Description - GRAPH/ANSI modes (M GRAPH, M ANSI):
@X03
After you read each message, the system will display the @X0AEnd of
Message@X03 menu. This menu is made up of seven different categories
of commands. A help line, displayed below the commands, shows
help for each command as it is hilited.
The seven menu categories are:
1. Common - the most commonly used End of Message commands
2. Actions - commands to change the scope of reading, based on
the current message
3. Memorize - memorized messages
4. Change - change the display, edit messages
5. Reselect - change the read 'filter' for subsequent messages
6. Conference - moving through conferences
7. SysOp - maintenance of messages and users
@X0F
Description - CTTY mode (M CTTY):
@X03
After you read each message, the system will display the @X0AEnd of
Message@X03 prompt. Since menu navigation is not possible with the
CTTY display mode (ANSI commands are disabled), you may choose only
from the commands displayed. The Advanced command, however, will
allow you to manually type in any valid End of Message command.

Tips
@X03
For the cleanest display of mail, set the system to clear the
screen after each message, and to stop at the end of the screen
for long messages. These can be accomplished using the '(W)rite
User Information' command.
When using the (A)dvanced or (#) command, the ESC key can be used
to clear all typed characters. This assumes that your communications
program supports the sending of the ESC key.
Once you have become accustomed to the placement of the commands
on each menu, you can use the menu hot-keys (1 - 7) to display a
desired menu, without scrolling through all of the menus
in-between.
Use the (A)dvanced command on the Common menu to enter combined
commands, like Yours, ALL conferences:
Y;ALL
Keep in mind that the trigger keys shown for the commands on the
End of Message menu are not necessarily the same as the native
PCBoard commands. For example, the (F)rom option available on the
Reselect menu maps to PCBoard's native (FROM) command.
