Turning the Alert for a Super Maildrop On and Off

Turning an alert on or off for a super maildrop is the same procedure as for a maildrop (see page 20), except for the screen indicators.

ŒMake sure the super maildrop (I or b) you want is highlighted (G or @).

See page 20 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures. When you have finished, the super maildrop indicator is either G (alert off) or @ (alert on).

Turning the Alert for a Specific Topic On and Off

Topic alerts can be turned on only if the entire super maildrop is alert-enabled. After assigning a unique alert to the super maildrop, that same alert is used for each alert-enabled topic within that super maildrop. Turning an alert on or off for a topic is the same procedure as for a maildrop alert.

ŒMake sure the topic list is displayed and the topic you want (^ or n) is at the top of the list.

See page 20 for the beginning of the maildrop alert procedures. When you have finished, the topic indicator is either ^ (alert off) or n (alert on).
