                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[ H ] Help
~~~~~~~~~~

This displays a text file 'HOLOQWK.HLP' if present within the
same folder as HoloQWK - if the text file is not present then
this option is not shown to the user.

[ P ] Preferences
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This sub-menu allows a user to select the archiver. protocol
as well as which files to be included in the QWK packets.

Each selection 'rotates' when the corresponding key is pressed,
this is also where 'batch' packing is enabled/disabled

Enabling the automatic Taglines option will cause HoloQwk to 
append a tag line to all messages that are imported from uploaded 
.REP reply packets. These taglines are selected from an ascii 
file called HoloQwk.TAG located within the HoloQwk folder.

[ C ] Conferences
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This displays pages of areas that are available to the user, of
which there is three methods of (de)selecting active areas.

     1 - Simply enter the number of the area to (de)select
     2 - Enter more than one area, separated by commas
         i.e. 2,3,6,10,23 etc
     3 - Enter a range of areas, separated by a minus
         i.e. 123-134 etc

     ~   indicates an area is selected
     !   indicates an area is set to force

Note that if a user selects 1-199 then all areas will be toggled 
regardless of whether or not they are displayed on the current 
page.

[ O ] Online Pack
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This starts the packing process and then archives and sends the
QWK packet according to the preferences for the user.

Packing can be aborted between areas by pressing ESC

[ D ] Download Packet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Should an attempt to download a packet fail then further
attempts can be made by use of this menu option.



[ U ] Upload reply packet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Packed replies are uploaded with this option, the protocol and
archiver used is as set up by the user in the preferences menu

Uploaded reply packets are checked to ensure that they are correctly
destined for the system they have been sent to - if they were generated
for another system then they are not processed.


Messages are dearchived and processed online

Messages are formatted before being saved into thier destination area
to a line length of 72 characters, this includes any messages sent to
the monitor area.

The 'from' field of the message is capitalised using the normal QBBS
standard, no more names in CAPITOL LETTERS ONLY !

Should some fool upload a reply packet with a write protected file
within it it still gets deleted from the temporary area.

[ S ] Set Lastread
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This sub-menu allows a user to (re)set the mail pointers for
any areas available to HoloQWK.

There are six methods available :

     1 - Reset all pointers - all messages are considered unread
     2 - Reset selected conferences - all messages in selected 
         conferences are considered unread
     3 - Maximise all pointers -  all messages are considered read
     4 - Maximise selected conferences - all messages in selected 
         conferences are considered read
     5 - Set the number of unread messages (minimum of 6 per area)
     6 - Set the last date of read messages - effectively rescan an
         area

[ L ] Lock Messages 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This allows a user to set the maximum number of messages that
will be packed from each area, by knowing how many areas the
user has selected along with this value, a maximum message
count per packet can be calculated.

[ M ] Maximum packet size
