      -=> Quoting Mark Hofmann to Nancy Backus on 21 Apr 14 13:00:39 <=-               NB>> Ah. So, in order to use those commands effectively, one has to be in        NB>> Expert Mode... I generally stay out of that mode, even when fairly        NB>> familiar with a board, since things change so much from board to board.        NB>> But, I did give it a try, and sure enough, I was finally able to see        NB>> what all the slash commands were, and also to see who'd been on that        NB>> day... Thanks for figuring it out for me. :)               MH> All "expert mode" does, is force the menu to display after each        MH> command you type.               Or more accurately, "inexpert" mode... when one is in "expert mode" one       is expected to remember the magic spells that the menu delineates... :)               MH> You can manually do that by hitting "?" at any menu prompt.               True. :)              ttyl neb              ... We can teach it to you, but we can't understand it for you.       --- Blue Wave/DOS v2.20        * Origin: The Holodeck BBS telnet://holo.homeip.net:2323 (1:261/1381)    |
