Process number and on-line help identification.
The various processing functions contained in the software are identified by
three numbers displayed in the status banner. The first of those three
numbers is the main process system (BBS, FBBDOS, Satellite
Computation, etc...), the second number is the process function (in the BBS,
list, message sending, etc..) and the third number is a sub-function (record
of the message title, message, etc..)
A complete description of these numbers would be useless and time consuming.
They are mainly used for debugging purpose. The first number is also used to
identify the help block out of the x.HLP file. Upon receipt of the "?" or the
"H", the software searches the x.HLP file for a line of
corresponding to the language in use, and of the format @@ number word in
which "number" stands for the current processing level, and "word" stands for
the word following the command "?" or "H".
Example : you are inside FBBDOS, and you type in the command "? EDIT", the
help block searched for must begin with the line:
@@ 9 EDIT
It may happen that a block matches several search keywords. It is enough to
specify the various words separated by the character "|" (vertical bar), WITH
NO SPACE.
@@ 9 EDIT|EDITEUR
