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

33For an introduction to using this system, consult the document "Using
