-" New User's Introduction to the site\n"
-" \n"
-" This is an introduction to the Citadel BBS concept. It is intended\n"
-"for new users so that they can more easily become acquainted to using\n"
-"Citadel when accessing it in the form of a text-based BBS. Of\n"
-"course, old users might learn something new each time they read\n"
-"through it.\n"
-" \n"
-" Full help for the BBS commands can be obtained by typing <.H>elp SUMMARY\n"
-" \n"
-" The CITADEL BBS room concept\n"
-" ----------------------------\n"
-" The term BBS stands for 'Bulletin Board System'. The analogy is\n"
-"appropriate: one posts messages so that others may read them. In\n"
-"order to organize the posts, people can post in different areas of the\n"
-"BBS, called rooms.\n"
-" In order to post in a certain room, you need to be 'in' that room.\n"
-"Your current prompt is usually the room that you are in, followed the\n"
-"greater-than-sign, such as:\n"
-" \n"
-" Lobby>\n"
-" \n"
-" The easiest way to traverse the room structure is with the 'Goto'\n"
-"command, on the 'G' key. Pressing 'G' will take you to the next room\n"
-"in the 'march list' (see below) that has new messages in it. You can\n"
-"read these new messages with the 'N' key.\n"
-" Once you've 'Gotoed' every room in the system (or all of the ones\n"
-"you choose to read) you return to the 'Lobby,' the first and last room\n"
-"in the system. If new messages get posted to rooms you've already\n"
-"read during your session you will be brought BACK to those rooms so\n"
-"you can read them.\n"
-" \n"
-" March List\n"
-" ----------\n"
-" All the room names are stored in a march list, which is just a\n"
-"list containing all the room names. When you <G>oto or <S>kip a\n"
-"room, you are placed in the next room in your march list THAT HAS NEW\n"
-"MESSAGES. If you have no new messages in any of the rooms on your\n"
-"march list, you will keep going to the Lobby>. You can choose not to\n"
-"read certain rooms (that don't interest you) by 'Z'apping them. When\n"
-"you <Z>ap a room, you are merely deleting it from your march list (but\n"
-"not from anybody else's).\n"
-" \n"
-" You can use the <.G>oto (note the period before the G. You can also use\n"
-"<J>ump on some systems) to go to any room in the\n"
-"system. You don't have to type in the complete name of a room to\n"
-"'jump' to it; you merely need to type in enough to distinguish it from\n"
-"the other rooms. Left-aligned matches carry a heavier weight, so if you\n"
-"typed (for example) '.Goto TECH', you might be taken to a room called\n"
-"'Tech Area>' even if it found a room called 'Biotech/Ethics>' first.\n"
-" \n"
-" To return to a room you have previously <Z>apped, use the <.G>oto command\n"
-"to enter it, and it will be re-inserted into your march list. In the case\n"
-"of returning to Zapped rooms, you must type the room name in its entirety.\n"
-"REMEMBER, rooms with no new messages will not show on your\n"
-"march list! You must <.G>oto to a room with no new messages.\n"
-"Incidentally, you cannot change the order of the rooms on your march list.\n"
-"It's the same for everybody.\n"
-" \n"
-" Special rooms\n"
-" -------------\n"
-" There are two special rooms on a Citadel that you should know about.\n"
-" \n"
-" The first is the Lobby>. It's used for system announcements and other\n"
-"such administrativia. You cannot <Z>ap the Lobby>. Each time you first\n"
-"login, you will be placed in the Lobby>.\n"
-" \n"
-" The second is Mail>. In Mail>, when you post a messages, you are\n"
-"prompted to enter the screen name of the person who you want to send the\n"
-"message to. Only the person who you send the message to can read the\n"
-"message. NO ONE else can read it, not even the admins. Mail> is the\n"
-"first room on the march list, and is un-<Z>appable, so you can be sure\n"
-"that the person will get the message.\n"
-" \n"
-" System admins\n"
-" -------------\n"
-" These people, along with the room admins, keep the site running smoothly.\n"
-"\n"
-" Among the many things that admins do are: create rooms, delete\n"
-"rooms, set access levels, invite users, check registration, grant\n"
-"room admin status, and countless other things. They have access to the\n"
-"Aide> room, a special room only for admins.\n"
-" \n"
-" If you enter a mail message to 'Sysop' it will be placed in the\n"
-"Aide> room so that the next admin online will read it and deal with it.\n"
-"Admins cannot <Z>ap rooms. All the rooms are always on each admin's\n"
-"march list. Admins can read *any* and *every* room, but they *CAN* *NOT*\n"
-"read other users' Mail!\n"
-" \n"
-" Room admins\n"
-" -----------\n"
-" Room admins are granted special privileges in specific rooms.\n"
-"They are *NOT* true system admins; their power extends only over the\n"
-"rooms that they control, and they answer to the system admins.\n"
-" \n"
-" A room admin's job is to keep the topic of the their room on track,\n"
-"with nudges in the right direction now and then. A room admin can also\n"
-"move an off topic post to another room, or delete a post, if he/she\n"
-"feels it is necessary. \n"
-" \n"
-" Currently, very few rooms have room admins. Most rooms do not need\n"
-"their own specific room admin. Being a room admin requires a certain\n"
-"amount of trust, due to the additional privileges granted.\n"
-" \n"
-" Citadel messages\n"
