CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
1. Overview
The Cleanup Information (CLU-IN) Bulletin Board System (BBS) is designed for hazardous waste
cleanup professionals to use for finding information about innovative technologies, consulting with
one another online, and accessing databases. CLU-IN is used by those involved in the cleanup of
Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act corrective action sites, including EPA,
other Federal Agency and State personnel, consulting engineers, technology vendors, remediation
contractors, researchers, community groups, and individual citizens.
YOU CAN USE CLU-IN TO:
* Read, print, or save to computer disk current hazardous waste cleanup-related information.
* Exchange computer data, including database files, electronic spreadsheets, word-processor files,
and software.
* Post your own articles and comments online for the benefit of others.
* Ask questions and conduct discussions directly with cleanup experts.
* Exchange private letters and files with other users.
HOW TO ACCESS CLU-IN
To access CLU-IN, you will need:
* A PC or terminal
* Telecommunications software (such as CrossTalk or ProComm)
* A Modem (1200 or 2400 baud)
* A phone line that will handle modem communications
THE CLU-IN PHONE NUMBER IS: 301/589-8366
The telecommunication parameters are: No parity, 8 bits, 1 stop-bit (N-8-1).
When you first access CLU-IN, you will be asked to register and create a password. You must
remember this password and use it every time you access CLU-IN.
This Manual describes how to access and use some of the major capabilities of CLU-IN. Appendix I
lists and describes all user commands and subcommands that are, or soon will be, available to you
on CLU-IN. Appendix II presents a list of the full-screen editor keyboard commands.
-------
CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
2. Help
Detailed assistance is available through online help on CLU-IN. Users can get help for any CLU-IN
prompt. From the "Main Board Command?" prompt, type H followed by the abbreviation of the
command for which you want help. For example, to get help on reading messages, type H R. To get
help at the subcommand level (such as the "End of Message Command," "Message Read Command,"
or "Bulletin List Command"), simply type H. CLU-IN will display help for the prompt from which
you typed H.
In addition, when displaying information (such as messages, file lists, and bulletins) that is more than
one screen long, CLU-IN will display the following prompt at the end of each screen:
(# min left), (H)elp, (N)o More, for More?
At this prompt, type H for an explanation of the display options or to continue
displaying text. To stop the display, type N.
Help is also available in a file (HELP.ZIP) that contains the text of all help screens for CLU-IN.
HELP.ZIP can be downloaded to your computer for reading at your leisure (see page 14 for
instructions on how to download). Also, some of the bulletins on CLU-IN contain instructions for
using CLU-IN. Bulletins may be read online or downloaded to your computer. To view a list of
bulletins, type the command B at the "Main Board Command?" prompt.
In addition to online help, the CLU-IN System Operator (SySop) is available at the CLU-IN Help
Line (301-589-8368) from 9:00 to 5:00 Eastern Time.

adequate to connect to
the BBS. i" A Modem: A modem is used to connect your computer or terminal
', to a telephone line. Almost any 1200 or 2400 baud modem will
mn^m^i^mfmmmmm^mmmmmm^ work. A Hayes-compatible modem is recommended, and is
required by some communications programs running on IBM PC or
AT compatible computers. You may also require cables and telephone jacks to connect the modem
to your computer or terminal and to the telephone line.
A Communications Software Program: Software is necessary if you are using a microcomputer to
connect to CLU-IN (terminals have built-in communications programs). CrossTalk, Smartcom, and
Procomm are common communications programs that work well with CLU-IN.
Configuring Your System
Before connecting to CLU-IN, you must set certain parameters in your terminal or communications
program so that your system "speaks the same language" as that of CLU-IN. Most terminals or
communications programs have a "setup" or "communication parameters" screen that allows you to
make these settings.
Generic Parameters
Set your system to operate at a speed of 1200 or 2400 baud (depending on your modem's capabili-
ties), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. If you later dial up CLU-IN (as described below) and
receive only garbage characters, then it is very likely that one or more of these parameters have not
been correctly set. If this occurs, reset the parameters and hit the key to see if the
garbage characters clean up. Otherwise, hang up, reset the parameters, and try dialing again.

