-
- - 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. 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),
- 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 NS (for 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 asterisk (*) can be used in place of a message number on the
- R, S, and Q 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. Please leave
- me a message if you feel I should expand this help file.
