BBBBS
The command menus for this system may be displayed as one large menu,
or broken down into MAIN, MSG, and FILE. If you chose to display 3
separate menus, you can move to any section menu by entering 'F' for
FILE, 'M' for MSG, or '.' (period) for MAIN.
NOTE: Except for [S]earch, ALL these commands work the same under any
menu. You can (for instance) [R]ead messages from the MAIN or FILE
menus, or change [Y]our parameters from the MSG or FILE menus.
There is some "chaining" of commands allowed, for example;
"Read All New" or "r a n" to read all new messages.
"Search Files iff" or "s f iff" to search files for "IFF".
"Alpha 7" or "a 7" to display file library 7.
"Library 42" or "l 42" AmigaDOS format library 42.
[H]elp is available under each section menu, and most sub-menus.
*** SECTIONS ***
MAIN: information, userlist, system stats, display prefs, etc.
[S]earches here look through the user list.
MSG: the message base.
[S]earches here look thru the message subjects.
Note that there may be several message areas (up to 99).
FILE: the file libraries.
[S]earches here look through the file descriptions.
