The main purpose of command line is to receive a command and execute it. Most often the prompt looks like this: (Conference) Name_of_the_menu (Something_else): _ The leftmost name in the parenthesis is the current conference. The next name is the current menu. There may also be subprompt in parenthesis. Prompt ends to a colon and after it is your cursor. @{b}USAGE:@{ub} You enter commands by just by typing the command and pressing the button. Use question mark (?) command to see the commands currently available to you. @{b}EDITING@{ub} You can edit commands in command line with cursor keys, <@{fg highlight}backspace@{fg text}> and <@{fg highlight}del@{fg text}>. The command history can be used with <@{fg highlight}cursor up@{fg text}> and <@{fg highlight}cursor down@{fg text}> keys, just like in your favourite shell. To erase current command line press . @{b}COMMAND CHAINING@{ub} There may be several commands and their parameters on one command line. Just remember to separate commands with spaces. It is called command chaining. @{b}EXAMPLE:{{ub} (Post office) Read Command (? for menu): w (Post office) Read Command (? for menu): f up foo.bar (Post office) Read Command (? for menu): f up foo.bar "Description" N @endnode @node EDITOR "Message Editor: Writing messages in BBBS" @{b}TOPIC:@{ub} Message Editor: Writing messages in BBBS @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} You use message editor to write,edit and save your messages. There are three different types of editors: @{"line editor" link EDITOR_LINE}, full screen editor (@{"FSE" link EDITOR_FSE}) and @{"MG" link EDITOR_MG}. Full screen editor can be used to edit message on full screen size on the other hand with line editor you can edit message with one line at a time. Full screen editor is much easier than line editor but it requires your terminal software to support ANSI or AVATAR codes. Check your terminal software manual to see if one of them is supported. If your terminal software does not support ANSI or AVATAR codes you must obtain another brand software or use line editor. @{b}SUBTOPICS@{ub} @{"MG" link EDITOR_MG} @{"line editor" link EDITOR_LINE} @{"FSE (Full Screen Editor)" link EDITOR_FSE} @endnode @node EDITOR_MG "MG" You can set this editor to your default editor with command: U ED MG MG is a GNU Emacs clone and it's the best and the most versatile of BBBS editors but a bit difficult for novices.

This is the basic editor, no fancy features but easier for novices than MG. @{b}SETTING UP THE FULL SCREEN EDITOR@{ub} Check your terminal software if it can translate ANSI, AVATAR or VT320 codes. Use util menu command U ED FSE to select full screen editor. Select terminal emulation with U TE. @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} Full screen editor works similar to usual text editor or word processing software. On startup the screen is blank. The editor uses four topmost lines on the screen to status display and editor warnings. The space below status lines is reserved to entering message. Status lines look like this: Gaming #49 (PRIVATE) to John Doe re: Writing messages Insert Indent Ctrl/Z=Save, Ctrl/Q=Abort, Ctrl/U=Help, Ctrl/W=Autoquote, Move with arrow/WSkey <---+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7->--+---> The information about status lines: Line 1: Name of conference Number of message in conference (PRIVATE) if message is private, else nothing Name of the receiver Subject of message Line 2: Insert/Overwrite Indent/No indent Possible questions Line 3: Explanations for most used keyboard commands @{b}USAGE:@{ub} With full screen editor you can write text similar to any editor. If insert is on text in front of cursor moves left with cursor. If overwrite is on text in front of cursor is overwritten. Keyboard commands: (Carriage return) If 'Insert' mode is active a new line is created and the cursor is moved to the new line. If 'Overwrite' mode is active you will only be moved to the beginning of the next line. If 'Indent' mode is active the cursor will move to the next line to the position where the previous line started. Pressed once it will move the cursor to the beginning of the line, twice it will move to the top of the screen and the third time it's pressed it will move to the beginning of the message. Does the opposite of . Press once and cursor moves to end of line, twice to move cursor to end of screen and three times to move cursor to end of message. Erase the character to the left of the cursor. Erase the character cursor is on. Move the cursor eight characters to the left. (It does not indent the text already written) Contrl-commands The ^ character in front of letter means you must press ctrl-key and simultaneously press the letter. ^A Move one word backwards. ^F Move one word forward. ^R Page up ^C Page down. ^D Move one character to the right. ^S Move one character to the left. ^E Move one line up. ^X Move one line down. ^Y Erase current line. Restore line with ctrl-B. ^G Erase character, same as . ^B Restore deleted line. ^L Show coordinates for cursor. ^N Rewrite screen. ^O Open new line after cursor. ^P Aligns the right margin to the position of the cursor. It does not wrap lines which are too long. Example of usage: 1. Find the longest line in the message. 2. Check the length of the line by pressing . 3. Go to the first line of the message. 4. Move to the same x-position as the last character on the longest line. 5. Press ctrl-P. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 for all the chapters you want to align. ^Q Quit without save. Same as ctrl-K Q. ^T Erase one word to the right of cursor. ^V Toggles 'insert' and 'indent' modes. ^W Quotes the line. Example of usage: 1. go to the line you want to quote, 2. press ctrl-W and the line will be preceded by a mark the sysop has chosen as the quote mark. All extra spaces will be removed from the beginning of the line. ^Z Save message and quit. Same as ctrl-K Z. ^K C Erase to the end of the message. ^K Q Quit editing without save. Same as ctrl-Q ^K R Read message from disk. Works only for sysop in local mode. ^K S Change the subject of the message. ^K W Write message to disk. Works only for sysop in local mode. ^K Z Quit and save message, send it to recipients. Same as ctrl-Z. @{b}SEE ALSO:@{ub} @{"editor/line" link EDITOR_LINE} @endnode @node EDITOR_LINE "Line Editor" @{b}SETTING UP THE LINE EDITOR@{ub} The line editor is a default to new users. If you have some reason to switch full screen editor to line editor use Util menu command U ED L. @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} If your terminal software cannot communicate with full screen editor you are stuck with line editor. Line editor is a little complex editor for message writing. It is VERY recommended to use terminal software with capabilities for ANSI and/or AVATAR codes. As the name says the message is edited with one line at a time. That means it is quite inconvenient. @{b}USAGE:@{ub} You start writing from the first line of the message. When you have written the message press on the empty line. You can choose from following commands: Command: Explanation: ------------- ---------------------- ontinue writing the message nsert a line. elete a line. dit a line. ist the message. bort the message. Quit, no save, no send. ave the message.

