While we're in a festive mood, let's try seeing just exactly what this
thing can do. Go ahead, press the F1 key!
The F1 key will serve as a memory jogger when you just can't remember which
key on the keyboard does what. After a few times using the program, you'll
probably never need the F1 key. The keys and functions of the reader will
become second nature to you.
If you're using a mouse, you will notice the words "F1 - Help" in the
bottom right hand corner of your screen. Move the mouse cursor to those
words and press the LEFT mouse button. Voila!
If you're a person who likes pull down menus rather than fumbling around on
the keyboard, the <Alt-M> key combination is for you. Press <Alt-M> right
now to access the reader's pull down menu. Reading mail offline has never
been easier!
If you're the mousey type, there are two ways to access the pull down menu
system. If you have a 3-button mouse, press the MIDDLE mouse button. The
menu will instantly appear. If you are one of the unlucky ones (like me)
with a 2-button mouse, move the mouse cursor to the words "Menu" on the
left hand side of your screen and press the LEFT mouse button. This will
also activate the pull down menu system.

Well look at this!
Your very first mail packet, and you already have personal mail. If you
keep this up, people from everywhere are going to recognize you!
Why not take a moment to try creating a reply? Simply press the R key
right now, and you will be introduced to the Blue Wave Message Entry
System. When you REPLY to a message, the reader automatically fills in the
message entry header for you! It couldn't get any easier than this now,
could it?
... Taglines, taglines, taglines. So many taglines, and so little time!
~~~ Blue Wave/OS2 v2.20 MSGID: 1:2240/176.0 3021d98b
If you are reading this, you are probably installing and using the reader
as a new user.
Before beginning, the introductory walk-through, I would like to take just
a moment and say "Thanks" for trying out The Blue Wave Mail System. No
other mail system in the world is growing and developing as fast as the one
you are testing right now!
You can move to the next message by pressing the ENTER key, or your right
cursor key.
If you are using a mouse, simply click the LEFT mouse button on the word
"Next", which appears on the bottom border of the message header window.
... This is a sample tagline. If it were real, it would be funny!
~~~ Blue Wave/OS2 v2.20 MSGID: 1:2240/176.0 3021d98c
Well, we made it through one message area with no battle scars!
This should be the last message you see in the "General Messages" area.
You can do several things to get back to the 'Choose Area to Read'
selection window.
1) Press your right arrow key once, and then again. When you hit the
last message in an area, the reader will signal you. If you press the
key again, it will automatically drop back for you!
2) If you're using the mouse, click the LEFT mouse button on the "Next"
icon twice.
3) Pressing ESCape will always get you out of message reading mode,
whether you are at the last message in the area or not. Clicking the
mouse's RIGHT button serves as your ESCape key when mousing around.
... Warning! Tagline thieves abound. See next message area for details!
~~~ Blue Wave/OS2 v2.20 MSGID: 1:2240/176.0 3021d98d
By now you've probably seen the taglines at the end of the messages.
Taglines are part of the fun of offline mail reading!
How can you create your very own taglines? Well, that's simple, too. If
you press <Alt-A> right now, the reader will take the tagline directly out
of this message and save it to your very own tagline file! (A sample
tagline file, TAGLINES.BW, was enclosed with your reader).
If you have "Check tagline file for dupes" still enabled in the reader's
configuration menu, press <Alt-A> several times to see what happens. We've
got you covered!
... Press <Alt-A> to Adopt Me! I need a better home.

The protocol for the transmission of data is determined by the use you will have for it. The common use is to have a address for each device on the serial lines, each device responds to it's own address. The only protocol I have used is the SABUS standards used for satellite communication equipment controls, and that info is available thru Scientific Atlanta.

I once had a similar mystery when juggling components between two system - couldn't get one system to boot from either of twosystem floppies, and then my other system wouldn't boot from them either.Seems the first time I'd tried, I had a loose cable, then, when I fixed that,I'd inadvertantly knocked a screw onto one of the floppy drives; the screw remained unnoticed for a while. After finally removing it and double checking the floppies, I found that both system disks had been trashed whenI'd tried to read them on the shorted drive! ...

Hi Craig, I have just a tiny handful:7 Days Without Prayer Makes One Weak.A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small package.A person who looks up to God rarely looks down on people.A true friend walks in when everyone else leaves.Although the tongue weighs very little, few people are able to hold it.Always forgive your enemies. They HATE that!Always listen to what experts say can't be done. Then do it.Backsliding starts when kneebending stops.Christmas is the promise, and Easter the Proof.Don't judge people by their relatives.Don't judge the parade by a few clowns.Don't lend people money. It causes amnesia.Enjoy life! This is not a dress rehearsal.Even the smallest candle burns bright in the darkness.FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real.Forbidden fruit is responsible for many a bad jam.God can heal a broken heart but He has to have all the pieces.God is like HALLMARK CARDS...He cares enough to send the very best.God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts!He who slings mud looses ground.How you do anything is how you do everythingI'll be praying for you!If you focus only on the thorns you will miss the beauty of the rose.Is God GOOD or What!!!Jesus said: "Peter, feed my sheep." Not bludgeon them to death.Kick the darkness till it bleeds LIGHT!!!Like a candle, to give light you must endure burning.Live life as an exclamation, not an explanation!Many are called, most won't go.Most people wish to serve God--but only in an advisory capacity.Never cut what can be untied.Never let yesterday or tomorrow use up today.Only those who attempt the absurd achieve the impossible.Plan ahead: after all, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.Prayer is asking for rain. Faith is carrying an umbrella.SALVATION -- Don't leave Earth without it...Some people find fault like there was a reward offered.The best way to get the last word is to apologize.THE RAPTURE!....THE ULTIMATE UPLOAD!!!The trouble with trouble is that it usually starts out like fun.There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.What a caterpillar calls the end of the world The Master calls a Butterfly Susan...
