 SYSOP.HLP Copyright Tom Jennings 2 April 90
\?
   SYSOP is the Fido/FidoNet utility used to manipulate the
caller list, CALLER.SYS. It is fairly simple to use; for help
with a specific command, hit ? again, then the command key you
want help with. 
\l
        Searches the caller list for a specific name or part of a
name. Entering "AN" will find: Brand, Stan, Anthony, etc. It is
not case sensitive. The search starts the the NEXT record, and
ends when a match is found. If during the search the end of the
file is reached, it then proceeds from the beginning of the file
until it reaches the original .... starting point or finds a
match. Typing ESCape will stop the search.
\-
        Goes backwards one record.
\<
        Goes backwards one record.
\+
        Goes forward one record.
\>
        Goes forward one record.
\b
        Goes to the first record in the caller file.
\e
        Goes to the the last record in the caller file.
\i
        Input a new name. This merely creates a new, blank caller
record at the end of the file. You need to fill in the user name,
password, city and any other desired features and options. Note
that Sysop will let you leave important parts such as the name
blank; Fido will not allow you to log in with these however.
\a
        Enter a caller address. 
\w
        Enter a new password. It must be one word up to 15
characters. Upper or lower case does not matter.

\p
	Set the callers privilege level; 0 is the lowest (see
specific cautions on Privilege level 0 in Fido's manual) and 4 is
the highest. 7 is for Sysop level privileges. See the manual also
for side effects of the various privilege levels.
\g
        Exits to DOS.
\o
        "Stamps" caller records by age; this is used to purge
callers who have not called into the system in a long time. This
prompts for the age of callers to stamp, in days. Each caller
record in the file is then checked; if it is this age or older it
is marked (STAMPED); records under this are have any stamp
removed. (Use A)ge-Stamp "1000 days" to effectively remove all
stamps from all records.)
        The ! Purge-Stamped command can be used to permanently
remove all (STAMPED) records from the file. Also get HELP! on the
S)tamp, ! Purge-Stamped and U)n-Stamp commands.
\s
        Mark the current caller record as (STAMPED). The ! Purge
Stamped command can be used to permanently remove all (STAMPED)
records from the file. The U)n-Stamp command removes the stamp.
Also get HELP! on the S)tamp, U)n-Stamp and ! Purge-Stamped
commands.
\u
        Remove any stamp from the current record. Also get HELP!
with the A)ge-Stamp, S)tamp and ! Purge-Stamped commands.
\$
	Add money to the callers credit field. The number you
enter is ADDED to any amount already there. To clear credit
first, (such as to set a specific value), enter NONE. The callers
debit will be subtracted from the credit before adding any
additional amount.
\m
        Set the default Message Area the caller is in when they
log in. This is generally only used when each caller is locked
into a specific Message Area, ie. they cannot access the A)rea
Change command from within Fido. Please refer to the manual for
details.
\f
        Set the default File Area the caller is in when they log
in. This is generally only used when each caller is locked into a
specific File Area, ie. they cannot access the A)rea-Change
command from within Fido. Please refer to the manual for details.
\!
        Permanantly purges all (STAMPED) callers from the
CALLER.SYS file. Please refer to HELP! on the A)ge-Stamp and
S)tamp commands before using. Purged records are placed in the
file CALLER.OLD. A backup copy of the original caller file is
made in CALLER.BAK. 
\k
        Add or remove keys from the callers record. To add keys,
just enter the key number or numbers, 1 to 32. 

        1           add key #1
        2 3 27      add keys 2, 3, 27
        -16         remove key 16
        -2 -7       remove keys 2 and 7
        NONE        remove all keys
\r
        Resets the callers accumulative limits: accumulated
download and accumulated connect time.
\c
        This does a very stringent integrity check on the
displayed caller record. It is intended for recovering damaged
caller records. It will force name, password and city to be
printable USASCII (note: may remove extended and international
characters), checks and repairs msg and file area numbers, last
msg-read counters and other internal data. Please be sure to
manually enter any missing or incorrect fields.
\#
        Position to a specific record number.
