous scroll.
 Choose the offered [Hkey]"=" [Htext]to scroll the list non-stop without affecting
 your "More" choice in other areas.
 
[SET_VID]
 Chooses the video mode Opus uses.
 
 The choices are:
 
       [Hkey]P [Htext]Plain - Normal TTY Output
       [Hkey]A [Htext]Ansi Graphics (VT100 Emulation)
       [Hkey]O [Htext]Opus Mode (AVATAR Video)
 
 If the word [LightRed]RED [Htext]on this line is highlighted or in color, then your computer
 understands ANSI graphics commands.  Keep GRAPHICS ON.  If, however, you see
 something like "[[31;1mRED" above, then your computer is ignoring the ANSI
 commands.  Keep Plain Video Mode.
 
[SET_CLS]
 Tells the board to clear the screen when appropriate.
 
 [Hkey]YES:  [Htext]The board will clear your screen from time to time.
 
 [Hkey]NO:   [Htext]Material "scrolls" with no screen clear.
 
[SET_EDIT]
 Opus is now pioneering the concept of the first BBS Full Screen Editor.
 This allows you to enter messages using arrow keys, etc., just like a word
 processor.  If you turn OFF the Full-scrn editor, you will automagically
 be set to use the LORE (line-oriented editor), which is more familiar to
 some callers.
 
 To use the full screen editor, you must have Screen Clear and either:
 
 ANSI Graphics turned ON [Hkey]or [Htext]Blind Caller (Talker) turned ON.
 
 See the help screens for these other selections if you're not sure which to
 choose.
 
[SET_IBM]
 IBM Personal Computers<tm> and compatibles have a set of graphic symbols used
 for line drawing, foreign languages, and scientific notation. Other computers
 or terminals cannot usually display them.
 
        ╔═══════════╗        ┌───┬───┬───┬───┐       ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
        ║  Montréal ║        │░░░│▒▒▒│▓▓▓│███│       ▌ αßΓπΣσµ  ▐
        ╚═══════════╝        └───┴───┴───┴───┘       ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
       Double Line Box       Single Line Boxes      Solid Line Box
         Accented 'e'       Dark,Lo,Med,Hi Bars     Greek Letters
 
 The above diagrams should appear as three types of continous line boxes, each
 containing additional examples of the special IBM graphic symbols.
 
 [Hkey]If Not:  [Htext]Toggle [Hkey]NO [Htext]and Opus will simulate graphics with normal text.
 [Hkey]If Yes:  [Htext]Toggle [Hkey]YES [Htext]and Opus will send graphics, unaltered.
 
[SET_DEF]
 You can choose a default protocol with this command, and the board will
 always use that one until you choose another.  Setting this command will
 cause Opus to not present protocol choices to you when you choose to
 start a download while in the files areas of the board.
 
[SET_TALK]
 This option is for those callers who use a screen reader and/or speech
 synthesizer to visit the board.  However, it's also helpful if you're
 calling from a computer which doesn't allow you to use ANSI graphics
 (which confuse a speech synthesizer).
 
 Choosing to turn Talker ON will eliminate ANSI (color) from your screen,
 but will still allow you to use the full screen editor.  Without Talker ON,
 you'll only be able to use the line editor for your messages if you don't
 have ANSI.
 
[SET_MENU]
 Choosing to turn this option ON will enable you to automagically
 return to where ever you left off last call.
 
 So, if you have Return Menu set to ON, and say Goodbye from the Recent
 Uploads file area, then on your next call you'll skip the Main Menu
 and go directly to Recent Uploads.
 
[SET_ASKGRAPH]
 This command, when set to ON, will have the board ask you what type
 of graphics you want EVERY time you call in.
 
 This is useful to those callers who call in from several different types
 of terminals, and may be a pain for you if you usually call from the same
 terminal and setup.
 
[SET_KEYS]
 Setting this option will allow you to have "Hot Keys" at any help level.
 All "hot keys" means is that you don't have to hit the ENTER key after
 your selection at a Menu, so choosing this option will save you one
 whopping keystroke for each Menu choice you make.
 
