- Only people designated by the Sysop as "AIDES" may perform the following
- functions:
-
- => Visit the hidden Aide> room.
- => Delete messages
- => Delete empty rooms
- => Edit a room
- => Kill a room
- => Move/insert messages
- => Make messages into net messages
- => Journal messages (aide at sysConsole only)
- => Copying files (sysops)
-
- Most changes are accounted for by the Citadel-86 system and are recorded
- under
- the aide's name in the Aide> room for scrutiny by other aides and Sysops. If
- a person is found to be abusing their aide privileges, such privilege may be
- removed at the discretion of the Sysop.
-
- Procedures are as follows:
-
- TO MAKE AN UNNETTED MESSAGE INTO A NETTED MESSAGE:
- (1) Hit <P>ause during type-out of the message
- (2) Hit <D> to continue.
- (3) The message will print out again for confirmation.
- (4) The system will then print out
- "<M>ove <C>opy <D>elete <A>bort <N>et? (D/M/C/A/N) "
- (5) Press <N> to make the message into a net message. There will be a
- short delay.
-
- TO DELETE/MOVE MESSAGES:
- (1) Hit <P>ause during type-out of the message to be deleted.
- (2) Hit <D>elete to continue.
- (3) The message will print out again for confirmation.
- (4) The system will then print out
- "<M>ove <C>opy <D>elete <A>bort? (D/M/C/A) "
-
- If that is indeed the message to be deleted OR moved, then type <D> to delete
- that message, or <M> to move that message. Type <A> if you decide that you
- don't want to do anything with that message.
- (4.a) If you select <M> above, then the system will ask you where:
- "To where (C/R = '<some room>'): " where <some room> is the room where the
- message will be inserted if you simply type a C/R. <some room> is always the
- last room to where a message was moved, or it is the Aide room if the command
- hasn't been used since the system was last brought up. Also, the message moved
- becomes the message that will be used for the <.AI> command (<.AI> is detailed
- later in this file).
- Your name and a copy of the of the deleted/moved message will be
- automatically
- logged in Aide>.
-
- TO JOURNAL A MESSAGE:
- (1) Hit <P>ause during type-out of the message to be deleted.
- (2) Hit <J>ournal to continue.
- (3) The system will ask for a filename to save or append the given message
- to.
- An empty return at this point will abort the operation. Anything else will
- cause the system to attempt to either A) append to the given file or B) create
- the given file if it does not yet exist. A failure (caused by who knows what)
- will cause the system to quit trying. If successful, the message will have
- been saved in a text file.
- NOTE: At present, this capability is restricted to Sysops.
-
- TO DELETE EMPTY ROOMS:
- The ".<A>ide <D>elete" command will eliminate all empty rooms in the system,
- except for permanent and directory rooms. This will be logged under your
- name in Aide>.
-
- TO EDIT A ROOM:
- The ".<A>ide <E>dit" command will allow you to edit the room you are in.
- Type a '?' to find out what you can do with the 'room edit' prompt that you
- should get. All important changes are recorded in the Aide> room.
-
- TO INSERT A MESSAGE:
- The ".<A>ide <I>nsert" command will insert the last message you deleted into
- the room you are currently in. This will be logged under your name in Aide>.
-
- TO KILL A ROOM:
- The ".<A>ide <K>ill" command will delete the room you are in, regardless of
- contents. This will be logged under your name in Aide>.
-
- COPYING FILES:
- Files may be copied into directory rooms by going to the target directory
- room and typing ".<A>ide <A>dd-File". The aide is prompted for a file (can include
- full path), and if the copy is successful, for a file description.
-
- NOTE: For obvious reasons, these commands cannot be used to modify Aide>
- itself. "Deleting" a message in Aide> will >not< remove it from Aide>, but
- >will< make it "most recently deleted" for purposes of inserting the message
- elsewhere.
-
- %AIDEFLR Aide commands for floors.
- %COMMANDS Back to basic commands.
- %MAINHELP Back to the top.
