Next, you see the first screen used to laser a letter. At the File to be lasered prompt, enter the name of your letter.

Next, a message tells you that your letter is being submitted to the laser printer. You hear a "beep" when the laser has finished printing, and the message, ". . . .Job LASERBAT (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 63) completed," appears:

13.5 VMS MAIL FACILITY

The MAIL category allows you to send and receive electronic mail messages. If you send a mail message to someone, a message appears on the recipient's screen informing them of a mail message.

13.5.1 SENDING MAIL

To SEND a mail message, choose the MAIL item. You then see the following prompt:



 
  MAIL> 
 

At this prompt, type in SEND.

Enter the name of the person to whom you want to send a message and enter your name, e.g.:


        To: Don 
        From: Linda 
 

When you have finished entering your message, press [GOLD/F], and your mail message will be immediately sent.

To exit from MAIL, enter EXIT at the menu prompt. The Master Menu then reappears.

To read mail, at the MAIL Prompt, type in READ. Your message(s) will appear. When you have finished reading your mail message(s), enter EXIT. The Master Menu then reappears.

13.6 REMIND Notes

Reminders are useful when you want to tell yourself to follow through on a certain item on a particular date. If you check your reminder file daily, you can easily remember vital items. This is equivalent to an office "tickler" file or calendar.

Example:

Suppose you want to follow through on a call to Ellen Jensen at XYZ LABS. You know that a certain date is a good time to reach her and you want to be certain to call on that date.

To remind yourself to call her, at the Master Menu Item prompt, enter REM:
