15.SH DESCRIPTION
16.I Discuss
17is a user-interface program to a networked conferencing system.  It
18provides the concept of "meetings", which a user may attend.  Users
19may post "transactions" (short pieces of text) which may be read out
20of the meeting.  The
21.I Discuss
22user interface is heavily influenced by the Multics
23.I Forum
24conferencing system.

26The commands accepted may be listed by using the "?" command once in
27discuss.  There is also a "help" command which provides help on a
28command once inside the program. 
29Type "help commandname" to get information on using a command.
30The "quit" command exits discuss.
