BULLETIN lets you read and post messages on PPPL bulletin boards. There are several bulletin boards of interest to the TFTR user:
| TFTR | Machine Schedule, Access Information, |
| and Meeting Notices | |
| TFTR_SHOTS | Parameter Summary for Recent Shots |
| LOCUS | LOCUS Bulletins |
| SNAP | SNAP and SNAPIN Bulletins |
| TRANSP | TRANSP Bulletins |
$ BULLETIN
>select TFTR select the TFTR bulletin board
>set readnew to be prompted to read new
TFTR bulletins when logging in OR
>set brief to be told of new TFTR bulletins
as they are posted
>set notify to be told when there's a new message
in TFTR
If you prefer not to be prompted for TFTR messages when logging
in, then set noreadnew. If you don't want the one line
description that there are new messages in TFTR, then set
nobrief. (Repeat the settings selecting SNAP, TRANSP or
any other bulletin.) To read a new TFTR message, type:
$ BULLETIN TFTR
>read or <return>
>exit
The HELP from within BULLETIN is good (not so with $
HELP BULLETIN). BULLETIN is a lot like VMS
MAIL.
