 └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ @0F@

   @0A@WILDCAT! makes extensive use of menuing throughout the system.  After
   completion of the login process, you are placed at this, the Main Menu.
   From here you have a wide selection of functions as well as various
   sub-menus.  These sub-menus contain information relative to their
   function.  For example, the Message Menu is used for everything related to
   messages and the Files Menu allows uploading and downloading and so on.

   The menuing structure is setup to facilitate easy transition from one
   menu to another, often without having to return to the Main Menu.  Below
   is a list of available options from the Main Menu.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@W@0E@]......Who Else is Online@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@Selecting this choice in a multi-line system, presents you with a list
     of callers who are presently logged on, their respective node numbers
     and their current status.  If a node is up but has no one logged on at
     the moment, it is reported as "Waiting for Calls".

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@T@0E@].Talk with other Node(s)@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@If a multi-node system is in operation, this choice will allow you to
     enter into PRIVATE or public GROUP chat with callers on the other
     nodes.  Additional help is available after selecting this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@J@0E@].......Join a Conference@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This command is used to leave the current conference and move to
     another.  A conference is simply a section of the BBS with a single
     message base different from any other conference.  A certain conference
     may or may not allow file transfers depending on the configuration.  If
     allowed, file transfers may draw files from any area you have access
     to, even if it's from another conference.  Additional information is
     available after selecting this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@M@0E@]............Message Menu@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This option takes you directly to the Message Menu.  The Message Menu
     allows you to read/reply to your messages both public and private.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@F@0E@]...............File Menu@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@Takes you directly to the File Menu where file uploads and downloads
     are available.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@C@0E@]...Comments to the SysOp@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This choice enables you to enter a private message to the system
     operator.  WILDCAT! makes these comments an integral part of the
     message base for easy reply by the SysOp, if desired.  If the BBS has
     Echomail, you need to be very careful not to save the comment in one of
     those conferences.  Instead, comments to the SysOp should be saved in
     one of the local conferences.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@B@0E@]...........Bulletin Menu@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@The Bulletin menu could be considered a sub-menu of sorts, in that it
     presents you with the options of reading one or more bulletins by
     selecting a bulletin number, re-listing the bulletins that are
     available for display, or simply returning to the Main Menu. If any
     bulletins have been updated since your last logon, you will be
     presented a with a listing of those bulletins by number similar to
     below.

     @0E@Bulletins updated: @0C@1, 2
     @0E@Enter bulletin # [@0F@1..699@0E@], [@0F@R@0E@]elist menu, [@0F@N@0E@]ew, [@0F@ENTER@0E@] to Quit:

          @0E@[@0F@R@0E@]elist -
               @0A@Selecting this option will redisplay the bulletin menu.

          @0E@[@0F@N@0E@]ew -
               @0A@This will display in numerical order, only those bulletins
               that have been updated since your last call to the BBS.  If
               more than one bulletin has been updated, you will be prompted
               as shown below.

               @0E@End of bulletin #1. Continue reading NEW Bulletins? [@0F@Y@0E@]

     @0A@You can then continue reading the newly updated bulletins, or enter
     @0E@[@0F@N@0E@]o@0A@ to return to the Main Menu.  Depending on the system configuration,
     bulletins may vary depending on which conference you are currently in.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@P@0E@]..........Page the SysOp@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This selection is used to page the system operator.  The response of
     the local system may vary depending on whether the current time is
     within the SysOp's paging hours, whether the override toggle is on, and
     whether the page bell is turned on or off.  If the conditions allow,
     the BBS will then send a series of beeps to notify the SysOp that
     someone is online and would like to chat with him/her.

