Order is not important.
+=== 0^CHAT <group> <text>^Chat or Conference to a group
+It is now possible to JOIN a group and have network wide conferencing to that
+group. DXSpider does not (and probably will not) implement the AK1A
+conference mode as this seems very limiting, is hardly used and doesn't seem
+to work too well anyway.
+
+This system uses the existing ANN system and is compatible with both other
+DXSpider nodes and AK1A clusters (they use ANN/<group>).
+
+You can be a member of as many "groups" as you want. To join a group type:-
+
+ JOIN FOC (where FOC is the group name)
+
+To leave a group type:-
+
+ LEAVE FOC
+
+You can see which groups you are in by typing:-
+
+ STAT/USER
+
+and you can see whether your mate is in the group, if he connects to the
+same node as you, by typing:-
+
+ STAT/USER g1tlh
+
+To send a message to a group type:-
+
+ CHAT FOC hello everyone
+
+or
+
+ CH #9000 hello I am back
+

=== 0^CLEAR/ANNOUNCE [1|all]^Clear a announce filter line
This command allows you to clear (remove) a line in a annouce filter or to
remove the whole filter.
=== 9^DBCREATE <name>^Create a database entry
=== 9^DBCREATE <name> chain <name> [<name>..]^Create a chained database entry
=== 9^DBCREATE <name> remote <node>^Create a remote database entry
+=== 9^DBCREATE <name> cmd <dxspider command>^make a local command available as a DB
DBCREATE allows you to define a database in the system. It doesn't actually
create anything, just defines it.
to work as they may be used to.
+You can also make local commands available as 'pseudo' databases. You
+can therefore make spider special commands available as a database. I
+imagine that this will be primarily useful for remote access from
+legacy nodes. For example:-
+
+ DBCREATE dxqsl cmd show/dxqsl
+
+You also use one of these databases in a chain. This may be useful
+locally.
+
See DBIMPORT for the importing of existing AK1A format data to databases.
See DBSHOW for generic database enquiry
effects. Commands are run at the privilege of the user which is being
demonstrated to.
+=== 0^JOIN <group>^Join a chat or conference group
+JOIN allows you to join a network wide conference group. To join a
+group (called FOC in this case) type:-
+
+ JOIN FOC
+
+See also CHAT, LEAVE, SHOW/CHAT
+
=== 0^KILL <msgno> [<msgno..]^Delete a message from the local system
=== 0^KILL <from msgno>-<to msgno>^Delete a range of messages
=== 0^KILL from <regex>^Delete messages FROM a callsign or pattern
It otherwise is used in the same way as the KILL command.
+=== 0^LEAVE <group>^Leave a chat or conference group
+LEAVE allows you to leave a network wide conference group. To leave a
+group (called FOC in this case) type:-
+
+ LEAVE FOC
+
+See also CHAT, JOIN, SHOW/CHAT

=== 0^LINKS^Show which nodes is physically connected
This is a quick listing that shows which links are connected and
some information about them. See WHO for a list of all connections.

-the languages available are en (English), de (German), es (Spanish)

