 *** Long explaination of available commands in IB-BBS SUPER-Chat:

                        HELP ON CONFERENCE (CHAT) MODE

You are in conferencing (chat) mode.  While you are here, you may do any of 
the following:

 -  Chat with other users who are currently in conference with you.
 -  Send a message to someone else on the system, even if they are not
    in any conference with you.
 -  Enable or disable your "ignore" setting(s) so that you can choose not
    to receive messages from some or all other lines if you want privacy.
 -  Find out who is logged onto the system, and on what line(s).
 -  Enter private, one-on-one conference with another line.
 -  Enter any of the 99 channels available on the CB simulator.
 -  Change the name (handle) you wish to be identified by while in
    conference.


    TO CHAT:
To chat with other users in conference with you, simply type what you want to 
say (maximum of 150 characters) and press your Enter or Return key.  Your 
message will be sent to all other users in this conference / channel.

    TO PERFORM A SPECIAL COMMAND...
There are also a number of special commands available.  Commands are preceeded 
by a slash (/) character.  Each command has a "full name" but you may use just 
the first letters of the name if you wish.  Commands themselves are NOT case 
sensitive, meaning that upper and lower case are the same.  

PLEASE NOTE:  ANYTHING YOU TYPE WHICH IS NOT PREFACED WITH A FORWARD SLASH 
CHARACTER (/) WILL BE DISPLAYED TO ALL OTHER USERS IN CONFERENCE WITH YOU!
For this reason, TYPE CAREFULLY!

The available special commands are: 

/S[END],n MESSAGE               Page (Send a Message) to Another User

Allows you to send a short message to the user on line "n".  The user on that 
line will receive your message, prefaced by your line number and user name.  
If the user on the other line is in an upload or download, then you will get a 
message saying "try again later".  You will also receive a message if the user 
on that line has enabled their ignore setting.

     Examples:
          /S,7 Hello Jerry!  Come chat in CB channel 27!
          /send,12 Greetings Kelly...
          /s,john Hey! I got the hot stuff!
 

/I[GNORE][,n] ON
/I[GNORE][,n] OFF               Enable/Disable Ignore Setting(s)

Allows you to selectively enable or disable the ignore setting, either 
globally or on a line-by-line basis for the user on line "n". When you enable 
ignore, any text entered by the ignored user(s) will not be displayed on your
screen, and any attempts to send you a message (with the /S command, described 
previously) will not be received by you, and the sending user will receive a 
message that you are not available. This remains active also outside the chat
environment, till you reset this setting or logoff the system.

     Examples of global ignore:
          /i
          /I ON
          /ignore off
     
     Examples of line-by-line ignore:
          /I,7 ON
          /i,john
          /IGNORE,3 off

/P[RIVATE],n                    Begin Private One-on-One Conferencing

Allows you to initiate private, one-on-one chat with the user on line "n".  
The user on that line must issue an equivalent command for your line.  For 
example, if you issue the command /P,5 to initiate private conference, they 
must issue the command /P,%LINE% (you are logged onto line %LINE% actually)
in order for private conferencing to begin.  Once private conferencing is
established, only you and the user on the other line will be able to see
what's being typed - no other users can.

     Example:
          /p,19
          /Private,48
          /P,john

/C[HANNEL] n                    Enter CB Simulator or Change CB Channels

Allows you to enter the CB simulator on channel "n", or change from the 
current channel to channel "n". Like a CB radio, the CB simulator has 99
channels, numbered from 1 to 99. To exit the CB simulator, issue a /Q command.

Examples:
        /CHANNEL 38
        /c,7

/W[HO][,S[YSTEM]]               List Who is Logged On

When used without the optional ,S parameter, shows a list of the users who
are in conference with you.  This list includes the user name, and the
caller's location. When used with the ,S parameter, this command shows a list
of who is logged onto the system currently (whether they are in conference or
not) and shows what activity they are performing on the system.  NOTE:  The
who command without the ,S parameter shows the system-wide caller list if
nobody else is in conference with you at the current time.

Examples:
        /W
        /who
        /W,S
        /w,

/N[AME]                         Change Name (Handle) for Conferencing

Allows you to change the name you will be identified by while in
conference.

Examples:
        /N
        /N,RACER

/Q[UIT]                         Quits Conference, Private and/or CB Mode

If you are not currently in private conference or CB, this command exits the 
conference mode.  If you are in private conference, this command exits 
private conference and returns you to public conference.  If you are in the CB 
simulator, this command exits CB and returns you to public conference.

Examples:
        /QUIT
        /q
