It does this through the SMS +system. +.PP +When started, it will display a menu with the following options: +.in +5 +.nf +1. Show all mailing lists. +2. Get all members of a mailing list. +3. Display lists of which you are a member. +4. Show description of list. +5. Add yourself to a mailing list. +6. Delete yourself from a mailing list. +.in -5 +.fi +.PP +The first option will display all mailing lists which are not +explicitly hidden. The second option will display the members of a +named list. The third will display the names of the lists you belong +to. The next option will give a description of any list that you +name. +.PP +The next two options allow you to add or delete yourself to or from +public mailing lists. If the person creating a mailing list has not +made it public, you will not be allowed to change it. Even if it is +public, you can only add or delete yourself, you cannot affect the +others on the list. For other list operations (which are only allowed +to the administrators of a list), see +.I listmaint(1). +.SH MENU OPERATION +Each of the menus presented works in the same way: A list of possible +choices is presented, each preceded by a number. The title of the +function is displayed at the top of the screen, centered, and the +current choice is highlighted. To make a choice, press the number of +the choice, which will then be highlighted. To confirm this +choice, press the return key. +.PP +There will usually be a +.I Quit +option and a +.I Return to previous level +option available in each menu. The exception to this is during mailing +list creation; a type for the list must be selected from a menu. +Typing the interrupt character (normally CTRL-C) or the return key +during a database access or while being prompted for a menu +selection will act the same as a +.I Quit. +Typing the interrupt character +during a text input will cancel the operation and return to +the most recent menu. +.PP +If information is needed that cannot be entered via a menu (e.g. a +description of the mailing list's purpose and/or use), the user will be +prompted for such information. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP +KRBTKFILE +path name of your Kerberos ticket. SMS decides who you are and what you +can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. +.TP +TERMCAP +information about the capabilities of the terminal and how to use them. +.SH SEE ALSO +listmaint(1) +.SH AUTHOR +Peter J.
