MAIN Command E - Enter Messages

This command gives you the power to transform your thoughts into electronic
messages.

You will be asked to whom you want to send the message to when you select
the "E" command. Enter "A" if you want to address the message to all
users, or "S" to send the message to the Sysop. You can also address the
message to an individual or group (e.g., "John Doe" or "all wordstar
users"). If the addressee is not recognized by RBBS-PC, you will be given
a chance to re-enter the name.

You will then be asked the subject of your message. A maximum of 25
characters is permitted for a subject title. If you do not enter a
subject, RBBS-PC will assume you want to exit the "E" command.

Finally, you will be asked for the message protection. Help is available
at that point to aid in your selection.

When all information is entered, you will be in control of RBBS-PC's line
editor. You can type your message, or press [ENTER] on a blank line to
invoke various editing commands. From there you can also quit or send your
message.

TIPS:
1. Simply addressing mail to an individual does not restrict who can read
the message. To limit access to the message, you must invoke either
the (P)assword or p(R)ivate security options.

2. You must issue the S)ave command if you want your message to remain on
the system for others to read. S)ave or all will be lost.
