---------------------------------
Subcommands: (A) (S) (NS) (+) (-) (C) (ALL)
(A) scans all SELECTed conference message bases
(ALL) scans all conferences in which you are registered

(C) limits scan to current message base only

Description: Allows checking for mail left to you or from you in a message
base. The above commands can be entered in combination on the
same line to limit the scan function as desired. The default for
the (Y) command is to scan the current message base only, in
reverse direction, checking for mail left by you as well as for
mail addressed to you and to scan the complete message base, from
the end of the file to the beginning.
You can select which areas you want to be scanned when using the
(A) subcommand by typing SELECT or by using the (W)rite User Info
command.
Quick Scan: The Quick Scan format provides a display that looks something
like this:
