Provides a menu of commands with which you can change your Name, Address, Password, and terminal settings. When you log on, Fido assumes that your screen has 24 lines and 80 columns. \P P)age. Alerts the SYStem OPerator (SYSOP), who could possibly be within "earshot" of the computer on which Fido is running, that you desire attention. If the operator is available, he or she can "chat" via the local keyboard with you, and even operate Fido as if you were typing. Paging is usually restricted to certain hours; if the SYSOP isn't available, you should get a listing of the hours when he or she is available. \L L)ist-Callers. Displays the database of callers who have logged into this Fido system. The callers are displayed, by default, in the chronological order of their first log-in. However, the SYStem OPerator may choose to change the order in which callers are displayed. Instead of listing all names in the system, you can specify a partial match; for example entering "TON" at the List-Callers prompt will cause only names like "Anthony", "Anton", etc. to be displayed. - Control-C Aborts Commands/text display - Control-K Aborts Commands/text display - Control-S Pauses Commands/text display - press any key to continue. \A A)ns-Questionnaire. Displays a questionnaire if it exists; you then fill it out line by line. Each questionnaire is unique and created by the SYStem OPerator. \V V)ersion. Displays the Fido/FidoNet program version. \O O)utside. Access to this command is "System Dependent", usually based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being provided with access to this command, the caller must be instructed in the capabilities of this command and the responsibilities which are associated with this command. \E E)xit-to-DOS. Access to this command is "System Dependent", usually based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being provided with access to this command, the caller must be instructed in the capabilities of this command and the responsibilities which are associated with this command. \G G)oodbye: Log-off of Fido. Depending upon the implementation of Fido on this system, you may be prompted to optionally enter a Private message to the SYSOP before you are logged off. After log-off, you will be disconnected. It is safe to "Hang Up" on Fido; it is never harmful.
