│ EBBS Message Area Tips: │
│ │
│ 1) FIRST CALL: First time callers should choose READ FORWARD and │
│ read only the last 10 or so messages in message areas of │
│ interest. This will set your NEW MESSAGES pointer for your next │
│ call. │
│ │
│ 2) ENTER: While reading messages, hitting ENTER will abort the │
│ reading of the current message and skip to following message. │
│ │
│ 3) SPACE: While reading messages, hitting the SPACE BAR will abort │
│ the reading and drop to the READ COMMAND prompt. │
│ │
│ 4) AUTO-PAUSE: If auto-pause is enabled, EBBS will pause every │
│ screenful or so. Be sure to set your SCREEN LINES as desired for │
│ auto pause to work effectively. ENTER or SPACE will resume. │
│ │
│ 5) MANUAL PAUSE: Hitting s, S, * or Ctrl-S will pause all text │
│ outputs. Any key will resume. │
│ │
│ 6) IN GENERAL: I suggest callers simply check into prefferred │
│ message areas and post, reply & read new messages regularly. │
│ │
│ 7) ZIP new messages and DL: This feature allows users to │
│ download their new messages in a ZIP file. Users can then │
│ review them at their leisure, compose offline replies, then │
│ call back and ASCII upload those replies. │
