                      HELP ON PAGING, PRIVATE AND CB MODE

You are in a special paging, private conference (chat) and CB function.  While 
you are here, you may: 

1)  Send a message to someone else on the system, even if they are not
    in any conference with you.

2)  Enable or disable your "ignore" setting(s) so that you can choose not
    to receive messages from some or all other lines if you want privacy.

3)  Find out who is logged onto the system, and on what line(s).

4)  Enter private, one-on-one conference with another line.

5)  Enter any of the 40 channels available on the CB simulator.

6)  Change the name (handle) you wish to be identified by while in
    conference.


NOTE:  Any one or more of these functions may not be available to you in this 
section. 


You issue commands to use the various function available to you.  Commands are 
preceeded by a slash (/) character.  Each command has a "full name" but you 
may use just the first letter of the name if you wish.  Commands themselves 
are NOT case sensitive, meaning that upper and lower case are the same.  The 
available commands are: 



/S[END],n MESSAGE               Page (Send a Message) to Another User

Allows you to send a short message to the user on line "n".  The user on that 
line will receive your message, prefaced by your line number and user name.  
If the user on the other line is in an upload or download, then you will get a 
message saying "try again later".  You will also receive a message if the user 
on that line has enabled their ignore setting.

NOTE:  This command may be disabled at the option of the System Operator.

     Examples:

          /S,7 Hello Jerry!  Come chat in CB channel 27!

          /send,12 Greetings Kelly...




/I[GNORE][,n] ON   or
/I[GNORE][,n] OFF               Enable/Disable Ignore Setting(s)

Allows you to selectively enable or disable the ignore setting, either 
globally or on a line-by-line basis for the user on line "n".  When you enable 
ignore, any attempts to send you a message (with the /S command, described 
previously) will not be received by you, and the sending user will receive a 
message.  

     Examples of global ignore:

          /I ON

          /ignore off
     
     Examples of line-by-line ignore:

          /i,7 ON
          
          /IGNORE,3 off



/P[RIVATE],n                    Begin Private One-on-One Conferencing

Allows you to initiate private, one-on-one chat with the user on line "n".  
The user on that line must issue an equivalent command for your line.  For 
example, if you issue the command /P,5 to initiate private conference, they 
must issue the command /P,%LINE% (you are logged onto line %LINE%) in order 
for private conferencing to begin.  Once private conferencing is established, 
only you and the user on the other line will be able to see what's being typed 
- no other users can.

NOTE:  This command may be disabled at the option of the System Operator.

     Example:

          /p,19

          /Private,48



/C[HANNEL] n                    Enter CB Simulator or Change CB Channels

Allows you to enter the CB simulator on channel "n", or change from the 
current channel to channel "n".  Like a CB radio, the CB simulator has 40 
channels, numbered from 1 to 40.  To exit the CB simulator, issue a /Q command 
(as described below).

NOTE:  This command may be disabled at the option of the System Operator.

Examples:

        /CHANNEL 38

        /C 7


/W[HO][,S]                      List Who is Logged On

When used without the optional ,S parameter, shows a list of the users who
are in conference with you.  This list includes the user name, and may
include the caller's location depending on how the system has been
configured.  When used with the ,S parameter, this command shows a list of
who is logged onto the system currently (whether they are in conference or
not) and shows what activity they are performing on the system.  NOTE:  The
who command without the ,S parameter shows a system-wide caller list if
nobody else is in conference with you at the current time.


Examples:

        /W

        /who

        /W,S


/N[AME]                         Change Name (Handle) for Conferencing

Allows you to change the name you will be identified by while in
conference, if alternate names (handles) are allowed in this conference.

Examples:

        /N



/Q[UIT]                         Quits Paging, Private and/or CB Mode

If you are not currently in private conference or CB, this command exits the 
paging, private and CB mode.  If you are in private conference, this command 
exits conference and returns you to normal mode.  If you are in the CB 
simulator, this command exits CB and returns you to normal mode.