-" ----------------\n"
-" Most of the time, the BBS code does not print a lot of messages\n"
-"to your screen. This is a great benefit once you become familiar\n"
-"with the system, because you do not have endless menus and screens\n"
-"to navigate through. nevertheless, there are some messages which you\n"
-"might see from time to time.\n"
-" \n"
-" 'There were messages posted while you were entering.'\n"
-" \n"
-" This is also known as 'simulposting.' When you start entering a \n"
-"message, the system knows where you last left off. When you save\n"
-"your message, the system checks to see if any messages were entered\n"
-"while you were typing. This is so that you know whether you need\n"
-"to go back and re-read the last few messages. This message may appear\n"
-"in any room.\n"
-" \n"
-" '*** You have new mail'\n"
-" \n"
-" This message is essentially the same as the above message, but can\n"
-"appear at any time. It simply means that new mail has arrived for you while\n"
-"you are logged in. Simply go to the Mail> room to read it.\n"
-" \n"
-" Who list\n"
-" --------\n"
-" The <W>ho command shows you the names of all users who are currently\n"
-"online. It also shows you the name of the room they are currently in. If\n"
-"they are in any type of private room, however, the room name will simply\n"
-"display as '<private room>'. Along with this information is displayed the\n"
-"name of the host computer the user is logged in from.\n"
-
-,
-
-"To send mail on this system, go to the Mail> room (using the command .G Mail)\n"
-"and press E to enter a message. You will be prompted with:\n"
-" \n"
-" Enter Recipient:\n"
-" \n"
-" At this point you may enter the name of another user on the system. Private\n"
-"mail is only readable by the sender and recipient. There is no need to delete\n"
-"mail after it is read; it will scroll out automatically.\n"
-" \n"
-" To send mail to another user on the Citadel network, simply type the\n"
-"user's name, followed by @ and then the system name. For example,\n"
-" \n"
-" Enter Recipient: Joe Schmoe @ citadrool\n"
-" \n"
-" If your account is enabled for Internet mail, you can also send email to\n"
-"anyone on the Internet here. Simply enter their address at the prompt:\n"
-" \n"
-" Enter Recipient: ajc@herring.fishnet.com\n"
-
-,

-"that room on all other systems carrying it (The name of the room, however,\n"
-"may be different on other systems).\n"

+ " \n"
+ " This is an introduction to the Citadel BBS concept. It is intended\n"
+ "for new users so that they can more easily become acquainted to using\n"
+ "Citadel when accessing it in the form of a text-based BBS. Of\n"
+ "course, old users might learn something new each time they read\n"
+ "through it.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Full help for the BBS commands can be obtained by typing <.H>elp SUMMARY\n"
+ " \n"
+ " The CITADEL BBS room concept\n"
+ " ----------------------------\n"
+ " The term BBS stands for 'Bulletin Board System'. The analogy is\n"
+ "appropriate: one posts messages so that others may read them. In\n"
+ "order to organize the posts, people can post in different areas of the\n"
+ "BBS, called rooms.\n"
+ " In order to post in a certain room, you need to be 'in' that room.\n"
+ "Your current prompt is usually the room that you are in, followed the\n"
+ "greater-than-sign, such as:\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Lobby>\n"
+ " \n"
+ " The easiest way to traverse the room structure is with the 'Goto'\n"
+ "command, on the 'G' key. Pressing 'G' will take you to the next room\n"
+ "in the 'march list' (see below) that has new messages in it. You can\n"
+ "read these new messages with the 'N' key.\n"
+ " Once you've 'Gotoed' every room in the system (or all of the ones\n"
+ "you choose to read) you return to the 'Lobby,' the first and last room\n"
+ "in the system. If new messages get posted to rooms you've already\n"
+ "read during your session you will be brought BACK to those rooms so\n"
+ "you can read them.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " March List\n"
+ " ----------\n"
+ " All the room names are stored in a march list, which is just a\n"
+ "list containing all the room names. When you <G>oto or <S>kip a\n"
+ "room, you are placed in the next room in your march list THAT HAS NEW\n"
+ "MESSAGES. If you have no new messages in any of the rooms on your\n"
+ "march list, you will keep going to the Lobby>. You can choose not to\n"
+ "read certain rooms (that don't interest you) by 'Z'apping them. When\n"
+ "you <Z>ap a room, you are merely deleting it from your march list (but\n"
+ "not from anybody else's).\n"
+ " \n"
+ " You can use the <.G>oto (note the period before the G. You can also use\n"
+ "<J>ump on some systems) to go to any room in the\n"
+ "system. You don't have to type in the complete name of a room to\n"
+ "'jump' to it; you merely need to type in enough to distinguish it from\n"
+ "the other rooms. Left-aligned matches carry a heavier weight, so if you\n"
+ "typed (for example) '.Goto TECH', you might be taken to a room called\n"
+ "'Tech Area>' even if it found a room called 'Biotech/Ethics>' first.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " To return to a room you have previously <Z>apped, use the <.G>oto command\n"
+ "to enter it, and it will be re-inserted into your march list. In the case\n"
