`EMAIL.SYSTEM` uses single character commands for most functions. Commands that involve invoking other helper applications use either the `Open Apple` or `Closed Apple` key as a modifier. The `Open Apple` key modifier is used for invoking helper applications that handle email, while the `Closed Apple` key is used for operations related to Usenet news.

### Sending of Email Messages
The EMAIL system currently includes a basic screen editor for message composition. This editor is currently under development and may be a little rough. It is also possible to use an external editor of your choice for composing emails. The advantage to this is you can choose whichever editor you prefer, provided it can handle plain Apple II text files. I find the editor which is built into the Proterm 3.1 communications program to be quite satisfactory for this purpose.

## `REBUILD.SYSTEM`
REBUILD is a utility for converting a folder of email messages (text files named `EMAIL.nnn` where `nnn` is an integer) into a mailbox. It will erase any existing `EMAIL.DB` and `NEXT.EMAIL` files, parse the message files and create new `EMAIL.DB` and `NEXT.EMAIL` files. This tool may be used for bulk import of messages or for recreating the `EMAIL.DB` file for a mailbox which has become corrupted.

REBUILD simply prompts for the path of the directory to process.
If you use this tool for bulk import, be sure that all the `EMAIL.nnn` files are in Apple II text format with carriage return line endings (not MS-DOS or UNIX style.)
