BBS Help.txt

CUSTOM BPQ32 BBS Help Text

To add a help file for users of the BBS, versions of BPQ32/LinBPQ sometime after 6.0.23.60 support a new ‘HELP’ command that provisions the user with the contents of help.txt located in the root directory of the BPQ32/LinBPQ installation.

Make sure to set appropriate read permissions on the file (chmod 644 help.txt)

Note: This overrides the default built-in help text, once set- help.txt will overwrite the contents of memory containing the text. If you want to restore the original help text, delete help.txt and restart the BBS.
