<freq> is compared against the available bands set up in the cluster.
see show/bands for more information.
+=== 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
+be broadcast in PC41 protocol packets. This information is Name, QTH, Location
+and Homenode. PC41s are only sent for the information that is available.
+
=== 0^HELP^The HELP Command
HELP is available for a number of commands. The syntax is:-
Look at the APROPOS <string> command which will search the help database
for the <string> you specify and give you a list of likely commands
to look at with HELP.
-=== 0^SHOW/DX^Interrogate the spot database
-If you just type SHOW/DX you will get the last so many spots
-(sysop configurable, but usually 10).
-
-In addition you can add any number of these commands in very nearly
-any order to the basic SHOW/DX command, they are:-
-
-on <band> - eg 160m 20m 2m 23cm 6mm
-on <region> - eg hf vhf uhf shf (see SHOW/BANDS)
-
-<number> - the number of spots you want
-<from>-<to> - <from> spot no <to> spot no in the selected list
-
-<prefix> - for a spotted callsign beginning with <prefix>
-*<suffix> - for a spotted callsign ending in <suffix>
-*<string>* - for a spotted callsign containing <string>
-
-day <number> - starting <number> days ago
-day <from>-<to> - <from> days <to> days ago
-
-info <text> - any spots containing <text> in the info or remarks
-
-spotter <call> - any spots spotted by <call>
-
-e.g.
-
- SH/DX 9m0
- SH/DX on 20m info iota
- SH/DX 9a on vhf day 30

+=== 9^LOAD/ALIASES^Reload the command alias table
+Reload the /spider/cmd/Aliases file after you have editted it. You will need to
+do this if you change this file whilst the cluster is running in order for the

+Normally, if you change a command file in the cmd or local_cmd tree it will
+automatially be picked up by the cluster program. Sometimes it can get confused
+if you are doing a lot of moving commands about or delete a command in the
+local_cmd tree and want to use the normal one again. Execute this command to
+reset everything back to the state it was just after a cluster restart.
+
+=== 9^LOAD/MESSAGES^Reload the system messages file
+If you change the /spider/perl/Messages file (usually whilst fiddling/writing new

+
+unknown message 'xxxx' in lang 'en'
+
+=== 9^LOAD/PREFIXES^Reload the prefix table
+Reload the /spider/data/prefix_data.pl file if you have changed it manually whilst
+the cluster is running.
+
+=== 1^PING <node>^Send a ping command to another cluster

+The time returned is the length of time taken for a PC51 to go to another
+cluster and be returned.
=== 0^KILL <msgno> [<msgno> ...]^Remove or erase a message from the system
You can get rid of any message to or originating from your callsign using
