- Multiple Editor Utility v0.10
- By Dan Traczynski
- January 20, 1996.
-
-
- 1.0 - Introduction
-
- This mini-utility allows the SysOp to have multiple full-screen editors on
- his/her BBS so each user may use his favourite one, rather than the SysOp's
- favourite one. ;) It has been tested with RemoteAccess 2.0x but should work
- with any QuickBBS compatible system.
-
-
- 2.0 - Installation
-
- Installation takes a few steps, but I have tried to make it as easy as
- possible to install MultEdit. Firstly, you must make sure that RemoteAccess
- runs the MSG.BAT file that is included in the package. This can be done by
- entering "*C /C MSG.BAT *M" in RACONFIG> Options> Messages> External Editor.
- After this, run MEConfig.Exe and enter in the names of the editors that you
- will be using. Next edit MSG.BAT and have it execute these editors. MultEdit
- will return an errorlevel corresponding to the editor that the user has
- chosen. Therefore, if editor #1 is IceEdit and the user selects this editor,
- MultEdit.Exe will return an errorlevel of 1. MSG.BAT checks this and then
- runs the appropriate program. You must also edit MultEdit.Cfg and enter the
- required information.
-
- When a user posts a message, he will be asked which editor to use. After
- the first query, MultEdit will always run that editor without any further
- prompts. To allow the user to change his default editor, a type 7 menu
- option must be created with "C:\<Whatever Directory>\MULTEDIT.EXE /X" in the
- OptData field. The "/X" parameter tells MultEdit that the user wants to
- select a new message editor.
-
-
- 2.1 - Sysop keys
-
- F1 - Shows the Sysop keys on the status bar.
- Alt∙C - Invokes the chat mode (with line wrapping :).
- Alt∙T - "Twit user". Returns the user back to the BBS.
- PgUp - Adds 5 minutes to the user's time.
- PgDn - Subtracts 5 minutes from the user's time.
