        !            16: The home directory of \fIbboards\fR is where the BBoard system is kept.

        !            22: .br
        !            23: A BBoard is just a file containing a group of messages relating to the same
        !            24: topic.
        !            25: These files live in the ~bboards home directory.
        !            26: Each message in a BBoard file has in its header the line
        !            27: \*(lqBBoard-Id: n\*(rq,
        !            28: where \*(lqn\*(rq is an ascending decimal number.
        !            29: This id-number is unique for each message in a BBoards file.
        !            30: It should NOT be confused with the message number of a message,
        !            31: which can change as messages are removed from the BBoard.

        !            36: To read BBoards, use the \fIbbc\fR and \fImsh\fR programs.
        !            37: The \fImsh\fR command is a monolithic program which contains all the
        !            38: functionality of \fIMH\fR in a single program.
        !            39: The `\-check' switch to \fIbbc\fR lets you check on the status of BBoards,
        !            40: and the `\-read' switch tells \fIbbc\fR to invoke \fImsh\fR to read
        !            41: those BBoards.
