*** MAIL DOCUMENTATION *** This is the California Regional Office Document or DP mail system. To get additional help, type: HELP MAIL DP for data processing type of mail HELP MAIL LOCAL if you are directly wired into the RO PDP-11 HELP MAIL REMOTE if you need a telephone to call the RO PDP-11 HELP MAIL APPENDIX to get a list of distritution names for the MAIL. 2 DP MSG-- Inter-user Message Transfer Utility Users may send mesages to themselves or others using an inter-user message transfer utility, MSG. MSG transfers messages in the form of notices and letters. Letters require replies, messages do not. MSG maintains a 'mailbox' for each user. Each message sent to a user is inserted into their mailbox. The mailbox is not in their UIC. Only the user receiving the message has access to it once it is deposited in their mailbox. The sender cannot retrieve the message. No unprivleged user can access the contents of any other unprivileged user's mailbox. Further HELP on using the MSG utility may be requested by entering HELP MSG keyword. Valid keywords are: NAMES Valid Last Names and Account Numbers. SEND Sending message to another user. SYSTEM Sending message to SYSTEM. RECEIVE Receiving message from another user. 3 SEND Messages may be sent by entering any of the following commands. MSG (filename)[/NO] TO (username) MSG TO (username) MSG If a filename is entered, it must be the valid RSX filename of the file that you wish to send. When a filename is entered, the /NO can be added meaning that the file contains a notice that does not need a reply. Otherwise, MSG will prompt the receiving user for a reply. If filename is omitted, the system prompts for you to enter your message with LETTER>. At this time, the user may enter up to 120 characters per line followed by a . Text lines may be entered in this manner until finished with the message. Then, the user enters a /Z to end of the message. MSG will then ask if you want a reply after you have entered the message. Enter YES or Y if you want a reply to your letter, enter NO or N if you don't want a reply to your notice. If username is omitted, the MSG prompts you with TO WHO? so you can enter a username. Valid usernames are either the user's last name or their account number specified as either [G,M], [G/M], or G/M. MSG will prompt for additional usernames until you enter /Z. Enter HELP MSG NAMES for a list of valid last names and account numbers. 3 RECEIVE MSG can be put in your LOGIN.CMD file by the system manager so you will be notified if there are any messages for you when you log on. You are automatically notified of messages that are sent to you if you are logged on when they are sent. The status of your mailbox may be displayed at any time by entering MSG ?. The number of messages waiting for you will be displayed. You may receive messages by entering MSG ME. The system prefixes each message with the date, UIC of the sender, and the sender's last name. After viewing, MSG will prompt you with SAVE THIS MESSAGE? If you want to transfer the message to your file, enter YES or Y. MSG will then prompt you with MAILBAG NAME? You then enter a filename that will contain the message in your UIC. If you do not want to save the message, enter NO or N. If you want the message to stay in your mailbox so you can view it again, enter . 3 SYSTEM Messages may be left for the system programer, Bohden K. Cmaylo by typing MSG TO CMAYLO. Messages relating to system problems, system performance, hardware problems, unexplained and troublesome error messages, etc. should be left in the system mailbox by typing MSG TO SYSTEM. 3 NAMES Here is a list of valid last names and account numbers as of April 82. MSG will show an error for an invalid name or account.

The areas are named XXXX-USER1 through XXXX-USER6, XXXX-INBOX and XXXX-OUTBOX Where XXXX is the distribution code listed in the NAME APPENDIX. The names are used for signing onto WORD PROCESSING and/or DATA PROCESSING, for example "WAS-USER1". The USER areas are to be used for everyday WORD PROCESSING activities. The INBOX and OUTBOX areas are to be used for MAIL activities ONLY. Each USER has access to the two document areas set up for MAIL in WORD PROCESSING along with one of the SIX USER areas. Area 1; the USER area, which can be used for creating up to 200 documents. Area 2; the INBOX area from which USERS can expect their mail from other USERS. Area 3; the OUTBOX area to which USERS send documents which are to be sent to other USERS. To observe what documents are in the USER, INBOX, and OUTBOX areas, do while in WORD PROCESSING mode: "I" "I 2" "I 3" and the index for the documents in areas 1, 2 and 3 respectively, appear. TYPE: HELP MAIL LOCAL INBOX for instructions on INBOX access HELP MAIL LOCAL OUTBOX for instructions on OUTBOX access 3 INBOX INBOX ACCESS: To obtain index of INBOX documents, do "I 2" when logged into a USER area, MAIN MENU status. After noting what documents exist, either read, print and/or copy the documents to the USER area, after which, delete all documents in the INBOX area. It is a USER responsibility to keep the INBOX area as empty as possible, otherwise the SYSTEM MArNAGER will erase dormant documents. To copy a document, create a document in the USER area, do G, then enter the document name in the form "2.n" where n is the document number. NOTE: When accessing documents from the INBOX area, always use the document number. For example: "2.4" is document 4 of the INBOX area.

