    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>> It is, however, scrolling up, I can see... Like it needs a line to ask

   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.  :)
