                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 in 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, to use the campus network and Internet to access information
resources, to communicate across the campus network and the Internet,
and to manage your UCLink account.

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 the 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  view short-cut menu
        ?  display a general help screen
        *  display help information about the current line

You can escape to the UNIX shell any time you are looking at a menu
with the "x" short cut.  If you escape to the shell, enter "exit" to
return to the UCLink menu system.

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 menu 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.
