MemoServ

DEL

Command syntax:

/memoserv DEL <memo number>

/memoserv DEL ALL

Command description

The DEL command works in as much the same way as the

READ command. It will delete the selected memos from

the list. However, the deleted memos will have a status

"marked as deleted" until the user:

(a) quits the network;

In other words, the deleted memos will not

disappear until the user quits the current IRC

session.

(b) changes to different nick; or

The user can choose to delete all the memos by using the

ALL switch. The ALL switch will mark all memos as deleted

and will PURGE them at the same time.

Command examples

1) If the user has 8 memos in the list and he/she wishes

to delete the 5th memo, he/she would type the

following command:

/memoserv DEL 5

2) If the user wishes to delete the more than one memo

at one time, for example, deleting memos Nos. 3,7,8

with just one line command, he/she would type the

following command:

/memoserv DEL 3,7,8

Note: This command will mark the selected memos as

"deleted" but not purged until the users stop

using current nick or the PURGE command is

used.

3) If the user wishes to delete and PURGE all the memos

at the same time, he/she would type the following

command:

/memoserv DEL ALL

Note: This command will delete and PURGE everything

and users cannot access purged memos.

Special requirements

The user must be using the registered nick at the time

he/she uses the command and that only memos for the

current nick can be deleted.

Comments

The ALL switch should be used with caution since it will

delete and purge memos at the same time. Purged

memos cannot be undeleted nor retrieved.

The user is only able to manage listed memos. Since

only the first 20 memos are listed out of a maximum of

50 memos, the user will have to delete some of the

viewed memos in order to access memos that are not

listed.
