- MYDIAL dialogs in the GEM Spooler 2.2 utilities
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- All GEM Spooler 2.2 utilities now offer MYDIAL dialogs (MYDIAL is a dialog
- library from Olaf Meisiek) with normalized key code converting (NKCC, a
- library from Harald Siegmund). This has some advantages compared to normal
- GEM dialogs:
-
- - shortcut buttons: every button can be activated by pressing ALT
- simultaneously with the underlined character (e.g. ALT-O for OK).
-
- - normalized key code converting: all shortcuts behave the same way
- on all international TOS versions: ALT-Q is allways ALT-Q
-
- - dialogs can be moved by means of the mover (upper right corner).
- Just click on the mover, and drag the dialog to a new place.
- Release the mouse button to 'drop' the dialog on its new position.
- If you hold the control key, dialogs will be moved in transparent
- mode instead of in solid mode. Very useful to see what's beneath
- a dialog !
-
- - Pressing INSERT in edit fields will pop up a menu with the ST
- character set. Click on a (special) character and it will be
- inserted in the edit field.
-
- - A mouse click in an edit field positions the cursor.
-
- - A more modern look of the dialogs: cross buttons, round radio buttons...

-
- I hope you enjoy these features,
