Ahhh, yeah, yano, I do kinda feel silly asking for help,
while im not really helping myself, yeah im out of touch with comfortable tech like laptops and screens mice and keyboards and extra windows for
convenience,
money n xmas doesnt help get deliverys in for tech tbf, yeah
if i could go back in time i wouldnt of asked for help, id
of instead been patient and not assumed the system was at fault, cuz yeah with patience i am slowly learning, but often, i have to ask my ai all tge general command prefixs cuz theyre not all listed, seems to me that unless u know the system, then prefixed commands alot of them of predictable by ciding standards or interchangeable depending on preferences of the sysops i guess, but yeah im learning i guess slowly, n i guess aswell sometimes it is nicer to learn mysicly than be handed a guidebook, tho asking for help has been nice cuz i get to see whose is chilled out aswell i guess,

but offtopic, ive asked in other threads, but i wondered where on synchronet im allowed to post for discussion new source codes and architectures, and technically specifications and implementation details for something i want to create?

I sure hope you write better source code than you do English
"sentences"... To be honest it looks like pointless rambling from a 12

Everything relevant is usually in a help menu/screen of some type. At regular prompts, you can almost always type ? for help. In a message editor, you can almost always type /? for help. On some systems, it might be .? or some CTRL sequency, but it will usually tell you at the top of the screen or before the start of the message area.

You said you were using Termius... did you change the character set to CP437 or did you leave it on UTF-8? If you're just connecting to Synchronet, you might not notice much difference, but some things might look ugly at that setting ;). Muffinterm will solve that for you, like others said. And give you an 80x25 screen.

True enough; but were most (all?) of us capable of composing a
reasonably correct/legible sentence before doing so?