The receiver and subject are set up automatically and the only concern for you to do is write the message. @{b}SEE ALSO:@{ub} @{"editor" link EDITOR} @endnode @node GLOB_E "Enter a message" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} e @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} E-command let's you write a message on current conference (see command prompt for current conference). The message can be private or public one. It is not allowed to write private messages in all areas (you may ask that from your SysOp). Exceptions: You cannot write public messages in private conference. Sysop can define any area to be read-only. That means regular users are not allowed to write any messages in them. Often some kind of news conference is set up like that. Entering a new message starts a new message chain. Before you can write the message you are asked for the receiver of the message and the subject of the message. See editor help for changing subject inside the editor. The receiver of the message can be anybody in BBS userbase or ALL. If the receiver is ALL the message must be in public area. You don't have to write ALL, just press . A message should have a subject which describes the contents in some way. If your message is about food, you might write "Hamburgers as the source of nutrition". @{b}SEE ALSO:@{ub} @{"re" link READ_RE} @{"editor" link EDITOR} @endnode @node GLOB_MD "Message Download" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} md [-number_of_messages_to_grab] @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} MD will gather all unread messages from all conferences you are a member of, compress them in an archive and send them to you. The compression will be done if you have chosen an archive format with the U AF command, otherwise you will get an unpacked ASCII-file. The default protocol to use in file transfers may be set with U T command. When you have received the message packet all messages are set as read. The file that you get with MD is possible to edit with just about any editor and also offline readers like BMLR, HipHop, NMail, SLMR etc. The message packet is created with the character set defined with U S command (the default is IBM character set). @{b}SWITCHES:@{ub} @{fg highlight}-#@{fg text} will limit the number of messages that GRAB will gather for you. For example: MD -50 would get only 50 messages. @{fg highlight}-m@{fg text} Excludes new file list from message packet. @{fg highlight}-c@{fg text} Creates control-files for Hippo grab. @{fg highlight}-b@{fg text} Collects new bulletins @{b}SEE ALSO:@{ub} @{"set" link UTIL_SET} @endnode @node GLOB_H "Help" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} h @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} H-command shows you help screens about commands in BBS.

