If you have found this document through Gopher, you can log into Mutiny Community BBS at mutinybbs.com port 2300.
If you are unfamiliar with how to TELNET into the BBS go to the web site mutinybbs.com to get started.

This is a special area of Mutiny Community's text file browser.  This breaks away from the Jason Scott archive in all of the other 
directories and provides a place where users such as yourself can publish your own text files!

How to use:
a) First create your subdirectory with the command "md Username" where "username" is your username.  

b) After giving it a description "like Jimbob's files" then change to that directory with "cd Username", again, replace "username" with 
your actual username.

c) Once in your directory, use "edit" or "nano" to create a new text document or to edit an existing one.  Uploading of text files is not 
yet supported however most terminal programs allow for some way to stream the contents of a text file to the terminal thus you could use 
this to upload your file by entering the editor, streaming the content through an ASCII upload, and then saving.

You can also create subdirectories under your directory with the "md" or "mkdir" command.

d) If you want to create basic programs give the file name a .BAS extension such as "edit mygame.bas".  This will bring you into Mutant 
Basic where you can write and run your Basic program.  

e) For text editing (any file extension other than .BAS), at this time the only editor available is a line editor similar to that used to 
send email or to make posts on 2332 (that is Mutiny BBS on port 2332, not Community on port 2300).  I may add a screen editor in the 
future.

In the future if you want to pop into your directory more quickly, rather than using the chat-room command "/files" (or /text), you can use "/myfiles".
This will bring you directly to your /CommunityUsers/Username directory.

Contributors / Collaborative writing:
You can also allow other users to add to and edit some of your text files by using the 'contrib' and 'uncontrib' commands.  Please see the 
help on those commands by using the 'help' command.

Gopher Access:
If you want to share files through the BBS's Gopher Server here is how you do it.

First, follow the instructions above to create your user directory and change to it.  Then, inside your directory create a subdirectory
called "pub" (short for public).  Any *published* files under "pub" will be visible to the outside world through Gopher.  You can also
create subdirectories under "pub" and those will be visible as well.

Summary, or "Creating your gopherhole for dummies":
1) Log into the BBS: mutinybbs.com port 2300
2) Get to text files area:
2a) From main menu: (T) Text Files
2b) From chat: /files
3) "CD users"
4) "MD jimbob" (replace "jimbob" with your username)
5) "CD jimbob"
6) "MD pub"
7) "CD pub"
8) "EDIT myfile.txt" (replace "myfile" with your desired filename)
9) when you (/s) save, give it a description to publish it (make it visible to others)

Outside of the editor, back in the textfiles area, you can use commands "publish" and "unpublish" to toggle visibility of your file.
