The Abort command can be used to abort the output from many of the BBS commands, like Download, List and Read for
example.
The Bye command disconnects you from the BBS. Use it when you are done!
The Conference command should not be used on the BBS if it is on a LAN frequency with high usage. The conference
mode of a BBS can present a grid-lock situation if the BBS is being accessed by other users at the same time the conference
is in use.
The Download command is used to read a file stored on the system. The format of the command is "D filename" where
[filename] is the name of the file to down load.
To see what files are available for downloading, use the W command. To download a file in a subdirectory, use D
FILENAME.
I by itself gives hardware configuration of the system.
ID gives a list of the ports and digipeaters/gateways available.
The J command lists stations recently heard on the various ports and stations that recently connected. Use the P command
for path to stations that have connected recently.
The K command is used to kill (delete) old messages from the system. You can kill only those messages that are to or from
your station. The format of the command is K, space, and then the number of the message to delete. You can also use the
command KM to delete all messages TO you that have been read.
Use the command KT[msg#] to kill NTS traffic you are going to deliver.
The List command lists selected message headers. The following formats are available:
•
L - List messages since you last used the B command
•
LB - List bulletins (all of them, use with care!)
•
LM - List messages to or from you (List Mine)
•
LN - List messages with type of N (List New)
LL # - List the last # messages
