5.4.1 A (ABORT) (Remote only)
The "A" command aborts the Listing or Reading of messages by a calling
station. This is handy if the remote user decides not to continue
reading a long message. The message "*** Done" followed by the
MailDrop prompt will be sent after an Abort has been received. On the
local terminal the SYSOP may type the CANLINE character (default
<CTRL-X>) to abort a long screen dump.
5.4.2 B (BYE)
The "B" command (Host abbreviation B1) logs the calling station (and
you) off the MailDrop. A calling station will be disconnected; you
will see the standard PK-232 "cmd:" prompt. The calling station
may also simply disconnect.
5.4.3 E (EDIT #) (SYSOP only command)
The Edit command (Host abbreviation E1) is a powerful tool for
controlling the status of messages on your MailDrop. The SYSOP must
access the MailDrop before typing this command. Here are all possible
ways to use this command:
