General Overview

This section will deal with the Pactor Mailbox in general. We will take a look at the Pactor mailbox from mainly a remote user's stand point. However, lets take first things first. You very well cannot operate the Mailbox without knowing the functions of the commands. When a remote user connects to the Pactor mailbox, and issues the changeover, your mailbox will present the following prompt:

Mailbox Ready

n free de callsign (H(elp), K, L, R, S)>

The Pactor mailbox will automatically issue a changeover, after it sends the proper response to the user's commands. The n free is the amount of RAM space available for messages. The de callsign is the callsign of your Pactor mailbox, that the mailbox sends back to the remote user. So, lets take a brief look at the command functions of the Pactor Mailbox commands. The command functions are as follows:

H(elp)
