With the patch, can I still invoke a macro definition as a Kverb while in
Connect mode?
ie:
> define doconnect {
> CONNECT /SYNCHRONOUS
> }
for me to activate this while in Connect mode, I have to use: "Set key \???
\kdoconnect".
"Set key \??? doconnect" (not a kverb) just spams the word doconnect within
the connect window while not activating the macro itself.
Its the only way I know how to activate a macro from within the connect
window.
The ability to do this has amazing potential. I created a great deal amount
of enhancements this way. If you like I can send a few to you.
But apparently this is what.. an exploit? I had no reading materials when I
first started researching this. Just the embedded help. After my 1st week of
a great deal amount of trial and errors, this is what I came up with. I just
kept figuring I was doing something wrong. Emailed Frank da Cruz about a way
to activate macros from within the connect mode. On jan 14th, he said
literarly: "There is a bug in the current version of Kermit 95 that prevents
running macros from keystrokes".
I always assumed that it was going to be corrected. I now have the book
written by him. You're saying otherwise. Now my only concern is having all
my work destroyed if this method is removed with the patch.
All I need to know is if my work will continue to work with the patch. Right
now I don't know if I want patch anymore. I'm afraid that it'll ruin
everything. We're rather dependant on those enhancements now. I scrapped
that one macro until later on. Everything else is at 100% and I wish to keep
it that way.
