PowerBBS's SCRIPT Capability
----------------------------
Do you seem to logon to PowerBBS, and always do the same thing? For
example, you first go to the mail section and read the latest mail, and then
proceed to the files area and search for the newest files.
PowerBBS's SCRIPT capability, permits you to create a logon script that
is run automatically whenever you call PowerBBS. The script will be
run, permitting you to save time online. After normal logon, and display
of the news, you will INSTANTLY BE BROUGHT TO THE MENU CHOICES YOU SELECT!
To create a script type & at the first PowerBBS menu you get to (it has
to be PowerBBS's first menu, which is usually the MAIN Menu).
You are now is script create mode. All of the commands which you type
will be saved into your script. When you want the script to stop saving
your menu choices, type & at any normal menu.
