Help for Filelister
                         ===================

  General :
  ---------

  Independent of your choise (Mark, Info) in the prompt, you can enter
  one of the four possible types of file selecting :

  1. number (stays before each fileline)

  2. number range (e.g. 1-5 for selecting the files from number 1 to 5)

  3. filename (who guessed ? ;-) )

  4. pattern (OS2.x+ compatible filepattern)
     Features :  * or #?  - matches all
                 #x       - matches any amount of x (even 0 !)
                 ?        - matches one character
                 [a-d]    - matches characters a to d
                 a|d      - matches a or d
                 ~x       - matches unequal x
     Examples : ff(99[1-9]|1000).lha => ff991.lha to ff999.lha & ff1000.lha
                recent[0-9]#[0-9]    => recent00... to recent99...

  All types of selecting can be used at one time by using "," or spaces.
  e.g. : 1,xx,ff#? 5-10 "name,extension"

  In this example you can see the situation, if a file has a "," in its
  name. For this case there are quotes. Characters between quotes will
  be used as you write them.


  Cursor keys
  -----------

  While prompt is displayed, you can use your cursor keys to mark or
  unmark certain files. Simply choose cursor up or the numeric keys
  (Up,Home,End,PgUp,PgDn) to step through the screen. If there was more
  than one page shown, you can go back with SHIFT+Up or the numeric key
  9 and forward with SHIFT+Down or the numeric key 3.

  RETURN or SPACE marks and demarks a selected file.

  Marked files are shown with a star between the number and the filename.
  So you'll see imediately which files are marked and which not.


  Mark prompt
  -----------

  Trying to mark one file twice will cause a request if you'll want to
  unmark this file. Otherwise files will be listed with length and
  total length of all marks. Marked files also get stars like cursor
  marking does.


  Info prompt
  -----------

  Some files may have a long description that contains more informations.
  1. extact length in bytes
  2. uploader name
  3. long description of the file (has no 40 characters limit)

  ANSI users won't loose the displayed lines above because Filelister
  completes the screen after returning to the prompt.


  Fake prompt (Co-)Sysop function
  -----------

  Sometimes there may be uploads which are fakes, old in the bad case
  or special wanted uploads, very new upload in the good case. This
  subroutine gives you the possibility to give the user certain credits
  for his upload :
  - After activation you'll ask for the user's name. If
    the .Desc-file contains the right name you can simply press RETURN.
    Otherwise enter the name of the user.
  - Faker now tells you the correct file length in bytes
  - Then you can enter an integer-value (-32768 ... 32767) to be multi-
    plied to the file length and added to the user's upload value.
  - You get the informations of the actions (new upload value etc.)
  - Because Faker sends a mail to the user when you add/subtract uploaded
    bytes from him, you can enter a max. 50 characters reason for your
    behaviour.
  - If you entered a negative value to be multiplied to the file length,
    you can immediately delete this file


  Delete prompt (Co-)Sysop function
  -------------

  Normally self documenting, but although some infos :
  If you select more than one file (e.g. you enter "1-10" or a pattern)
  you'll get a request for deletion for each file, except you entered
  "A" for all. After "A" you can say goodbye to all selected files
  Maybe you're fast anough to break with Space or CTRL+C. :-)
  "Q" lets return you to the prompt.


  Changedesc prompt (Co-)Sysop function
  -----------------

  Simply changes the short description of a certain file. If there is
  no downloadcounter, Filelister adds the default (Filelister.Cfg).


  ATTENTION : If you use one of the (co-)sysop functions, changes will
              be done at the lowest state (Files.BBS/directories/
              .Desc-files). Filelister don't recognize these actions !
              (not yet :-) ) Be carefull when using this features in a
              multiline BBS.


  Download menu
  -------------

  Shows you marked files and displays a mark prompt. It has the same
  function as the mark prompt in the list except of setting/unsetting
  the star.



  If anything is not clear, imediately connect your sysop and kill his
  nervs ;-)