[SET_GMENUS]
 With this selection, you choose to view any extra menus, screens, etc
 that the Sysop has setup for viewing.
 
[SET_BLOCK]
 This command will block the interline chat feature, telling other
 callers that you don't want to chat on-line with them.
 
[SET_TIME]
 When you choose Showtime, the board will do just that - show you your time
 remaining at each Menu prompt.  So, instead of seeing:
 
 [Hkey]MAIN MENU:[Htext]
 
 you'd see:
 
 [Hkey]MAIN MENU: (23)[Htext]
 
 Where the (23) would tell you that you had 23 minutes of time remaining
 on the board.  This is especially handy if you're calling long distance.
 
[USR_PWD]
 This is where you can change the password you use to enter the board.
 
 Some suggestions:
 
 [Hkey]1. [Htext]Change your password every couple of months.
 [Hkey]2. [Htext]Use a password that's more than 6 characters long.
 [Hkey]3. [Htext]Don't use a word that's found in the dictionary.
 [Hkey]4. [Htext]Don't use your name, or a number associated with you.
 [Hkey]5. [Htext]Feel free to uses numbers, but NO symbols.
 [Hkey]6. [Htext]Upper and lower case make no difference.
 
 You should change your password every month for increased security.
 
[USR_ADDRESS]
 This is where you can update your street address in Opus' user records.
 Only you and the Sysop can read this info.
 
[USR_PHONE]
 This command will allow you to keep your phone number info current in
 the board's records.  Only you and the Sysop can read this info.
 
[USR_CITY]
 You can change the name of the city where you're calling from incase you
 should move and want to keep your file correct, or if you entered it
 wrong and want to correct it.
 
[USR_LIST]
 Changes the way you're listed in the [Hkey]U)[Htext]ser List.
 
[USR_LANG]
 You can change the language of your Menus on the board if more than one
 language is offered.  If you choose to do this, please make sure you know
 enough of the language you've choosen so you can get back here to change it
 again.  (Just incase you discover you're not as familiar with the new language
 as you thought.)    :)
 
 Changing your language here ONLY affects the Menus...not the messages or file
 lists.  The default language for first-time callers is determined by the Sysop.
 If only 1 language is available, this is not displayed.
 
[USR_ALIAS]
 This is the command to choose/change your alias on the board.
 
[USR_BIRTHDAY]
 This command will enable you to enter your birthday for the Sysop's
 records.  Only you and the Sysop will have access to it.
 
[USR_ANSWER]
 This allows you to update or add your answer to the Sysop question
 asked when you first called.  If you weren't asked a specific question
 when you first called, here's your chance.   :)
 
[USR_NAME]
 This command allows you to change your log-on name on the board.
 
[MSG_FRWD]
 Creates a new copy of a message and sends it to another person.  You're
 asked which message you want to Forward, if it will be in the same
 message area (and if not, which one), and to whom the message is being
 sent.  If you're in the Matrix area, you can forward a message to
 another net/node.
 
 The original message is left intact, and only a copy of it is sent
 to the specified person.  The new copy will show who the Original message
 was TO and FROM.
 
 The forwarded message can be hurled to another area at the same time,
 and the caller does NOT have to have access to the destination area.  For
 a bombing run (mailing list), use the command [Hkey]FB[Htext].
 
[MSG_FORWARD]
 Creates a new copy of a message and sends it to another person.  You're
 asked which message you want to Forward, if it will be in the same
 message area (and if not, which one), and to whom the message is being
 sent.  If you're in the Matrix area, you can forward a message to
 another net/node.
 
 The original message is left intact, and only a copy of it is sent
 to the specified person.  The new copy will show who the Original message
 was TO and FROM.
 
 The forwarded message can be hurled to another area at the same time,
 and the caller does NOT have to have access to the destination area.  For
 a bombing run (mailing list), use the command [Hkey]FB[Htext].
 
[MSG_PRIOR]
 Read the message PRIOR to the last one you read.  After you select this,
 pressing ENTER alone will continue to show you each prior message, so
 you'll be moving BACKWARDS through the messages.
 
