+=== 9^EXPORT_USERS [<filename>]^Export the users database to ascii
+Export the users database to a file in ascii format. If no filename
+is given then it will export the file to /spider/data/user_asc.
+
+If the file already exists it will be renamed to <filename>.o. In fact
+up to 5 generations of the file can be kept each one with an extra 'o' on the
+suffix.
+
+BE WARNED: this will write to any file you have write access to. No check is
+made on the filename (if any) that you specify.
=== 1^FORWARD/OPERNAME <call>^Send out information on this <call> to all clusters
This command sends out any information held in the user file which can

+=== 5^SET/ARCLUSTER <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an AR-Cluster node

+=== 0^SET/DXGRID^Allow Grid Squares on the end of DX announcements
+=== 0^UNSET/DXGRID^Stop Grid Squares on the end of DX announcements
+A standard feature which is enabled in version 1.43 and above is
+that if the spotter's grid square is known it is output on the end
+of a DX announcement (there is just enough room). Some user programs
+cannot cope with this. You can use this command to reset (or set)
+this feature.

+=== 5^SET/DXNET <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an DXNet node
+
=== 0^SET/ECHO^Make the cluster echo your input

-=== 9^SET/NODE <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an AK1A cluster
+=== 5^SET/NODE <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an AK1A cluster
Tell the system that the call(s) are to be treated as AK1A cluster and

-=== 9^SET/OBSCOUNT <count> <nodecall>^Set the 'pump-up' obscelence counter
+=== 8^SET/OBSCOUNT <count> <nodecall>^Set the 'pump-up' obscelence counter
From 1.35 onwards neighbouring nodes are pinged at regular intervals (see
SET/PINGINTERVAL), usually 300 seconds or 5 minutes. There is a 'pump-up'
counter which is decremented on every outgoing ping and then reset to
spaces - but they won't appear in the password). You can see the
result with STAT/USER.

+=== 5^SET/SPIDER <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an DXSpider node
Tell the system that the call(s) are to be treated as DXSpider node and
fed new style DX Protocol rather normal user commands.

case sensitive.
-=== 0^TALK <call> <text>^Send a text message to another station
-=== 0^TALK <call> > <node> <text>^Send a text message to another station via a node
+=== 0^TALK <call> [<text>]^Send a text message to another station
+=== 0^TALK <call> > <node> [<text>]^Send a text message to another station via a node
Send a short message to any other station that is visible on the cluster

see GB7TLH in the SH/C list but with no users, then you would use the
second form of the talk message.
+If you want to have a ragchew with someone you can leave the text message
+out and the system will go into 'Talk' mode. What this means is that a
+short message is sent to the recipient telling them that you are in a
+'Talking' frame of mind and then you just type - everything you send will
+go to the station that you asked for.
+
+All the usual announcements, spots and so on will still come out on your
+terminal.
+
+If you want to do something (such as send a spot) you preceed the normal
+command with a '/' character, eg:-
+
+ /DX 14001 G1TLH What's a B class licensee doing on 20m CW?
+ /HELP talk
+
+To leave talk mode type:
