HELP ON COMBINED ORDERED READING
You are currently accessing message boards using the combined, ordered access
method. This allows you to read messages in several message areas at the same
time, on an area-by-area basis.
You selected help from a prompt line which has several commands. Before the
commands were listed, however, the system displayed the name of a message
board. This board the name of the message area you are currently accessing.
All commands available to you here will act on the displayed message board
name only. The number of messages in the displayed message board is shown as
well. The commands are:
<M>ark as Read
Allows you to mark all messages on the displayed message board
as read. Once you do so, messages in that message area will
no longer be considered "new" messages as of your next call
to the system.
<J>ump Over
Allows you to jump over (skip) all messages on the displayed
message board. You then have the option of coming back later
to read them. Unread messages in the area will still be
considered new messages and are unaffected in any way.
<C>ontinue
Allows you to read messages in the currently displayed message
board using the method you selected previously (such as Forward,
Reverse, New, and so forth).
<S>top
Allows you to stop access to this message read and return to
the previous menu.
