Power-QWK Pick Lists in Version 2.00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Pick List is a list maintained by Power-QWK of items that you
use a lot. This enables you to select an item from, say, a list
of peoples' names without having to type it and therefore without
the risk of mis-spelling.
At release 2.00, Power-QWK maintains only one Pick List - the
ToName Pick List.
Every time you send a message, Power-QWK notes the name of the
addressee and uses it to update a list of the twenty people you
write to the most.
Whenever you are prompted by Power-QWK to supply the addressee's
name for a message you have entered, you can instead press F2 to
be presented with the current ToName Pick List.
This facility is available for 'carbon copies' as well as for
'proper' messages.
There is in fact one other Pick List but you may not realise that
it is one. This is the Conference Pick List. Whenever Power-QWK
needs you to enter a conference name, it offers you the Conference
Pick List from which to choose one.
The ToName Pick List is not offered automatically because it could
be a source of annoyance to those users who do not write often to
the same people. The Conference Pick List is offered automatically
because it is a COMPLETE list - you have no choice but to enter
one of its constituent names.