Smartcom Setup on a Macintosh
Under the Connection menu, select "Phone number." Enter 301-589-8366 (include the "9" or "8"
prefix if your phone system uses it). Click on the OK button to save.
Under the Settings menu, select "Speed and Format." Make sure the "Transmission speed" is set at
1200 or 2400, "Bits per character" at 8, "Stop bits" at 1, and "Parity" at none. Click OK to save
these settings.
Under the Settings menu, select "Autotype protocol." Click on the circle next to "Normal" on the top
line. Under "End of Line," make sure the boxes next to "Insert word wrapping at column..." and
"Insert line feeds" are unchecked. If they are checked, click on the boxes to uncheck them. Click OK
to save. Also under the Settings menu, click on the circle next to VT102. Click OK to save.
When you close the file, save the changes and name the file CLU-IN.
CrossTalk Setup on a PC
Table 1 on the following page lists all the required and optional parameters for CrossTalk to get the
most out of the CLU-IN display. The left column of Table 1 contains the parameter prompts
displayed on the CrossTalk setup screen. To select a parameter, enter the first two letters of the
prompt; for example, NU for number. The middle column of the table contains the parameters you
need to select.
-------
CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
Please note that when using CrossTalk, you will need to substitute -U whenever the BBS
requires you to press the key. CrossTalk interprets the as a request to go to the
CrossTalk command line, so you must type -U instead.

Establishing a Connection
Once you have configured your communications software, you are ready to dial CLU-IN. Make sure
your modem is on and properly connected to your computer or terminal and to the telephone system.
Direct your communications software to dial the CLU-IN number, and wait a few seconds for your
computer to connect.
Your computer will usually notify you of a connection with the message "CONNECT" or
"CONNECT 2400" just before the CLU-IN welcoming screen appears. If you cannot connect after
two or three tries, check your communications parameters and make sure the modem cables are
properly connected. Connection failures are usually the result of some problem at the user end of the
system. Occasionally—usually not during regular business hours—CLU-IN is briefly offline for
routine maintenance or upgrade. At these times, the phone does not answer when you dial in. If you
call and the phone does not answer, immediately try again. If there is still no answer, then wait until
later in the day to try again. If you hear a busy signal, then all of the phone lines to CLU-IN are
already in use by other callers. Try calling back in a few minutes. If you persistently have trouble
connecting (because of busy signals or no answer), call the CLU-IN help line at 301-589-8368 and
report the problem.

JOHN DOE PASSWORD
You do not need to be pre-registered to dial into CLU-IN.
When you call CLU-IN for the first time, you will be
asked for your name and a password of your own choosing
(don't trust your memory; keep a record of your password
in a secure place because you will need it every time you
logon to CLU-IN). Do not share your password. As a first
time caller, you will also be asked to complete an online
registration form. The registration questionnaire includes
your organizational affiliation, telephone numbers, and
interest in CLU-IN. CLU-IN will immediately process your
registration information, inform you that it has been saved,
and provide you with full access to the Main Board.
Main Board Menu
CLU-IN has a Main Menu that includes most of the major commands and capabilities (Table 2).
This menu is displayed before what is known as the "Main Board Command?" prompt. To enter a
command at the "Main Board Command?" prompt, simply enter the command abbreviation listed in
the Main Menu (example: type R for [R]ead Messages). Additional commands and subcommands

only the "Main Board Command?" prompt. This will optimize your time and minimize your long-
distance charges (if any). To switch to expert mode, type X at any "Main Board Command?"
prompt. Should you later get stuck, you may re-display the menu by entering the command MENU
at any command prompt to display the Main Menu once, or by typing X at the "Main Board
Command?" prompt to turn off expert mode. CLU-IN will remember which mode, novice or expert,
you were in when you last logged off and return you to that mode the next time you logon.
Goodbye or Logoff
[GJoodbye disconnects you from CLU-IN and initiates the logoff procedure by prompting you with
the question Proceed With Logoff? A [Y]es answer will log you off the system. This command
should always be used to logoff CLU-IN to ensure proper updating of all message pointers. Don't
simply hang up by issuing a command to your communications software without first exiting CLU-
IN by entering G Y, or the equivalent BYE command. The BYE command is a shortcut—a one-step
logoff process. Not all command prompts on CLU-IN will let you logoff. If you are at a command
prompt that does not recognize the G or BYE commands, then hit until a primary
command prompt like the "Main Board Command?" prompt displays on your screen.

