14.4 OTHER COMMANDS
ED n Edit the contents of a Post in the message base.
N n This command is equivalent to the Read command with the exception
that only New responses will be displayed. If there are no new
responses, this command is completely equivalent to the Read command.
E n Examine an item’s contents. You will be prompted as to whether you’d
like an ASCII or a Hex display. Only text files meant to be read
(typed) may be displayed legibly in ASCII.
K n Kill an item. A system operator, or a user with the proper privilege
flag set may delete any file or item. In addition, a user with the
proper privilege flag set may delete his own files and messages. At
this time, individual responses to an item may not be killed.
When a file is killed, an option is provided to be able to “remove” upload
credits that were given for a file. Credits subtracted in this way will
take effect the next time the user calls.
Y n Edit item’s attributes. Using this command, a system operator (or
sub-operator) can mark any file with any of several flags, or edit parts
of its header.
F Free download. Credits will not be subtracted, and charges
will not be made for such a file.
P Protected, Auto-maintenance will “skip” this file, even if it
is “old”.
R Response disabled. Only system operators will be able to
respond to this item.
S Sysop favorite. When a user reads this item “sysop favorite”
will be displayed.
N Re-name the item.
I Change the short description of a file.
D Change the date of an item.
A n About an item. This provides a simple tabular list of all users who
have written responses for the item, along with the dates of these
messages.
W n Write file info after upload. In the case of a batch upload, and the
user misses his chance to add descriptions to his uploads immediately
after the upload (ran out of time or simply aborted the process), he
may use this command to “go back” and provide the descriptions necessary
to receive credit for his uploads.

the main level menu are also available here. These include; Chat,
Feedback, Help, MSend, Off, Status, Time. See chapter 6 for a complete
