\S
S)tatistics. Displays various statistics; most of the ì
information is self-explantory. As initially set by the SYStemì
OPerator, "Credit" is the amount of credit, that you currentlyì
have.

When you enter FidoNet messages, your "Credit" is charged forì
each message you enter. Further help is available within theì
MESSAGE SECTION.

\C
C)hange. Provides a menu of commands with which you can changeì
your Name, Address, Password, and terminal settings. 

When you log on, Fido assumes that your screen has 24 lines andì
80 columns.

\P
P)age. Alerts the SYStem OPerator (SYSOP), who could possibly beì
within "earshot" of the computer on which Fido is running, thatì
you desire attention. If the operator is available, he or she canì
"chat" via the local keyboard with you, and even operate Fido asì
if you were typing. 

Paging is usually restricted to certain hours; if the SYSOP ì
isn't available, you should get a listing of the hours when he orì
she is available. 

\L
L)ist-Callers. Displays the database of callers who have logged ì
into this Fido system. The callers are displayed, by default, inì
the chronological order of their first log-in.

However, the SYStem OPerator may choose to change the order inì
which callers are displayed.

Instead of listing all names in the system, you can specify a ì
partial match; for example entering "TON" at the List-Callers ì
prompt will cause only names like "Anthony", "Anton", etc. to beì
displayed.

\A

then fill it out line by line. Each questionnaire is unique andì
created by the SYStem OPerator.

\V
V)ersion. Displays the Fido/FidoNet program version.

\O
O)utside. Access to this command is "System Dependent", usuallyì
based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being providedì
with access to this command, the caller must be instructed in theì
capabilities of this command and the responsibilities which areì
associated with this command.

\E
E)xit-to-DOS. Access to this command is "System Dependent", ì
usually based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to beingì
provided with access to this command, the caller must beì
instructed in the capabilities of this command and the ì
responsibilities which are associated with this command.

\G
G)oodbye: Log-off of Fido. Depending upon the implementation ofì
Fido on this system, you may be prompted to optionally enter aì
Private message to the SYSOP before you are logged off. Afterì
log-off, you will be disconnected.

It is safe to "Hang Up" on Fido; it is never harmful.
