Enter a short (up to 27 character) description of the subject of the<br />
message. The MailDrop will then send the message prompt:<br />
"Enter message, ^Z (CTRL-Z) or /EX to end"<br />
After entering the message there are two ways to end the message.<br />
Either the may be entered followed by a carriage return, or<br />
the 3 characters "/EX" and a carriage-return on a line by itself will<br />
end the message being sent. After this the MailDrop prompt should<br />

"*** No free memory", this means that the message was too large for<br />
the available MailDrop memory and has been deleted. If this occurs,<br />
you must shorten the message to fit into available memory shown in the<br />
MailDrop prompt, and re-send the message.<br />

SYSOP) a message, the STA light starts blinking to show that a message<br />
has been left for you. When you log on to your MailDrop with the<br />
MDCHECK command the STA LED will stop blinking.<br />

Private, Traffic or a Bulletin. A "P," "T" or "B" after the message<br />
number shows the status of every message. A user sets this with the<br />
SP, ST and SB forms of the Send command. The SYSOP may set this with<br />
the Edit (E) command described above. If only S is used as the Send<br />
command, the MailDrop will assign the message a Private (P) status.<br />
