RAMail Online Help
(B)ulletin Toggle
This option will allow you to tell RAMail whether or not you wish
to receive new bulletins in your mail packet.
(C)onfigure RAMail
This option allows you to select which message areas you wish
RAMail to look at when selecting mail to include in your mail
packet. In addition, you can select what type of mail to receive,
i.e. All new mail, mail addressed only to you or All, or mail
addressed only to you.
(D)ownload Mail
This option will being the process of extracting messages from the
message bases according to your selections made in the (C)onfigure
RAMail option. If you have flagged any files while in the (F)ile
Areas function (see below), thos files will be sent with your
packet as well. Upon completion of the message extraction, you
will be prompted as to whether you wish to receive the packet.
Answering with [Y] will cause RAMail to begin compressing your
packet with PKZIP and upon completion of this will begin sending
the packet to you with your default transfer protocol (see below).
(F)ile Areas
This is a function you might not expect to see in a mail door.
Upon selection this option from the menu, you will be show a list
of all available file areas to which you have access. Choosing one
of the areas by number will begin the display of the list of
files for that area. At the end of each screenful, you will see a
prompt "More (Y/n), (F)lag, (U)nflag". By pressing [ENTER] or [Y]
at this prompt, the listing will continue with the next screenful
files. If you press [F], you will be prompted to enter the name of
the file you wish to flag for download with your mail packet. You
may only flag files one at a time, i.e. you can't enter more than
one file name at the "Enter File Name to Flag" prompt. If you have
previously flagged files that you wish to unflag, press [U] and
enter the file name or enter (*) to unflag all files.
(G)oodbye (Logoff)
This option will log you off of the BBS.
(H)elp
This option will display this help file.
(M)odify Last Read Pointer
RemoteAccess maintains a pointer in your user record that contains
the number of the highest message you have read. RAMail accesses
this pointer when exporting messages so it will only export messages
above the last one you have read. If for some reason you wish to
change this pointer, either forward to skip mail or backward to
reprocess older mail, you may use this function.
(P)age Sysop
This option will signal the sysop that you wish to chat with him.
If he is available, he will chat with you.

Statistics and Last Caller information.

protocol that wil be use in all packet transfers. Your choices are
Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem and Ymodem-G.

This option will allow you to upload replies that you have written
offline with your offline reader. The replies will be inserted
into the BBS message bases.
