================== Message Read Help File ======================
- The messages can be read with a stacked read command now. For
example r;10;14;32+ will cause messages 10, 14 and 32 plus all
messages beyond 32 to be displayed one at a time. This command
format must be used from the main menu.
- After an r or R has been input at the main menu, the stacked
read can still be used just by separating message numbers with
a semicolon or space. For example, input "10 14 32+" to do the
same as described above.
- The stacked read command can have an "m" imbedded in it to
read only messages sents to or from yourself. For example,
from the main menu you could enter r;10;14;M;32+ to cause messages
10, 14, and only messages to or from you beginning with message
32 to be displayed one at a time.
- While reading messages the "More" prompt indicates the replies
N (for no more), Y (to continuing with the next message requested.
This is the default when scanning messages forward or backward),
R (or RE, to enter a response to the current message without having
to go to the main menu), K (to kill a message before continuing.
This occurs only for messages to or from you), and C (or NS, for
continuous or non-stop scanning of messages).
- To read messages backwards, use a minus sign after the last
message you wish to read. For example, input r;32- to start
reading messages in reverse chronological order beginning at
message 32.
- An S (since, or asterisk (*)) can be used in place of a
message number on the R, S, and T functions to start from the
next message after the highest one you have read during this
or previous sessions.
- Using these brief instructions, try experimenting. You won't
break anything.
