MOVING AROUND GENIE



If you want, you can use GEnie's menus to move from product to

product.  However, there are a couple of quicker (as in saving you

time and money quicker) and easier ways to get around.





USING PAGE NUMBERS



The first is with the MOVE command.  Every major menu in the GEnie

system has a page number.  To move from one page to another, use the

MOVE command with the appropriate page number.  You can use the MOVE

command whenever you are at the prompt, "Enter #, <P>revious, or

<H>elp?"  For example, to move to page 200 (which is the GE Mail

menu), you would type:



     M 200



You can even go one step more, and further detail the location you

want to move to within a menu.  To do this, you add the menu item

number after the page number (separated by a colon or semicolon).  For

example, if you wanted to move to page 200, item 9 ("GE Mail Command

Mode"), you would type:



     M 200;9



The move command can be modified by adding "S" at the end of the item

number.   This tells the system to scroll through the text without

prompting (otherwise, the display would pause each time the screen was

full and you would have to tell it to proceed).



This is useful if you are capturing the information and are not

interested in reading while its scrolling across the screen.





USING KEYWORDS



Another way to move about is by using Keywords.  Keywords are words

which can be used to move from menu to menu.  Every major menu has a

keyword centered at the top of the page.  If you look at GEnie's main,

Top Menu, you will see the keyword for that page is "TOP".  For

example, the keyword for moving to the menu for GE Mail is "MAIL".



You can use a keyword whenever you are at the prompt:



     "Enter #, <P>revious, or <H>elp?"



For example, to move to the CHAT menu, you would type:



     CHAT