for more information.
+=== 0^SHOW/CHAT [<group>] [<lines>]^Show any chat or conferencing
+This command allows you to see any chat or conferencing that has
+occurred whilst you were away. SHOW/CHAT on its own will show data for
+all groups. If you use a group name then it will show only chat for
+that group.
+
=== 0^SHOW/CONFIGURATION [<node>]^Show all the nodes and users visible
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen
and the nodes to which they are connected.
This command shows information on all the active connections known to
the node. This command gives slightly more information than WHO.
+=== 0^SHOW/CONTEST <year and month>^Show all the contests for a month
+Show all known contests which are maintained at http://www.sk3bg.se/contest/
+for a particular month or year. The format is reasonably flexible.
+For example:-
+
+ SH/CONTEST sep2003
+ SH/CONTEST 03 march
+
=== 0^SHOW/DATE [<prefix>|<callsign>]^Show the local time
This is very nearly the same as SHOW/TIME, the only difference the format
of the date string if no arguments are given.
You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so
eg by W dxcc
-
+
+ real or rt - Format the output the same as for real time spots. The
+ formats are deliberately different (so you can tell
+ one sort from the other). This is useful for some
+ logging programs that can't cope with normal sh/dx
+ output. An alias of SHOW/FDX is available.
+
+ filter - Filter the spots, before output, with the user's
+ spot filter. An alias of SHOW/MYDX is available.
+
+ zone <zones> - look for spots in the cq zone (or zones) specified.
+ zones are numbers separated by commas.
+
+ by_zone <zones> - look for spots spotted by people in the cq zone
+ specified.
+
+ itu <itus> - look for spots in the itu zone (or zones) specified
+ itu zones are numbers separated by commas.
+
+ by_itu <itus> - look for spots spotted by people in the itu zone
+ specified.
+
+ state <list> - look for spots in the US state (or states) specified
+ The list is two letter state codes separated by commas.
+
+ by_state <list> - look for spots spotted by people in the US state
+ specified.
+
e.g.
SH/DX 9m0
SH/DX qra jn86
SH/DX dxcc oq2
SH/DX dxcc oq2 by w dxcc
+ SH/DX zone 4,5,6
+ SH/DX by_zone 4,5,6
+ SH/DX state in,oh
+ SH/DX by_state in,oh
=== 0^SHOW/DXCC <prefix>^Interrogate the spot database by country
This command takes the <prefix> (which can be a full or partial
SH/DX dxcc g
SH/DX dxcc w on 20m iota
+This is an alias for: SH/DX dxcc
+
+=== 0^SHOW/FDX^Show the DX data in realtime format.
+Normally SHOW/DX outputs spot data in a different format to the
+realtime data. This is a deliberate policy (so you can tell the
+difference between the two). Some logging programs cannot handle
+this so SHOW/FDX outputs historical data in real time format.
+
+This is an alias for: SHOW/DX real
+
=== 0^SHOW/DXSTATS [days] [date]^Show the DX Statistics
Show the total DX spots for the last <days> no of days (default is 31),
starting from a <date> (default: today).
should be noted that the figures will probably not be very useful, nor
terrible accurate, but it is included for completeness.
+=== 0^SHOW/MYDX^Show the DX data filtered with your spot filter.
+SHOW/DX potentially shows all the spots available in the system. Using
+SHOW/MYDX will, instead, filter the availble spots using any spot filter
+that you have set, first.
+
+This command, together with ACCEPT/SPOT or REJECT/SPOT, will allow
+you to customise the spots that you receive.
+
+So if you have said: ACC/SPOT on hf
+
+Doing a SHOW/MYDX will now only, ever, show HF spots. All the other
+options on SH/DX can still be used.
+
=== 0^SHOW/NEWCONFIGURATION [<node>]^Show all the nodes and users visible
This command allows you to see all the users that can be seen
and the nodes to which they are connected.
See also SHOW/WM7D for an alternative.
+=== 0^SHOW/DXQSL <callsign>^Show any QSL info gathered from spots
+The node collects information from the comment fields in spots (things
+like 'VIA EA7WA' or 'QSL-G1TLH') and stores these in a database.
+
+This command allows you to interrogate that database and if the callsign
+is found will display the manager(s) that people have spotted. This
+information is NOT reliable, but it is normally reasonably accurate if
+it is spotted enough times.
+
+For example:-
+
+ sh/dxqsl 4k9w
+
+You can check the raw input spots yourself with:-
+
+ sh/dx 4k9w qsl
+
+This gives you more background information.
+
=== 9^SHOW/REGISTERED [<prefix>]^Show the registered users
=== 0^SHOW/ROUTE <callsign> ...^Show the route to the callsign
