In this section we will cover the bulletin subsystem. Bulletins are text files
that provide you with timely information about a variety of topics. These may
include instructions for new users, upcoming events, and other material that
the SYSOP would like to bring to your attention. Bulletins may be read at the
time of log on, or at any time using the "B" command.
When you enter the "B" command, the following prompt will appear:
Read what bulletin(s), L)ist, N)ew, (ENTER=none)?
Entering "N" will display any new bulletins posted by the SYSOP since the last
time you logged on.
Entering "L" will list all of the bulletins available.
You can read a single bulletin by entering its number, or read a series of
bulletins by entering each number separated by a semicolon. For example,
entering {C41;3;7 {C0will display bulletins 1, 3 and 7.

You can also "stack" bulletin commands. For example, if you enter {C4B;3;5 {C0at
the main menu prompt, the system will enter the bulletin subsystem and display
bulletins 3 and 5.
As you use the bulletin subsystem, there are a couple of points to keep in
mind:
1. You may find it useful to capture bulletins to disk on your personal
computer for later viewing. "Capture to disk" is a valuable feature
available on many communications programs (e.g., Qmodem, Crosstalk).
2. Some SYSOPs make their bulletins available on the Files System for
downloading.
This concludes the Bulletin Subsystem Tutorial. Please feel free to address any
questions concerning bulletins to the Sysop
