|      MESSAGES      |
+--------------------+

R)ead mail..................Selecting this command will prompt you to enter
                            a message number to start the mail reading
                            sequence from.  Choosing enter will take you back
                            to the first public message that you are eligible
                            to read, and from thereon take you message by
                            message thru the mail.
E)nter new mail.............Selecting this menu command will allow you to 
                            leave a new message to someone on the system. You
                            will be asked who it is to, what the subject is,
                            and if it is a Private message. Once you have 
                            confirmed that the system has the correct
                            information, the screen will clear so that you can
                            enter the text of the message. Using <ESC> will
                            stop the editor and ask if you want to save the
                            message.
N)ew personal mail..........If you were notified that you had New Mail waiting
                            when you logged on, and did not read it then, you
                            can use this menu command to read your new mail.
M)ail Search................Will present you with another prompt that allows
                            you to search through all messages for a specific
                            addressee, sender or subject.    
C)omment to Sysop...........Will allow you to enter a message to the sysop. 
                            This message will be marked as Private, with a
                            subject of "User Comment" automatically. Using
                            this menu item is easier if you just want to make
                            a quick comment to the sysop.
L)ocate a user..............Selecting this menu item will allow you to 
                            search the system records for another user. 
                            Depending upon how the sysop has the system set 
                            up, you may be able to scan a list of all users 
                            of the system, and/or search for a user by name.

D)ownload File(s)...........Will prompt you for the files you wish to download,
                            including extensions, as well as the transfer
                            protocol you wish to use (if you have not set a 
                            default transfer protocol). Downloads from GHOST 
                            using the Zmodem transfer protocol may be a 
                            batch transfer of up to whatever number of files 
                            the sysop has designated for the maximum.
U)pload a file..............Will prompt you for the name of your file to
                            upload, including extension, as well as the
                            transfer protocol you wish to use (if you have 
                            not set a default transfer protocol). Once you 
                            inform GHOST of which file you wish to upload, 
                            you will be switched to Mail to leave a 
                            description (private, to the sysop) of the file 
                            that you are uploading. Once you have entered 
                            and saved that description, you will be prompted 
                            to begin your transfer.
F)iles Listing..............Depending on your access level, this menu item will
                            display a list of the files available for 
                            downloading from the system in various formatted 
                            listings.
T)ransfer Protocol..........Selecting this command will bring up the transfer
                            protocol menu, from which you may select a default
                            file transfer protocol. When you first log on to
                            the system, your default is set to none, and the
                            system will prompt you on each file transfer for 
                            the protocol to use. If you have selected a
                            default, and decide that you would rather be
                            prompted each time, pressing <Enter> instead of 
                            choosing a protocol will set your default to none.

                            him.  Note that it may take up to 30 seconds or so
                            to find out if the sysop is available.  If he is
                            not, you will get a message to the effect, and 
                            will be returned to the main menu.

If you require additional help with any of the above, or other items or 
problems, please leave a detailed message for the sysop, leaving your
telephone numbers, so we can call you back to explain the procedures.

All users for their first time logging onto the board will have a limited 
access level, allowing you only to do a few of the above functions.  Once 
your registration information has been confirmed and verified, we will 
automatically increase your access level to normal user, usually, within 
two days. You will notice the change in the log on message, telling you 
that your user status is no longer * New User * or * Limited User *, but
* Validated User *. This will give you standard level access, permitting 
downloading, uploading etc....  There is also an Advanced User Access level 
permitting nearly unlimited access to areas of the BBS.  Only the sysop(s), 
current staff, or associates will be given this access level.

Thank-you
