ABBREVIATED LIST OF BBS COMMANDS. 

To access the local BBS, connect to your local node (C BAXTER) and type
the command BBS and hit ENTER. After you tell the BBS bye, don't forget
to tell the node Bye AFTER it welcomes you back.

Here is an overview of what the BBS-commands do:

? : Reading the help file. Type  ?[COMMAND]  to obtain help on a basic
    command.

! : Provide a short and minimal information on the BBS usage.

A : Abort the BBS output at any time.
    When reading messages with paging, the response N and C are
    available, too. Use N to skip the reading of the rest of current
    message, and start on the next message. Use C to read the rest of
    the message(s) without paging. 

B or Bye : Disconnects the BBS.  Note that the "last listed" parameter
    is updated. When the user does a "hard disconnect", the last-listed
    parameter is NOT updated.

C : Enters the conference mode, multiconnection. 
CW: Shows a list of the callsigns involved in the current conference.

H : Shows short help.  For help with specific commands, see the ?
    command.

I : Information about this BBS. 
I callsign : Gives the information on callsign taken from the white
    pages database. Callsign can include wildcards.

JK : Shows the last 20 callsigns connected to the BBS.

K msg# : Deletes a message identified by its number.
KM     : Deletes all the messages addressed to you, that have been 
         read. The messages not read will not be deleted.

NOTE: If you wish to list all messages in a certain category, use the
     LC command to change which category you are currently looking at.
     Then other L commands will list ONLY messages in that category.
     When you want to go back to listing all messages enter "LC *".
     LC ?  lists all the current categories.

L  : Lists the new messages since the last usage of this command.
LB : Lists bulletins.
LC [category] : List the messages which "TO" field matches category.
    * (star) allows to list all the messages and should be the default
    value. Type "LC *" to see all messages. LC alone gives the current
    category. Category is recorded for each user while disconnecting.
LD> YYMMDD : Lists the messages received after the specified date.
LD< YYMMDD : Lists the messages received before the specified date.
LE : List messages that could not be forwarded.
LF : List FORWARDED messages.  
LH : List HELD messages.
LK : List KILLED messages.      
LM : Lists the messages TO YOU.
LN : Lists the NEW messages TO YOU.
LP : List PRIVATE messages.    
LU : Lists all unread messages to/from the user.
LL 10: Lists the last 10 messages.
LR : Equivalent to L but the messages are listed in reverse order.
LS text :  Searches for a text in the messages titles. (wildcards OK)
LT : List Traffic (for NTS-messages).
L< Callsign : Lists messages originated from [Callsign]. (wildcards OK)     
L> Callsign : Lists messages destinated to [Callsign]. (wildcards OK)
L@ [BBS] : Lists the messages VIA BBS if specified. L@ alone lists the
    message without route. (wildcards OK)

ON number : Defines the number of the thousand base for the messages.
    Example: ON 37 defines number 37000 as being the base for numbering
    the messages. Then the command R 25 will cause the message 37025 to
    be read, although R 36025 will actually read the message nr 36025.
OP : Validates or disables the scrolling of pages.
OP nbr of lines : Initializes the page scrolling

    'area' name listed. Examples of area: ALLMO, BBSAR, SMONAR, ALLUS.
SC Msg# Callsign @ BBSCALLSIGN : Copies a message or bulletin to the
    specified callsign. Such a copy will always be of the "personal"
    type. This is a way to send a message to more than one person.
SP callsign : Sends a private message. (Same format as S above.)
SR [Msg# [title]] : Replies to a message already read or formerly
    suppressed, or to a message matching the specified number. If the
    title is not stated, it will be the title of the read message,
    with the mention "Re:" placed ahead.

X : Toggles "normal" or "expert" status. "Normal" grants the extended
    menus, "expert" provides only minimal information.
