- Mervyn,
- 1. I too am puzzled. I do not remember any procedure for
- transferring address blocks to letters with the key sequence (or any
- other) you note. My 3.1 gives me the search sequence with those
- keystrokes: F1-l(layout)-s(search)-(no "t" choice, but prompted for
- the subdirectory parameters). Which would result in a
- "se [directory]*[file.names]*"
- sort of search. There is no entry for such a procedure in my manual
- under "address" and I have no idea what you are talking about.
-
- 2. As I said, marking a block, going to the action line with
- either F9 or F8, then gray+ puts the block on the action line. Great
- improvement.
-
- 3. You are right, it would be nice to be able to change \Lxxx\ to
- \Lyyy\, leaving whatever Letter is in the L spot alone. We should ask
- for this in our various communications to NBI, or whatever it will be
- called.
-
- 4. Interesting.
-
- By the way, this file was prepared on the machine with lingua
- installed, and converted with Michael Shalev's Email.run program.
- Having run the program successfully under 4.0, however, I did note a
- similar, though different, odd behavior: the file Email.run had a LS
- delta added to the beginning of it, and all the command brackets were
- changed into equal to or less than, and equal to or greater than
- symbols. Very odd indeed. Upon running it again, on this file, the
- resulting file had 2 <<MDNM>>s at the beginning of each line. It
- clearly needs work.