 Remember, when you want to go forward, you will need to type the [Hkey]N [Htext]key
 for [Hkey]N)[Htext]ext message.  You can also go directly to a message by simply
 typing the number of the message.
 
[MSG_PARENT]
 After reading a "reply" message, you can use the [Hkey]"-"[Htext]command to display
 the original message...the one that generated the reply.  Reply messages
 are chained together, and this command allows you to read backwards
 through the chain.
 
[MSG_CHILD]
 Read the "reply" message to the last message read, if there is one.  Reply
 messages are linked together like a chain.  This command allows you to read
 forward to follow the thread of the messages and their replies.
 
[MSG_NEXT]
 Read the next message forward from the last you read.  Pressing ENTER will
 do this automagically, so you don't have to keep typing [Hkey]"N" at every
 message prompt.
 
[MSG_NONSTOP]
 Read all messages non-stop, starting at the last message read.  The
 board will NOT pause between messages, but will scroll them to screen
 from where you are to the end of messages in that area.
 
 This command is useful if your computer can capture text from the screen
 and store it on disk ("capture buffer").  You can capture all the messages
 available, hang up, and read them on your own time at your own pace.
 Check your communication software docs for more details.
 
[MSG_EDIT_NEW]
 Allows you to enter messages to other callers.
 
 REMEMBER, some message areas are "echos", and so are copied to boards
 all over the world.  If you disagree with a stated opinion, you have
 the right to say you disagree, but not to attack the other caller
 personally...thereby embarrassing yourself in front of hundreds of
 thousands of people.
 
 If you've chosen to enter a message to someone, and are told there's no
 such person, then you're not in an "echo" area.  If you're told this
 while trying to enter a message, you're in a non-echo message area and
 the board is telling you that you can only enter messages to others who
 call the board...and that there's no person with that name in the user
 records.
 
[MSG_EDIT_REPLY]
 Allows you to enter a "reply" message to the last message you read.
 The message will automagically be addressed to the correct person.
 
[MSG_UPLD]
 This command allows text files to be uploaded directly into the Message
 area via the XModem file transfer protocol.
 
 You compose your message off-line using the text editor of your choice but
 you must save your message in ASCII format.  Then, you would use the [Hkey]"U"[Htext]
 command at the menu to let the board know you're going to [Hkey]U)[Htext]pload a message.
 You'll be asked to enter the TO, FROM and SUBJECT then there will be a prompt
 for you to begin the upload.
 
 Messages to be uploaded must be [Hkey]3K or less[Htext], otherwise, the board will not
 accept the message.  If it is accepted, it will save itself.
 
[MSG_LAST]
 Allows you to read the current message again.  Choosing this will cause
 the board to re-display the last message you read.
 
[MSG_LIST]
 The List command can be used in several ways: [Hkey]L, LV, LV*, and L*[Htext].  The
 [Hkey]L [Htext]alone will give you a brief listing as to who wrote the message,
 to whom, and if it has been recieved.  It also gives the date and time it was
 written. By using the [Hkey]V [Htext]command with the [Hkey]L, (LV) [Htext]it will also show
 you the subject of the message.  By using the [Hkey]* (L* or LV*) [Htext]it would give
 you the same listing, but since your last call.
 
 For example, let's say there are 210 messages in the area, but you want to List
 the last 10 messages only...no prob!  Just type [Hkey]LV200[Htext] or [Hkey]L200[Htext] ---
 
 Experiment!  The List command can save you lots o' time while reading messages.
 
[MSG_SCAN]
 This is a really sloooooooooooow scan to check mail for you.  Also, Scan
 is ONLY available to you if you're in a Section.  See the available help on
 Sections for more info about them.
 
 If you're determined to use "Scan" though, there are a couple of ways you
 can do it:
 [Hkey]
 "S"[Htext]    will scan ALL areas for messages you have waiting, and list them
        by area number and message number.
 [Hkey]
 "SV"[Htext]   will do a tedious job of locating all your mail, recieved and
        not yet recieved, plus gives you a listing of where they're located.
 [Hkey]
 "SV*" [Htext]and [Hkey]"S*"  [Htext]will do the same as above, except they'll look for new mail
                 since your last call.
 
