-<P>There are 3 basic commands involved in setting and manipulating filters. These are <EM>accept</EM>,
-<EM>reject</EM> and <EM>clear</EM>. First we will look generally at filtering. There are a number
-of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. They all use the same general mechanism.
-<P>
-<P>In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which can have up to 10 lines in
-it. You do this using, for example ...

-<PRE>

-accept/spots .....
-reject/spots .....
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There are filters for spots, wwv,
-announce, wcy and (for sysops) connects. See each different accept or reject command reference
-for more details.
-<P>There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter. They are ...

-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-clear/spots 1
-clear/spots all
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.

-<P>
-<P>For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply the same principles
-to all types of filter.
-<P>
-<P>There are two main types of filter, <EM>accept</EM> or <EM>reject</EM>. You can use either
-to achieve the result you want dependent on your own preference and which is more simple to
-do. It is pointless writing 8 lines of reject filters when 1 accept filter would do the
-same thing! Each filter has 10 lines (of any length) which are tried in order. If a line
-matches then the action you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept
-means take it)
-<P>
-<P>If you specify reject filters, then any lines that arrive that match the filter will be
-dumped but all else will be accepted. If you use an accept filter, then ONLY the lines
-in the filter will be accepted and all else will be dumped.
-For example if you have a single line <EM>accept</EM> filter ...
