<P><B>Q.</B>These commands seem very long! Can I shorten them?
<P><B>A.</B>Of course you can and the usual abbreviations work. If you
are unsure, try it.
<P><B>Q.</B>I am not sure if this command is correct. Can I cause any
harm if I try it?
<P><B>A.</B>Do not be afraid to try a command to see if it will work,
at the worst you will get an error message. If you require any
help on a command, just type help followed by the command you
want help on. Look at the "DXSpider Command Reference" section to see
what help can be found.
<P><B>Q.</B>How should I use the announce command?
<P><B>A.</B>With respect. Use the command by all means, but please
only use the "full" extension if absolutely necessary. It can
create a LOT of messages passing between clusters.
<P><B>Q.</B>I like to be working in the shack while logged into the
cluster but I can't be looking at the screen all the time. How
can I be alerted when anything happens?
<P><B>A.</B>Use the <B>SET/BEEP</B> command. You can find information
on this in the "DXSpider Command Reference" section.
<P><B>Q.</B>I got disconnected from the cluster and now I can't log
back in again. What is wrong?
<P><B>A.</B>Probably the cluster thinks you are still logged on and
will not let you reconnect using the same call to prevent loops.
Try logging on again adding an ssid to your callsign as DXSpider
treats G0YLM and G0YLM-1 as different users.
<P><B>Q.</B>How do I know if I have got the latest version of this
user manual?
<P><B>A.</B>The latest and greatest will always be on the Website. It will
also be included with every release of DXSpider. As always, if unsure,
ask your sysop what version number is the latest.