[MSG_INQ]
 The [Hkey]I [Htext]command will search the TO, FROM and SUBJECT lines for your choice.
 So, if you type [Hkey]I Dorothy [Htext]you might see:
 
 [LightCyan]Searching for DOROTHY
 [Htext]#107  [LightCyan]TO [Hkey]DOROTHY [Gray]Gale
     [LightCyan]FROM [Gray]The Scarecrow
  [LightCyan]SUBJECT [Gray]Re: Apple Gathering
 [Htext]
 When it finds what it's looking for, it will show you the info in CAPS, and which
 message # to refer to.  Inquire also allows use of "wildcard" characters:
 
 [Hkey]? - [Htext]matches ANY single character; i.e. "Th?t" finds "This" & "That"
 [Hkey]* - [Htext]matches any number of instances of the same character; i.e.
     "x*yz" finds "xyz","yz", and "xxyz"
 [Hkey]+ - [Htext]matches one or more instances of a single character; i.e.
     "x+yz" finds "xyz"  and "xxyz"
 
 To find a LITERAL question mark, asterisk or plus sign, precede it with a
 backslash, i.e. "\?", "\*", "\+"
 
[MSG_KILL]
 Allows you to delete a message if it's written by you, or to you.
 
 If the message is not private to you, and concerns a topic that other
 callers might be interested in, you might consider leaving it there.
 BBSs are for conversations!
 
[MSG_HURL]
 Lets you move a message from one message area to another.  The source and
 destination file areas MUST be on the same drive.
 
[MSG_BOMB]
 Bomb that message.
 
[MSG_XPRT]
 This command allows you to save messages to a disk file for future reference.
 You can append to the disk file by typing a [Hkey]"+" [Htext]before the filename when
 prompted for the file's name.
 
 This command is usually reserved for the Sysop because Opus believes you...
 it doesn't check to make sure the destination is there.  So, if you send a
 message to LPT1, and the printer is off, the system wil hang.  This command
 will also overwrite existing files without asking you if you forget to
 put the [Hkey]"+" [Htext]before an existing file name.
 
[MSG_QUICK]
 When you choose this option, the board will search forward in the message
 area for any mail that's addressed to you, and then will automagically show
 you the message.
 
[MSG_QINQ]
 This command will have the board search forward in the current message
 area looking for the match to a string you enter.  When the board finds
 a match, it will display the message(s).
 
 The board will remember the last string you've entered (even if you've
 changed message areas), so you can just hit ENTER for continue with your
 search if the first one found isn't the one you're looking for, or if you
 want to search further.
 
[MSG_RULES]
 This menu choice will display the rules of the echo, provided the echo
 moderator has entered any.  If there aren't any rules on file for this area,
 you won't see this menu choice.
 
[MSG_NAREA]
 This command will automagically transport you to the next message area
 where there are messages you haven't read.  Unless you call often, or
 routinely read all the messages, you may want to only use this while in a
 Section.  For info on Sections, check out the help commands available for
 the Sections.
 
[MSG_HELP]
 Loads a HELP file that is SPECIFIC to the current message area.  If one is
 NOT available, the standard help file is shown.
 
[SYS_MAIL]
 Matrix Information shows you a quick overview of your outbound area status.
 Here's an example of the outbound screen:
 
 Only local calls allowed Only calls to nodes that accept mail
  │ ┌───┘  ┌─── File Requests allowed

 [Htext]
 The matrix management screen also allows you to generate a poll to a node,
 unpack existing bundles, scan echomail message areas, and clear any nodes
 that are marked as undialable.
 
[F_LOCATE]
 Use this command to find a file based on a short sequence of characters.
 Locate checks both the file name AND the description of the file, and it
 checks [Hkey]ALL [Htext]the file areas, not just the current one.
 
