Kantronics KPC–3 Plus User Manual page 77

Using anyone else's Kantronics-based PBBS would result in a similar prompt sequence.
At this point you are ready to send a message to another user, read a message to
yourself (if any has been received), or issue any other mailbox command.
Let's assume you want to send a message to KBØNYK. You would now use the Send
Private command:
SP KBØNYK
and the TNC responds with:
SUBJECT:
Now enter a short subject line:
Just a quick question
The TNC responds with:
ENTER MESSAGE n—END WITH CTRL-Z OR /EX ON A SINGLE LINE
(where ―n‖ is the next available message number in the mailbox).
Now you enter the text of your message (message n). To end the message and have it
saved, type a <Ctrl+Z> (hold down the control key and press Z) or type /EX. The
<Ctrl+Z> or /EX must be on a line by itself —do not type anything else on this line.
When the message has been ended properly, the PBBS responds with:
MESSAGE SAVED
ENTER COMMAND: B,J,K,L,R,S, or Help >
You may now enter more mailbox commands.
The ―Mail‖ indicator on the front panel of your TNC blinks to alert you to unread mail
addressed to you (i.e., to the callsigns of MYCALL or MYPBBS). See the TNC
command PBLIST for how you can add other callsigns to the list of callsigns that are to
be included as ―mine.‖ The PBLIST is also used with the PBPERSON command and the
following PBBS commands: LMINE, KMINE, and RMINE. Note that the mail-status
indicator on the front panel of the TNC is turned ON (without blinking) when someone is
connected to your PBBS.
PBBS Commands
The commands available to users connecting to your Kantronics TNC PBBS (and you
connecting directly) are as follows:
B(ye)
This command is entered by the PBBS user to disconnect from the PBBS.
