ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About MUEd/PM ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
MUEd/PM Professional 1.02
Copyright 1994 by Craig Morrison
All Rights Reserved.
MUEd/PM Pro is a PM based user editor for Maximus v2.xx. It allows you to edit
every aspect of a user record in the easy to use Presentation Manager
environment.
A complete set of tools is provided to access your user file. Both from the
Presentation Manager environment and from your own REXX macros.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. File Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The File Menu contains items that allow for global control over your user file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Sort ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Allows you to physically sort your user file. You are able to specify both a
primary and secondary key, while also choosing to sort in ascending or
descending order.
A dialog box will be presented for you to choose the sort options you wish to
use.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. REXX Macro... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Here you will be presented with a standard file open dialog so that you can
choose a REXX script to execute. Please see MUEd/PM REXX Extensions for more
information about the REXX capabilities of MUEd/PM.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Records the changes you have made to your user file and makes them permanent.
Once you save your changes you are committed, Revert will not help you. If you
made a mistake you will have to close MUEd/PM and copy the backup file back
over your user file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Revert ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Discards any changes made since the last Save, Pack & Save or Append to the
user file. Save, Pack & Save and Append User all make committed changes to the
user file on disk, after performing one of those functions Revert will not
discard those changes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. Pack and Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Packs the user file and saves all changes. Deleted users are purged using this
selection. As mentioned earlier, after a Pack, Revert won't restore the user
file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Returns you to either Workplace Shell or to the command prompt you started
MUEd/PM from.
As an alternative to selecting this option you can press F3 on your keyboard.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Users Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Users Menu contains items that affect the selected user.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. Find... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Prompts you to enter a text string to use as the search criteria. The text you
enter here will be searched for in all the visible fields in MUEd/PM's window.
The first match found will be scrolled into view and high-lighted for you.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. Edit... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Brings up the edit user dialog for the selected user. The edit user dialog
while large and menacing, is actually quite simple to use. For an explanation
of the fields in the dialog, refer to the context sensitive help available
while using it.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3. Apply Template... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Applies a user template, defined in MUEDPM.TPL, to the selected user record.
Please see the included MUEDPM.TPL for more information on what fields you can
define in a template, the file is heavily commented.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4. Append Record ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Appends a blank record to the end of the user file and brings up the edit user
dialog. This selection makes a physical change to the user file stored on disk
and can not be undone without exiting MUEd/PM and copying the backup file over
the user file. Revert can not reverse this action.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5. Toggle DEL Flag ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Toggles the deleted flag for the selected record. Basically this is just a
quick way to mark or unmark a user for deletion without having to open the edit
user dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help Menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Help Menu contains items that allow you to access online help.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. Product Information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

and easy to use fashion. Most of the settings can be altered point and click
style.
Just push buttons to see what they do, Cancel will discard any changes you have
made if you don't want to save them. Save will record the changes in memory.
