Tagging files is one of the most used features in Terminate. It will save
you hundreds of small little notes and allow you to start downloading files
faster. The Alt-F5 filetagger will try to identify all possible filenames
on screen, then, when you move the cursor up or down, the menubar will jump
to the next file it has identified.
^hFile tagger keys^n
^bSPACE^n Tag or untag file
^b+^n Tag all files found on screen
^b-^n Untag all
^b*^n Tagged files gets untagged and untagged gets tagged (inverse)
^bE^n Edit tagged name.
^hFile tagger cursor movements^n
^bUp^n Move up to previous found filename
^bDown^n Move down to next found filename
^bRight^n Increase position of menubar by 1
^bLeft^n Decrease position of menubar by 1
^bShift+Right^n Increase size of menubar by 1
^bShift+Left^n Decrease size of menubar by 1
^bShift+Up^n Decrease found line by 1
^bShift+Down^n Decrease found line by 1
When you press escape all tagged files are saved and can now be reached from
the tag menu. You can also check an entire file list quickly and then
scrollback with ^bAlt-B^n and tag files from there. Remember that no online
remote tagger will react as quickly as doing the tagging locally.
^hTag menu^n
The tag menu will work a little differently depending on if you use the
menu from Alt-F6 (download) or Alt-F7 and filerequest.

╘══════════════════╧═════════════╧═════════════╧═════════════╧═════════════╛^n
The 'Tagged files' indicates the total of tagged entries.
The 'Tagged from:' will show on which system you tagged the file. If you
change phonebooks it will not show the correct system. The phonebook has
to be loaded to see where you have tagged the files. Call a system or
press Alt-D, Esc to load the phonebook.
^hA Edit tagfile^n
Edit any tag file with the external editor. If you have called a system,
Terminate will suggest a filename that looks like the system name, but
actually you can edit any file from here.
^hC Clear all^n
Clean the screen and throw away all files that you have tagged.
^hD Delete (■)^n
When you send the filename back with one of the functions here, you can
clean up the screen. This is useful if you have tagged 50 or more files
and have collected the first 10.
^hL Load tagfile^n
Load any textfile into the tag menu. The first word will be grabbed
from each line.
^hS Save tagfile^n
If you suddenly need to save the tagged files. Lets say you are online and
have just tagged 20-30 files and suddenly your mum arrives and you have
again forgotten the time because of those damn computers, now you just save
the tagfile and when she has left again, you load the tagged files again
and call the system and download the rest of the files.
^hE Edit entry^n
Edit manually the entries on screen.
^hI Import dir^n
You can import a local directory with all the files.
This option could be useful when uploading, if you have a directory with a
lot of files you want to upload to a system, you might be asked to enter
the names first with the remote system checking if the file is already
present on the remote system.
^hT Filelist^n
You can tag directly from filelists. First you will be asked for the name
of the filelist. Then 'keyword or wildcard'. If you enter a normal DOS
wildcard filename like '*.ZIP' all lines will be searched for a .ZIP file,
but if you do not enter a wildcard each line in the filelist will be
searched for matches. So, if you enter VGA, all lines having the word 'VGA'
will be available. The limit is 250 matches. The list can be sorted
alphabetically if you like. You can now select from the found matches. Just
mark all the files you want with ^hSPACE^n or press ^h+^n for marking all files
found. ^h-^n will unmark all and ^h*^n will toggle all tags. When pressing Esc
all files tagged will now be imported into the tag menu (if there is room
for them).
The tagged lines will also be saved in the download path (or inbound) in a
file called FILES.BBS so you have the descriptions. Thus, you will not need
the BBS to send you an extra file with the descriptions (if the system does
it anyway, just delete the file.)
With this option you will never need to spend much online time looking for
new files. If you have a high speed modem, just download the filelist,
search it manually and tag all the files off-line. Then dial the system
and use the tag menu to select the files.
^hM Magic^n
Magic names is a commonly used term in fidonet and means the same as alias.
In this way, some systems have aliases for some special files that can be
requested from the system.
^hG GenTag^n
Call any external utility you like. Normally this should point to a utility
that could generate a TERMINAT.TAG file that could be imported here.
^hB Sort^n
Sort all entries alphabetically.
^hU UnTag^n
Untag the file.
^hDel Remove entry^n
Delete the tagged file.
^h■=Sent / ■=Request^n
Depending on if you called the tagmenu with ^hAlt-F6^n or when file
requesting from ^hAlt-F7^n, the tagged files have different meanings.
Download: ■ means that you have already tried to download the file once.
Request : ■ means that this file should be requested.
^hSpace / Return^n
Download: Send name + Space/Return (ASCII #32/#13). Some systems allow you
to enter several filenames on the same line. Let's say you have 3 files you
want to download. First press space on the two first files and then press
return on the last file: 'FILE1.EXT FILE2.EXT FILE3.EXT'+return.
Just as if you typed the line yourself.
Request: When you edit an entry the ■ means: YES! request this file,
please. You can toggle this entry with the spacebar if you suddenly decide
you don't want the file anyway. Press return when you are finished tagging
files. If you do not want to request anyway just press Esc.
^h+ All+13 - All+32 / +-* Toggle all^n
Download: Pressing ^h+^n will send all the filenames separated by a return
(#13). ^h-^n will do the same thing, but separated with a space (#32) instead.
Request: ^h+^n will select all files to be requested. ^h-^n will deselect all the
files and ^h*^n will toggle all files.