 So, if you type [Hkey]L WOZ[Htext], you might get this:
 [Cyan]20 .. Adventure Stories
 [Hkey]WOZ.Zip       [Magenta]338708 [Green]07-14-91  [LightCyan]Story of my Adventures
 [Green]Uploaded by: Dorothy Gale             [LightCyan]On: [Green]07-14-91 [Red]Times: [LightCyan]1
 
 [Cyan]21 .. Windows Icons
 [Hkey]Doticons.Zip  [Magenta]100708 [Green]07-14-91  [LightCyan]WOZ Icons
 [Green]Uploaded by: Dorothy Gale             [LightCyan]On: [Green]07-14-91 [Red]Times: [LightCyan]2
 [Htext]
 Locate doesn't use wildcards, so to find a file when you're not sure
 of it's name, just type a bit of what you THINK is the name or what
 might be in the description.
 
[F_TITLES]
 This command will list the files available in the current file area.  Also
 lists the file's size in bytes, date uploaded, and a short description. If
 the file is new since your last call, you'll see a flashing asterisk "[Green][Blink]*[Htext]"
 next to the date uploaded.
 
[F_DSPL]
 Will cause a text file to be typed to the screen for on-line reading, or
 capturing into a buffer.  (Check your communication software docs for
 details).  The command only works with text files.
 
[F_DNLD]
 Tells the board to send a file to you, if your communication software
 allows this.  Check your software's docs, but most do.
 
 Downloading (Receiving) files is a two part process...you have to tell the
 board what you're going to do, then you have to tell YOUR computer what
 you're going to do:
 
 [Hkey]1.  [Htext]Tell the board you want to [Hkey]D)[Htext]ownload a file.
 [Hkey]2.  [Htext]Select the file transfer protocol you want to use - the board will
     give you a list of available protocols. (Ask the Sysop which
     protocols are most efficient.)
 [Hkey]3.  [Htext]Tell the board the name of the file you want to receive.  (Some
     protocols accept DOS "wildcards".)
 [Hkey]4.  [Htext]Finally, when the board says, "Ready to send...", tell
     your communication program to receive the file.  Make sure you
     tell your computer to use the same protocol you already told
     the board to use!
 
[F_UPLD]
 Lets you send a file from your computer to the board, if your communication
 software lets you.  Check your software's docs.
 
 Uploading (Sending) files is a two part process...you have to tell the
 board what you're going to do, then you have to tell YOUR computer what
 you're going to do:
 
 [Hkey]1.  [Htext]Tell the board you want to [Hkey]U)[Htext]pload a file.
 [Hkey]2.  [Htext]Select the file transfer "protocol" you want to
     use - the board will give you a list of available protocols.
 [Hkey]3.  [Htext]Tell the board the name of the file you'll be sending.
 [Hkey]4.  [Htext]Finally, when the board says, "Ready to receive...", tell
     your communication program to send the file.  Make sure you
     tell your computer to use the same protocol you already told
     the board to use!
 [Hkey]5.  [Htext]At the end of the upload, you'll be prompted for a brief description
     of the file so that other callers will know what it is.
 
[F_RAWDIR]
 This will display a list of ALL files in the subdirectory for this file
 area, whether they're included in FILESBBS.DAT or not.  The [Hkey]R)[Htext]aw Dir
 command will ask for a "File Mask" and wildcards are accepted here.
 
[F_ARCDIR]
 Display the Contents of a file that has been compressed using one of the
 compression programs (.ARC, .ARJ, .LHA, .PAK, .ZIP, or .ZOO).
 
 A compressed file is one that stores either one or several other files inside
 it.  This is to enable you to get the whole program, including the docs, etc,
 by only downloading one file.  For example, you can compress DOROTHY.EXE,
 SCARECROW.DOC, TINMAN.LST, and LION.TXT all into a file called WIZARD.ZIP.  In
 addition to compressing many files into one, compression also makes the final
 file smaller, which saves you time on the board and space on your disk.
 
 The Contents command lets you see what files are inside a compressed one that's
 listed on the board.
 
[F_HURL]
 This command will let you [Hkey]H)[Htext]url a file, with it's description, from
 one file area to another.
 
[F_KILL]
 Allows you to [Hkey]K)[Htext]ill file, either by deleting it totally, or just
 by deleting it from FILESBBS.DAT.  You'll be prompted with these
 questions from the board when choosing this command.
 