     Pages are only made if the time falls within the SysOps defined paging
     hours.  Please try and be courteous and not over use this function.
     You won't make friends paging the SysOp at 3 am.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@I@0E@]..Initial Welcome Screen@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This option re-displays the information you saw when you initially
     logged on to the BBS.  This is useful for reviewing some information
     that you might have previously overlooked, thus saving you from having
     to logoff and log back on again.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@Q@0E@]...........Questionnaire@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@You are presented with a menu screen containing numbered listings of
     questionnaires made available by the SysOp.  Select the desired
     questionnaire to answer.  Depending on the system configuration, it's
     possible for questionnaires to vary depending on what conference you're
     currently in.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@V@0E@]...........Verify a User@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This option allows you to enter in a complete user name to check and
     see when was the last time they called the BBS.  If the name you
     entered was not found, you are prompted if you would like to continue
     the search using the information supplied.  If you continue, the system
     will start displaying user names with the search based upon the users
     last names.  Searches for user names are case insensitive.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@Y@0E@]...........Your Settings@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@With this option, you are allowed to make changes to certain information
     in your user record.  When selected, a complete screen of your modifiable
     settings is displayed.  You then have the ability to change various
     personal information like your phone number, computer type etc, plus
     preference settings when using the BBS.  Additional help is available
     after selecting this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@S@0E@].......System Statistics@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This menu choice displays statistical information about the system.  It
     may be a simple summary of the number of callers and the date the
     system began, or may go into extreme detail with percentages of callers
     at each baud rate and include graphs of system time usage, frequently
     downloaded files and so on.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@U@0E@]............Userlog List@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@You are presented with a complete list of users on the system,
     displayed in alphabetical order, along with the date they last called,
     their calling point of origin and PC type.  If you are currently in a
     Alias type conference, instead of displaying regular user names, only
     the Alias names will be shown.  The usual screen pauses are in effect
     while using this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@D@0E@]...Doors - Live Programs@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@The door feature in WILDCAT! allows you to run other programs made
     available by the SysOp through a menu choice.  Doors can be almost any
     type of online program ranging from database type programs to multi-
     player games.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@N@0E@]..............Newsletter@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This menu choice displays information supplied by the SysOp and can be
     a variety of different types of information.  Whenever this information
     has been updated, upon login, you will automatically be notified and
     asked if you would like to view it.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@G@0E@].......Goodbye & Log-Off@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@Terminates the current connection and disconnects.  If your current
     Help level is set to the NOVICE mode, choosing this option gives you a
     way to "back out" of the command.  Selecting this command brings up a
     friendly question, "Are you sure you want to logoff?".  If you respond
     with a "Y", then normal logoff procedures are begun.  Otherwise,
     WILDCAT! will assume the command has been entered in error, and will
     return to current menu.

     If your current help level settings are set to REGULAR or EXPERT, this
     extra prompt will no longer be displayed.  WILDCAT! assumes that you
     know the commands well enough to deliberately wish to logoff.  This
     command is available in ALL major menus and performs exactly the same
     in each of them.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@H@0E@]..............Help Level@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@WILDCAT! supports three different levels of menu prompts.  Selecting
     this option presents the following sub-prompt:

          @0E@Current help level is set at: @0F@NOVICE

          @0E@[@0F@N@0E@]ovice  : @0B@Complete menus, full command line.
          @0E@[@0F@R@0E@]egular : @0B@No menus, command line only.
          @0E@[@0F@E@0E@]xpert  : @0B@No menus or command line.

          @0E@Help level desired [@0F@N R E@0E@] ? ? [@0F@N@0E@]

          @0A@Below is a explanation of the above options.

          @0E@[@0F@N@0E@]ovice -
               @0A@The first and default value for new users is the Novice
               level.  At this level, the user is presented with full,
               dynamic monochrome or color menus, and a command line
               prompt containing the name of current menu area (Main,
               Message, File) and the first character for a particular
               option in the current menu.  The characters presented agree
               with the letter designator selected for that option.

          @0E@[@0F@R@0E@]egular -
               @0A@This is the second level.  At this level, only the current
               conference number/description, time and command line option
               letter designator's are displayed.  No menus are displayed at
               this level.  Shown below is a sample display prompt.

               @0E@Conf: @0B@"[0] - Main Message Area"@0E@, time on @0F@1@0E@, with @0F@59@0E@ left
               MAIN MENU: [@0F@M F C B P I Q V Y S U O G H ? J W T@0E@] ? [ ]

          @0E@[@0F@E@0E@]xpert -
               @0A@The final and highest level is the Expert level.  At this
               level, only the current conference number and description
               along with the menu name is displayed.  Shown below is a
               sample display prompt.

               @0E@General Message Area (0), @0F@MAIN MENU@0E@: ? [ ]

               @0A@Selecting this level requires a reasonable understanding of
               all the options.  It's primarily designed for speed.  If at
               any time you forget what a certain option letter is, pressing
               @0E@[@0F@?@0E@]@0A@ at any of the menus will present you with a HELP screen
               showing all the possible options.

               The HELP LEVEL command is available in ALL major menus and
               the usage is exactly the same in each of them.
