Text before the first slash is sent to the user as the subject prompt; text after the first
slash is sent as the message text prompt.
11.9.6 Monitor MailDrop Operation
The local user (SYSOP) can monitor the dialog by setting MDMON ON. The PX-232 stays
in command mode during remote MailDrop access.
11.9.7 SYSOP MailDrop Commands
The MailDrop commands that you the SYSOP have access to are the same as those de-
scribed in chapter 5 of the manual on MailDrop Operation.
11.9.8 Remote User MailDrop Commands
When a remote user has logged onto your MailDrop the following commands are available
to the distant station:
A, B, H, J, K, L, R, S, V, ?
The remote user may end a command with either <CTRL-Z> or a carriage return.
A brief description of each command follows in the next sections. The description is ex-
panded where the command operation differs from the Packet MailDrop section found in
chapter 5.
11.9.8.1 A (ABORT) (Remote only)
The "A" command aborts the listing or reading of messages by the remote calling sta-
tion as described in chapter 5. The difference in Pactor is that the remote user must
send the ACHG command first to reverse the direction of the link before he can issue
the Abort command.
The remote user also has the ability to abort a command that may have been mis-typed
by typing "///" on the same line as the bad command.
11.9.8.2 B (BYE)
The "B" command logs the remote station off the MailDrop. In Pactor the remote sta-
tion may gracefully shut down the link with the RECEIVE character (<CTRL-D>) or the
CWID character (<CTRL-F>).
11.9.8.3 H (HELP)
The "H" command sends the remote station a help list of the available commands
shown in chapter 5.
11.9.8.4 J (JLOGI (Remote only command)
The "J" command sent by the distant station will cause the MailDrop to send the list of
stations who have logged in to your Pactor MailDrop.
11.9.8.5 K n (KILL n [mine])
The "K no command deletes message number On" from the MailDrop as described in
chapter S. The "KM" command will kill all of your messages that have been read.
