- 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).
