True.  Most BBS interfaces could frustrate newbies, especially  
when it comes to selecting areas to read, posting messages and  
using the key-shortcuts for quoting/editing and saving  
messages.

There is an internal F1-Help system that is pretty good!

The Z-Netz/ZConnect stuff is baggage from its origins.  But all  
that a newbie needs to know to get started is explained in the  
UserGuide known as oxpguide.pdf, available here:
