Posting a message
In our example, we post a message to the bulletin board about a problem with a
new trunk group, and a Lucent representative replies to our message.
To post a message to the bulletin board:
1. Type
change bulletin-board and press RETURN.
The Bulletin Board screen appears. There are three pages of message space
within the bulletin board. The first page has 19 lines, but you can only enter
text on lines 11-19. The first 10 lines on page 1 are for high-priority
messages from Lucent Technologies personnel and are noted with an
asterisk (*). The second and third pages each have 20 lines, and you can
enter text on any line. The system automatically enters the date the message
was posted or last changed to the right of each message line.
2. Type your message.
You can enter up to 40 characters of text per line. You also can enter one
blank line. If you enter more than one blank line, the system consolidates
them and displays only one. The system also deletes any blank line if it is
line one of any page. You cannot indent text on the bulletin board. The
TAB
key moves the cursor to the next line.
3. Press
ENTER to save your changes.
Deleting messages
To delete a message from the bulletin board:
1. Type
change bulletin-board and press RETURN.
The Bulletin Board
screen appears.
