+
+<P><B>Q.</B>These commands seem very long! Can I shorten them?
+<P><B>A.</B>Of course you can and the usual abbreviations work. If you
+are unsure, try it.
+<P><B>Q.</B>I am not sure if this command is correct. Can I cause any
+harm if I try it?
+<P><B>A.</B>Do not be afraid to try a command to see if it will work,
+at the worst you will get an error message. If you require any
+help on a command, just type help followed by the command you
+want help on. Look at the "DXSpider Command Reference" section to see
+what help can be found.
+<P><B>Q.</B>How should I use the announce command?
+<P><B>A.</B>With respect. Use the command by all means, but please
+only use the "full" extension if absolutely necessary. It can
+create a LOT of messages passing between clusters.
+<P><B>Q.</B>I like to be working in the shack while logged into the
+cluster but I can't be looking at the screen all the time. How
+can I be alerted when anything happens?
+<P><B>A.</B>Use the <B>SET/BEEP</B> command. You can find information
+on this in the "DXSpider Command Reference" section.
+<P><B>Q.</B>I keep getting disconnected from the cluster, what is
+happening and how can I stop it?
+<P><B>Q.</B>I got disconnected from the cluster and now I can't log
+back in again. What is wrong?
+<P><B>A.</B>Probably the cluster thinks you are still logged on and
+will not let you reconnect using the same call to prevent loops.
+Try logging on again adding an ssid to your callsign as DXSpider
+treats G0YLM and G0YLM-1 as different users.
+<P><B>Q.</B>I notice that all the commands are shown in lower case in
+the main section of this manual, but in upper case in the "DXSpider
+Command Reference" section. Why is that?
+<P><B>Q.</B>How do I know if I have got the latest version of this
+user manual?
+<P><B>A.</B>The latest and greatest will always be on the Website. It will
+also be included with every release of DXSpider. As always, if unsure,
+ask your sysop what version number is the latest.
