+=== 0^ACCEPT/ANNOUNCE [0-9] <pattern>^Set an 'accept' filter line for announce
+Create an 'accept this announce' line for a filter.
+
+An accept filter line means that if the announce matches this filter it is
+passed onto the user. See HELP FILTERS for more info. Please read this
+to understand how filters work - it will save a lot of grief later on.
+
+You can use any of the following things in this line:-
+
+ info <string> eg: iota or qsl
+ by <prefixes> eg: G,M,2
+ origin <prefixes>
+ origin_dxcc <numbers> eg: 61,62 (from eg: sh/pre G)
+ origin_itu <numbers>
+ origin_zone <numbers>
+ by_dxcc <numbers>
+ by_itu <numbers>
+ by_zone <numbers>
+ channel <prefixes>
+ wx 1 filter WX announces
+ dest <prefixes> eg: 6MUK,WDX (distros)
+
+some examples:-
+
+ acc/ann dest 6MUK
+ acc/ann 2 by_zone 14,15,16
+ (this could be all on one line: acc/ann dest 6MUK or by_zone 14,15,16)
+or
+ acc/ann by G,M,2
+
+You can use the tag 'all' to accept everything eg:
+
+ acc/ann all
+
+but this probably for advanced users...
+
+=== 8^ACCEPT/ANNOUNCE <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern>^Announce filter sysop version
+This version allows a sysop to set a filter for a callsign as well as the
+default for nodes and users eg:-
+
+ accept/ann by G,M,2
+ accept/ann input node_default by G,M,2
+ accept/ann user_default by G,M,2
+
=== 0^ACCEPT/SPOTS [0-9] <pattern>^Set an 'accept' filter line for spots
Create an 'accept this spot' line for a filter.
origin <prefixes>
channel <prefixes>
+For frequencies, you can use any of the band names defined in
+SHOW/BANDS and you can use a subband name like: cw, rtty, data, ssb -
+thus: hf/ssb. You can also just have a simple range like: 0/30000 -
+this is more efficient than saying simply: freq HF (but don't get
+too hung up about that)
+
some examples:-
acc/spot 1 freq hf/cw
acc/spot 2 freq vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-You can use the tag 'all' to reject everything that is left, eg:

=== 8^ACCEPT/SPOTS <call> [input] [0-9] <pattern>^Spot filter sysop version
This version allows a sysop to set a filter for a callsign as well as the
reject/spots 1 freq/cw
reject/spots 2 freq 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
-This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in this case).
+What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't read
+any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also rejects any
+spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone in Europe.
+
+This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in this case),
+if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits '0'-'9' are
+available.
You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You can use any
number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you want it. There are things
clear/spots all
+ADVANCED USERS:-
+
+Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment.
+
+my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU can be
+written with a mixed filter, eg:
+
+ rej/spot freq hf/cw
+ acc/spot freq 0/30000
+ acc/spot 2 freq 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+
+each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept' slot. The reject
+slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.
+
+It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match, the default
+for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for 'accept'. In the example
+what happens is that the reject is executed first, any non hf/cw spot is passed
+to the accept line, which lets thru everything else on HF.
+
+The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.
