  Help              Displays this help information.

  List Accounts     Allows you to view a brief listing of other user accounts.
                    This is good for obtaining the spelling of a user name in
                    case you'd like to use the Transfer Time feature.

  Deposit Time      Allows you to deposit time into your account for use at a
                    later date.  The Sysop defines how much time a user may
                    deposit per day.  If you attempt to exceed this amount,
                    RATS will tell you about it.

                    Also, you may not deposit your full time remaining balance.
                    You may deposit all but 5 minutes of your online time or
                    until maximum defined deposit is reached (whichever comes
                    first).

  Withdraw Time     Allows you to withdraw time from your account.  The Sysop
                    defines how much time a user may withdraw per day.  If you
                    attempt to withdraw more than this amount, RATS will tell
                    you about it.

                    Also, you may not withdraw an amount of time that would
                    allow you to over-step an upcoming System Event.  RATS
                    will keep track of this as well.


  Transfer Time     Allows you to transfer time from your account to another
                    user's account.  This time is drawn out of your current
                    balance, NOT your online time remaining.  The Sysop defines
                    how much time you can transfer per day.

                    Any user who has time transferred to their account, will
                    receive a brief message the next time they logon informing
                    them who transferred the time, and how much time was
                    transferred.

  Deposit K-bytes   Allows you to deposit kilobytes for use at a later date.
                    If the maximum depositable k-bytes are defined at 200,
                    and you have not already downloaded any of this K, then
                    200 k-bytes will be available for deposit.  If you have
                    already downloaded some kilobytes, then the maximum that
                    you can deposit will be the maximum defined value minus
                    the number of kilobytes you have already downloaded on
                    that day.

  Withdraw K-bytes  Allows you to withdraw kilobytes that were previously
                    saved.

  Purchase K-bytes  Allows you to purchase kilobytes with time you have
                    previously banked.  The exchange rate and daily number
                    of K-bytes you can purchase in a day are defined by the
                    Sysop.
