use the script in /spider/connect/<callsign> to effect the 'chat' exchange
necessary to traverse the network(s) to logon to the cluster <callsign>.
+=== 9^CATCH <node call> All|[<msgno> ...]^Mark a message as sent
+=== 9^UNCATCH <node call> All|[msgno> ...]^Unmark a message as sent
+When you send messages the fact that you have forwarded it to another node
+is remembered so that it isn't sent again. When you have a new partner
+node and you add their callsign to your /spider/msg/forward.pl file, all
+outstanding non-private messages will be forwarded to them. This may well
+be ALL the non-private messages. You can prevent this by using these
+commmands:-
+
+ catch GB7DJK all
+ catch GB7DJK 300 301 302 303
+
+and to undo what you have just done:-
+
+ uncatch GB7DJK all
+ uncatch GB7DJK 300 301 302 303
+
+which will arrange for them to be forward candidates again.

=== 9^DEBUG^Set the cluster program into debug mode
Executing this command will only have an effect if you are running the cluster
in debug mode i.e.
=== 8^DISCONNECT <call> [<call> ...]^Disconnect a user or cluster
Disconnect any <call> connected locally
-=== 0^DX <freq> <callsign> <remarks>^Send a DX spot throughout the cluster
-<freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the cluster.
-see show/bands for more information.
+=== 0^DX [BY <call>] <freq> <call> <remarks>^Send a DX spot
+This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, now
+enter the <freq> and the <call> either way round.
+
+ DX FR0G 144.600
+ DX 144.600 FR0G
+ DX 144600 FR0G
+
+will all give the same result. You can add some remarks to the end
+of the command and they will be added to the spot.
+
+ DX FR0G 144600 this is a test
+
+You can credit someone else by saying:-
+
+ DX by G1TLH FR0G 144.600 he isn't on the cluster
+
+The <freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the
+cluster. See SHOW/BANDS for more information.
=== 1^FORWARD/OPERNAME <call>^Send out information on this <call> to all clusters
This command sends out any information held in the user file which can
Reload the /spider/data/prefix_data.pl file if you have changed it manually whilst
the cluster is running.
+=== 5^MERGE <node> [<no spots>/<no wwv>]^Ask for the latest spots and WWV
+MERGE allows you to bring your spot and wwv database up to date. By default
+it will request the last 10 spots and 5 WWVs from the node you select. The
+node must be connected locally.
+
+You can request any number of spots or wwv and although they will be appended
+to your databases they will not duplicate any that have recently been added
+(the last 2 days for spots and last month for WWV data).
+
+=== 9^MSG <cmd> <msgno> [data ... ]^Alter various message parameters
+Alter message parameters like To, From, Subject, whether private or bulletin
+or return receipt (RR) is required or whether to keep this message from timing
+out.
+
+ MSG TO <msgno> <call> - change TO callsign to <call>
+ MSG FRom <msgno> <call> - change FROM callsign to <call>
+ MSG PRrivate <msgno> - set private flag
+ MSG NOPRrivate <msgno> - unset private flag
+ MSG RR <msgno> - set RR flag
+ MSG NORR <msgno> - unset RR flag
+ MSG KEep <msgno> - set the keep flag (message won't be deleted ever)
+ MSG NOKEep <msgno> - unset the keep flag
+ MSG SUbject <msgno> <new> - change the subject to <new>
+ MSG WAittime <msgno> - remove any waitting time for this message
+ MSG QUeue - queue any outstanding bulletins
+ MSG QUeue 1 - queue any outstanding private messages
+
+You can look at the status of a message by using:-
+
+ STAT/MSG <msgno>
+
+This will display more information on the message than DIR does.
+
=== 8^PC <call> <text>^Send text (eg PC Protocol) to <call>
Send some arbitrary text to a locally connected callsign. No processing is done on
the text. This command allows you to send PC Protocol to unstick things if problems
You can get rid of any message to or originating from your callsign using
this command. You can remove more than one message at a time.
-=== 5^KILL-^
-As a sysop you can kill any message on the system.
-
-=== 5^MERGE <node> [<no spots>/<no wwv>]^Ask for the latest spots and WWV
-MERGE allows you to bring your spot and wwv database up to date. By default
-it will request the last 10 spots and 5 WWVs from the node you select. The
-node must be connected locally.
+=== 5^KILL <from>-<to>^Remove a range of messages from the system
+=== 5^KILL FROM <call>^Remove all messages from a callsign
+=== 5^KILL TO <call>^Remove all messages to a callsign
+=== 5^KILL FULL <msgno> [<msgno]^Remove a message from the entire cluster
+Remove this message from the entire cluster system as well as your node.
-You can request any number of spots or wwv and although they will be appended
-to your databases they will not duplicate any that have recently been added
-(the last 2 days for spots and last month for WWV data).
+=== 5^KILL^
+As a sysop you can kill any message on the system.
=== 8^PC <call> <text>^Send arbitrary text to a connected callsign
Send any text you like to the callsign requested. This is used mainly to send
info <text> - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
-spotter <call> - any spots spotted by <call>
+by <call> - any spots spotted by <call> (spotter <call> is the
+ same).
+
+qsl - this automatically looks for any qsl info on the call
+ held in the spot database.
+
+iota [<iota>] - If the iota island number is missing it will look for
+ the string iota and anything which looks like an iota
+ island number. If you specify then it will look for
+ that island.
+
+qra [<locator>] - this will look for the specific locator if you specify
+ one or else anything that looks like a locator.
e.g.
SH/DX 9m0
SH/DX on 20m info iota
SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30
+ SH/DX rf1p qsl
+ SH/DX iota
+ SH/DX iota eu-064
+ SH/DX qra jn86
=== 0^SHOW/DXCC <prefix>^Interrogate the spot database by country
This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial
See also SHOW/FILES to see what fileareas are available and a
list of content.
+=== 0^WHO^Show who is physically connected
+This is a quick listing that shows which callsigns are connected and
+what sort of connection they have
+
=== 0^WX <text>^Send a weather message to local users
=== 0^WX FULL <text>^Send a weather message to all cluster users
=== 5^WX SYSOP <text>^Send a weather message to other clusters only
