MFJ-1278B MULTI-MODE BASIC OPERATION
Kill
Allows the remote user to kill messages that are addressed specifically to the user. If
the message is not addressed to the user, then the mailbox will respond with "not
yours", and present the user with the mailbox prompt.
Kill ##
Allows the remote user kill a message in a particular slot, nn. Slot nn is a particular
slot number from 1 to 99. Remote users may only kill messages that are addressed only
to them or originated by them. The local and remote SYSOP can kill any messages,
depending on the setting of the command REMsysop. Please refer to the REMsysop for
more detailed information.
There are three (3) different methods to kill messages in the mailbox, when the remote user is
connected. We will give you a brief overview of these methods below:
1. The remote user can kill a message in a particular slot, when connected to the mailbox.
To kill a message in a certain slot, type:
K## <ENTER>, followed by a changeover character, CTRL-Y.
Where the ## is the slot number of the message the remote user wants to kill.
The Mailbox will respond with:
Mailbox Ready
n free de callsign (H(elp), K, L, R, S)>
The n free is the amount of RAM space available for messages. The n will be no higher than
65K, if a 512K or a 128K Mailbox is in operation. If the Mailbox is 32K then nn will be
32K.The de callsign is the callsign of your Pactor mailbox, that the mailbox sends back to
the remote user.
2.
The remote may also kill any message that is addressed to specifically to the user. To
kill a message that is addressed only to the user, type:
K <ENTER>, followed by a changeover character, CTRL-Y.
This is whether or not the message flag is set to an N or a Y. Note that the remote users may
only kill messages which are addressed them. The originator can kill any message that he/she
originated. The local SYSOP can kill any or all messages in the Mailbox.
3. The remote user can perform a Global Kill on a group of messages that are under the
same callsign. To perform a Global Kill on a group of messages, the following
conditions apply:
I. All messages must have been read and the message flag must be a Y.
