Here is some general information about the operation of the Soft-Span BBS
software.  The heart of the system lies at the main menu which is where
you enter commands to do various tasks.  On most BBS systems you enter
a single key as a command.  With Soft-Span, you generally enter a full
word as a command.  It should be easier to remember these names than
the traditional command system.  Also, most commands have alternate names
which you can use instead.  The command name which appears in the Main Menu
is called a PRIMARY COMMAND.  Any alternate command name is called an ALIAS.
You can get a complete list of all aliases via the ALIAS command.

When enterring data such as at the Main prompt, input is terminated by the
RETURN key.  You use the BACKSPACE key to back over mistakes.  Also, 
CTRL-X (Control-X) can be used to delete to the beginning of the line.

At certain prompts, you need only enter a one-character selection. Here,
you must choose one of the indicated responses.  However, the case of
your selection is not important.

The last general type of prompt is the Yes/No prompt which will look something
like this:
            Continue? (Y/N)
Here, you choose Y for Yes or N for No. Again, case is not important.

In certain parts of the BBS, such as viewing messages or obtaining a file
listing, you can pause the output by pressing CTRL-S.  Once paused, any
key continues output.  If you hit something other than CTRL-S, output is
aborted.  In addition, the key you hit will be used by the next input routine.
Finally, if you selected to have the [MORE] prompt, output will be halted at the
end of every screen of text.  You will see "[MORE]" displayed on the last line.
At that point, pressing any key will cause output to continue.
