Using Classified Ads

To use the Classified Ads sample application

1. Start Classified Ads. A logon form is displayed by root.asp.
2. Enter as a mailbox name either demo1 or demo2 and click OK or press Enter.
3. If you are not already logged on, the Authentication dialog box is displayed. In the Username text box, enter your Microsoft® Windows NT® domain and account name separated with a backslash (no spaces), for example southwest\johnd. In the Password text box, type your Windows NT password. Click OK or press Enter.
4. As soon as you are authenticated, root.asp creates a frameset that uses existing.htm on the top of your screen, title.htm across the center, and folder.htm in the bottom half. Folder.asp displays a list of items within the Classified Ads public folder set up during installation. Title.htm lets you choose views of ads (All Items, All Items for Sale, All Items Wanted, and Ads by Category and Subcategory), refresh the screen to check for newly posted messages, page through additional folders and messages, or post a new item.
5. To open an ad with an active link, click it. Read.htm displays the ad in a new browser window.
6. Click Close to close this window, or Respond to Ad to respond (using compose.htm).
