This program displays bulletins of general interest.  You may  get  information
on  how to use it by typing "HELP BULLETIN".  When you log in, the program will
print messages you have not yet read (unless you ask  for  old  messages).   It
will  also  tell  you  when  new messages have been added on possible topics of
interest, but you must specifically ask to read these messages.  You  may  wish
to  put  "BULL/SUBJECT=subject"  in  your  login.com file for those subjects in
which you are interested.  Those subjects on which there are bulletins  can  be
listed by typing "BULL/DIRECTORY".

At the end of each message (as below), the program will  allow  you  to  select
various  options.   Typing "Go" will cause all messages to be displayed without
further interruption (except at the bottom of the screen).  Typing "Quit"  will
discontinue  the  bulletins, but they will all be typed again the next time you
login (or ask for bulletins).  Typing "File" will save the preceding message in
a  file  named  "AAASYSBUL.BUL" or "subject.BUL" on your login directory, while
typing "Print" will print the bulletin.  A carriage return will proceed to  the
next message.

                                  *** NOTE ***

Do not delete  your  file  SYS$LOGIN:SYSBULL.DAT!  This  file  remembers  which
bulletins  you  have  read  and  not  read.  Deleting it will cause BULLETIN to
recreate it next time, and assume you have read no bulletins!
