====== BBOARD ======

**BBOARD** is a shared mailbox that's used as a community bulletin board for twenex.org users. It is completely separate from the SDF cluster BBOARD bulletin board system.

===== Checking for new posts =====

''@BBOARD'' prints BBOARD posts you have not already read. Put the command in your LOGIN.CMD file to check for new posts every time you log-in (it's included in the default LOGIN.CMD).

===== Reviewing old posts =====

''@BBOARD /LAST'' reprints the latest post. See ''@BBOARD /HELP'' for other options.

You can also access BBOARD from inside the mail program ''@MM'' to read, list, and search posts in the same way as e-mail messages. Type ''BBOARD MAIL'' (or just ''BBOARD'') at the MM command prompt. 

===== Posting to BBOARD =====

''@MAIL BBOARD'' starts a new post with the standard mailer program. Enter the post's subject and continue composing as you would a normal e-mail message. Submit with ''Ctrl-Z''.
