- After you have entered your message, the above command prompt will
- appear. [O]riginal and [Q]uote will appear only if you are
- replying to a message.
-
-
- [A]bort = GAP will ask you if you wish to abort. If you answer
- yes, the message will be aborted and you will be
- returned to either the main command prompt or back to
- reading mail.
-
- [C]ont = Continue entering text. GAP will return you to the exact
- place you left off.
-
- [D]elete = GAP will ask you which line you wish to delete. If you
- delete a line, all the text entered AFTER that line will
- move up one line.
-
- [E]dit = GAP will ask you which line you wish to edit. After you
- enter a number, your cursor will be placed at the beginning
- of that line.
-
- The Editor Sub-Functions Are:
-
- [Ctrl F] = Forward [Ctrl B] = Backward [Ctrl Y] = Delete Line
- [Ctrl D] = Delete [Ctrl I] = Insert [Enter] = End Edit
-
- Ctrl F moves the cursor forward one character.
- Ctrl B moves the cursor back one character.
- Ctrl Y deletes the line and place the cursor at the
- beginning of the empty line.
- Ctrl D deletes the character under the cursor.
- Ctrl I inserts a space at the current cursor position.
- Enter terminates the editing process.
-
- Please keep in mind that if your communications program
- filters out control keys you will NOT be able to utilize
- the editor functions.
-
- Also, if your communications program ALWAYS adds a line
- feed to each carriage return that it receives, then the
- line being edited may appear on your terminal more than
- once.
-
-
- [F]ile Attach= If the sysop has enabled this feature for your security
- level, this option will appear in the prompt.

- File Attach allows you to attach a file to the message
- you are entering. Only the person to whom the message
- is for will be able to download the file.
-
- [I]nsert = GAP will ask you where you wish to insert a line. After
- you have entered a number, GAP will insert a blank line
- at the location you specified.
-
- [L]ist = GAP will show you what you have entered so far, line
- by line.
-
- [O]rig = If you are replying to a message, this command will
- allow you to review the message being replied to.

- or all of the original message. To quote a single
- line of the message, type the line number. To quote

-
- [S]ave = By typing [S], your message will be saved. After you use
- this option, you cannot change your message.
-
- [SC] = Save Carbon. If the sysop has enabled this feature, you
- may send your message to a number of people by "carbon
- copying" the message. GAP will ask you who you wish to
- send a carbon to. You may then enter a name and a carbon
- copy will be sent. If you don't wish to send a carbon,
- just press [Enter] and only the person the message is
- addressed to will receive it.
-
- NOTE :
-
- It is not possible to send carbon copies AFTER the
- [S]ave command has been used.
