And the subject or text of the message:
In the message, replace the FIRST occurrence of the string
“old” with the string “new”.
When a message is listed, the “tocall” and “fromcall” appear in the TO and
FROM columns, respectively. If a message has been entered with an “@BBS”
for forwarding, the complete hierarchical address is shown when the message is
read:
MSG2 02/10/92 10:30:58 FROM KBØNYK TO HELP
@wa4ewv.#stx.tx.usa.noam
The @BBS is also listed when using the semi-colon (;) option with any of the list
commands.
You can access the Edit command by connecting to the mailbox from the at-
tached terminal, or by connecting over the radio. If you connect over the radio,
you must gain SYSOP privilege by giving the SYSOP command. When you give
the SYSOP command, the PBBS will send you a password verification string
which must be properly responded to in order to gain SYSOP access. This is ex-
plained in detail later.
Let’s say you want to edit message number 2 which currently is a PRIVATE mes-
sage addressed to WØXI. The message has been read by WØXI so it shows a sta-
tus of Y. It may list as:
MSG# ST SIZE TO FROM DATE SUBJECT
2 PY 53 WØXI NØKN 01/14/92 03:36:45 Good af
ternoon
Let’s say you
want to change this so that it is addressed to NØGZZ and also change the Y flag
to N to show that it hasn’t been read. To do this, you connect to your PBBS (ei
-
ther from the KEYBOARD or as SYSOP over the radio), and issue the com
-
mand:
e 2 N >NØGZZ
You could do this with two separate commands, or it may be accomplished with
the single command shown above.
