Tricks & Tips Choosing

Choosing items...
While in the view window, you can
choose to send something as a
command simply by highlighing it and
then clicking on the right mouse button.

If what you want to choose is at the
beginning of a line, (like in directory listings
in forums, or menu listings in some areas),
simply place the cursor on that line,
and then click the right mouse button.


Sample Sequence 1

To browse through notes...
When you get to a forum, click DIR.
This will send DIR NEW and start a
directory listing of new notes.
Look through to find one you think is
interesting and want to to read.
Click on the line of the note with
the left button, and then click
the right mouse button.
The note will then be displayed.
If you don't want to reply, click DIR
again, and a directory of notes will be
displayed starting with the last note you read.
Repeat as long as symptoms persist.


Sample Sequence 2

To reply online...
If you are reading a note and want to reply,
highlight any pieces you want to copy to
your reply and click on COPY or click on
right mouse button while holding down CTRL.
When you have finished copying all of the
pieces you want to copy, click on REPLY.
This will send REPLY to Delphi, and switch
you to the edit window to compose your reply.
When you are done, click SEND.
This will send the note and add the ^z
and switch you back to the view window.
It will also save the message to TEMP.MSG
so you have a copy of it.


Sample Sequence 3

To read and reply offline...
Go to your favorite forum hangout.
Click the BUFF button to start text buffering.
Type READ WAITING NS, or click your custom
button for this. (You should have one)
Then simply LOGOFF.
Now read the notes you have downloaded.
When you find one you want to respond to,
simply highlight the parts you want and COPY
as always, and then highlight the note number
and click the REPLY button.
This will take you to the editor to write your reply.
When done, SAVE the message, and it will switch,
you back to the view window and clear the editor.
When finished, LOGON, go to the forum you were on,
and use SEND ALL MESSAGES under OPTIONS
in the menu.  It looks ugly when sending, but it works.


Sample Sequence 4

To follow a thread backwards...
Let's say you are reading a note, and it then
refers to a previous note, but doesn't quote it.
There is a line in the note header like this
    RE: Msg 112456.
Simply highlight the note number using the
left mouse button, and then click the right
mouse button.  The note will be displayed.
When done reading it, click FOLLOW to
follow the thread back to the first note.
