 Fortress is network capable.  This system is a member of
the Citadel network and, as such, networks designated rooms and mail.  The rooms
which are networked can be identified by their room prompts, which differ from
the normal room prompts (">" and "]"); networked room prompts are ")" for normal
network rooms, and ":" for directory network rooms.
 
 Network rooms can carry both local messages and network messages.  Normal
messages are entered as they are in any other room, and will remain on the
system that they were entered on.  Net messages, on the other hand, are not
only present on the current system, but also are sent during networking to
other systems that are participating in the networking effort for this room.
 
 When Citadels enter networking mode, they are unavailable to users.  Currently,
this system is in networking mode from *****NETWORK*****TIME*****, and this
could be longer in the future as more links are added to the net.
 
 In order to use the networking capabilities of Fortress AT ALL, you must
acquire permission from the sysop.  Leave mail to 'Sysop' to request net
privileges.
 
 If you don't have net privileges, and are reading a shared room, you may
read only local messages by using the extended command .R(ead) L(ocal) [NORA]
(New, Old, Reverse, or All).  So, for example, to read all the old local 
messages in a shared room, you'd use .RLO (.R(ead) L(ocal) O(ld)).
 
 Assuming you have net privileges, you may use the command:
 
 .E(nter) N(et-Message)
 
 If you are in the Mail> room, you will then be asked for destination system.
An empty C/R here aborts the message.  A question mark ("?") prints out a list
of systems that are currently linked to Fortress, a convenience in case you
don't quite know the spelling of a system's net name or can't remember.  Also
available, is a list of `known' nodes in the NETPATHS helpfile.
 
 -> !NOTE! <-  Recipient's name for net mail CAN NOT be checked!  Therefore,
be VERY VERY careful when spelling the recipient's name.  Mail to the 'sysop'
of another system works, too.
 
 If you are in a shared room other than the Mail> room, enter your message as
usual. The message header will have attached to it "@this-system" to let
everyone know that it's a net-message.
 
 There are a couple of other ways to enter a net-message:

 In Mail>, you may send a net message by using [E]nter and entering
'name@system' when Citadel asks you for the recipient (e.g. cmc@undermind).

 If you started a normal message in a shared room OR Mail>, you may make it
a net-message by doing a [N]etwork save instead of [S]ave when you finish
the message.
 
 (if you are going to charge for network mail, do it here!)
