Text File Section
The Text File Section gives you access to text files the sysop has made available for online reading — everything from BBS rules and policies to newsletters, ANSI art, and special-interest articles.
In the Classic shell, press G from the Main prompt to enter the Text File Section.
How it works
- A list of text file areas is displayed (areas are groups of related files — similar to message groups).
- Select an area by number, or
Qto return to the Main prompt. - A list of files in that area is displayed, each with a number.
- Enter a file number to read it, or
Qto return to the area list.
You can use Ctrl-S / Ctrl-Q to pause/resume and Ctrl-C to abort a long display at any time.
