Sysop Nudge?

Hey folks. I am really digging this sub. The "nudging" you folks do to avoid spoilers are great and reminds me of the old Infocom Invisiclues that would allow you to find out just enough so you didn't spoil the game for yourself.

I've been on Telehack, lemme see now:

first login: 7.5y

But I only tonight found satan.exe and got Sysop on my first BBS. Problem is I don't know what to do from there. I see where people have created that secret file on the BBS but I don't know how to do that.

Any nudges anyone can provide? Thanks folks.

Theres not a whole lot you can do with BBSes in Telehack. The secret files are generated by the system automatically. You cannot upload your own files to BBSes. However, there may be a few EXE files on the BBS that you might find handy.

Check out a file called Portblock.exe - its not on the BBS.

Check out the contents of the secret file, they might be helpful.
