[Q]...Quit to the Main Menu
   Exits the Message Menu and returns to the Main Menu.

[J].........Join Conference
   Used to change conferences.  Each conference contains ONE message section
   and may also have a number of file areas available.  Conference
   descriptions are displayed when this command is selected, and additional
   help files in that area fully explain procedures for changing conferences.

[R]...........Read Messages
   Reading messages involves selection of the messages to be read from a
   sub-menu.  The choices within the READ command are fully explained in a
   help file within that area.

[S]...........Scan Messages
   Scanning messages differs from reading in that the text of the messages is
   not displayed, only the header information.  It is used in cases where a
   quick review of the messages is needed.  The choices within the SCAN
   command are fully explained in a help file within that area.

[E].....Enter a New Message
   The message entry command has a number of features.  It begins with prompts
   for the recipient and the subject of the message.  Help prompts are
   available throughout message entry for the line editor and the full-screen
   editor.

[K]..........Kill a Message
   This is a routine for erasing old messages directly from the Message Menu.
   It requires that (1) the message to be deleted is either to or from the
   user who is attempting to erase same, and (2) that the message number is
   already known.  Messages may also be deleted interactively while reading
   them in the message conference.

[G].......Goodbye & Log-Off
   Disconnects and terminates the connection.

[H]..............Help Level
   WILDCAT! supports three different levels of menu prompts. The first and the
   default value for new users is the Novice level.  At this level, the user
   is presented with full dynamic menus, .BBS plain menus or .SCR color menus,
   and a command line prompt containing the name of current menu area (MAIN,
   MESSAGE, FILE, SYSOP), and the first character for a particular option in
   the current menu.  The characters presented agree with the letter
   designator selected for that option.

   The second level is the Regular level. At this level, only the command
   line is presented with the name of the current area of the system and
   the first letter option designators. No menus are displayed at this level.

   The final and highest level is the Expert level.  At this level, only the
   particular area of the system is indicated.  No menus or letter
   designators are included.  The HELP LEVEL command is available in ALL
   major menus and the usage is exactly the same in each of them.

[?]............Command Help
   Displays this Help information screen.

[F]...............File Menu
   Presents the File Menu directly, where activity such as uploading and
   downloading take place.

[U]...Update Conf Scan/Read
   This option is used to specify which conferences are checked when mail is
   read or scanned using the Read [A]ll or Scan [A]ll commands.  This is used
   to select which conferences you will want available to you based upon your
   security level.  This system has the possibility of having 100's of
   message conferences and normally you will only be interested in selected
   ones.  By selecting which ones you are interested in, you will narrow
   down your possible selections when using the [J]oin Conference option.
   Of course, these selections can be changed at any time when conferences
   are added to or deleted from the BBS.
