- bulletin by entering the bulletin name or number at the prompt. Press the
- enter key to return to the Main Menu. When you enter "{C3B{C2" at the command

- {C4TIPS:{C2
- 1. Bulletins may be in sub-menus. Entering the sub-menu name will bring up
- another list of bulletins to choose.
-
- 2. You may find it useful to capture bulletins to disk on your personal
- computer for later viewing. "Capture to disk" is a feature that may be
- available on your communications programs.
-
- 3. Some SYSOPs make their bulletins available on the Files System for
- downloading, so you can read them off-line.
-
- 4. You can specify multiple bulletins to read in the command prompt. For
- example, "{C3B 1 7{C2" will read bulletins 1 and 7.
-
- 5. You will see the {C3N{C2)ews bulletin when you log-in if it has changed, but
- you can always view it from the Bulletin menu.

- You can also "stack" bulletin commands. For example, if you enter {C3B;3;5 {C2at
- the main menu prompt, the system will enter the bulletin subsystem and display
- bulletins 3 and 5.
-
- As you use the bulletin subsystem, keep in mind that you may find it useful to
- capture bulletins to disk on your personal computer for later viewing. "Capture
- to disk" is a valuable feature available on many communications programs (e.g.,
- Qmodem, Crosstalk, Procomm).
-
- This concludes the Bulletin Subsystem Tutorial. Please feel free to address any
- questions concerning bulletins to the Sysop.
