real name, and phone number.
17.5 MAIL COMMANDS
MC Forced mail creation. A forced mail file is a file that is read to a
user as soon as he signs on to the system. Forced mail may not be
aborted. To create a forced mail file for a user, use the ‘MC’
command. To remove a forced mail file, use the ‘MR’ command.
There are four meta-commands that may be used in a forced mail file. Each
command used must be placed on a line by itself.
%e Will erase the file after the user has read it.
%o Will disconnect after the user has read the file.
%s Will suspend a user after he has read the file until a specific date.
The date should be laced immediately following the ‘%s’ command
YYMMDD format, such as 920101 for January 1st, 1992.
%f Will give the user option of leaving feedback before continuing with
the rest of the file.
17.6 FILE MANIPULATION

You will be prompted for a filename or path to read. Adding ‘+p’ will

BASIC file. If the filename has any spaces in it, it MUST be put in
quotes.
17.6.2 Write/Edit a file (WF)
You will be prompted for a filename (or path) to edit. The file will be
loaded into memory for editing. If you ‘abort’ the file, you will have an
opportunity to delete it altogether. This provides an easy way to edit
menus and other text files on-line. If the file does not exist, then C-NET
will make a file with the specified filename, and wait for you to enter
