yhHow to Use Synchronet v1bn
ghFlow Control:n
To pause the current process at any time, hit Ctrl-S (XOFF, ASCII 19).
To resume the current process after a pause, hit Ctrl-Q (XON, ASCII 17).
To abort the current process, hit Ctrl-C (ETX, ASCII 3).
ghGetting Help:n
At nearly every input prompt you can type '?' or '/?' to display a menu of
available commands. To access help text files that the sysop might have
available, enter the Text File Section ('G' command) from the main menu.
ghCommands:n
Synchronet uses a 'hotkey' style command mode. Valid single character commands
are interpreted immediately after they are struck.
ghControl Characters:n
Synchronet gives certain control characters specific functions. Most of these
functions are available to the user at any given time. To display the Ctrl-Key
menu type Ctrl-K.
ghBi-level BBS:n
Synchronet's messages and transfer files are divided into two levels.
Every message (with the exception of mail) belongs to a Sub-board and each
Sub-board is a member of a group. Every transfer file belongs to a Directory
and each Directory is a member of a Library. To list the available Message
Groups or File Libraries, use the '/*' command at the main section or transfer
section prompts respectively. To list the available Sub-boards or Directories,
use the '*' command. To change the current Group or Library, type '/x' where
x is the number of the Group or Library you wish to change to. To change the
current Sub-board or Directory, type the corresponding Sub-board or Directory
number. The main section and transfer section prompts reflect the current
Group and Sub-board or Library and Directory. Example:
whMain section prompt:
n ┌────────────────────────────────────── Time Left Online

n │ yh │ ┌─────────────────────────── Current Group Name