+ "of returning to Zapped rooms, you must type the room name in its entirety.\n"
+ "REMEMBER, rooms with no new messages will not show on your\n"
+ "march list! You must <.G>oto to a room with no new messages.\n"
+ "Incidentally, you cannot change the order of the rooms on your march list.\n"
+ "It's the same for everybody.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Special rooms\n"
+ " -------------\n"
+ " There are two special rooms on a Citadel that you should know about.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " The first is the Lobby>. It's used for system announcements and other\n"
+ "such administrativia. You cannot <Z>ap the Lobby>. Each time you first\n"
+ "login, you will be placed in the Lobby>.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " The second is Mail>. In Mail>, when you post a messages, you are\n"
+ "prompted to enter the screen name of the person who you want to send the\n"
+ "message to. Only the person who you send the message to can read the\n"
+ "message. NO ONE else can read it, not even the admins. Mail> is the\n"
+ "first room on the march list, and is un-<Z>appable, so you can be sure\n"
+ "that the person will get the message.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " System admins\n"
+ " -------------\n"
+ " These people, along with the room admins, keep the site running smoothly.\n"
+ "\n"
+ " Among the many things that admins do are: create rooms, delete\n"
+ "rooms, set access levels, invite users, check registration, grant\n"
+ "room admin status, and countless other things. They have access to the\n"
+ "Aide> room, a special room only for admins.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " If you enter a mail message to 'Sysop' it will be placed in the\n"
+ "Aide> room so that the next admin online will read it and deal with it.\n"
+ "Admins cannot <Z>ap rooms. All the rooms are always on each admin's\n"
+ "march list. Admins can read *any* and *every* room, but they *CAN* *NOT*\n"
+ "read other users' Mail!\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Room admins\n"
+ " -----------\n"
+ " Room admins are granted special privileges in specific rooms.\n"
+ "They are *NOT* true system admins; their power extends only over the\n"
+ "rooms that they control, and they answer to the system admins.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " A room admin's job is to keep the topic of the their room on track,\n"
+ "with nudges in the right direction now and then. A room admin can also\n"
+ "move an off topic post to another room, or delete a post, if he/she\n"
+ "feels it is necessary. \n"
+ " \n"
+ " Currently, very few rooms have room admins. Most rooms do not need\n"
+ "their own specific room admin. Being a room admin requires a certain\n"
+ "amount of trust, due to the additional privileges granted.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Citadel messages\n"
+ " ----------------\n"
+ " Most of the time, the BBS code does not print a lot of messages\n"
+ "to your screen. This is a great benefit once you become familiar\n"
+ "with the system, because you do not have endless menus and screens\n"
+ "to navigate through. nevertheless, there are some messages which you\n"
+ "might see from time to time.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " 'There were messages posted while you were entering.'\n"
+ " \n"
+ " This is also known as 'simulposting.' When you start entering a \n"
+ "message, the system knows where you last left off. When you save\n"
+ "your message, the system checks to see if any messages were entered\n"
+ "while you were typing. This is so that you know whether you need\n"
+ "to go back and re-read the last few messages. This message may appear\n"
+ "in any room.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " '*** You have new mail'\n"
+ " \n"
+ " This message is essentially the same as the above message, but can\n"
+ "appear at any time. It simply means that new mail has arrived for you while\n"
+ "you are logged in. Simply go to the Mail> room to read it.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Who list\n"
+ " --------\n"
+ " The <W>ho command shows you the names of all users who are currently\n"
+ "online. It also shows you the name of the room they are currently in. If\n"
+ "they are in any type of private room, however, the room name will simply\n"
+ "display as '<private room>'. Along with this information is displayed the\n"
+ "name of the host computer the user is logged in from.\n",
+
+ "To send mail on this system, go to the Mail> room (using the command .G Mail)\n"
+ "and press E to enter a message. You will be prompted with:\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Enter Recipient:\n"
+ " \n"
+ " At this point you may enter the name of another user on the system. Private\n"
+ "mail is only readable by the sender and recipient. There is no need to delete\n"
+ "mail after it is read; it will scroll out automatically.\n"
+ " \n"
+ " To send mail to another user on the Citadel network, simply type the\n"
+ "user's name, followed by @ and then the system name. For example,\n"
+ " \n"
+ " Enter Recipient: Joe Schmoe @ citadrool\n"
+ " \n"
+ " If your account is enabled for Internet mail, you can also send email to\n"
+ "anyone on the Internet here. Simply enter their address at the prompt:\n"
