LUBBS COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--------------------------

There are a number of options available to use with LuBBs from the main Unix 
prompt, detailed as follows:

Syntax          Function
------          --------

lubbs -8	Use 8-bit characters for accents. See the help file on accented 
		characters for more details.

lubbs -c        This checks LuBBs for any new messages that have been entered
                since you last logged on, without you having to log onto LuBBs
                itself, especially useful in say .login files, with other
                startup commands.

lubbs -h        This option will give a brief resume of all the options, in
                effect a help option.

lubbs -i	Allows you to login to LuBBs invisibly. This means that no one 
		will be able to page you and your name will not be displayed to
		other users in the users on list.

lubbs -m        Turns off external messages when logging onto LuBBs. 

lubbs -n        Outputs new messages for capture, especially useful for reading
                the messages off line or when LuBBs is busy, To output the
                messages into a file, use syntax of the form:
                lubbs -n > msgs         (where the file is msgs)
                You can optionally specify a specific conference, e.g.:
                lubbs -n talk > msgs
                
lubbs -o	Turns the LuBBs pager off so that no one can page you after you
		have logged in. It can be turned on again by the 'o' command
		in the main menu.

lubbs -p        Allows you to post an external file or mail message to LuBBs
                You can optionally put the name of a file after LuBBs -p and
                LuBBs will attempt to post directly from that file. At the
                start of this file there must be a line starting Conference:
                followed by the name of the conference to post the message in
                and a line starting Subject: containing the subject for the
                message. There can also optionally be a line starting To: and
                followed by a person you wish the message to be directed to.

lubbs -q        Logs onto LuBBs quietly without displaying how many new
                messages you have in each conference.

lubbs -w        This list the users currently on LuBBs without the need to log
                onto LuBBs, the output is the same as for the 'U'sers command
                available from within LuBBs.
