LDUC LDUC ç LDUA ÅAREA CHANGE LDUA LDUA èThis command allows you to change areas. Opus allows whats called LDUA "Ästackingè", this simply means that you can type ÄA3 36 èto go directly LDUA to message area 3, message number 36. LDUA LDUA At the message area menu prompt, type A and then the prompt LDUA will ask you which area, or ? for a list of areas. Typing the ? LDUA mark then would show you a list of available areas to choose from. LDUA LDUA ÅExperiment with it! Won't cause any harm! LDUA LDUA ç LDUL ÅLIST LDUL LDUL èThe L)ist key can be used in several ways, ÄL, LV, LV*, èand ÄL* LDUL èthe ÄL èalone will give you a brief listing as to who wrote LDUL the message, and to whom, and if it has been recieved, LDUL it also gives the date and time it was written. By using the LDUL V command with the L (ÄLVè) it will also show you the subject LDUL of the message; by using the * key, (L* or LV*) that would LDUL give you the same listing, but since your last call. LDUL LDUL For an example, lets say there are 210 messages in the area, LDUL but you want to L)ist the last 10 messages only, easy enough! LDUL Just type ÄLV200è or ÄL200è --- Experiment with its usage, it can LDUL save you time from reading unwanted messages! LDUL LDUL ç LDUI ÅINQUIRE LDUI LDUI èThe ÄI èkey, can save you a lot of time when looking for a familair LDUI name, or subject matter. It will be easier to first give you LDUI an example of what the I)nquire field looks for in it's search: LDUI LDUI ÅTo: ÄJohn Doe LDUI ÅFrom: ÄSteve Smith LDUI ÅSubject: ÄNuclear Medicine LDUI LDUI èThe -ÄI- èkey will look in those three fields to see if it can find LDUI a match for what your wanting. So if you typed: I Steve LDUI It would find the above example, and maybe even a STEVE Brown LDUI and a STEVE Black. When it finds what it's looking for, it will LDUI show you in CAPS and which message # to refer to. LDUI LDUI NOTE---The I command will NOT find a word or phrase in the body LDUI of the message! LDUI LDUI If you typed: ÄIcl èand OPUS found an entry with a Äcl èin it, LDUI it would CAP the cl like this ÄCLèue. Use of wildcards is permitted. LDUI LDUI ç LNUS ÅSCAN LNUS LNUS èThis is painfully slow, amigo! However it does a very good job of LNUS locating your mail, usually error free! More often than not, your LNUS System Operator (SysOp) will not have this command available to LNUS anyone, only due to it's slowness. But if you do have access to it, LNUS You can use the S)can command 4 ways: LNUS LNUS ÄS èwill scan ALL areas for messages you have waiting, and list them LNUS by area number, and message number. LNUS LNUS ÄSV èwill do a tedious job of locating all your mail, recieved and LNUS not yet recieved, and gives you a listing where they are located. LNUS LNUS ÄSV* èand ÄS* èwill do the same as above, except it looks for new mail LNUS since your last call. LNUS LNUS ç LDUG ÅGOODBYE LDUG LDUG èLog off of Opus; hang up. LDUG LDUG Type ÅGYY èto log off and leave SysOp a message. LDUG LDUG Type ÅGYN èto log off without leaving a parting message. LDUG LDUG ç LDUM ÅMAIN MENU LDUM LDUM èLeaves the MESSAGE Section and takes you to the MAIN MENU. LDUM LDUM ç LDUE ÅENTER LDUE LDUE èAllows you to enter messages to other callers. You might be surprised LDUE how writing a message will bring several replys! LDUE LDUE ç LDUR ÅREPLY LDUR LDUR èAllows you to enter a "reply" message to the last message you read. LDUR The message will automatically be addressed to the correct person. LDUR LDUR ç LNUK ÅKILL LNUK LNUK èAllows you to delete a message if it's written by you, or to you. LNUK LNUK If the message is available to all to read (not private) and LNUK is of interest to other folks, you may not want to kill it, as LNUK people can not respond to messages that are not there...just LNUK a thought you might concider! LNUK LNUK ç LDUN ÅNEXT LDUN LDUN èRead the next message forward from the last you read. LDUN Pressing ENTER will do this automatically, so you do not have LDUN to keep typing N at every message promt. LDUN LDUN ç LDU= ÅREAD NON-STOP LDU= LDU= èRead all messages non-stop, starting at the last message read. LDU= Opus will NOT pause between messages. LDU= This command is useful if your computer can capture text from LDU= the screen and store it on disk ("capture buffer"). You can LDU= capture all the messages available, hang up, and read them on LDU= your own time at your own pace. LDU= LDU= ç LDUP ÅPRIOR LDUP LDUP èRead the next message prior to the last you read. LDUP Pressing ENTER alone repeats the last P)rior or N)ext command. LDUP LDUP Remember, when you wish to go forward, you will need to type LDUP the ÄN èkey again. You can also go directly to a message by LDUP simply by typing the # of the message. LDUP LDUP ç LDU- ÅREAD ORIGINAL LDU- LDU- èAfter reading a "reply" message, the - command displays the message LDU- that it is a reply to. Reply messages are chained together; this LDU- command allows you to read backwards through the chain. LDU- LDU- ç LDU+ ÅREAD REPLY LDU+ LDU+ èRead the "reply" message to the last message read, if there LDU+ is one. Reply messages are linked together like a chain. This LDU+ command allows you to read forward through the chain. LDU+ LNU+ ç LNUU ÅUPLOAD LNUU LNUU èOpus allows text files to be uploaded directly into the LNUU Message Section. You do this by typing ÄU èat the prompt, then LNUU entering a message as you normally would, To, From, and LNUU Subject...Then there will be a prompt for you to begin the LNUU upload...ÄX-modem onlyè, and Ä3K èor less! Otherwise, OPUS will LNUU not accept the message. If it is accepted, it will save itself. LNUU LNUU This feature allows you to compose messages Äoff-lineè, and then LNUU come on-line and upload your message in a matter of moments! ç LNUU LNUU ç LSUH ÅHURL LSUH LSUH èLets you move a message from one message area to another. LSUH The source and destination file areas MUST be on the same drive. LSUH LSUH ç LPUF ÅFORWARD LPUF LPUF èCreates a new copy of a message and lets you select a new LPUF person to send To:.
