SYSOP.HLP Copyright Tom Jennings 2 April 90
\?
   SYSOP is the Fido/FidoNet utility used to manipulate the¨
caller list, CALLER.SYS. It is fairly simple to use; for help¨
with a specific command, hit ? again, then the command key you¨
want help with. 
\l
        Searches the caller list for a specific name or part of a¨
name. Entering "AN" will find: Brand, Stan, Anthony, etc. It is¨
not case sensitive. The search starts the the NEXT record, and¨
ends when a match is found. If during the search the end of the¨
file is reached, it then proceeds from the beginning of the file¨
until it reaches the original .... starting point or finds a¨
match. Typing ESCape will stop the search.
\-
        Goes backwards one record.
\<
        Goes backwards one record.
\+
        Goes forward one record.
\>
        Goes forward one record.
\b
        Goes to the first record in the caller file.
\e
        Goes to the the last record in the caller file.
\i
        Input a new name. This merely creates a new, blank caller¨
record at the end of the file. You need to fill in the user name,¨
password, city and any other desired features and options. Note¨
that Sysop will let you leave important parts such as the name¨
blank; Fido will not allow you to log in with these however.
\a
        Enter a caller address. 
\w
        Enter a new password. It must be one word up to 15¨
characters. Upper or lower case does not matter.

\p
	Set the callers privilege level; 0 is the lowest (see¨
specific cautions on Privilege level 0 in Fido's manual) and 4 is¨
the highest. 7 is for Sysop level privileges. See the manual also¨
for side effects of the various privilege levels.
\g
        Exits to DOS.
\o
        "Stamps" caller records by age; this is used to purge¨
callers who have not called into the system in a long time. This¨
prompts for the age of callers to stamp, in days. Each caller¨
record in the file is then checked; if it is this age or older it¨
is marked (STAMPED); records under this are have any stamp¨
removed. (Use A)ge-Stamp "1000 days" to effectively remove all¨
stamps from all records.)
        The ! Purge-Stamped command can be used to permanently¨
remove all (STAMPED) records from the file. Also get HELP! on the¨
S)tamp, ! Purge-Stamped and U)n-Stamp commands.
\s
        Mark the current caller record as (STAMPED). The ! Purge¨
Stamped command can be used to permanently remove all (STAMPED)¨
records from the file. The U)n-Stamp command removes the stamp.¨
Also get HELP! on the S)tamp, U)n-Stamp and ! Purge-Stamped¨
commands.
\u
        Remove any stamp from the current record. Also get HELP!¨
with the A)ge-Stamp, S)tamp and ! Purge-Stamped commands.
\$
	Add money to the callers credit field. The number you¨
enter is ADDED to any amount already there. To clear credit¨
first, (such as to set a specific value), enter NONE. The callers¨
debit will be subtracted from the credit before adding any¨
additional amount.
\m
        Set the default Message Area the caller is in when they¨
log in. This is generally only used when each caller is locked¨
into a specific Message Area, ie. they cannot access the A)rea­
Change command from within Fido. Please refer to the manual for¨
details.
\f
        Set the default File Area the caller is in when they log¨
in. This is generally only used when each caller is locked into a¨
specific File Area, ie. they cannot access the A)rea-Change¨
command from within Fido. Please refer to the manual for details.
\!
        Permanantly purges all (STAMPED) callers from the¨
CALLER.SYS file. Please refer to HELP! on the A)ge-Stamp and¨
S)tamp commands before using. Purged records are placed in the¨
file CALLER.OLD. A backup copy of the original caller file is¨
made in CALLER.BAK. 
\k
        Add or remove keys from the callers record. To add keys,¨
just enter the key number or numbers, 1 to 32. 

        1           add key #1
        2 3 27      add keys 2, 3, 27
        -16         remove key 16
        -2 -7       remove keys 2 and 7
        NONE        remove all keys
\r
        Resets the callers accumulative limits: accumulated¨
download and accumulated connect time.
\c
        This does a very stringent integrity check on the¨
displayed caller record. It is intended for recovering damaged¨
caller records. It will force name, password and city to be¨
printable USASCII (note: may remove extended and international¨
characters), checks and repairs msg and file area numbers, last­
msg-read counters and other internal data. Please be sure to¨
manually enter any missing or incorrect fields.
\#
        Position to a specific record number.