Excellent! Welcome to system. To start with, a few commands and things good to know: Try not to be on-line too long, if you are, then the other users wont be able to log in, it's also quite expensive to keep the phone line open too long. That's if the phone company charges you by the minute. Menu system in BBBS (quite a clear one): <@{fg highlight}Q@{fg text}> Main menu <@{fg highlight}U@{fg text}> Util menu <@{fg highlight}F@{fg text}> File menu <@{fg highlight}R@{fg text}> Read menu (messages) In menus there are commands and also submenus. You might have noticed that there are many different conferences here. You have been invited to some and are allowed to freely join all public areas to which you have read and write rights, use the command. The first lets you one join to a specific area while the second prompts you for each area individually until all areas have been chosen or not. The messages are shown automatically, just keep pressing <@{fg highlight}enter@{fg text}>. Typing @{"re" link READ_RE} lets you write a reply to a message. It would be wise to download all the messages to examine them at home, off-line. This is done with the @{"md" link GLOB_MD} command but remember to first set all the settings in the 'Utility Menu' properly. will choose the tranfer protocol. You should also choose the archiving method to shrink the size of the message packet and lessen the transfer time . After a while it is good to start using an off-line reader. Using an off-line reader will give you the possibility to read the messages, after downloading them, at home. You'll also be able to reply to them almost as if you were on-line using the BBBS. Such programs for the PC are: BMLR, NMail, ASO, POST, BlueWave, OLX, PowerQWK etc. Many of those can be found in the file areas of the BBS, if it can't, then tell the SysOp to get a hold of one of them. You have probably noticed that it's possible to chain the commands on one line to speed up the usage of the BBS. For details on using command line editor see this {"link" link CLEDITOR}. When you've read some messages (on-line by just pressing enter) and found something you want to comment or answer to, you can do that by typing (reply). You will be prompted some questions and if you chose to include the old message it will be displayed on screen. Now, if you're using the FullScreen Editor, you can comment the message with quotes of the author to the message. It is customary to type a particular sign in front of all quoted lines, this can be done automatically by pressing CTRL-W. The sign is most often the '>'. To do it automatically you have to move the cursor to the line to quote. Quote only parts of message, destroy rest with CTRL-Y command. See editor help with CTRL-U command. In the BBS there is almost always a conference where the messages from the SysOp to the users can be found. Such areas may be called News or SysOp News or whatever the SysOp has chosen to call the conference. The area is one from which you can't resign ie. you have to read the messages, and why not, it might contain some important information. I hope you make it now. If you're having trouble you can leave a message to the SysOp using the @{"com" link GLOB_COM}ment command. He is an experienced user and is probably able to answer your questions. Note for female users: When referring to a him in the help... it can also be a she. :) @endnode @node GLOB_NE "Next conference" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} ne [++ | /--] @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} NEXT command moves you to the next conference which you are a member of. Without any parameters it will take you to the next conference where there are still unread messages. ++ parameter moves to the next conference you are a member of. The conference can but does not have to have any unread messages. +- parameter moves you to the previous area you are a member of.

You can give nodenumber and message as parameter. If you don't you'll be asked for them. Sending nodemessage to node 0 sends nodemessage to all active nodes. You will need this command if you want to ask for download rights from the BRoboCop, who is the 'watch cat' for BBBS. This would be done by typing the following: NO 4 DOWNLOAD, where 4 is the node number of BRoboCop. Check the node number with W. @{b}EXAMPLE:{{ub} no 3 Hi!

To list the bulletins again you type L at the bulletin prompt. W gives you the welcome screen of the BBS. @{b}EXAMPLE:{{ub} b 2 @endnode @node GLOB_TIM "Time left" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} tim @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} TIM-command shows you current time, login time, time you have left in the BBS and time bank status. @endnode @node GLOB_W "Who's on system" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} w @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} W-command will give you a list of who is logged on to the system and it also displays the status of other nodes, if any, on the BBS system. On some systems the SysOp has chosen not to show empty nodes, this might be because there are so many nodes that it would take too long to list all the empty nodes. If someone is downloading, BBBS will show estimated transfer end time. @{b}SEE ALSO:@{ub} @{"glob/chat" link GLOB_CHAT} @{"glob/no " link GLOB_NO} @endnode @node GLOB_G "Goodbye: Logging out of BBS" @{b}COMMAND:@{ub} g [ | | ] exit [ | | ] logout [ | | ] @{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub} G-command is the only right way of hanging up after visiting a BBBS.

@node FILE "File Menu Commands"
@{b}DESCRIPTION:@{ub}
        In  the file menu you can use all of the global commands and the
        file commands. These commands are for transferring files between
        your terminal and the BBS.

        The  file  system  in  BBBS  is  very  much  based  on  the same
        operations  as in normal OS prompt. This means that you can move
        around in the directories with "cd directory" etc.

        Commands  marked  with  letter H have an alias named H + command
        (hget, hcd, etc) which works just like the original command, but
        the job is done to/from @{i}/tmp@{ui} -directory. They are not documented
        separately.  For  example  @{b}get foo@{ub} downloads file named foo from
        the current direcotory, @{b}hget foo@{ub} downloads /tmp/foo.
