Squish Automatic Echo Manager                                             SQAEM
■─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────■

SQAEM (pronounced "scream" without the R) is a Squish based Areafix program. It
allows the nodes or points receiving mail from us to make changes in the echoes
that  they  receive.  It allows them to add or delete echoes all  automatically
without our intervention.

SQAEM uses messages addressed AREAFIX or SQAEM on our system as messages for to
manage  what  areas our nodes have selected.  It expects to see the  your  node
password  in the subject line and a list of echoes to add and/or delete in  the
body  of the text.   There can also be commands after the subject that  request
different  reports.  This follows the AREAFIX standard.  Commands can  also  be
placed inside the text on their own line.

Subject   Text
command   command    Description
-------   -------    ---------------------------------------------------------
  -L      %LIST      The list command will generate a separate message to be
                     sent with a list of areas available and their multi-line
                     description.

  -Q      %QUERY     The query command will cause a list of areas with a
                     one-line description to be appended to the returning
                     message.  An astericks will be placed in front of the
                     area name if that area is linked with that node.

  -H      %HELP      Sends a copy of a help file.

  -U      %UNLINKED  Sends a unlinked area list formated exactly like the LIST
                     command.

  -LI     %LINKED    Sends a linked area list formated exactly like the LIST
                     command.

  -F      %REQ       Sends a list of forwarded requests formated exactly like
                     the LIST command.

          %CHANGE    Allows a system to change either their password.
                     The syntax is:

                     %CHANGE PASSWORD <new_password>
                       <new_password> is an unbroken word.

                     You can shorten the PASSWORD to four characters.

An example SQAEM message is
+===========================================================+
|       To: Sqaem                                           |
|  Subject: MyPass -Q                                       |
+===========================================================+
|  TUB                                                      |
|  %CHANGE PASS NewPass                                     |
|  ---                                                      |
+===========================================================+

This  message  will cause the message area TUB to be selected for  your
node, change your SQAEM password to NewPass, and send the query report back to
your system with the next mail session
