I hadn't realised that bbs was the default shell. I've recommended that
people answer 'csh' to the question about the preferred shell. I can see
folks who know it choosing bash, though.

So is it better or worse to have left the engine running with the doors
unlocked? I did that once for about four hours, in a busy parking lot at a
folk dance event. Fortunately, folk dancers seem to be honest people, and
I had a full tank of gas when I started, so I didn't get my car stolen or run
the battery down, but jeeeez did I feel dumb.

(I thought "menu" was the default, although it pribly runs over "bbs"
[which isn't actually a shell either].)

In web newuser the default shell is 'menu'. At least that's the checkbox
that is prechecked for you. The default editor is 'pico'.
The non-web newuser probably has different defaults. It certainly used
to be 'bbs' and I suppose it might still be.

A quick shell shows this to be true. Shouldn't that be changed?

Why? People coming in via telnet are much less likely to be members of
the point & click generation.

If they know enough to use a shell, they should know enough to choose one.
If they don't know enough to choose something other than "bbs", it'll work
until they learn how to change it.

/d is 97% full; there is a complaint from party that there are lots
of psybnc and eggdrops in it. I'm just passing along the party report.

I think menu is the most self explanatory. BBS tends not to be very intuitive.
And you do need basic UNIX knowledge for the other shells

find "string" <item range>
the 'string' has to be in quotes. For example:
find "tod" all

Hmmm...when I type 'help find' it says:
==============================================================================
Fronttalk Command: FIND
Usage: FIND "pattern" (login) <item range>
Search items in the current conference. The item range is used to select
a subset of the conferences to search. The default is ALL at the Ok
prompt, or just the current item at the "Respond or pass" prompt. For a
full description of item ranges, do "HELP RANGE".
Quoted and parenthesized strings have a different meaning for FIND than
the do for other commmands. Quoted strings are a pattern to search the
items for. Parenthesized strings restrict the search to items and responses
by that author.
Here are some common examples:
FIND "potatos" - Find all mentions of the word "potatos"
FIND "cats" 1-3 - Find all mentions of cats in items 1 through 3
FIND "peas" (joe,mike) - Find all places where joe or mike mentioned "peas"
FIND (harry) - Find all items and responses posted by harry
The formatting of the Find output is controlled by the FSEP and FTSEP defines.
See "HELP DEFINE FSEP" for more information.
==============================================================================
which is a little more helpful than the Picospan version:
========================================================
**** FIND ****
find <items> "string"
Find will look through all the matching items and
print out the lines that match string. Note that
find currently only looks through response text, it
ignores headers, authors and anything else not text.
See "help separators" for details on "fsep" if you want
to change the format Find types things out in.
========================================================
However, Picospan is noticably less buggy and a lot faster than Fronttalk.

Two things: Is anyone else having problems with SSH Secure Shell 3.2.3
and connecting to Grex? IS there some setting I'm missing? After I upgraded
to 3.2.3 it exits with an error, so I'm using PuTTY now.
It would be really nice to be able to type "r 4.197" and the item would start
reading from response 197...

Make sure you've set it to allow SSH version 1 connections. Some
software may be defaulting to 2 only because of some security issues with 1.
I've never used Secure Shell, so I'm just guessing here.
You can get pretty much the effect you're looking for by typing "r 4"
and then hitting "/#197" in your pager. That is, assuming you're using
more or less as your pager.
