In addition, if you even suspect that someone knows your password, change it immediately. Your password will not be echoed to the screen when you type it, and unless you tell someone, no one can find out what your password is. SHAR_EOF fi echo shar: "extracting 'entermsg'" '(192 characters)' if test -f 'entermsg' then echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'entermsg'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'entermsg' All messages are formatted to the reader's screen width. To defeat the formatting, for graphics or whatever, indent at least one space before each line. End a message by hitting return twice.

Help. (Typing a '?' will give you a menu almost anywhere) C Chat program D Prints directory, if there is one in the current room. E Enter a message. F Read all messages in the room, forward. G Goto next room which has UNREAD messages. H Help. Same as '?' K List of Known rooms. L Reads the last five messages in the room. N Reads all new messages in the room. O Reads all old messages, backwards. R Reads all messages in the room, in reverse order. S Skips current room without making its messages old. T Terminate (logout) U Ungoto (returns to the last room you were in) W Displays who is currently logged in. Z Zap (forget) room. (Removes the room from your list) * Enter the subsystem. In addition, there are dot commands. You hit the . (dot), then press the first letter of each word of the command. As you hit the letters, the words pop onto your screen. Exceptions: after you hit .Help or .Goto, the remainder of the command is a help file name or room name. For more help on dot commands, type .Help SUMMARY SHAR_EOF fi echo shar: "extracting 'newuser'" '(61 characters)' if test -f 'newuser' then echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'newuser'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'newuser' (This new user policy resides in messages/newuser) SHAR_EOF fi echo shar: "extracting 'readopt'" '(151 characters)' if test -f 'readopt' then echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'readopt'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'readopt' One of: irectory ile unformatted ast five messages ew messages ld messages everse extfile serlist file using modem SHAR_EOF fi echo shar: "extracting 'register'" '(226 characters)' if test -f 'register' then echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'register'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'register' You must enter correct information here. If you make a mistake, you can re-enter your registration again with the .EG command. If you don't leave correct information, you will not receive full access to the system. SHAR_EOF fi echo shar: "extracting 'roomaccess'" '(664 characters)' if test -f 'roomaccess' then echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'roomaccess'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'roomaccess' Most rooms are public. Anyone on the system may get into a public room. Private rooms may take several forms: Guess-name: to gain access to this type of room, a user need only know the room's name. No hints are given by the system. Passworded: same as guess-name but the user must also know a password to get access. Invitation-only: users may only gain access to this type of room if an aide gives it to them. Once a user has access to a private room, it shows up on the known rooms list and acts the same as any other room. Aides may kick users out of any type of private room. Before making it private, think about it. Does it really NEED to be private? SHAR_EOF fi echo shar: "extracting 'unlisted'" '(189 characters)' if test -f 'unlisted' then echo shar: "will not over-write existing file 'unlisted'" else cat << \SHAR_EOF > 'unlisted' The user list is provided as a service to the users of this system. Please don't choose to be unlisted unless you really find it it necessary. By the way, aides still see unlisted entries.
