MAIN Function J - Join Conference
This command provides you access to RBBS-PC's Conferences and Sub-Boards.
A Conference is a separate message area, usually focused on a single topic.
A Sub-Board is an entire BBS within the main BBS, with its own message
base, file catalogs, and possibly even a different SysOp. However, the
Join command works the same for Conferences and Sub-Boards.
You will be presented with a list of conferences after you enter the "J"
command. The sub-options available with the join command are:
L)ist - show the list of conferences available
M)ain - go back to the main message area (abandon conferences)
N)ext - join the next linked conference
S)ince - link conferences together with new mail since you were
last in them and join the first one
P)ers - link conferences together with new personal mail for you
and join the first one
or name - type in name of specific conference
Q)uit - terminate the join command and go back to main menu
Pressing Enter also exits the conference command.
TIPS:
1. RBBS-PC offers both public and private teleconferencing capabilities.
Private conferences and Sub-Boards will have unique entry requirements
which you will have to meet before being allowed to join.
2. To go from any conference back to the MAIN message area, use the QUIT
CONFERNECE (Q C) command, or use the JOIN command to join the MAIN
Conference (J M).
3. You can go directly from the Main Menu into a conference by entering
"J" and the conference name. For example, you could enter the "GAMES"
conference with the following command: "J GAMES".
4. You will not see a list of available conferences if you enter the
Conference System while in the Expert Mode. Enter an "L" to get the
conference list.
5. You can perform a valuable service by using the comment or message
functions to suggest teleconference topics to the SYSOP.
