      -=> Quoting Mark Hofmann to Nancy Backus on 17 Apr 14 19:10:44 <=-               NB>> Quite. It also happens when I try "L" for the list of who's been on. I        NB>> can see that it's probably just short of a screen, but not a chance of        NB>> actually reading anything as it flashes by and the menu comes up again.        NB>> It is, however, scrolling up, I can see... Like it needs a line to ask        NB>> whether to continue or not...               MH> Ok, I know what it is..        MH> I just did a "Change User" to simulate being you on my system and        MH> understand what you are talking about now.         MH> If you see that again, just hit "X" from the main menu. That turns on        MH> "Expert Mode", which will keep the menus from automatically displaying        MH> after each command.               Ah. So, in order to use those commands effectively, one has to be in       Expert Mode... I generally stay out of that mode, even when fairly       familiar with a board, since things change so much from board to board.        But, I did give it a try, and sure enough, I was finally able to see       what all the slash commands were, and also to see who'd been on that       day... Thanks for figuring it out for me. :)              ttyl neb              ...
