-=== 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.
+ %C - callsign [which will have ( and ) around it if not here]

+ %M - cluster 'mycall'
+
+The standard prompt is defined as:

+=== 6^SET/STARTUP <call>^Create a user startup script
+=== 0^SET/STARTUP^Create your own startup script
+Create a startup script of DXSpider commands which will be executed
+everytime that you login into this node. You can only input the whole
+script afresh, it is not possible to 'edit' it. Inputting a new script is
+just like typing in a message using SEND. To finish inputting type: /EX
+on a newline, to abandon the script type: /ABORT.
+
+You may find the (curiously named) command BLANK useful to break
+up the output. If you simply want a blank line, it is easier to
+input one or more spaces and press the <return> key.
+
+See UNSET/STARTUP to remove a script.
+
+=== 6^UNSET/STARTUP <call>^Remove a user startup script
+=== 0^UNSET/STARTUP^Remove your own startup script
+You can remove your startup script with UNSET/STARTUP.
+
+=== 5^SET/SPIDER <call> [<call>..]^Make the callsign an DXSpider node

=== 0^UNSET/TALK^Stop TALK messages coming out on your terminal
You can also use this with the 'by' keyword so

+ 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.
+

e.g.

=== 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).
Show the contents of all the filters that are set. This command displays
all the filters set - for all the various categories.
+=== 0^SHOW/GRAYLINE [ndays] [<prefix>|<callsign>]^Show Civil dawn/dusk times
+This command is very similar to SHOW/SUN except that it shows the
+start and end of "Official" or "Civil" Dawn and Dusk. This is defined
+as when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.
+
+If you don't specify any prefixes or callsigns, it will show the
+times for your QTH (assuming you have set it with either SET/LOCATION
+or SET/QRA), together with the current azimuth and elevation.
+
+If all else fails it will show the civil dawn and dusk times for
+the node that you are connected to.
+
+For example:-
+
+ SH/GRAYLINE
+ SH/GRAYLINE G1TLH W5UN
+
+You can also use this command to see into the past or the future, so
+if you want to see yesterday's times then do:-
+
+ SH/GRAYLINE -1
+
+or in three days time:-
+
+ SH/GRAYLINE +3 W9
+
+Upto 366 days can be checked both in the past and in the future.
+
+Please note that the times are given as the UT times of the requested
+UT day.
+
=== 0^SHOW/HFSTATS [days] [date]^Show the HF DX Statistics
Show the HF DX spots breakdown by band 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.
