Doc file for MU-EDIT v0.22 30 May 87
Sysop,
MU-EDIT is a prototype of a program which I'm developing. The reason for
releasing it in this form, is to invite opinions, and suggestions. Also, in
it's current form it has lot of features that SysOp's can make use of. I
and at least 3 other SysOp's use this program for various reason. As
delivered, it is believed to be as reliable as a production version would
be.
Please keep in mind that this program has lots of rought edges !!!. It was
intended that several features function the same as in RBBS. This is true in
most cases. There are places where this editor doesn't function as RBBS does.
Program Load
------------
From the commandline specify ...
MU-EDIT [msg filespec] [/first name to scan for] [/second name to scan for]
ex.
MU-EDIT mainm.def /sysop/kim wells
The names SYSOP and Kim Wells will be flagged if the program detects msgs
have been written or are waiting for those names. The name in the first
switch will be the name used in the NAME FROM when repling to msgs.
Global commands
---------------
These commands can be used with those functions in which one would possible
do multiple times.
A Do the the specified function to ALL messages
M Do the the specified function to MY messages
F Do the the specified function to MSGS FROM me
T Do the the specified function to MSGS TO me
- From the Specifed msg backwards
+ From the Specifed msg forwards
* From the last msg read forwards
Menu commands
-------------
D)oors - Allows you to run and external program (not one written in BASIC)

E)nter - Brings up the message editor
G)oodbye - Terminates the program
H)elp - Display a summary of what the commands are
J)oin - Allows you to join a conference. The function works just the
commandline on program load. The conference file name must be a

base for a name, you can specify which names by adding them to
the join command.
Ex. J;H:MAINM.DEF /SYSOP/Kim Wells
