====== XRouter Tour - Sysop's Manual ======

[[packet:xrouter:tour|Back to Tour Index Page]]

The Sysop's Manual can be accessed in 3 ways:

  - by using the MAN command
  - via the drop-down menu
  - via the HTML interface.

==== 1: The MAN Command ====

The MAN command is only available to sessions which have sysop privileges.

Typing **MAN** by itself lists all the available topics. It is a long list, so you will need to use scrollback to view it all!

The manual is organised into different sections,indicated by the numbers in the topic names. Topics without numbers are in section 1 - commands.

As with the [[help | HELP system]], you can use wildcards to restrict the display:

Typing MAN followed by the topic, e.g **MAN ID.7** displays the manual for that topic.

From the local console select **Alt-H** then either:

  * or just hit the hotkey **M**.
