8.6 PROGRAM FILES
The ‘P’ command from the main level will take the user to the program file
system (on-line games). See chapter 11 for program file system details.
8.7 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The ‘SM’ command from the main level will take a user (with proper access
group having system maintenance access) to the system maintenance system.
Refer to chapter 16 for a complete description of the system maintenance
system.
8.8 UPLOADING/DOWNLOADING
The ‘UD’ command used from the main level will take the user to the file
transfer level, at the first ‘joined’ (see chapter 13 for details)
subboard. A user may request to move to a specific subboard by appending a
subboard number to the end of the ‘UD’ command. For example, using ‘UD7’
will move the user to subboard seven. If the user does not have access to
the subboard that he specifies, an attempt will be made to move to subboard
one instead. Furthermore, if the user has access to no subboards at all,
he will be told that the file transfer system is empty, and will be
returned to the main command level. Remember that no users will be allowed
to enter the file transfer area if the ‘U/D’ function of the on-line
functions menu is checkmarked. See chapter 14 for complete details of file
transfer system.
8.9 USER LIST
The ‘UL’ command from the main level will take the user to the user list
system. See chapter 10 for further user list system details.
8.10 DATING SYSTEM
The ‘D’ command from the main level will take the user to the dating
system. The dating system must first be configured by a sysop (simply
entering using the ‘D’ command) before other users may use the system.
Once configured, a sysop may change the access group setting of the system
by using the ‘A’ command at the dating prompt. The configured dating
system creates a new system file ‘sys.dating’ to hold information that the
users enter -- age range, weight range, interests -- the usual dating type
of information.
Only users who use the dating system become participants of the system. A
user may even delete himself from participation in the dating system by
using the ‘K’ command. For a complete list of other dating commands, use
the ‘?’ command. If you do not wish to use the dating system on your
system, simply do not have the file ‘prg.dating’ on your p-files disk or
RAM expander.
8.11 VOTING SYSTEM
The ‘V’ command from the main level will take the user to the voting
system. Users are allowed to vote on topics entered by the sysops. Once
the user has voted (at most once per topic) a tally of percentages for each
vote choice is displayed. The program is fairly user-friendly and easy to
use. If you do not wish to use the voting system on your system, simply do
