Help for /what format


There are three basic forms of /what output. Detailed output for a single 
discussion; listing output for multiple discussions or some of the special 
commands; and a special output format for "/what about".

When /what matches only a single discussion name (e.g. "/what lily"), detailed 
information on the discussion status, ownership, permission list, topics, and 
info and memo information is presented.

When /what matches multiple discussions or when "/what joined" or "/what owned" 
is requested, a multi-column listing is presented, one discussion per line. The 
columns in the listing are:

  Name:   the discussion's name; the name may be preceeded by one or more       
          indicators: '+' means the discussion has info or memos, '*' means     
          you're in the discussion, '#' means you own it                        
                                                                                
  Users:  the number of discussion members                                      
                                                                                
  Idle:   the discussion's idle time                                            
                                                                                
  Flags:  'c'onnect or 'e'mote, 'p'rivate or blank for public, 'i'nvulnerable,  
          'a'rchived, or blank, and 'm'moderated or blank                       
                                                                                
  Title:  the discussion's title                                                

"/what about" displays a columnar listing of discussions and their topics.
