| 16 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 17 | .I Discuss |
|---|
| 18 | is a user-interface program to a networked conferencing system. It |
|---|
| 19 | provides the concept of "meetings", which a user may attend. Users |
|---|
| 20 | may post "transactions" (short pieces of text) which may be read out |
|---|
| 21 | of the meeting. The |
|---|
| 22 | .I Discuss |
|---|
| 23 | user interface is heavily influenced by the Multics |
|---|
| 24 | .I Forum |
|---|
| 25 | conferencing system. |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | The commands accepted may be listed by using the "?" command once in |
|---|
| 28 | discuss. There is also a "help" command which provides help on a |
|---|
| 29 | command once inside the program. |
|---|
| 30 | Type "help commandname" to get information on using a command. |
|---|
| 31 | The "quit" command exits discuss. |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | For an introduction to using this system, consult the document "Using |
|---|
| 34 | Discuss", available from the SIPB. |