4. Messages
Types of Messages
There are four types of messages on CLU-IN:
• Public messages Messages from one user to another that can be read by all users
• Private messages Messages from one user to another that can be read only by the sender and
receiver
• General messages Messages from one user addressed to all other users
• Group messages Messages that can be read only by users who know the password assigned by
the sender
Reading Messages
Reading All Messages
To read all active messages on the Main Board, type R 1+. This will display all active messages
beginning with the oldest and proceeding to the most recent. Alternatively, type R L to read all
active messages in reverse order beginning with the most recent. To read all messages left since the
last time you read messages, type R S.
Reading Your Messages
You can check your messages almost immediately after dialing into CLU-IN by answering Y or
at the prompt that asks Scan Message Base Since Last Read (=Yes). This will
display the message number of the messages addressed to or from you since the last time you read
your messages.
The prompt will read as follows:
Msgs for you:
Msgs from you:
# of messages found:
For example, a prompt that reads "Msgs for you: 32 36", tells you that message numbers 32 and 36
are for you and have not been read. To read an individual message for which you already know the
number, type R followed by the number (example: R 32).
You can also read messages left for you by typing R Y or R YA. R Y will display messages left for
you since you checked them last and R YA will display your messages as well as general messages
(those addressed to all users).
While you are reading messages, you may re-display the previous numerical message in the message
base by typing PREV at a command prompt.
While reading messages, you may re-display the current message by typing "/" at the command
prompt.

CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
Replying to Messages
There are two commands available to you for replying to a message on CLU-IN.
RE To reply to the message you have just read, type RE at the "End of Message
Command?" prompt. To copy (quote) part of the original message into your immediate
reply, scroll back (use arrow keys) to the original message. Scroll to the beginning of the
passage you wish to copy and press the space bar. Scroll to the end of the passage and
press the space bar a second time. Then hit (or -U) to transfer the
information into your reply. These scrolling commands may not work with all
communications software packages.
REPLY # To reply to a message from the "Main Board Command?" prompt, type REPLY
followed by the # (number) of the message to which you wish to respond.
After completing a message reply, you may save it, kill (delete) the message to which you are
replying, and proceed to the next available message by typing the subcommand SK. To save your
reply without killing the original message, type S to save and send the message.
If you do not wish to immediately reply to a message, either record the message number or type M
from the "End of Message Command?" to mark it as a memorized message for later retrieval. The
[RM] Re-Read Memorized Message command, when entered at the "Main Board Command?"
prompt, will re-display the memorized message. However, the mark will only last for the current
online session. Once you disconnect from the BBS, the marks will be erased.
Killing Messages
To kill (delete) a message from the message base, you need the message number and a sufficient
user security level. Generally, CLU-IN allows you to kill messages sent by or addressed to you. At
the "Main Board Command?" prompt, type K # to kill message number #. For example, to kill
message 27, you would type K 27. It is a good idea to kill messages after you have read them. You
can kill a message after reading it by typing K at the "End of Message Command?" prompt.
Entering Messages
To enter a message, type E from the "Main Board Command?" prompt. You will be prompted to
enter the name of the addressee. You can either enter a person's name or press to
address your message to all CLU-IN users. Next, you will be prompted to enter the subject of your
message and to select an editor mode. Enter the subject of the message within the spaces shown. The
next prompt will ask you to enter a message security level. If you want all users to be able to read
the message, press . If you want only the receiver to be able to read it, type R (for
receiver only). Type H at this prompt to see the other available security options.
Next you will be prompted for whether or not to use the Full Screen Editor. If you type N (for no)
at this prompt, you will be prompted to enter your message one line at a time and you will only be
-------
CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
able to edit your message one line at a time. If you type Y (for
yes), you will get the full screen editor which has a built-in word
processor for entering your message. To use the full screen editor,
your software must be capable of interpreting ANSI cursor position
commands.
Next, you will be prompted to enter the text of your message.
Appendix n describes the specialized keyboard functions of the
full-screen editor. At any time while you are entering a message,
you may hit the key (or -U) and choose among a
variety of options, listedbelow, that may assist you in completing
your message:
Security Levels.*,
G Allows sender to
assign a password so
only users who
know the password
can read the
message.
R Only sender and
receiver can read it*
S Allows sender to
assign a password so
only sender can kill
message, but ail
users can read it»
N All users can read
the message.
A)bort Aborts message entry and returns to Main Menu.
C)ont Continues the message by returning to line-by-line
edit of the message. (Use F instead of C to
continue your message using the full-screen editor.)
D)el Prompts you for the line number in the message to
delete.
E)dit Prompts you for the line number in the message to
edit. Then it requires you to type the old text that
you want to replace followed by a semicolon and
the new text (for example, if you typed the word ^^^tma^mmm^mftf^mmm^^i
"watse" instead of "waste" you could correct it by
typing "watse;waste").
F)ulscr Returns you to the full-screen editor and returns you to the message for further
editing.
H)elp Displays help applicable to messages.
I)nsert Prompts you for the line number preceding where the new text will be entered and
for the new text to enter.
L)ist The current message being entered will be re-displayed using the line-by-line editor.
Q)uote Prompts you for a message number and asks you "to start quoting [copying] from
which line?" After you enter a response, it asks for the line number to end the quote
and imports the quote into your message. (Note: the full-screen editor also allows
you to quote or list original by typing -O; see Appendix II.)
S)ave Saves the message you have entered and sends it to the addressee.
U)pload Uploads text from a file.
When you have finished typing your message, hit (or -U) and choose S to post the
message, or SC (not displayed on your screen) to send the entered message to more than one person,
but not to all users. The SC (send copy) request will prompt you for the names of users to whom the
message should be sent. If you want to know who is registered on CLU-IN, type USERS at the
"Main Board Command?" prompt.
If, after you have posted your message, you wish to re-edit it, you may do so by typing R EDIT at
the "Main Board Command?" prompt. EDIT, a subcommand of the [R]ead a Message command,
allows the originator of a message to return to that message to modify it.

CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
Scanning Messages
There are several ways to scan messages for pertinent information before you read them. The first is
Q for QuickScan. If you want to do a quick scan of all messages, use the Q (for quick scan)
command from the "Main Board Command?" prompt. Type Q to scan the addressees, senders, and
the subjects (but not the text) of messages. You will be prompted to enter the message number (#)
from which you wish to start scanning. To limit the scanning to those messages that you have not
already read, type Q S at the "Main Board Command?" prompt (S is the subcommand for "since"
your last reading). CLU-IN will show the message number, sender, addressee, and subject for all
messages left since the last time you read messages.
To find messages left to or sent by a particular user that you designate, type Q USER at the "Main
Board Command?" prompt. The subcommand USER refers to a particular CLU-IN user whom you
will be prompted to identify. The command Q L will display the same information for all messages
in reverse order beginning with the most recent.
If you are looking for messages that contain a particular word or phrase, you may use the TS
command. TS scans all message text and headers for a text string that you specify. When you type
TS from the "Main Board Command?" prompt, CLU-IN will prompt "Enter the Text to Scan for
(=None)?" Type any string of characters. CLU-IN will then ask for which message number
to begin scanning with and will display the highest and lowest active message numbers. To scan in
chronological order, pick the lower number. To scan in reverse chronological order, pick the higher
number.

CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
5. News
To keep users informed of changes, additions, and scheduled maintenance for CLU-IN, there is a
NEWS file that is automatically displayed when you logon for the first time and thereafter whenever
the NEWS changes. The NEWS contains information about new features, bulletins, and files on
CLU-IN; announcements of events; changes in policy on CLU-IN; and notices about any planned
interruptions of service on CLU-IN. To display the NEWS, type NEWS at the "Main Board
Command?" prompt.

CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
6. Bulletins
Bulletins are short files meant to be read by the user online. Bulletins contain information such as
brief news items, schedules, announcements, staff rosters, program descriptions, meeting agendas,
bibliographies, instructions for using CLU-IN, and other brief text that can be read easily online.
Most bulletins are uploaded to CLU-IN by users of CLU-IN. Bulletins can be displayed as follows:
List bulletins
Read a bulletin
Read all bulletins
Read new bulletins
Scan bulletin text
To view a list of all bulletin titles, type B at the "Main Board
Command?" prompt.
To read a bulletin for which you already know the number, simply type B
followed by a space and the number of the bulletin (example: B 2).
The command B A will display the full text of all bulletins beginning
with Bulletin 1.
When the subcommand N is used in conjunction with the B A command
(example: B A N), CLU-IN will display the full text of only those
bulletins new to you since you last logged on.
When the subcommand S is used in conjunction with the B command
(example: B S), CLU-IN will prompt you for a text string to search for;
if a text match is found, the entire bulletin is displayed.
Bulletins may also be downloaded. Each bulletin is a file called BLTx, where x is the number of the
bulletin (example: the file containing Bulletin 13 is BLT13). See Chapter 8 for instructions on
downloading.

CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
7. Files
A variety of files such as databases, utilities, and documents are stored on CLU-IN for downloading.
To view a directory of files, type F at the "Main Board Command?" prompt. You will see a menu
listing three file directories. File Directory 1 lists public domain software files. File Directory 2 lists
files pertaining to the EPA. Directory 3 lists files pertaining to the use of CLU-IN. Choose 1, 2 or 3
to see a list of file names. These directories are listings only. If you want to download a file, you
must flag it (see below) or download it from the "Main Board Command?" prompt.
From the "File List Command?" prompt, there are a number of subcommands you can use to help
you scan and download files:
• Flag When you see a file (or files) that you would like to download, mark it
(flag it) for future downloading by typing F. This will allow you to
specify a list of files that you can download all at once using the
download batch (DB) command (see chapter 8 for information on
downloading). You can also type FLAG from the "Main Board
Command?" prompt if you know the name of the file or files.
• Zippy directory scan If you want to search all file descriptions to find specified text, type Z.
You will be prompted to enter the text for which to search. CLU-IN will
search for your text string in the file descriptions listed in the file
directories.
• View a zip file You may view the contents of a compressed file (ZIP file) by typing V.
You will see a display showing the name, file size before compression,
file size after compression, and file date and time of all the files
contained in the ZIP file.
Zipped (Archived) Files
Many of the files available in the download directories are compressed to conserve space and reduce
transmission time. In some cases, multiple files are packed into a single compressed file called an
archived file. Most archived files have the extension ".ZIP" (such as "Topic.zip"). ZIP'd files are
created with a utility called PKZIP. A self-extracting file called PKZ110.EXE (future updates may
have a different version number) contains the PKZIP/PKUNZIP utilities plus their documentation
and can be downloaded from CLU-IN. Once you have downloaded PKZ110.EXE, type PKZ110
from the subdirectory to which you downloaded the file. It will automatically unpack itself into
several separate files.
The PKZIP program is the preferred utility for compressing files on CLU-IN. When you download
zipped files, they will have to be unzipped and restored using the PKUNZIP program. If you upload
lengthy files to CLU-IN, please use the PKZIP utility to create a ZIP file. It will greatly reduce the
size and transmission time of your files.
For more information about ZIP files, read Bulletin 5 on CLU-IN.

8. Uploading and Downloading Files
Uploading and downloading are functions that allow you to transfer files between CLU-EN and your
computer. Uploading is the process by which you send files from your computer to CLU-IN.
Downloading is the process by which you send files from CLU-IN to your computer.
There are three steps involved in uploading and downloading:
• setting the file transfer protocol,
• giving CLU-IN the command for uploading or downloading, and
• giving your communications software the command to send or receive the file.
The transfer protocol is the name of the language used by your ^^^^^
communications software and CLU-IN software to send or receive
files. The transfer protocol verifies that the data received is j?or
identical to the data sent. If an error occurs, the transfer protocol user
detects it and causes the data to be re-sent. You need to set the
transfer protocol on CLU-IN to match the protocol used by your you ^j, combine down-
communications software. If you are not sure which protocol to |oa'.'!" 7 ::fe :•
listed in the menu. Once selected, CLU-IN keeps a record of your ^HMHHHMMM^^M^^M
protocol and will use it automatically for future uploads or
downloads. The protocol can, however, be changed if necessary.
The next step in the upload/download process (or first step, if you have already selected a transfer
protocol) is to give the proper CLU-IN command to upload or download. Use the D command to
download a single file (or stack), and use the DB command to download a batch of files (see below).
Use U or UB to upload a file or batch of files, respectively (see below).
Downloading a Single File
Before typing the download command, be sure you either know the name of the file or have flagged
the file for download (see Appendix I for instructions on flags). To download more than one file, see
"Downloading a Batch of Files" below. To download a single file, type D at the "Main Board
Command?" prompt. This command prompts you to enter the name of the file (DOS wildcards
permitted) that you wish to download. (If you have flagged a file for download, you will not be
prompted for a filename.) After you have entered the filename, CLU-IN will check to be sure that
the file is available and will display the following information:
15

