help datapad datamem_guide
[:: Legends Of The Jedi ::] This is the datamem tutorial. Please sub out anything within <>'s as being a variable that you enter. You can carry a number of disks on your datapad, the number depending on what your modulation is. As such, it becomes necessary to make reference to each disk by its corresponding number. Step 1: Make a new disk Command: datamem write new - This will begin a new disk and put you into a writing buffer editing the body of the message. Write whatever you would like to, and type "/s" when finished. Step 2: Set the subject field Command: datamem write <#> subject <topic> - subbing out the # and <topic>, fill out the command line with the disk number and a topic of relevance. Step 3: Decide who it's going to Command: datamem write <#> to <name> - This will put the name you specify in the `to` field of the disk. Feel free to use any name to describe the organization, group or person to whom the message is addressed. Step 4: Where is it coming from? Command: datamem write <#> from <name> - This allows the creator of the message to identify himself, his organization or an alias as the sender. If it is left blank, the real name of the poster will be used. Step 5: Review Command: datamem - This will list your datapad's inventory of disks. This is a good way to figure out what number to replace <#> with. Step 6: Ejecting Command: datamem eject <#> - Self explanatory, eject the target disk. Step 7: Loading Command: datamem load <keyword> - Put a disk into the datapad from your inventory, allowing you to see it in `datamem`. Step 8: Copying Command: datamem copy <#> or datamem copy <#> <amount of copies> - This will duplicate the message, useful for if you intend to send it to multiple recipients. All duplicate disks will be in your datapad. Step 9: Posting Command: note post or mail post - After ejecting, this will upload a held disk to either a message board or a mail terminal. Step 10: Downloading Command: datamem download <#> - Will make a link to the mail/message terminal briefly, creating a copy of the information in a new disk in your datapad. This of course requires that you are in the same room as a mail/message terminal. Use `note list` to see the list of notes on the terminal. Step 11: Editing Command: datamem write <#> - Enter a writing buffer to edit the body of the specified message. Step 12: Viewing Command: datamem view <#> - Read message on specified disk. Do remember to see the number with `datamem`. Step 13: Sharing Command: datamem send <#> - This command makes use of the datapads ability to send or receive data in a limited range (the room). Anyone using a datapad that has been put in RECIEVE mode will receive a copy of the message. Step 14: Receive mode Command: datamem receive - Toggle the receive mode of your datapad. This will stay on until a message is received. To recharge your datapad: Energize <Battery>
