         There are five entries on the Main Menu. They are:

         (V)iew Items -  This allows you several different methods of
         viewing the items that people have entered. You can list all
         the items in a particular category, list all the items of a
         particular type, do a word search for words contained in the
         items, or list all items. There is more help available on
         these options from the VIEW MENU.

         (E)nter Items - If you have an item For Sale, Wanted, For
         Trade or For Give away, this is where you enter the item. The
         program will keep up with your name and the date you entered
         the item automatically, and will prompt you for the type and
         catagory of the item. The program will not ask you for your
         phone number, as some folks don't want to leave that
         information. If you do, then leave your phone number in the
         description of the item. You will have plenty of room to
         describe your item. The prompts throughout the ENTER ITEM
         process are self explanatory and easy to use.  Only 'FOR
         SALE' items will ask for a dollar amount, as dollar amounts
         usually aren't applicable to the other three types of items.

         (D)elete Items - This is used when the item you entered is no
         longer valid. If you have sold an item for example, you will
         want to delete that item from the database. Choosing (D)elete
         Items will present you with a list of all the items YOU have
         entered, and prompt you for which one to delete.  You may
         only delete your own items, and the program will only list
         your own items for you to delete.

         (H)elp - The screen you are reading now.

         (R)eturn to <BBS> - Takes you back to the bbs you engaged
         this door from.
