Running the NetMail Program
The first thing you need to know is how to start up NetMail. For MPE users you merely
enter:
:RUN NETMAIL.SYS.THREEK
If you see a “[NetMail/INBOX]” when you start up NetMail/3000, then you are in
“command mode.” To change your display to “menu mode” (this manual deals with the
menu mode interface) enter the command “SET MODE=MENU” and hit return (leave off
the quotes). Your screen will then re-paint and you will see the menu display as described.
Once you start up NetMail, you will be greeted by a heading line displayed across the top
of your screen, a list of whatever mail messages are currently in your mailbox, and will be point-
ing to the list of messages in your INBOX folder. You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard
(up arrow, down arrow, left arrow, right arrow) as well as the “page up”, “page down”, or “home”
(diagonal arrow) keys on your keyboard to move the current message pointer to a message you are
interested in. Note that the current message pointer is highlighted or inversed and moves up and
down as you use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard.
At this point, you can either move the cursor to a message you are interested in (and hit
RETURN to read it or the DELETE MESSAGE function key (f4) to delete that message), or you
can select the MENU BAR (f3) function key to activate the pull-down menu at the top of the
screen. Note that since many menu operations operate on the “current” message, you may still
want to select an appropriate message before activating the menu bar.
