When you press Enter or Right in the arealist screen, you will
enter message reading mode. (An exception to this is if you have turned the
DirectList
switch on. See List of available
switches, for more details. In this case, you will enter the message list
mode instead). In the message reading mode, one message is displayed at a
time. You can scroll through the message, write new messages, jump to other
messages of the same message area, jump to other message areas, and invoke
numerous special functions.
All functions that are accessible from this mode have a unique name. Most functions are prebound to a reasonable keycode combination, but you can redefine the keyboard mapping by assigning other keycode combinations to these function names (see Redefining the Keyboard).
