- To read messages since a given date, type
-
- ".Read <direction option> <date spec>"
-
- If you type nothing for <date spec>, it'll assume from the beginning of
- time. The format of date spec is just like the Citadel standard for a date:
-
- yymmmdd (i.e. 88Jan05 is January 5, 1988)
-
- However, this may be abbreviated for finger pain alleviation. If the year
- is omitted, the current year is assumed. The month must only be unique. For
- instance, "ja" would indicate january, while "s" would indicate September,
- but "ju" will only generate an error message, since both June and July would
- match that. The day does not have to be two digits, but it does have to be
- present.
-
- If you specify just a number, it is taked to be go back that many days
- from today, so .Read <direction> 5, goes back 5 days from today.
