-The default module is ''automsg''.+===== The Auto Message prompt =====
  
-===== How it works =====+A live capture from [[bbs:vertrauen]]:
  
-  1. The current auto-message is displayed. +  Auto Message Read, Write, or Quit:
-  2. You're asked whether you want to replace it. +
-  3. If yes, type your new one-line message and press ''<CR>''.+
  
-Only one message is stored at a time. The moment you post a new one the previous message is gone for everyone.+===== Commands ===== 
 + 
 +  * **''R''** — Read the current auto-message 
 +  * **''W''** — Write a new auto-message (see below) 
 +  * **''Q''** — Quit back to the Main prompt 
 + 
 +Sysops also see a **''D''** — Delete option to remove the auto-message entirely. 
 + 
 +===== Writing a new auto-message ===== 
 + 
 +Selecting ''W'' gives you up to **3 lines** of text to compose, each up to 76 characters (or shorter if the sysop has a meme/border feature enabled). After typing your lines, you're asked to confirm before the message is posted. 
 + 
 +The posted message records your username and the timestamp. Once confirmed, the previous auto-message is replaced for all users immediately. 
 + 
 +Only one auto-message exists at a time — there is no history visible to users.
