You will see control-key commands›referred to in several ways in this book and online. As an example, the command›issued by holding down the Control key while pressing the letter Z may be›referred to as Control-Z, Ctrl+Z, or ^Z. (The last version, ^Z, is what you will›see on your screen when you issue the command.) There are two types of›Control-key commands on DELPHI: Interrupt commands and Action commands.› ›Interrupt commands› ›  Command                Effect› ›  Ctrl+C                 Cancel the current activity and return to the previous›                         prompt.› ›  Ctrl+O                 Skip to the next prompt (stops scrolling output).› ›  Ctrl+S                 Pause the display (typically used when text is›                         scrolling up the screen).› ›  Ctrl+Q                 Resume scrolling. (If you press ^S at a prompt, you›                         must press ^Q before DELPHI will accept next command.)› ›  Action commands› ›  Command                Effect› ›  Ctrl+R                 Redisplay the current line. (Typically used in Mail and›                         Conference modes.)› ›  Ctrl+U                 Cancel a command at a prompt, or erase a line in a›                         message or conference.› ›  Ctrl+X                 Clear commands you have typed ahead that have not yet›                         executed.› ›  Ctrl+Z                 Exit a menu (to the previous menu) or end a process›                         normally (for example, send the email you just›                         created).› ›SYSTEMWIDE COMMANDS›These commands can be issued at any menu prompt, and most other prompts even›though they are sometimes not displayed on the menu.› › Command                 Effect› ›  Bye                    Ends your DELPHI session (logs you off). Does not›                         work in Conferences or at an input prompt (see /Bye).› ›  Exit                   Return to the previous menu from the current one. If›                         you issue this command at the Main menu, you are logged›                         off DELPHI (same as Bye).› › ›  Help                   Display DELPHI's online help for the current menu›                         or prompt (see /Help).› ›  Menu                   Display or redisplay the current menu. (If menus are›                         turned off, pressing ? will display the current menu.›                         Pressing it again will display Help.)› ›IMMEDIATE COMMANDS›Immediate commands can be entered at most DELPHI prompts. They are  especially›useful when you are in a conference, where only Immediate and Control-key›commands can be used.› ›Command                  Effect› › ›  /[NO]BUSY              /Busy disables conference pages and automatic mail›                         messages notification;   /Nobusy enables them› › ›  /DATE                  Show the current date› › ›  /ECHO,                 Controls the echoing of characters.

The default response is often shown in [square brackets],›allowing you to accept it by pressing Enter.› ›Type of response         Format› ›  Date: MM/DD/YY         Enter the number of the month (one or two digits) the›                         date, and  the last two digits of the year. If you›                         leave off the year, DELPHI defaults to the current›                         year. Likewise with the month. Some date prompts›                         default to the current date if you press Enter.› ›  Date: DD-MMM-YYYY      Enter the date (one or two digits), the first three›                         letters of the month, and all four digits of the year.›                         If you omit the year, the current year is supplied.› ›  Yes                    Enter a Y› ›  No                     Enter an N› › ›COMMANDS SPECIFIC TO INDIVIDUAL AREAS›  Several areas on DELPHI have commands that are either unique to them or that›behave differently there than in other areas.› ›Email›  The commands in the email area are used to create, read, reply to, forward,›delete, and otherwise manage your email. If you don't use a mail-reader program,›such as Dlite, then it is particularly important that you understand these›commands in order to efficiently capture your email and get log off. Remember›that the Control-C and Control-Z commands explained earlier are used to cancel›or send an email message that you have created.›  Many of these commands operate on the current message or folder. The current›message is the one you are reading or have just read. The current folder is the›one that is listed if you issue a Directory command.› ›  Command                Effect› ›  Back                   Display the message previous to the current message.› ›  Purge                  Empties the WASTEBASKET folder where deleted messages›                         are held. Normally, messages are deleted when you exit›                         the MAIL> prompt. This command will empty the›                         WASTEBASKET folder immediately.› ›  Compress               The Compress command, issued from the email area, is›                         used to compress the MAIL.MAIfile in your workspace.›                         You can issue this command periodically to remove›                         unnecessary information from the file. Issue the Purge›                         command first. Then issue Compress, go to theworkspace›                         and delete the file named MAIL.OLD. Billing does this›                         automatically once a month if it will reduce storage.› ›  Current                Display the current message again, from the beginning.› ›  Delete                 Type delete by itself to delete the message you have›                         just read. Type delete followed by a message number or›                         range of message numbers to delete those messages›                         (delete 3-5 deletes messages 3, 4, and 5).Type delete›                         /all to delete all messages in the current folder.› ›  Directory              Display a list of the messages in the current folder.› ›  Directory /from_substring=text        These commands will only display mail›            /to_substring=text          which contains the listed text in the›            /subject_substring=text     appropriate location (subject, from,›            /cc_substring=text          to, cc).
