@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@U@0E@]...Update Conf Scan/Read@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This option is used to specify which conferences are to be checked when
     mail is read or scanned using the @0E@[@0F@S@0E@]elected conferences@0A@ option.  Since
     WILDCAT! has the ability to have 100's of different conferences, you
     usually don't want to spend time searching for or reading messages in
     conferences you're not interested in.  So this option is used to select
     which conferences to scan thru.  You also have the ability to manually
     override these settings by choosing @0E@[@0F@A@0E@]ll conferences@0A@ when prompted.
     Additional help is available after selecting this command.

@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@T@0E@]...TomCat! QWK Mail Door@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This option when selected, runs a special program to create QWK
     compatible downloadable mail packets from the BBS.  These packets
     usually contain a complete list of new files, recently updated
     bulletins, all your new mail from specific conferences and so on.  This
     is used when you prefer to do your message reading and replying offline.
     This option saves you the online time when reading your mail especially
     if you are calling the system long distance.  This option requires you
     to have a special offline message reader like SLMR (Silly Little Mail
     Reader) to properly handle these special QWK packets.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@R@0E@]...........Read Messages@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This command allows you to select which messages you want to read,
     from what conferences and with any possible search conditions.  You can
     read both your personal mail and any messages entered as public.
     Reading can be done using a number of command line options and
     additional is available after selecting this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@E@0E@].....Enter a New Message@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@Selecting this option allows you to enter a message to a specific user
     on the board either locally, or in one of the Echomail or Netmail style
     conferences.  You can save this message in the current conference or in
     one of the other available conferences without having to @0E@[@0F@J@0E@]oin@0A@ that
     specific conference first.  Several type of editors are available to you
     including a full screen type editor.  Carbon copies of this message to
     other people can also be sent at the same time.  Additional help is
     available after selecting this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@S@0E@]...........Scan Messages@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@This command allows you to scan messages in specified conferences for
     user-supplied information.  Extensive matching capabilities exist with
     the wide range of searchable parameters.  After messages are found, they
     are displayed in a line by line fashion with the provision to be marked
     for easy retrieval when using the Read message function.  Extensive help
     information is available when selecting this option.

@0B@ ╒═ @0E@[@0F@K@0E@]..........Kill a Message@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@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.  Messages
     [K]illed will not be physically removed from the system until the SysOp
     "purges" them from the databases.

@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@Q@0E@]...Quit to the Main Menu@0B@ ═╕
 └───────────────────────────────┘
     @0A@Exits the Message Menu and returns to the Main Menu.

@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.
