- {C3--- RBBS-PC HELP SYSTEM ---{C2
-
- You can get in-depth information about RBBS-PC commands, menus, and special
- topics with the HELP system. If you do not understand how to use any RBBS-PC
- command, enter the command letter at the HELP prompt. E.g., to get help with
- the X command (eXpert toggle), enter {C3X{C2 at the HELP prompt, or enter "{C3HELP X{C2"
- (or just {C3H X{C2) at the main menu prompt.
-
- If the command you need help with is NOT in the section of RBBS-PC you are
- currently using, you may not get the help you want. To specify the section, use
- the FIRST LETTER of the section name and the command you want help with. E.g.,
- to get help with the UTIL command G (graphics), enter "{C3UG{C2". Entering just "{C3G{C2"
- from another section will give you help with the Goodbye command. The sections
- of RBBS-PC are ({C3M{C2)ain, ({C3U{C2)til, ({C3F{C2)ile and ({C3L{C2)ibrary.
-
- Your Sysop may also supply help on topics unique to this system. When you type
- "{C3H{C2" at the main menu, a description of topics should follow. Check with the
- Sysop for more details.

- {C3GLOBAL function Q - Quit {C2
-
- This command allows you to Press
- '{C3S{C2' to end your session and log-off RBBS-PC
- '{C3M{C2' to go to the RBBS-PC MAIN menu
- '{C3F{C2' to go to the RBBS-PC FILE menu
- '{C3U{C2' to go to the RBBS-PC UTIL menu
- '{C3C{C2' to leave the current conference or Sub-board and return to the
- MAIN conference.
-
- {C3GLOBAL Command X - eXpert toggle{C2
-
- This command switches between NOVICE mode and EXPERT mode. In NOVICE mode,
- RBBS-PC displays a menu before each command, and displays detailed information
- when asking you for input. EXPERT mode bypasses menu displays and detailed
- information. When you are comfortable with RBBS-PC's command structure, EXPERT
- mode will make your session much faster.
-
- Each time you use the "{C3X{C2" command you will alternate between EXPERT and
- NOVICE mode.

- {C4TIPS:{C2
- 1. Use the novice mode until you become comfortable with the RBBS-PC commands.
-
- 2. Capture and print a copy of the RBBS-PC menus for your reference, then
- switch to EXPERT mode. This will make RBBS-PC run faster.
-
- 3. Expert mode is available at any time.
