Yet another ROBOTS.txt file question (sorry)

Can someone give me some advice on this please.
I have a public section and a private section of my forum.
I want to allow bots from search engines to crawl and index my public forum in order to get some traffic through it.
But I also want to absolutely deny any bots at all from access and crawling anything else.

Can I specify a robots.txt that says allow 1 forum category and disallow everywhere else?

I have searched but can't find any information on these specifics. Obviously I found lots of robots.txt stuff, but nothing that can be of specific help.

Thanks for your help.
