        [33;1mScan this folder? [33;1m[[37;1my/n[33;1m]

        [36;1mAnswering Y will add the folder to your scan, answering N
        [36;1mwill remove it. If you have  added a new folder, you will
        [36;1mbe prompted to enter a  message number from which TomCat!
        [36;1mwill begin  scanning for new  mail. If you  have answered
        [36;1mYes, you  will then be  prompted to enter  a high message
        [36;1mnumber.

        [33;1mHigh message number [33;1m[[37;1mENTER[33;1m] = 0

        [36;1mDepending  on  your  sysop's  configuration,  mail may be
        [36;1mdeleted from the BBS message base periodically to prevent
        [36;1mmessage files  from growing too  large. Mail more  than a
        [36;1mfew days old may therefore no longer be available.

        [36;1mRemember  also when  changing your  high message numbers,
        [36;1mthat Wildcat! messages are in  a single datafile, and are
        [36;1mnumbered independent of folders.

        [36;1mWildcat!  and  TomCat!  will  always  scan  and send your
        [36;1mpersonal mail, whether it is in an open folder or not. If
        [36;1myou want only  your own mail in a  particular folder, and
        [36;1mdo not want to receive  all the other messages every time
        [36;1myou download, simply close that folder. Your own messages
        [36;1mwill still come through.

    [33;1m[[37;1mR[33;1m]eset all message pointers
        Reset all open folders to message number [33;1m[[37;1m1-11288[33;1m] [33;1m[[37;1mENTER[33;1m] = abort:

        [36;1mYou  can  make  a  global  change  to  your  high message
        [36;1mpointers  to skip  old messages,  or reread  mail you may
        [36;1mhave  missed.  This  change  will  affect  ALL  your open
        [36;1mfolders, so use this option with care.

    [33;1m[[37;1mS[33;1m]end your messages
        Do you want to receive your own messages [33;1m[[37;1my/n[33;1m]?

        [36;1mAnswer Y  if you want  to receive messages  "from" you in
        [36;1myour mail packets. Answer N if you don't.


    [33;1m[[37;1mC[33;1m]heck for new files
    Do you want to check for new files [33;1m[[37;1my/n[33;1m]?

        Do you want to receive ANSI bulletins [33;1m[[37;1my/n[33;1m]?

        [36;1mIf  your sysop  has created  colorized bulletins  and you
        [36;1manswer Y to this question, you will receive these instead
        [36;1mof  the default  non-color bulletins.  Be sure  your mail
        [36;1mreader can display ANSI escape sequences as color and not
        [36;1mjust "garbage" before selecting this option.

        [36;1meditor or word processor.

        [36;1mIf you have selected .QWK  as your default packet option,
        [36;1myour  mail reader  will be  able to  package replies in a
        [36;1mformat that can be accepted  by TomCat! and inserted into
        [36;1mWildcat!'s   message  base.   Be  ready   to  tell   your
        [36;1mcommunications  program to upload your  --------.REP file
        [36;1mwhen TomCat! prompts you to do so.

        [36;1mPlease  remember  to  delete  your  .REP  packet  after a
        [36;1msuccessful upload, to avoid posting duplicate messages.
