@HELP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any command must be on ONE line: it can be more than 80 chars, provided
there are no <CR>. The commands are case insensitive.
<filespec> can contain wildcards (* and ?).
<file> is a single filename.
Areas are specified by area-name.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HELP
Gives a brief description of all the commands available to you.
@AREAS
AREAS
Lists all the areas available to you.
@FILES
FILES <area>
Lists all the files in <area> and their descriptions.
Example:
FILES 10
FILES UTI
@NEWFILES
NEWFILES [<days>]
Lists the new files in all the areas available to you and their
descriptions. You can optionally specify <days>, thus overriding the
SysOp specified default.
Example:
NEWFILES
NEWFILES 15
@LOCATE
LOCATE <token>
Finds all the occurences of <token> in file names and descriptions
in all the areas available to you.
Example:
Locate node
@DIR
DIR *|<area> [<filespec>] [<filespec>] ...
In <area> lists all the files specified by <filespec> and their
descriptions in the directory order.
If you specify * instead of an area number, all the areas available
to you are searched. If you omit <filespec> *.* is assumed.
Example:
DIR UTI
DIR 5 node*.zip nodediff.*
DIR * nodelist.*
@CONT
CONT *|<area> [<filespec>] [<filespec>] ...
In <area> lists all the files specified by <filespec> and their
descriptions and contents (if they are compressed) in the directory
order.
If you specify * instead of an area number, all the areas available
to you are searched. If you omit <filespec> *.* is assumed.
Example:
CONT UTI
CONT 5 node*.zip nodediff.*
CONT * nodelist.*
@TYPE
TYPE <area> <file> [<fmline> [<nlines>]]
In <area> types <file>. You can optionally specify a "from line"
<fmline> and a number of lines <nlines>. The file is typed only if
it seems to be a text file.
Example:
Type NODE nodelist.txt
Type NODE nodelist.txt 50
Type NODE nodelist.txt 50 150
@HURL
HURL <from_area> <to_area> <filespec> [<filespec>] ...
Moves the files specified by <filespec> and their descriptions
from <from_area> to <to_area>.
Example:
Hurl MISC NODE *.zip *.lzh nodelist.txt
@EDIT
EDIT <area> <file> <description>
In <area> sets the <file> description to <description>.
Example:
Edit 5 nodelist.zip Nodelist in zip format
@KILL
KILL <area> <filespec> [<filespec>] ...
In <area> deletes the files specified by <filespec> and their
descriptions.
Example:
Kill MISC *.gif nodelist.txt
@KILLTO
KILLTO <area> <file>
In <area> deletes <file> and all the preceding ones, with their
descriptions. The order of deletion is the same as reported by the
FILE command.
Example:
KillTo MISC pippo.gif
@TOUCH
TOUCH <area> <filespec> [<filespec>] ...
In <area> sets <filespec> date to today.
Example:
Touch UPLOAD *.zip
@REN
REN <area> <filespec1> <filespec2>
In <area> renames <filespec1> to <filespec2>.
The wildcards handling is the same as the DOS' one.
Example:
Ren NODE nodelist.* fido????.*
@DELAFT
DELAFT <area> <file>|<begin> <fmline> <nlines>
In <area> deletes <nlines> lines of description starting from
<fmline> lines after <file> or <begin>.
Example:
Delaft NODE nodelist.txt 3 10
Delaft 1 <begin> 1 3
The first command deletes 10 lines of description starting 3 lines
after nodelist.txt in area NODE.
The second command deletes 3 lines of description starting from the
first line of the description file in area 1.
@ADDAFT
ADDAFT <area> <file>|<begin> <fmline> [<txt>] ...
In <area> adds <txt> starting <fmline> lines after <file> or
<begin>. If you omit <txt> the text deleted by the last DELAFT
command will be added. If there are less than <fmline> lines, <txt>
will be added at the end of the description file.
Example:
Addaft NODE nodelist.txt 1 And now the new files !
Addaft 1 <begin> 300
The first command adds "And now..." on the line after
nodelist.txt in area NODE.
The second command adds the text deleted by the last DELAFT command
at the end of the description file of area 1 if it has less than 300
lines; otherwise it adds the text starting on the 300th line.
@SORTAFT
SORTAFT <area> <file1>|<begin> <file2> [<file3>] ...
In <area> moves the descriptions of <file2> [<file3>] ... immediately
after <file1> or <begin> in the listed order.
Example:
Sortaft NODE <begin> nodelist.zip nodelist.lzh
Sortaft NODE nodelist.lzh nodelist.txt nodelist.prn
The first command moves the descriptions of nodelist.zip and
nodelist.lzh at the head of the description file.
The second command moves the descriptions of nodelist.txt and
nodelist.prn after nodelist.lzh in the listed order.
