           NOTE: notes addressed to 'all' can be removed by anyone
Maxpost  - maximum number of posts the board can hold
Filename - filename to store the board's information
Type     - 0 = note board         1 = mail board

read_group    - group that may read that board, regardless of level
post_group    - group that may post to that board, regardless of level

Syntax: Bset <board filename> <field> <value>
Syntax: Bstat <board filename> (same room as board needs no args)
 
BSTAT will show the current setting for the statted board.
 
BSET will set new values for a given board.
Correct FIELD values for Bset are:
  ovnum, read, post, remove, maxpost, filename, and type
  read_group, post_group, extra_readers, and extra_removers
  All boards will be type 1, except Nerif's mail board (type 2).
Action FIELD values include:
  oremove, otake, olist, oread, ocopy, opost, and postmessg
  These should be followed by the message to be sent to those
  who are at the board, but not performing the action (similar
  to mpechoaround). Postmessg is the only message that will be
  seen by the actor of a Bset action value.
