Descriptions of the SysOp's special menu commands.

 (UTIL) Host Utilities - This option allows the use of four SysOp utilities.

    These utilities are:

    (S)hell to DOS - This allows the SysOp to shell to dos from remote.  This
    option may be used when in local mode, but the F2 key is probably a better
    choice in this case.  The shell to dos may be executed without using the
    "UTIL" option by just entering "S" from the main menu.

    (R)ead Host Caller's Log - Allows the remote view of the host caller's log,
    which is a text record of everything that takes place on the host.

    (D)OS Command Line - Allows the execution of dos commands without having
    to drop to DOS.

    (EDIT) Guest List - The guest list is the file that contains the list
    of users of the host.  This command allows the SysOp to directly modify
    the security levels of callers, even from remote.

    The sub-options for this command are:

      (1)View Guest List - Allows the SysOp to view the current list of
      callers along with their current status (security), and their password.

      (2)Add a new guest to list - This option allows the SysOp to add a new
      caller's name and password to the guest list.

      (3)Edit User Record - This option will allow the SysOp to change
      any field in a users record.

      (4)Edit Sysop Record - This option will allow the Sysop to change
      any field in his own user record.

      (5)Edit the NEWUSER defaults - This option allows the SysOp to
      change any field in the NEWUSER.DAT file which contains the
      default values for new callers.

    (T)urn off Host - Shuts down the host from remote.  When this option is
    chosen, the SysOp will be prompted to decide which environment the host
    should quit to (Telix or DOS).  By quitting to DOS, the SysOp may return
    to a batch file that was run earlier.


    The following commands are available from both the SysOp and Guest menus.

     (D)ownload - Sends a file from Executive Host to you.

     (U)pload - Sets Executive Host up to receive a file from you.

     (F)ile Directories - Displays a list of all files available for download,
     with file sizes, dates, and transfer times.   If the SysOp is using text
     directories, this option will display file descriptions as well.

     (V)iew - The (Z) sub-option will view any Zip file in the download
     directories of Executive Host.  A guest may also view text files
     that are compressed inside of the zip file.
     The (T) sub-option will allow a guest to view any text file that the SysOp
     has made available.  A directory of text files available for view can
     be found with the (F) option from the main menu, and then the (T)
     sub-option.

     (T)ext Search - This option allows the caller to do a text search of the
     file directories made available by the SysOp.  Searchs for specific text,
     file names, portions of file names, or even dates (in the correct format)
     are allowed.  Wildcards (* or ?) will be searched for literally and
     should not be used.

     (J)oin Conference - This option allows callers to join (or enter)
     a conference area.  Conference areas may have their own level of
     security (minimum access level), file areas, and message base,
     depending on how the SysOp chooses to set them up.

     (Q)uit Conference - This option returns the caller to the Main
     conference area (the area all callers are in when they first log on).
     This command is used by callers when they are wish to return to the
     Main conference after using the (J)oin command.

     (X)pert Mode - This will make Executive Host stop displaying the main,
     protocol, and message menus.

     (M)essage Menu - This option displays the five message options
     available for all callers. They are as follows:
       (E)nter a message
       (R)ead messages
       (N)ote to SysOp
       (J)oin Conference
       (Q)uit Conference
     All of the menu choices on the message menu may also be executed from
     the main menu, even though some are not listed.

     (B)ulletins - Displays a menu of bulletins callers may view.

     (O)pen Door - Displays a menu of doors that may be entered.

     (I)nfo on BBS - This will display information about Executive Host or
     whatever the SysOp wants to be displayed here.

     (C)olor on/off - This will turn the ansi menu colors on or off.

     (N)ote to SysOp - Allows you to leave a note to the SysOp.  The message
     may be marked public or private.

     (P)age - This will page the SysOp for 20 seconds.

     (H)elp - This option will display this help file.

     (G)oodbye - This will log you off, and set Executive Host up for another
     caller.
