Reading messages
----------------

  After activating the message-read command, you will be first shown the
message in the base where your lastread pointer is set to. At the bottom of
the screen, a small prompt line will be shown which will give you the
following options:


    Next- Attempt to go to the next message in the base. If possible, the
          message pointer will be incremented to the next message in the
          area. It will be displayed to you and the prompt line will once
          again be shown to you.

    Prev- Attempt to go to the previous message in the area. If possible, the
          message pointer will be decremented to the message preceding the
          one that you just read.

       #- Jump to message number. Don't actually type a number sign (#), just
          type the number of the message you want to go to. If possible, the
          message pointer will be set to that value.

   Reply- This will allow you to enter a reply message to the message that you
          are currently reading. For more information on entering messages,
          please see the next help file.

   All  - This will cause EchoDor to start sending you each message without
          pausing.  You can use this function if you wish to "capture" the
          messages for reading offline.  If you wish to stop the sending
          press ANY key and EchoDor will stop at the end of the current
          message.

    Quit- Quit to message menu. This will bring you back to the main menu of
          the message system.

    Kill- If the current message is either to or from you, then you will be
          presented with the kill option. The kill option will physically
          erase the message from disk. It will be no longer readable and
          CANNOT BE UN-KILLED.

    Save- This command will capture the current message to a file called
          USERMAIL.TXT you may download this file from the files area of
          the bbs.  You may also download a file called USERMAIL.ZIP. They
          contain the same messages, but the ZIP file is much smaller.  You
          will need a UnArcing utility to access the messages in this file.

    Edit- If the current message is either to or from you, then you will also
          be presented with this option. It will allow you to change the content
          of the current message.
