- MAIN Command E - Enter Messages
-
- This command gives you the power to transform your thoughts into electronic
- messages.
-
- You will be asked to whom you want to send the message to when you select
- the "E" command. Enter "A" if you want to address the message to all
- users, or "S" to send the message to the Sysop. You can also address the
- message to an individual or group (e.g., "John Doe" or "all wordstar
- users"). If the addressee is not recognized by RBBS-PC, you will be given
- a chance to re-enter the name.
-
- You will then be asked the subject of your message. A maximum of 25
- characters is permitted for a subject title. If you do not enter a
- subject, RBBS-PC will assume you want to exit the "E" command.
-
- Finally, you will be asked for the message protection. Help is available
- at that point to aid in your selection.
-
- When all information is entered, you will be in control of RBBS-PC's line
- editor. You can type your message, or press [ENTER] on a blank line to
- invoke various editing commands. From there you can also quit or send your
- message.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. Simply addressing mail to an individual does not restrict who can read
- the message. To limit access to the message, you must invoke either
- the (P)assword or p(R)ivate security options.
-
- 2. You must issue the S)ave command if you want your message to remain on
- the system for others to read. S)ave or all will be lost.
