- Uhm. Why do users need to know every command, even the restricted
- ones? Why not have a little more simplicity..
-
- NEW - read new messages
- RN - like NEW, but one-key only
- READ - Read messages on current newsgroup
- POST - Post message on current newsgroup
- MAIL - read your mail
- FILES - download section
- LIST - Recent callers
- STAT - Your Status (change config, etc)
