│ We set up this sub-board to demonstrate Bulletron's capabilities as │
│ a technical support forum. We set up a number of file directories │
│ on this sub-board. Enter an "F" command to see a list of them. You │
│ can have up to 35 file directories on each Bulletron sub-board. The │
│ limiting factor is the number of letters and numerals in the English │
│ alphabet that can be used for menu selections, and still have single │
│ keystroke hot-keys. We made a matchmaker for this sub-board that │
│ asks questions about a person's technical experience and abilities │
│ to help people looking for assistance locate the right individuals │
│ to help them. We set message purge on this forum to zero so that │
│ the system continually builds a database of technical information │
│ that people can search using the "SS" and "RS" commands. The system │
│ operator can go through the discussions on this sub-board │
│ periodically and edit them to remove remarks not relevant to the │
│ main topic, or delete irrelevant discussions. The message summary │
│ is set to "B" because callers may skip over this sub-board going to │
│ the more popular Dial-Your-Match sub-board, and they might miss some │
│ discussions with an "L" type summary. │
│ │
│ The message that you are reading right now is named "HELPOS2". You │
│ can make a help message like this for each sub-board. Name the │
│ files "HELPbbb.UTL", where "bbb" is the three character sub-board │
│ abbreviation. Then use the BBUTIL program, function "H" to load all │
│ the "*.UTL" files on your disk into messages on your "utilities" │
│ sub-board. │
