Aide Commands ------------- These commands may be used by any user with Aide or higher access by first typing the [A] key from any room prompt, then following it with the various keys to access the specific functions. All of these functions take effect on the current room. [E] Edit Room Status [A] Roomname Change the name of the room. [B] Number Change the room record number, net yet implimented . [C] Generation Changes the generation number so that all users lose access to this room (unless they are high level users). You may increment this number by one up to 254, then re-start again at 2. This function should only be used at the request of the developer, otherwise you will remove user access to this room. Any room with a generation number of 0 is inactive, 1 is public (any user has access), and 2 or higher would be used for hidden or invitation only rooms. [D] Floor Change the floor number that the room is located on. [E] Status Set room status to public, hidden, or invitation only. Public rooms can be accessed by all users. Hidden rooms can only be entered by users if they type [.][G]"ROOMNAME" using the EXACT room name after which the room will be treated as a public room to the user. Invitation only rooms can only be entered by users who have been [I]nvited into the room by an Aide. Aides have access to all hidden rooms but not invitation only rooms. [F] Anonymous All messages in this room will show ****** hiding the date, time, and author field. If a user logs on with the system password, the headers will show the real author. [G] Archived Save all the messages in this room to a specified filename for archival purposes. Enter a standard pathname (i.e. "C:\ARCHIVES\ROOMNAME.MSG"). The directory and file will be created by ST-Keep. [H] Directory Add or remove directory status for this room to allow file uploads and downloads. Enter a standard pathname (i.e. "C:\FOLDER\") or [RETURN] to remove directory status. If the directory isn't already present, ST-Keep will create it.
