‘path’ of subdirectories you chose to arrive where you are now.
B/UD If you are in the UD Base, UD will simply read the subboard
information (see the maintenance section below). If you are in the
message base, UD will transport you to the UD Base directly,
bypassing MAIN. The same holds true for the ‘B’ command. In the
Message Base, this will read the subboard information. In the UD Base
this will transport you to the Message Base.
P Move directly to the P-files area, bypassing MAIN. See the
maintenance section to select a default P-file path to move to.
J n Join/drop a subboard (which subboard, defaults to the current
subboard). When a subboard is ‘dropped’, all commands which globally
process (such as Read All, Search Globally, and others) will skip “go
around” dropped subboards.
VI View the name of the sub-operators. If you have designated
individuals to be ‘sub-operators’ for a particular subboard, this
command will list these people. See the ‘EL’ command for information
concerning adding sub-operators.
M Mail to a sub-operator. Again, the View list will be displayed, and
a prompt will be given to choose which one of the sub-operators you
would like to leave mail for. Generally, it is desirable that users
leave the sub-operator messages concerning his subboard, instead of
leaving them in general feedback.
+ or - Forward, reverse read direction. Normally, the order of
reading messages and scanning their titles is in the “forward” direction,
from 1 to 2, to 3, etc. The - (minus sign) command can be used to
reverse this, reading from the newest (highest numbered) to the oldest.
‘+’ (pus sign) will restore things to normal.
WU n Write to the uploader of file number n in the UD Base.
AR Read the list of archived files in the UD Base.
BL Display the number of free blocks on the UD Base subboards drive.
14.3 SELECTING ITEMS
*n Select or unselect an item. This option simply adds an item to a
list of ‘selected’ items which may be operated on as a group. If an
item is again selected, the effect is actually to ‘unselect’ it. Note
that a selection request may be denied for the same reasons that a
download request may be.
SS Scan selections displays the list of selected items so far. A
summary is displayed of the total number of items, their length in bytes,
and estimated download time.
DS Download selected files. If you are using a batch protocol (Ymodem
or MultiPunter), this command may be used to transfer all files at once.
As a file is successfully transferred, it is removed from the selection
list so that transfer may be resumed if ever it is interrupted.
