\S
S)tatistics. Displays various statistics; most of the 
information is self-explantory. As initially set by the SYStem
OPerator, "Credit" is the amount of credit, that you currently
have.

When you enter FidoNet messages, your "Credit" is charged for
each message you enter. Further help is available within the
MESSAGE SECTION.

\C
C)hange. Provides a menu of commands with which you can change
your Name, Address, Password, and terminal settings. 

When you log on, Fido assumes that your screen has 24 lines and
80 columns.

\P
P)age. Alerts the SYStem OPerator (SYSOP), who could possibly be
within "earshot" of the computer on which Fido is running, that
you desire attention. If the operator is available, he or she can
"chat" via the local keyboard with you, and even operate Fido as
if you were typing. 

Paging is usually restricted to certain hours; if the SYSOP 
isn't available, you should get a listing of the hours when he or
she is available. 

\L
L)ist-Callers. Displays the database of callers who have logged 
into this Fido system. The callers are displayed, by default, in
the chronological order of their first log-in.

However, the SYStem OPerator may choose to change the order in
which callers are displayed.

Instead of listing all names in the system, you can specify a 
partial match; for example entering "TON" at the List-Callers 
prompt will cause only names like "Anthony", "Anton", etc. to be
displayed.

\A
A)ns-Questionnaire. Displays a questionnaire if it exists; you
then fill it out line by line. Each questionnaire is unique and
created by the SYStem OPerator.

\V
V)ersion. Displays the Fido/FidoNet program version.

\O
O)utside. Access to this command is "System Dependent", usually
based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being provided
with access to this command, the caller must be instructed in the
capabilities of this command and the responsibilities which are
associated with this command.

\E
E)xit-to-DOS. Access to this command is "System Dependent", 
usually based upon the caller's privilege level. Prior to being
provided with access to this command, the caller must be
instructed in the capabilities of this command and the 
responsibilities which are associated with this command.

\G
G)oodbye: Log-off of Fido. Depending upon the implementation of
Fido on this system, you may be prompted to optionally enter a
Private message to the SYSOP before you are logged off. After
log-off, you will be disconnected.

It is safe to "Hang Up" on Fido; it is never harmful.
