Hi, Please tell me if there is an easier way to CHANGE threads when you're reading the board messages. I get to the end of my thread, do TOP, do Read messages, and then do Read Thread and then the new number. This is a little long. The system will not recognize "RT" from the middle of a thread (that I have been able to find). Is there hope? Thank for your attention. Captain Video

Gregory, If you set your subtopics (SS 1,2,3, etc.) and then RTN at the prompt, you will get all the messages in those subjects. If you SS ALL (default setting), you will get all the new messages in the base presented in thread-order, and contining all the C-Complex vitamins and Amigainfo you will need for strong, healthy programming. (You can 'permanently' set your topics in OPtions) Hope this helps, Doug

Best bet is to use the BRO command. At the Function: prompt, type BRO;N. It will give you the title of the thread and a (Y N) … type Y if you want to read the thread, N (or return) if you don't. If you choose Y, and are in the thread you can get out of the thread by typing SKIP — this will skip you out the current branch of the thread you are in. To get out of the thread totally (and see the topic of the next thread) type SKALL (SKip ALL).
