;*  This is file demonstrates how to use the BBS Display Codes;

;*  First of all, the ;* control marks a line as a comment.

;U This file uses BBS Display Codes

This is regular text.  It is displayed, as is, in the colour.

;S
The ;S control starts slow-typing.  This is useful for getting people's
attention, though you have to be careful not to over-use it, since it is
fairly annoying.  This control can be typed in only at the console.
;S

;U The ;U control underlines things -- or makes them inverse if you have colour

When you have a list of things, you can make the list easier to read by using
the ;L control...

;*
;* Notice how we use the ~ character to indicate what not to underline.

Inverse effects can be useful for making things stand out.

The colours codes are:

A - Black    F - Magenta     K - LightGreen     P - White
B - Blue     G - Brown       L - LightCyan
C - Green    H - LightGray   M - LightRed

BBS Display Codes are an alternative to ANSI displays.  You may find that
they makes it easier for you to give your BBS a consistant appearance.

Of course, you can use all line-drawing characters.  For example:

;C EH
ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿
³                 ³
³  THIS IS A BOX  ³
³                 ³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
;C LA

People who do not have IBM characters will see a translated version of the
line-drawing characters.

Every method used in this file can be used either in messages or in the
various F-*.TXT files located in the BBS directory.

;E  This marks the end of the file

You can keep other material down here, after the ;E control.
