     Note: The information in this guide was taken from A Moderator's
     Guide to ECHOBASE (c) Dana Bell, and customized by the ListKeeper.
     This file may be designated as the file to be sent in response to
     fatal errors and requests for HELP.

     EList v4 is a database program that maintains a database of
     echomail conference information.  This particular program was
     written to meet the need to maintain and distribute echomail
     conference lists within FIDONet.

     The FIDONet echolists published by this program include
     ELIST.NA, a short, areafix uplink file format distributed
     monthly and ELIST.RPT, a longer descriptive file distributed on
     a monthly basis.

     Moderators may add or update entries to the list by writing to
     ECHOLIST (or ELIST).  The program will read the message and
     update the EList database, then post a reply to the ELIST
     conference and optionally via Email (Note: the Reply-to keyword
     overrides the FROM Email if present).

     Updates via Email are also available via echolist@filegate.net

     A sample message might have this in the text

     TAG ECHOES
     TITLE FIDONet echoes discussion
     MOD Joe Sysop, 1:393/68
     DESC Discussions about echoes
     DESC and moderators
     GROUP FIDO
     ---

     The keywords are truncated prior to checking, so matching will
     only be done for the capitalized portion of the keyword.
     Keywords may be capitalized or lowercase.  The following three
     entries will have the same effect.

     TAG   BOARD_GAMES
     Tagname BOARD_GAMES
     tag   BOARD_GAMES

     Optionally end the message with three-dashes indicating the end of
     the message.  With the exception of the DESCription and RULEs fields,
     only one entry is allowed per field.  If multiple entries are included
     in the message, processing will continue but only the last one
     will be saved.  If you don't have an entry for a field, there is
     no need to include the keyword (specifying JUST the keyword will
     erase/blank any existing value(s).  Only the areatag and password
     is necessary for updating.

     Update submissions to the echolist that don't require any changes
     may be done by including just the areatag, and PASSword.
     Full details already in the database will remain the same.  New
     listings will require areatag, title, moderator and password.

     In order to delete an area from the list, you should use
     the subject MODerator DELete (or MOD DEL).

     When submitting an entry with DESC or RULES fields, be sure to begin
     each line with DESC or RULES and end it with a hard carriage return.

     (Some editors may word wrap all messages and strip carriage returns
     when saving.  Some of these editors, however, may allow you to
     force carriage returns by indenting.)

     NOTE: blank lines after DESC or RULES keywords will RESET everything
     to null, as with all text based keywords.


        Address any questions to Ben Ritchey at 1:1/21, 1:393/68, the
        ECHOLIST echo itself or via Email to <fido4cmech@lusfiber.net>.
