The Help System: The Citadel Menu
=================================
^variantname is designed around a set of menu commands which allow basic
movement throughout the system, message reading and writing, and a few
other miscellaneous functions. Here is the list of the Main Menu Options
and their functions...
[P] Pause --> While reading, typing P will pause the display.
[B] Backup --> This command will return you to the room from which
you just came. You can also use a minus [-]
[C] Chat --> This command will page the System Operator.
[D] Door --> This command will present you with a list of
available doors and their description, then will
prompt you for the name of the door you wish to
open.
[E] Enter --> This command will allow you to enter a message.
[F] Forward --> This command will read all messages in the current
room from first to last.
[G] Goto --> This command will take you to the next room in the
system which has new messages. If there are not
any new messages in a particular room, that room
will be skipped. If and when there are no new
messages within the system, this command will not
take you anywhere. You can also use a plus [+]
for this command.
[H] Help --> This command will place you in The Help System.
[I] Information --> This command will print out a description of what
the current room is used for.
[K] Known Rooms --> This command will display all of the rooms in the
system which you are currently aware of. The list
will be separated into rooms with unread messages
and rooms with no unread messages.
[L] Login --> This command will prompt you for a password, and if
the password is valid, you will be logged into the
system.
[M] Meet User --> This command will prompt you for the name of a user,
and if the user you specify has an account, then the
biorgaphy of that user (if they have written one)
will be displayed. A "?" at the prompt will provide
a list of all users who have entered a biography.
[N] New --> This command will read all new messages (if there
are any) within the current room.
[O] Old Reverse --> This command will read al old messages in the
current room from last to first.
[R] Reverse --> This command will read all messages in the current
room from last to first.
[S] Skip --> This command will "skip" the current room and take
you to the next room in the system which has new
messages. The messages in the skipped room will not
be marked as having been read.
Also, While reading messages, this will stop the
read.
[T] Terminate --> This command will log you off of the system.
[U] UnGoto --> This command works exactly like the "Backup" command
does.
[Z] Forget Room --> This command will allow you to forget that the
current room exists. The system will prompt you
for confirmation first.
These commands are the basic commands of the ^variantname system. There
are other commands, known as "Extended Commands", which allow even
greater flexibility when using the system. These commands, which are
combinations of the above commands with certain "Specifiers", are listed
in the help file called "Summary". This file is accessed either through
The Help System, or by typing ".HSummary". These "Extended Commands" are
either preceded by a "." or a ";".
%MAINHELP Back to The Top Level of The Help System.
%COMMANDS This will take you to The Commands Level of The Help System.
%SUMMARY This will show you a complete list of "Extended Commands".
