ENTRHELP last update 11/15/79.
I can give you help for each of the message entry options.

[Want help on 'A=ABORT' function
The Abort function is used to abort the message entry.
Nothing you have done is saved.  You will return to the main
menu asking which function you want next.  If you use abort,
the system will confirm your intent to throw your msg away.
][Want help on the 'C=CONTINUE INPUT' function
The CONTINUE INPUT function allows you to continue to input
your message where you left off, unless you have already
entered the 16 line maximum.  You will go back into
input mode, prompted by the next open line number.
][Want help on 'E=EDIT' function
The EDIT function allows you to edit your message, by 
doing character string substitutions within a particular
line.  For example, if you have a line with 'moem' in it,
but you wanted it to be 'modem', use the E command, give
the line number, (if not known, find the line number by
using the L command) then when it asks, type: /moem/modem/
The first string will be searched for, and if found, will
be replaced by the second string.  Any printable character
may be used instead of the '/', providing it does not appear
in either the old or new string.  For example, to change
"11/13/79" to "12/15/79" type: =11/13=12/15=  i.e. use
"=" as the delimiter for old and new string.
        E keeps asking for the command, so you can perform 
multiple changes.  When the line is right, just press return. 
        A command of: /// prints the line with no changes.
][Want help on the D and I (line delete and insert) functions
D deletes a line.  You will be asked for the line number. The
following lines are all moved back 1, so be careful when de-
leting more than 1 line:  D;1;D;2 would delete lines 1 and 3
because D;1 deleted 1, and made old lines 2, 3.. into 1, 2...
Therefore to delete the first 2 lines, type: D;1;D;1

I inserts a line.  You will be asked which line you want the
new line inserted BEFORE, and then asked for the new line data.
][Want help on 'L=LIST' function
The List function allows you to list your message, to 'proof
read' it, or to find which line you made a mistake in.
You simply type: L;nn and the message will be listed starting
at line nn.  (or you may type just: L  and will be prompted
for the starting line number.)  In CBBS versions 3.0 or later,
you may press K or ctl-K to stop the listing.  Control goes
back to the enter subfunctions (not to the main menu, as with
versions of CBBS before 3.0).
][Want help on 'R=RETYPE' function
The R function allows you to correct mistakes in your
message by totally retyping any line.  The system will ask
you for the line number to change, so be sure you know it in 
advance.  Use the L (list) command if you are not sure of the 
line number.
][Want help on the 'G=get msg' function
If you want to get a previous message instead of keying in
a new one, use the G command, and when asked, give the
message number to be gotten.  After you get it, you can use
all of the other commands, to modify this message, then save
it back with "S".  It will be saved as a new message, the
highest one in the system, so be sure to delete the old one
you got if that is appropriate.
][Want help on 'S=SAVE' function
You use the Save function when you are satisfied that your
message is correct, and that you want to store it.  CBBS
will write the message to disk, and update the summary file
and number of active messages.  When you want the message 
erased, you sign on the system and use the (K)ill function 
and the password you assigned (if any).
]To get out of message input at any time, just press return
twice.  You will return to the ENTER sub-function menu, and
can then use the (A)bort command to go back to the main menu.
