                  QUOTETLX ... BBS QUOTING PROGRAMS FOR TELIX

    > Operating QUOTETLX <

    It  all  sounds complex... but after a couple of runs it is really very
    easy to use and a little practice will make  you  into  a  first  class
    quoter.

    1> Sign onto a BBS or EMAIL service using TELIX

    2>  When  you  see text you wish to save press the Grey Minus From this
    point on the Grey Minus key will start and stop the saving of text each
    time you press it. A little practice  will  show  you  the  appropriate
    times for starting and stopping.

    3>  When  you  wish  to  reply  to  a  message (or begin entering a new
    message) all you do is start the message up as you always do (I usually
    pause the capture file about now too). When you want to  send  a  quote
    into the message press the Grey Plus key and the quote window will come
    up.

    While in the window you have a number of options:

    Home key ... Move to beginning of file (interruptable)
    End key  ... Move to the end of the file (interruptable)
    PgUp key ... Move back 15 lines
    PgDn key ... Move forward 15 lines
    Up Arrow ... Move marker bar 1 line up
    Dn Arrow ... Move marker bar 1 line down
    Enter key... Mark or unmark line for quoting
    S key    ... Put a seperator line in quoted text
    Q key    ... Quit and send quoted lines to BBS
    Esc key  ... Abandon quoted lines and exit to TELIX

    (Again a little practice makes all this obvious.)

    Once  you  have selected the text you wish to send back pressing Q will
    exit the QUOTE window and send the marked lines to the BBS as  part  of
    the message you started.

    4>  Having  quoted  into the message, you are now returned to TELIX and
    the rest of the message entry is just like it always is, except now the
    recipient of your message will know what you are referring to.

    Hint:
    Most  BBSs have a time out of only a couple of minutes. This means that
    you really don't have a whole lot of time in the  QUOTE  window  before
    the BBS hangs up on you, I would not recommend browsing too long.
