- Which command do you need help with?
- > RALFTGUDSMRKCOH|
- UA AREA CHANGE
- UA Lets you select another message area. Type "A" alone to see
- UA a list of available areas. You may also type a number immediately
- UA following the "A" to move directly to another area (e.g. A1, A;2).
- UL LOCATE
- UL Locate a file based on a short sequence of characters. THIS
- UL COMMAND SEARCHES ALL FILE AREAS, NOT JUST THE CURRENT AREA.
- UL Locate does not use MS-DOS "wildcards"; it does, however match
- UL the character sequence to both the file name and description.
- UL
- UL For example, if you type "L;arc" ... you might get this:
- UL huge.ARC 123456 this is a large file
- UL fstextr.exe 2250 a fast way to unARC a file
- UF FILE TITLES
- UF Lists files available in the current file area. Also lists
- UF file's size in bytes, date uploaded, and a short description.
- UF If the file is new since your last call, you'll see an asterisk
- UF "*" next to the date uploaded.
- UT TYPE
- UT Displays a text file on the screen. Only works with text files.
- UG GOODBYE
- UG Log off from Opus; hang up.
- UU UPLOAD
- UU Lets you send a file from your disk to Opus, provided your
- UU terminal software supports this. Check your documentation
- UU for details.
- UU 1. Tell Opus you want to U)pload a file.
- UU 2. Select the file transfer "protocol" you want to
- UU use - Opus will give you a list to choose from.
- UU 3. Tell Opus the name of the file you'll be sending.
- UU 4. Finally, when Opus says, "Ready to receive...", tell
- UU your terminal program to send the file.
- UD DOWNLOAD
- UD Tells Opus to send a file to you, provided your terminal software
- UD supports this. Check your program documentation for details.
- UD To get a file from Opus:
- UD 1. Tell Opus that you want to D)ownload a file.
- UD 2. Select the file transfer "protocol" you want to
- UD use - Opus will give you a list to choose from.
- UD (Ask the Sysop which protocols are most efficient)
- UD 3. Tell Opus the name of the file you want to receive.
- UD (MS-DOS "wildcards" work with some of the protocols.)
- UD 4. Finally, when Opus says "Ready to send...", tell your
- UD terminal program to receive the file.
- US STATISTICS
- US Shows systems statistics: time online, amount uploaded, etc.
- UM MAIN MENU
- UM Tells Opus to leave the FILES SECTION and return to the MAIN MENU.
- UR RAW DIRECTORY
- UR Shows any or all filenames, regardless of the entries in the
- UR file directory (FILES.BBS). Accepts MS-DOS "wildcards". Many
- UR BBS's reserve this command for higher access levels only.
- UR Here is kinda how wildcards work:
- UR
- UR *.ARC <-- Selects all files with extension .ARC
- UR FOOBAR.* <-- All FOOBAR files, regardless of extension
- UR *.* <-- All files.
- UR FOO???.* <-- All files with the first three characters equal to
- UR "FOO", the next three characters equal to anything,
- UR and any extension.
- UC CONTENTS
- UC Guess what? Opus will display the contents of .ARC (Archive)
- UC and .LBR (Library) files. These files are actually several
- UC smaller files locked into one large one for ease of transmission.
- UKLS KILL
- UKLS Allows you to either (1) Delete a file both from the disk and
- UKLS from the file directory (FILES.BBS), or (2) remove the filename
- UKLS from FILES.BBS without actually deleting the file.
- UOLS OUTSIDE FILE MANAGEMENT
- UOLS Opus now has an O)utside command specifically for the Files
- UOLS Section. It can be used for file area maintenance utilities
- UOLS or anything else. See OPUS.CTL and other appropriate Opus
- UOLS documentation for details.
- UHLS HURL
- UHLS Allows you to "hurl" a file from one file area to another.
