                Welcome to the UCLink Menu System

This is a short introduction to the UCLink menu system.  If you want to
refer to it later, you can read it on the "Information about the menu
system and UCLink" menu.

The UCLink menu system is designed to make it easy for you to use mail
on UCLink and to use the campus network and Internet to access
information resources.


You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate in the menu
system.  Here is a sample menu:

               The Post Office

 -->  1.  Use Pine to send and receive mail.
      2.  List messages in my "inbox".
      3.  List most recent messages in my "inbox".
      4.  Set up mail forwarding or a vacation message/
      5.  Managing mailing lists/
      6.  Use the BSD "mail" system/

The arrow, "-->", indicates your current position in the menu.  You can
move within the menu by pressing the down and up arrow keys or by using
equivalent editor (pico, jove, emacs, vi) commands.

A line ending of "." indicates a command; an ending of "/" indicates
a menu.  To execute a command or bring up a menu, move to its line and
press a right arrow.  To return to a previous menu, press the left arrow.

Entering a line number moves to that line and invokes that command or menu.

Several short cuts have been defined by letters.  For example, "p" is
defined as a short cut to Pine.  This means that you can press "p"
in any menu to invoke Pine.

The list of initial shortcuts is:

        f  "finger"
        g  UCLink Gopher
        n  Usenet news reader
        p  Pine mail system
        t  "talk"
        x  UNIX shell

Important commands include:

        v  bring up short-cut menu
        ?  display a general help screen
        *  display help information about the current line

You can escape to the shell at any time with the "x" short cut.
To the UCLink menu system, enter "exit".

If you would prefer not to use the menu system, go to the
"Customizing your account" menu and you can have the menu
removed from your default environment.

The menu system was developed by the Workstation Software Group at
UC Berkeley.  The interface was modeled after the UNIX Gopher 
client developed at the University of Minnesota.  The menu system
is copyright, 1994, by the Regents of the University of California.

If you have any comments on the mailing system, please send mail
to the account "consult" on UCLink.

This introduction to the UCLink menu system is available within
the menu system by selecting "Information about the menu system
and UCLink" on the main menu.

Welcome to UCLink, the campus network, and the Internet.
