+
+=== 5^KILL FULL <msgno> [<msgno..]^Delete a message from the whole cluster
+Delete a message (usually a 'bulletin') from the whole cluster system.
+
+This uses the subject field, so any messages that have exactly the same subject
+will be deleted. Beware!
+
+=== 9^LOAD/ALIASES^Reload the command alias table
+Reload the /spider/cmd/Aliases file after you have editted it. You will need to
+do this if you change this file whilst the cluster is running in order for the
+changes to take effect.
+
+=== 9^LOAD/BANDS^Reload the band limits table
+Reload the /spider/data/bands.pl file if you have changed it manually whilst
+the cluster is running.
+
+=== 9^LOAD/CMD_CACHE^Reload the automatic command cache
+Normally, if you change a command file in the cmd or local_cmd tree it will
+automatially be picked up by the cluster program. Sometimes it can get confused
+if you are doing a lot of moving commands about or delete a command in the
+local_cmd tree and want to use the normal one again. Execute this command to
+reset everything back to the state it was just after a cluster restart.
+

+or
+ pc G1TLH Try doing that properly!!!
+
+=== 1^PING <node>^Send a ping command to another cluster

+The time returned is the length of time taken for a PC51 to go to another
+cluster and be returned.
=== 0^KILL <msgno> [<msgno> ...]^Remove or erase a message from the system

+=== 5^MERGE <node> [<no spots>/<no wwv>]^Ask for the latest spots and WWV
+MERGE allows you to bring your spot and wwv database up to date. By default
+it will request the last 10 spots and 5 WWVs from the node you select. The
+node must be connected locally.
+
+You can request any number of spots or wwv and although they will be appended
+to your databases they will not duplicate any that have recently been added
+(the last 2 days for spots and last month for WWV data).
+
+=== 8^PC <call> <text>^Send arbitrary text to a connected callsign
+Send any text you like to the callsign requested. This is used mainly to send
+PC protocol to connected nodes either for testing or to unstick things.
+
+You can also use in the same way as a talk command to a connected user but
+without any processing, added of "from <blah> to <blah" or whatever.
+
=== 1^PING <node call>^Find out the delays an a circuit to another node

+
+=== 9^SET/PASSWORD <callsign> <string>^Set a users password
+The password for a user can only be set by a full sysop. The string
+can contain any characters but any spaces are removed (you can type in

+Only the fields that are defined (in perl term) will be displayed.
+
+=== 0^SYSOP^Regain your privileges if you login remotely
+The system automatically reduces your privilege level to that of a
+normal user if you login in remotely. This command allows you to
+regain your normal privilege level. It uses the normal system: five
+numbers are returned that are indexes into the character array that is
+your assigned password (see SET/PASSWORD). The indexes start from
+zero.
+
+You are expected to return a string which contains the characters
+required in the correct order. You may intersperse those characters
+with others to obscure your reply for any watchers. For example (and
+these values are for explanation :-):

+the user information usually associated with logging on and off the cluster.
-If you know that G3JNB is likly to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only
+If you know that G3JNB is likely to be present on GB7TLH, but you can only

second form of the talk message.
+=== 0^TYPE <filearea>/<name>^Look at the contents of a file in one of the fileareas
+Type out the contents of a file in a filearea. So, for example, in
+filearea 'bulletins' you want to look at file 'arld051' you would
