  
  Welcome to OLMS 2.51, a powerful new mail door that allows you, the user,
  to perform many actions through control messages.

  These control messages are created in your mail reader just like sending
  any normal message, except the person you address it to is "OLMS".  The
  subject of the message is the action you wish it to take.  

  Here are a list of the actions you can perform...

         ADD                     - Joins the conference that the
                                   message was written in

         DROP                    - Drops the conference that the
                                   message was written in

         RESET                   - Resets the message pointer in
                                   the conference that the message
                                   was written in

         RESET number            - Number of messages back to reset
                                   the pointer to in the area that the
                                   message was posted

         KEYWORD keyword word    - Adds a keyword to the user keywords
                                   listing

         FILTER  filter word     - Adds a filter to the user filter
                                   listing

         TWIT    twit name       - Adds a twit name to the user twit
                                   listing

         KEYWORD -keyword word   - Removes a keyword from the user
                                   keyword listing

         FILTER  -filter word    - Removes a filter from the user
                                   filter listing

         TWIT    -twit name      - Removes a twit from the user
                                   twit name listing

         REQUEST filename        - Requests a file from your FDB

         REQUEST conf msgnum     - Requests the files attached
                                   to msgnum in conf

         REQUEST msgnum          - Requests the files attached
                                   to msgnum in the current conf


    So, for an example...

         From: PETE ROCCA
           To: OLMS
         Subj: DROP 134

    Would drop area 134 from your area configuration when the message 
    was uploaded to the system.

    Another example...

         From: PETE ROCCA
           To: OLMS
         Subj: REQUEST GOODGAME.ZIP

    Would request the file GOODGAME.ZIP from the BBS when you uploaded
    your replies.  

    If you are using the BlueWave format, then most likely your mail
    reader will provide other ways to perform the same actions, but 
    even if it does, you can always use this method if you prefer.

    One other thing that OLMS allows you to do, is enter netmail in your
    offline reader, even in the QWK format.  This can be done simply by
    placing an at symbol (@) before the fidonet style address you wish
    to send netmail to.  

    For example, if you wanted to send a message to 1:2401/305, you 
    would post your message like this...

         From: PETE ROCCA
           To: BOB SMITH
         Subj: @1:2401/305

    ...it's as simple as that!

    I hope that you enjoy this new mail door, and if you have any 
    questions, your Sysop will probably be more than happy to help you
    out.

    Good luck, and happy mailing!
