        EList v4 is a database program that maintains a database of   
        echomail conference information.  This particular program was   
        written to meet the need to maintain and distribute echomail   
        conference lists within FIDONet.   
      
        The FIDONet echolists published by this program include   
        ELIST.NA, a short, areafix uplink file format distributed   
        monthly and ELIST.RPT, a longer descriptive file distributed on   
        a monthly basis.   
      
        Moderators may add or update entries to the list by writing to   
        ECHOLIST (or ELIST).  The program will read the message and   
        update the EList database, then post a reply to the ELIST   
        conference and optionally via Email (Note: the Reply-to keyword   
        overrides the FROM Email if present).   
      
        Address netmail messages   
      
        To:   ECHOLIST, (1:1/21)   
        Subj: MOD UPD   
      
        Updates via Email are also available via echolist@filegate.net   
      
        and use the following keywords to set the fields of your echolist   
        submission.

        A sample message might have this in the text   
      
        TAG ECHOES   
        TITLE FIDONet echoes discussion   
        MOD Joe Sysop, 1:393/68   
        DESC Discussions about echoes   
        DESC and moderators   
        GROUP FIDO   
        ---   
      
        The keywords are truncated prior to checking, so matching will   
        only be done for the capitalized portion of the keyword.   
        Keywords may be capitalized or lowercase.  The following three   
        entries will have the same effect.   
      
        TAG   BOARD_GAMES   
        Tagname BOARD_GAMES   
        tag   BOARD_GAMES   
      
        Optionally end the message with three-dashes indicating the end of   
        the message.  With the exception of the DESCription and RULEs fields,   
        only one entry is allowed per field.  If multiple entries are included   
        in the message, processing will continue but only the last one   
        will be saved.  If you don't have an entry for a field, there is   
        no need to include the keyword (specifying JUST the keyword will   
        erase/blank any existing value(s).  Only the areatag and password   
        is necessary for updating.   
      
        Update submissions to the echolist that don't require any changes   
        may be done by including just the areatag, and PASSword.   
        Full details already in the database will remain the same.  New   
        listings will require areatag, title, moderator and password.   
      
        In order to delete an area from the list, you should use   
        the subject MODerator DELete (or MOD DEL).   
      
        When submitting an entry with DESC or RULES fields, be sure to begin   
        each line with DESC or RULES and end it with a hard carriage return.   
      
        (Some editors may word wrap all messages and strip carriage returns   
        when saving.  Some of these editors, however, may allow you to   
        force carriage returns by indenting.)   
      
        NOTE: blank lines after DESC or RULES keywords will RESET everything   
        to null, as with all text based keywords.   
      
      
           Address any questions to Ben Ritchey at 1:1/21, 1:393/68, the   
           ECHOLIST echo itself or via Email to .   
      
                           -=:{ End of EListHlp.Txt }:=-   
      
      
   NOTE: Mod Rul submissions are still in development, but note the RULETEXT    
   keyword above. You can insert your Mod Rul text file (just the body of text)    
   right AFTER the RULETEXT keyword at the end of a Mod Upd submission (naturally    
   for the same Tag name). Holler if ya need ... :)
