While External is running and not delivering mail, press the F1 key. The
following Help screen will be displayed:

                  main screen. Returns to main screen from secondary
                  screens.

The Dispatch Mail Postoffice Status and External Mail Postoffice Status screens
display all the mail at each postoffice. The UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys cycle
through the Mail display. The PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys cycle through all the
postoffices that are included while the External Mail program is running. For
each postoffice, the type of connection and the status of the postoffice is also
displayed.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The information displayed by the Dispatch Mail Postoffice Status (F2) and
External Mail Postoffice Status (F3) screens comes directly from the
conventional memory used by the External Mail program.

The routing tables stored in memory are compiled from the MASTER.GLB,
ACCESS2.GLB, GROUP.GLB, NETWORK.GLB, and all the .XTN files stored on the home
postoffice. By default, routing tables are updated every 30 minutes.

Additional query words: 3.20 3.50
