@X0ADescription:@X0F  @X02Allows reading messages left on the system.  All public messages
@X0F              @X02will be displayed, along with private messages left either by you
@X0F              @X02or for you.  If a message has more display lines than what your
@X0F              @X02(P)age Length is set for, a "(H)elp, More?" prompt will appear
@X0F              @X02asking for your input.  Multiple message numbers to read can be
@X0F              @X02entered on the same command line if desired.  Additionally,
              combinations of the above commands can be entered on the same
              command line if desired.

@X0EExamples:

 @X0C * R S <enter>

    The above command will read all mail that is new since you last read
    mail in this message base.

 @X0C * R Y S <enter>

    The above command will read all mail that is addressed to you that is new
    since you last read mail in this message base.

 @X0C * R 1+ <enter>

    The above command will read all messages from #1 to the end.

 @X0C * R 1 5 10 20 <enter>

    The above command will read messages 1, 5, 10 and 20 and then stop.


@X0C  * R L <enter>

@X0F @X07   The above command will read all mail in reverse order from beginning to
@X0F @X07   end.

@X0C  * TS A 1+ <enter>
    PCBoard & LANtastic <enter>

@X0F @X07   The above commands will search thru every available message in ALL
@X0F @X07   conferences areas you are set to scan for any message that has both
@X0F @X07   the word "PCBoard" AND the word "LANtastic" in it.

@X0C  * TS A 1+ <enter>
    PCBoard & (LANtastic | DESQview) <enter>

@X0F @X07   The above commands will search thru every available message in ALL
@X0F @X07   conferences areas you are set to scan for any message that has both
@X0F @X07   the word "PCBoard" AND either the word "LANtastic" OR the word
@X0F @X07   "DESQview" in it.

@X0F @X07   The parenthesis tell PCBoard how you want to group your criteria if
@X0F @X07   you have a complex search request such as the one above.  It will
@X0F @X07   allow for nearly any number of parens and any combination of AND's
@X0F @X07   (using the "&" character) and OR's (using the "|" character).

@X0C  * TS A 1+ USER JOHN DOE <enter>
    PCBoard & Help <enter>

    The above command (similar to examples above) adds the keyword USER
    to the command line specifying that only messages that are either
    TO or FROM John Doe should be displayed if they are found to have
    both the words PCBoard and Help in them.

    The above command will capture all messages in all conferences since
    the last message read, compress the capture file and the begin the
