Issue 2

ALL DIAL-UP users now have access to the Bulletin Board and Mail facilities on the SCIS Database.

They differ in their use in that Bulletin Board gives a User the opportunity to leave a message on the System for ALL users to read i.e. Something to sell or In need of some information.

Mail allows a user to send a Message just to another individual user on the system. The message is not for public broadcast.

Curriculum Corporation can also leave messages for ALL users on both Bulletin Boru:d and Mail.

Using Bulletin Board:

From the Main Menu select Option 4. (This gives access to the summary of existing Bulletin Board Messages.)

Select "a" and enter to add a message (this gives a clear screen)

Type in your Message. (Remember to use the TAB key to move to next line not the Enter Key)

At the bottom of the screen you have two options ? Quit ? Send

TAB down and across to? Send and replace the ? with any key [Enter]

This places your message onto the Bulletin Board.

To remove the message:

Access the Bulletin Board from the Main Menu.

The message is now removed.

Using Mail:
