                    *** JIMMER On-Line HELP ***

A)ll pointers reset ...

    This selection lets you reset all the pointers in the conferences.
    Resetting a conference's pointer makes all mail that would normally
    be presented as 'NEW' since your last call as 'READ'.  The results
    are visible in the "L"ook for new mail selection where no new
    messages will be reported after "A"ll pointers reset is executed.

B)ulletins included? [y/n] ...

    The 'bulletins included' selection lets the user retrieve new
    bulletins.  It is a toggle.  This means that repeated selections 
    of the "B" command turn this selection on and off.  The current 
    selection is displayed in brackets as either "Y" or "N".  These 
    choices mean either "Y"es, new bulletins will be included with 
    the download, or "N"o, new bulletins will not be included.  "New"
    bulletins are defined as those created since the date shown next
    to them in the JIMMER main menu.

C)olor menus? [y/n] ...

    The 'color menus' selection lets the user toggle on and off the
    color screens.  Also, ANSI codes are turned off if color is off.
    The current selection is displayed in the square brackets as
    either "Y" or "N".  These choices mean either "Y"es, color and
    ANSI are on or, "N"o, color and ANSI are not on.

D)ownload Mail Packet ...

    The 'download mail packet' selection lets the user retrieve all
    mail selections.  To successfully use this menu item, a set of
    conferences must be selected using the "S" command (see below).  If
    no conferences are selected, an error message will appear telling
    the user that s/he must first select some conferences to download.
    After the download has occurred, the high message pointer for
    each conference is updated to reflect the download.

E)rase selected conferences ...

    The 'erase selected conferences' command lets the user "unmark" or
    erase the conference selections set up using the "S" command.

F)ile list included? [y/n] ...

    The 'file list included' selection lets the user retrieve new
    file descriptions.  It is a toggle.  This means that repeated 
    selections of the "F" command turn this selection on and off. 
    The current selection is displayed in brackets as either "Y" or
    "N".  These choices mean either "Y"es, new file descriptions
    will be included with the download, or "N"o, new file descriptions
    will not be included.  "New" file descriptions are defined as 
    those created since the date shown next to them in the JIMMER 
    main menu.
    
G)oodbye (logoff) ...

    The 'goodbye (logoff)' selection lets the user drop carrier
    without returning to the BBS.  In effect, this selection just lets
    the you hangup the phone.

    <NOTE: This BBS may not support the G)oodbye option>

H)elp ...

    You are reading it now!  Ask your Sysop to update this file if you
    feel you need more information on how to use JIMMER.

J)IMMER mode (download and goodbye) ...

    The 'JIMMER mode' selection is just a combination of the
    "D"ownload and "G"oodbye functions.  This can be handy for BBSers
    using scripts.

    <NOTE: This BBS may not support the J)IMMER option>

K)eys ...

    The "KEYS" command sets JIMMER's keys either "HOT" or "COLD".  "HOT"
    keys do not require you hit the 'ENTER' key to terminate the command.
    "COLD" keys require the 'ENTER' key be pressed prior to JIMMER  
    processing the command.  Menus that require you to enter conference
    names, or responses that require more than one character are never
    "hot".

L)ook for new mail ...

    The 'look for new mail' command shows the user which conferences
    have new mail waiting.  This command functions much like the mail
    scan within RBBS, but JIMMER's output does not include the "mail
    for you" flag.  

M)odify colors ...

    You can change the colors of all parts of the JIMMER menu with the
    "M" command.  A secondary menu comes up and lets you pick the colors
    for many of the prompts.  You may also "highlight" (high intensity)
    or remove highlighting (normal intensity) within the modify colors
    menu.
    
N)ews file included? [y/n] ...

    The 'news file included' selection lets the user retrieve new
    news items.  It is a toggle.  This means that repeated selections
    of the "N" command turn this selection on and off.  The current 
    selection is displayed in brackets as either "Y" or "N".  These 
    choices mean either "Y"es, new news items will be included with 
    the download, or "N"o, new news items will not be included.
    "New" news items are defined as those created since the date 
    shown next to them in the JIMMER main menu.

P)rofile ...

    The 'profile' selection lets you either save or recall your
    profile from JIMMER.  Your profile is a collection of your color
    preferences, conference selections and download criteria, and main
    menu JIMMER toggles.  Use the profile function to avoid constantly
    re-entering your settings while in the JIMMER door.

    Also, if you change some settings while in JIMMER, and you find
    you wish to restore them, you can recall your saved profile using
    the profile command.

R)eturn to the BBS ...

    The "R" command returns you to the host RBBS.  JIMMER exists and
    the DOOR batch file reloads the BBS.

S)elect conferences ...

    The "S" command shows you a list of available conferences.  You
    may select one conference name at a time from the list and then
    select from a sub-menu the criteria for selecting which mail to
    include in the download.  For instance, you can select all new
    mail "S"ince your last call.  You can receive "A"ll mail.  You can
    enter a number, "n" from 1 to 999 which will tell JIMMER to send
    the last "n" messages in the conference.  There are more choices.
    Use the "S" command to see them all.

T)ransfer protocol? ...

    You may select from "X"modem, "Y"modem, Ymodem-"G", and "Z"modem 
    protocols.  JIMMER merely shells out to DSZ.  If the protocol 
    selection shown on the JIMMER main menu is "NONE", you will be 
    prompted just before the transfer occurs to select protocol.  
    During this secondary prompt, you may choose to "C"ancel the 
    download.  Ymodem-G is offered to all callers regardless of
    the type of connect you achieve on the main BBS.  Callers without
    error checking hardware should not use Ymodem-G.

U)pload Mail Packet ...

    The 'upload mail packet' selection lets the user send replies.
    The user is immediately prompted to begin the upload after
    entering "U".  After the transfer is complete, the mail is
    inserted into the appropriate conferences.  The node id for
    the BBS you are connected to is displayed for users who need
    prompting to remember the name of the '.REP' packet.

    <NOTE: You can ONLY upload mail into conferences that you have
           already joined from within RBBS>

X)pert mode toggle ...

    This menu eliminates much of the textual information that is
    displayed within JIMMER.  This is helpful for users with slower
    modems so the repetitive displays and menus are not shown over and
    over again.  Once you have a feeling and knowledge of JIMMER's
    menu selections, try this feature.

*) Set Date ...
    
    This menu item lets you set the date so JIMMER knows how far back
    to search for new news items, bulletins, and/or files.  Use "S" if
    you want JIMMER to look up your "date last called" so you always 
    get just the recent listings of these RBBS features.