To do this, use "P 2.2" and print it locally on your printer. After printing, use "D 2.2" to delete the document. To save the document in your USER area, since INBOX areas will be erased by the SYSTEM MANAGER, do the following: C (a name not yet used) !create a document in your area !press the gold key and the G key 2.2 !enter document number from the INBOX !Press the gold key and the f key The document is now in the USER area. Now delete it from the INBOX area as was shown above. 3 OUTBOX OUTBOX ACCESS: To enter a document into an OUTBOX area, first create it in the USER area. Then to send the document to the OUTBOX area, proceed by the method shown below starting from the MAIN MENU: C 3.name1,name2,...,namex G Name of document in USER area F where name1,name2,...,namex are the distribution codes listed in the NAME column in the APPENDIX. Note: if in creating name1, the name already exists as a document, then the user may place a number directly after the name so as to have a unique name, e.g, CS1 instead of CS. NOTE: When creating documents for the OUTBOX area, if the USER wished to include another distribution code, or remove a code, then the USER could edit document "3.1" to make the indicated change. That document is the index document for the OUTBOX area.

L !enter logon option WAS-USER1 !enter a USER identification To enter a letter into the OUTBOX, first create it in the USER area. Then after it is correct, note what destination codes (found in the NAME column of the APPENDIX) are to be used in sending the letter to other staffs and units. Create a document in area 3, the OUTBOX area, with the names of the destinations, separated by commas, as shown below (assuming RF and CS staffs delivery). A copy will be sent to the issuing user. C 3.RF,CS1 *** Note that CAPITAL letters are used. To transfer that letter into the OUTBOX, do the following: !press gold then G key to get document (name of letter in USER area) !enter same name used to create it !press gold then F key to file document Do an index to see what is in the OUTBOX area: I 3 Area: 3 (WP:[100,70]), # of Docs: 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Document Elapsed Time Number Name Created Modified Size Version Last Total ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 RF,CS1 9/26/80 9/26/80 16:39 1 1 0:01 0:01 1 9/26/80 9/26/80 16:41 2 1 0:00 0:00 There now exists one document which will be sent to RF and CS staffs. To correct the destination, edit document 1 and change the appropiate line. Note that the destination code is in CAPITAL letters. Note that after the OUTBOX account is accessed by the MAILMAN program, ALL documents in the OUTBOX will de deleted. It is up to the USER to have originals in other accounts if they are to be retained. 2 REMOTE Each remote access unit has only two areas for MAIL, named XXXX-INBOX and XXXX-OUTBOX, where XXXX is the distribution code listed in the NAME column in the APPENDIX. The area name is to be used as the log on name for DATA PROCESSING and/or WORD PROCESSING operations. TYPE: HELP MAIL REMOTE INBOX for remote INBOX access info HELP MAIL REMOTE OUTBOX for remote OUTBOX access info 3 INBOX INBOX REMOTE ACCESS: Prior to transmitting documents from the RO PDP 11/70 computer to the USER site, an empty local area (a FORMATTED diskette) should be set up to receive INBOX documents. This is desired so that the index document could also be transmitted. Then telephone the 11/70 using CX mode and sign on the computer using XXXX-INBOX for the account name. Then do "PIP *.W11/LI" to obtain the names of the various documents ready for transmitting over the telephone to your site, starting with "DOC002.W11". Use DXP program to transmit documents (see example). When finished, transmit "DOC001.W11" onto document number 1, overwriting it. Then return to the MAIN MENU, go to CX mode, do a (ctrl) Z, do "PIP *.W11;*/DE" to delete all WORD PROCESSING files, and sign off.
