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

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