MAIN Command P - Personal mail scan
RBBS-PC stores its messages in a disk file that must be loaded into memory
when you log-in to the BBS. This is done when you see the "Checking
messages..." line.
This command repeats the message load, and may also display messages left
by you, or addressed to you. Messages with a "*" are private messages.
In a multi-node system, it is possible for a caller on another node to add
messages to the disk file while you are logged in, in which case they are
not loaded into memory on your node. To force RBBS to reload memory from
the disk file, use this command. If you suspect that messages may have
been added from another node while you have been logged-in, simply reload
the message file into memory and use either the Read or Scan command to
look for new mail.
TIPS:
1. RBBS-PC also tells you if you have any personal mail when you log on
the system.
2. You can read all new messages addressed TO you by using the command
"R T S" (<R>ead messages <T>o you <S>ince you were last on).
