- Help File #1
- ------------
-
- This MSO software was written by N2IZB in BASIC for use with the PK-232 mutli
- mode data controller on IBM or compatable computers. This is a very pre-
- liminary version of the MSO232 software, as BASIC is not a very good language
- for this type of application.
-
- There are only a few command, and are basically self explanatory. Here is some
- help is you need it.
-
- .HELP Gives you a list of commands.
-
- .EXIT Logs you out of the MSO.
-
- .DIR Gives you a list of messages/files on the disk. The . and .. files cannot
- be viewed.
-
- .READ (file) lets you read a message/file. The (file) name can only contain
- numbers and letters and connot be more then 8 charaters long.
- Example: .READ HELP1
-
- .WRITE (file) lets you write a message/file. Again, the (file) name can only
- contain letters and numbers and connot be more than 8 charaters
- long. If you are sending mail to another user, form the (file)
- name like this: A message from N2IZB to W1AW would look like
- this: 1AW-IZB. ** Do not use the - symbol any other time **
-
- To start a message send the MSO the .WRITE (file) command and
- hit CR/LF. DO NOT drop carrier, start your message now. When
- you are done entering your message, type .END
- Example:
-
- .WRITE TEST
- This is a test.
- .END
-
- At this point, drop carrier and the system will put you back at
- the main menu.
-
- .END Ends a message/file. Use the .WRITE command, and when you are finished
- with your message, type the .END command.
-
- .ABORT Aborts a message/file. If you use the .WRITE command, and do not want
- to save the file you have started, type this on a blank line.
-
- .RYS will send you a string of RY's for tuning purposes. Always be tuned as
- close as possible to the MSO's transmitter frequency.
-
- .TALK Will page the SysOp to chat.
-
- Please enjoy the system. Always make sure the frequency is not in use before
- logging into the MSO.
-
- Thank you,
- Keith N2IZB
