   Fnordadel Skip Command Tutorial
 
   If someone has entered a message in a room since you were last in that
room, the system will consider it to be new to you.  You can use [G]oto to go
to the room automagically, or .G(oto) ROOMNAME to go to it manually.  See
.H(elp) GOTO.
 
   Having done this goto operation, if for some reason you decide that you
want the system to think that you HAVEN'T been in that room, the [S]kip
command is available to accomplish this.  It is identical in usage to the
[G]oto command usage -- just hit "S" and you'll be taken to the next room with
new messages.  However, as you leave the current room, the system will mark it
as "skipped", and not update any new messages in it with "old" status.  If you
keep using [G]oto or [S]kip long enough, you'll eventually be brought back to
the current room again, and its new messages will still be new.
 
   To skip the current room and go directly to a specific room, use the
extended command ".S(kip) ROOMNAME", where "ROOMNAME" can be a partial room
name.  The system will look for a matching room and take you there.
 
   If you are in floor mode, you can skip an entire floor of rooms using the
;S(kip) command.  This command skips all the rooms on the current floor and
takes you to the first room with new messages on a later floor.
 
   If you get to the point where there are no more rooms with unread messages
besides the one(s) that you've skipped, the system will print out the list of
rooms that you've skipped.  Terminating with rooms on the skipped list simply
leaves them with unread messages for the next time you call.
