-
- In order to accommodate larger memo sizes VBBS uses a disk
- file buffer in the format Bx.TMP, where x is the channel number
- that the user is on. This file is stored in the \VBBS dir. The
- commands used to access the buffer are listed below.
-
- BUFFER APPEND -> BUFFER APPEND <string1>
-
- This adds <string1> to the present buffer.
-
- BUFFER CLEAR <---
-
- This erases the contents of the present buffer.
-
- BUFFER EDIT <---
-
- This command loads up the user's selected editor and puts
- the current contents of the buffer into it. Note: When using
- the full-screen editor the user can edit, add, or clear the
- buffer. The line editor will only allow you to add lines to
- the current buffer or clear it. The user can clear the buffer
- by aborting out of either editor.
-
- BUFFER LIST <---
-
- This prints the current buffer contents to the screen. If
- the user is in ASCII mode then heart-code ANSI is not shown on
- screen but remains within the buffer file.