CLU-IN BBS Users Guide
Checking file transfer request. Please wait ...
Download Time: minutes (approximate)
Download Size: bytes ( blocks)
Total Will Be: bytes
Protocol Type:
File Selected:
(Ctrl-X) Aborts Transfer
You will then have about 60 seconds to give your communications software the command to receive
the file from CLU-IN. The command is usually called RECEIVE (in CrossTalk, the command to
receive an Xmodem transfer is "RX" followed by the filename; in Smartcom on the Macintosh, click
on the "Receive" icon). If you don't know the name of the command in the program you are using,
check your manual. After you enter the proper communications software command, CLU-IN will
indicate that the file is being transferred and will inform you when transfer is complete.
Downloading a Batch of Files
Before typing DB to download a batch of files, be sure you either know the names of the files or
have flagged the files for download (see Appendix I for instructions on flags). When ready to
download, type DB at the "Main Board Command?" prompt. This command prompts you for the
name of the first file (DOS wildcards permitted) and continues to prompt you for the name of each
additional file. (If you have flagged files for download, you will not be prompted for filenames.)
CLU-IN will check to be sure that the files you entered are available and will display the following
information about them:
Batch Download Time: minutes (approximate)
Batch Download Size: bytes ( blocks)
Batch Protocol Type:
(Ready to Send in Batch Mode)
(G)oodbye after Batch, (A)bort or (E)dit Batch,
(=continue)?
Sending files — Start your download
You will then have about 60 seconds to give your communications software the command to receive
the files from CLU-IN. The command is usually called RECEIVE. Be aware that you cannot use the
DB or UB commands unless your communications software supports the Ymodem or Zmodem file
transfer protocols as these are the only protocols that will work with batch uploading and down-
loading. After you enter the proper communications software command, CLU-IN will indicate that
the files are being transferred and inform you when transfer is complete.
Uploading a Single File
To upload a single file, use the Main Board command U. To upload more than one file, see
"Uploading a Batch of Files" below. When ready to upload, type CLU-IN command U, which will
prompt you for the name of the file to be uploaded. Don't forget to include the A: or B: before the
filename if you are uploading from a floppy disk on an IBM-compatible PC. After you enter the
filename, CLU-IN will respond:

Checking file transfer request. Please wait ...
Before beginning, enter a description of (Filename)
Begin description with (/) to make upload 'Private.'
Enter your text. alone to end. (45 characters/line,
lines maximum)
At this prompt, you must type in a brief file description that will go in the directory of files to
inform other users of the purpose of the file. If you want the file to be visible only to the SYSOP,
type a slash (/) as the first character of the file description. After you have entered the description,
CLU-IN will respond with something like the following:
Upload Drive: 130351104 Bytes Free Disk Space
Upload Status: Screened Before Posting
Protocol Type:
(Ctrl-X) Aborts transfer.
You will then have about 60 seconds to give your communications software the command to send or
transmit the file from your computer to CLU-IN. The command is usually called SEND or
TRANSMIT (in CrossTalk, the command to send an Xmodem transfer is "XX" followed by the
filename; in Smartcom on the Macintosh, click on the "Send" icon). If you don't know the name of
the command in the program you are using, check your manual. After you enter the proper
communications software command, CLU-IN will indicate that the file is being transferred and
inform you when transfer is complete.
Uploading a Batch of Files
The UB command assumes that you will be uploading more than one file and prompts you for each
filenames. To begin a batch upload, type UB at the "Main Board Command?" prompt. After entering
each filename and description, CLU-IN will display the following information:
Checking file transfer request. Please wait...
Upload Drive: 17981440 Bytes Free Disk Space
Upload Status: Screened Before Posting
Protocol Type:
(Ctrl-X) Aborts Transfer
You will then have about 60 seconds to give your communications software the command to send or
transmit the file from your computer to CLU-IN. Be aware that you cannot use the DB or UB
commands unless your communications software supports the Ymodem or Zmodem file transfer
protocols, as these are the only protocols that will work with batch uploading and downloading.
After you enter the proper communications software command, CLU-IN will indicate that the file is
being transferred and inform you when transfer is complete.

