# bulletin.board command

The bulletin.board BASIC program prints
bulletins from the bulletin file located in the
dm account.

This may be included in the user logon macro list to automatically
execute each time the user logs on.

The optional new parameter retrieves items that have not been previously read.

## Syntax

Warning: The system uses the dm,bulletin, file to keep bulletin board items. The process automatically purges
bulletins after seven days.
