These are all possible points in the menu. Normally you only see the points
which you can execute because of your user level or which make sense for the
current action.

In the following you find an exact description of the several commands:

AD = Actual Directory               This function shows the name of the actual
                                    directory.

CA = Change Area                    In the several areas there are files with
                                    the same topic. Entering CA you get a
                                    listing of all the areas with number and
                                    short summary. Moreover the security_level
                                    which is at least required for Read or
                                    Write Message is shown. The two values can
                                    be different. To get into the respective
                                    area one of them will do. After that you
                                    get a prompt for the number of the area
                                    wanted.

                                    of the directory. So it is necessary to
                                    make a list first. Now you are prompted
                                    to enter the name of the respective sub-

                                    you can change with this command to the
                                    root directory.

                                    BBS host to call the sysop. If the sysop is
                                    ready you find yourself in the chat mode.
                                    If the sysop is not available you get a
                                    message. Now you can leave a private mail