[F_DNHANG]
 Using this command will let you start your download, and when the download
 is complete, the board will give you 10 seconds to hit any key.  If you
 don't, the board will automagically say Goodbye for you.  This is a great
 command if you want to start your download and leave your computer to do
 it's thing!
 
[F_NEW]
 Lets you search the entire board for files that have been uploaded since
 your last call.  If you like, you can override this and set a new number
 of days to search through.  If you've already called in once today, and
 use this command, the board will default to a 14 day search and ask you
 if that's acceptable.
 
[F_HELP]
 Loads a HELP file that is SPECIFIC to the current file area.  If one is NOT
 availble the standard help file is shown.
 
[F_TEMP]
 This command is suggested for Sysop use only, as it's used to allow you
 to use a different path for Uploads, Download, Raw, Type and Contents
 commands.  As soon as you change areas, or try to do use the Locate
 command, the normal paths will take over again.  Uploads and Downloads
 in the temporary path will not be included in the Upload or Download
 logs, but will be in the main log file.
 
 This path will be temporary, and will disappear as soon as an area change
 occurs.  Use this with the Adopt option.
 
[F_LONG]
 This command gives you a more detailed listing of the files available. It
 will show you all that the Files command does, plus who uploaded the file,
 when they uploaded it, and how many times the file has been downloaded.
 The listing will be shown like this:
 
 [Hkey]WIZOFOZ.ZIP  [Magenta]338708 [Green]07-14-91    [LightCyan]Story of my Adventures
 [Green]Uploaded by: [Hkey]Dorothy Gale             [LightCyan]On: [Green]07-14-91 [Red]Times: [LightCyan]2
 [Htext]
 On some files, you may see the number of another board...this usually means
 that the file came in via a software distribution channel.
 
[F_ADOPT]
 This command allows you to add files to FILESBBS.DAT from the keyboard.
 You select this command, and Opus will ask you for a file name.  Then,
 it will confirm that you want to add the specified file, and if so,
 it'll ask for a description.
 
 Opus will NOT check to see if the file already exists in FILESBBS.DAT,
 only that it exists in the download directory.
 
 The person who adopts the file is considered to be the uploader.
 
 You can use this command combined with the Temporary Directory command
 to adopt a file that isn't in the download path for the current area.
 So, you can use the Temp Directory first to set the path, then adopt
 the file(s) you want.
 
 Yep...you can use wildcards.
 
[ED_SAVE]
 Saves (sends) the message you've just entered.
 
[ED_ABORT]
 Discards the message you're working on.  It is not saved.
 
[ED_LIST]
 Displays the message you've just entered, with line numbers.
 
[ED_CHG]
 Lets you replace words in your message with other words.
     [Hkey]1. [Htext]Choose the EDIT command from the EDITOR menu.
     [Hkey]2. [Htext]Select the line # you want to correct.
     [Hkey]3. [Htext]Type the letters or words you want to change.
     [Hkey]4. [Htext]Type the letters or words the way you want them to appear.
 
[ED_INSRT]
 Inserts a blank line in your message.  Opus will ask which line should
 be the insert line, and will put the blank line BEFORE the line you choose.
 So, if you've got a message:
 
 [Hkey]1. [Cyan]Dorothy,
 [Hkey]2. [Cyan]Please call me about the apple forest.
 [Hkey]3. [Cyan]Scarecrow
 
 and choose to insert line 3, your message would look like this:
 
 [Hkey]1. [Cyan]Dorothy,
 [Hkey]2. [Cyan]Please call me about the apple forest.
 [Hkey]3.
 4. [Cyan]Scarecrow
 
[ED_DEL]
 Lets you delete any line in your message.  Opus will ask which line number
 you want to delete.
 
[ED_CONT]
 Lets you continue entering your message where you left off.
 
[ED_TO]
 Lets you change the name of the person you're sending your message "To:".
 
[ED_FROM]
 Lets you change the name of who your message is "From:".
 
[ED_SUBJ]
 Lets you change the "Subject:" line of your message.
 
