## The Main Menu

The Main Menu is generally the common nexus of your system. All other BBS functions are generally reached from here.

The Main menu is a general-purpose menu, in that it uses DLG:Menu to drive it.

The following functions are examples taken from the default menus that you received with the package. The example menu pictured is slightly different.

Key | Function | Description
M | Message Bases | This takes the user to the Message Base browser.
F | File Libraries | This takes the user to the File Base browser.
L | Leave Feedback | This function calls the DLG program SendMsg, enabling the user to write a message to the sysop without actually entering the message bases. The example menu assumes that a group account called SYSOP actually exists, and that you are part of that group account. Otherwise you will have to reconfigure this menu entry.
C | Chat with Sysop | This function calls the DLG batch file Chat.DLGBatch, which in turn calls the DLG program CHAT. This causes a requester to pop up on the WorkBench screen, requesting that you chat with the user. The chat session is a real-time one-on-one messaging session.
E | Edit User Settings | This allows users to edit their settings, or preferences, to suit their needs.
S | Sysop Menu | This function is generally only available to the sysop, and invokes the Sysop Editor menu.
P | Play Games | An example of a sub-menu. While the menu appears to have many games set up for it, those games were not shipped as a part of DLG. It is an example only, and as such it came preconfigured to only allow sysop (level 255) access.
G | Goodbye | This will log the user off
H | Help | Brings up a help menu selection screen. From there, the user can select what command he or she wishes help with.
? | Display Menu | Often this is a hidden menu selection. It is most useful if line noise "corrupts" the menu, or if the user is using Intermediate or Expert menu mode.
