Hello there,ããyesterday I was trying the Chat functionality of the BBS I regularly called andãstarted a chat with the guru for kicks. So far, so good. However, I haveãnoticed there is no clear indication about how to quit the chat once in. Thisãleads to a situation similar to the one you get when you open a Vi editor andãdon't know how to quit. You start bashing keys at random until somethingãhappens.ããI have found no documentation on the Internet either.ããSome thoughts about how to improve the situation?ãã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã

Would you tell a person you were chatting with "Exit" or "Quit"?ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããSynchronet "Real Fact" #92:ãDigital Man's manifesto from '96: http://wiki.synchro.net/history:manifestoãNorco, CA WX: 58.1øF, 47.0% humidity, 3 mph SSW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