[ED_ATTR]
 Allows you to change a message's "attributes", or the way Opus and Fido
 systems handle the message.  You call up this menu by using the ^KH in
 Oped, or by hitting [LightCyan]ENTER [Htext] on a blank line in LORE.
 
 Selectable attributes are:
 
    [Hkey]P)[Cyan]rivate                       [Hkey]I)[Cyan]n transit
    [Hkey]C)[Cyan]rash/spewmail                [Hkey]O)[Cyan]rphan

    [Hkey]S)[Cyan]ent                          [Hkey]G)[Cyan]ated UUCP Address
 [Htext]
 Note:  You'll only see the "G)ated UUCP Address" choice if you're setup for
 UUCP address functions.   Check the Opus documentation if you need any of
 these selections explained.
 
[ED_DISK]
 Lets you import a file from DISK.  This file must be in ASCII format and
 can't exceed the maximum length set by the SysOp.
 
[ED_UUCP]
 Turn ON/OFF the automatic insertion of the UUCP address string.
 
 
[_MAKE_SECTION]
 This command will allow you to create your own Section on the board.
 You'll only be shown, and have access to, the Section that you put together.
 
 If you prefer to pretty much stay within your interests on a board, this
 is the thing for you.  What the Sections do is give you the ability to
 choose a group of areas, and then not even have to LOOK at message and
 file areas that aren't within your choice group.
 
 REMEMBER: When you're in a Section, ONLY the areas of that Section are
 available to you.  Of course, you can change Sections at any time.
 
[_MY_SECTION]
 This command will put you into the Section you created.  You'll only
 be shown, and have access to, the Section that you put together.

[_SEND_MESSAGE]
 This command will let you send a message to a caller on another line.
 What happens is that the board will look to see who's online (and whether
 or not they have chat blocked) then you can enter your message.
 
 The next time the caller on the other line hits a menu, the board will
 see your message and show it to them.
 
[_SEE_LINES]
 Use this command to see who is on another line.
 
[_SEE_CHAT]
 This command causes the board to check to see if there's a chat-type
 message out there.  If there isn't, you'll be told, "Nothing for you."
 
[_MY_MACRO]
 This command runs the Macro that you've setup previously.  If you haven't
 created a Macro, the board will tell you that it can't run one for you.
 
 There are three types of Macros:  File, Message, and Default.  The File
 Macro will run if you're in a File area, the Message Macro if you're in
 a Message area, and the Default for any other place on the board where
 the Macro command is offered.
 
 If you're unfamiliar with the concept of Macros, here's a small example:
 
 Let's say that you when you want to hang-up from the board, you usually
 do it in the same way:  [Hkey]G[Htext]oodbye, [Hkey]Y[Htext]es I'm sure, and [Hkey]N[Htext]o, I don't want to
 leave a log-off message.  You could create a Macro that, when called,
 would type the keys [Hkey]GYN[Htext].
 
 The above could be used anywhere on the board where the Goodbye command
 is offered, letting you quickly log-off in a legal and friendly way.  Of
 course, you could also setup a File area Macro to [Hkey]D[Htext]ownload, via [Hkey]Z[Htext]Modem, the
 file [Hkey]N[Htext]ewfiles.zip.  Setup would be:  [Hkey]DZNEWFILE.ZIP[Htext].
 
 Experiment!
 
[_MAKE_MACRO]
 This command will let you create a Macro for use anywhere on the board
 except File and Message areas (they each have their own Macros).  The
 board will store up to 15 characters for your macro, and when you choose
 the Macro command at the menu, the board will run whatever's been stored
 by you.
 
 There are three macro fields in your record:  Message, File and Default.

[_MAKE_MSG_MACRO]
 This command will let you create a Macro for use in the Message areas of
 the board.  The board will store up to 15 characters for your macro, and
 when you choose the Macro command at the menu, the board will run
 whatever's been stored by you.

[_MAKE_FILE_MACRO]
 This command will let you create a Macro for use in the File areas of
 the board.  The board will store up to 15 characters for your macro, and
 when you choose the Macro command at the menu, the board will run
 whatever's been stored by you.