9. DOORs
A door is a program such as a database that can be run while you are connected to CLU-IN. When
you open a door, you actually leave the software that runs CLU-IN (PCBoard) so you will not see
the usual CLU-IN command prompts and the commands you normally use on CLU-IN will not
apply. When you exit a door, CLU-IN will return to the "Main Board Command?" prompt of the
PCBoard software.
At the "Main Board Command?" prompt, type either OPEN or DOOR. This command will display a
menu of databases or other programs. To select a program from this menu, type the number of the
door. You may also open a door by typing OPEN followed by a space and then the number or name
of the door (example: OPEN 1 or OPEN Courses) from the "Main Board Command?" prompt.
For experienced
users...
Only the first two
letters of multi-letter
commands are needed.
Thus, you may use
"DO" instead of
"DOOR" and "IIS"-
instead of "USER."

10. Special Interest Group (SIG) Areas
^•^^^^••^ CLU-IN has a number of mini-bulletin boards known as Special
Some bulletin boards Interest Group (SIG) areas where callers with similar interests can
use the term communicate with one another. SIGs have all of the same
"conference" or functions and capabilities as the Main Board (menus, news,
"fOrurti$" where we messages, files, bulletins, doors), but each SIG focuses on a
Speak of "SIGs," They specific subject area.
are the same.
As a new user, you are automatically given access to some SIGs.
••••••"•••"•^••••"••••i For other SIGs, however, you must request membership. To view a
list of SIGs, type the command J at the "Main Board Command?"
prompt. If you want to register to join a SIG, leave a comment to the SYSOP (SYStem OPerator) by
typing C at the "Main Board Command?" prompt. Generally by the next business day, the SYSOP
will have changed your user record enabling you to join the SIG(s).
To join a SIG, type J followed by a space and then the number or the name of the SIG you wish to
join (example: J 7 or J INTECH). You may also type only the J command, which displays a menu
of SIGs and allows you to choose one.
To exit a SIG and return to the Main Board, type A (for abandon). To exit one SIG and join another,
type J followed by a space and the number of the other SIG you wish to join.
Even though the SIGs are separate areas of CLU-IN, users can scan the SIG messages from the
Main Board. To read messages in all of the SIGs as well as the Main Board, type R ALL at the
"Main Board Command?" prompt. If there is a set of SIGs that you routinely monitor, you can
SELECT that group of SIGs to scan messages. Type SELECT at the "Main Board Command?"
prompt. You will be prompted with a list of SIGs. Type in the numbers of the SIGs that you
regularly want to scan. Typing the number of a SIG that you have already selected will DESELECT
that SIG. Once you have SELECTED SIGs, every time you use a scan or read command (i.e., Q, R,
or Y) with the subcommand A, CLU-IN will automatically operate only on the selected message
bases. You can also use SELECT or DESELECT as a subcommand of the R command.

11. CHAT
The CHAT command allows you to communicate interactively with other users who are logged onto
CLU-EN at the same time you are. To see if there are any other callers available for an online
conversation, type CHAT. CLU-IN will show a list of who is logged onto each line of CLU-IN and
whether they are available to chat or in a door. A user in a door cannot chat until he/she leaves the
door. To initiate a CHAT with one of these users, type the number of the node the user is on. After
you type a number, CLU-IN will send a message to that user's screen saying (Name) wants to chat
with you. To respond, from the "Main Board Command?" prompt, type CHAT (#) where Name is
the name of the user who wants to chat and # is the number of the node the other user is on. Once
the other user enters the CHAT command, you can communicate interactively. The screen will show
your name and the number of the node you are on followed by a colon. Type your message one line
at a time. Each line is transmitted to the other user as soon as you press the key. To exit
CHAT mode, type E or Q on a line by itself. Either user can end a CHAT session. A sample CHAT
session is depicted below.
