I'm a bit behind in messages - but I wanted to share a couple of points.

%HELP sends you a help message - with instructions
%RESCAN will resend you old messages

Depending on the BBS implementation of tosser functions, %RESCAN behaves differently. Since I use hpt (and I'm your hub) - the syntax is %RESCAN <area> N days, where <area> is a named area (as retrieved from %LIST), or "*" to represent all areas, or "A*" to represent all areas that being with "A" (for example). "N" is the number of days to rescan for, if followed by "days" keyword, otherwise it means the list "N" messages.

%HELP is normally your first thing use with any hub (and it's mentioned in my welcome email as well) :)
