\begindata{text,539022428} \textdsversion{12} \template{help} \define{global } \chapter{Quick Reference to Cui Commands (Keyword: cui-quickref) } You can always type "help" (or "?") within \helptopic{CUI} itself for a list of the functions currently available. That list of functions will depend upon your expertise level and recent changes to CUI, and may be more up to date than this document. \section{CUI READ> prompt commands} The CUI READ> prompt appears after you use the "update" or "browse" commands to list new messages. To get the default action, listed in brackets [ ], on the most recent message, press Enter. To execute an action on a different message, type the command name followed by the number of the message, and press Enter. The following options are available at this prompt: \description{help or ?--to see a list of your options, quit--to stop viewing updates, allreply--to reply to all readers of a message including the sender, delete--to delete the current message, forward--to forward the current message to someone else, mail--to send a message to a user or a bboard, next--to go on to the next message, print--to print the message on a printer, proceed--to move to the next message directory (usually the next bboard), reply--to reply to the current message, classify--to copy the current message into another message directory, append--to copy the current message to the end of a message directory, skip --to skip ahead n number of messages (1 goes to next message, no argument is the same as 1, -99 goes to first message, +99 goes to last message), store--store the current message into a file. Store overwrites rather than appending to the named file. type--to type the body of the message on the screen, widereply--to reply to the readers of a message, not including the sender, set--to change the value of "printer," "rot13print," "fixprint," "debug," "level," "prompt," "headers," "scriptmode," "terminal," "validate," "blind," "risky," "seenlast," "whatmeworry," or "editor"; and view--to look at the current message in an editing window so that you can scroll it. You cannot change the message, only view it.} Each of these may be unambiguously abbreviated. \section{CUI SEND> prompt commands} The CUI SEND> prompt appears after you have written a reply to a message and pressed Ctrl-d (Ctrl-z on a PC). The following options are available: \description{help or ?-- to see a list of your options, draft -- Save a draft message in a folder. quit--to cancel the in-progress message. The draft you have typed so far will be lost. edit--to edit your in-progress message using a text editor, type--to type the body of the message on the screen, submit--to submit your message for delivery, and set--to change the value of "debug," "level," "prompt," "headers," "scriptmode," "terminal," "validate," "blind," "risky," "seenlast," "whatmeworry," or "editor."} \section{CUI> prompt commands (the full CUI command set)} \description{'?
