*loc_fname_fld
Local File -- Name and Ext
--------------------------
You may use this to make uploading several different files from
your system (local files) to several GEnie forums, all using the
same in the forums.
For instance, you may have a file on your system named local.arc
and wish to upload it without renaming it. Enter the name of
the file in the Local File name and extension fields and choose
an appropriate name for GEnie for the upload file.
Using this example,
Local File Upload File
Name Ext Name Ext
LOCAL.ARC UPLOAD.ARC
<PgDwn> for [MORE]
Ease-Up would write a script that would send LOCAL.ARC from your
system to GEnie. The file would be named UPLOAD.ARC on GEnie.
The entry of a local file name is not required. You may leave
the field empty and Ease-Up will use the file name and extension
from the Upload File field for the name of the local file.

*file_name_fld
Upload File Name
────────────────
<Required>
Enter name that you want GEnie to use for your file, without the
extension. This may be a different name from the file on your
system (see Local File above) if you choose. If you leave the
Local File name and extension blank, this entry (Upload File)
will be used for the local file.
<F1> for [MORE]
*fnam_ext_fld
Upload File Name Ext
────────────────────
When you enter the EXT field for the first time you are presented
with a pop of choice list of common filename extensions. You may
choose one of the listed extensions, or press the ESC key to
close the list and enter an extension of your choice.
Ease-Up will check the your entry to make sure that it is a legal
file name extension. If your entry contains any illegal
characters, Ease-Up will tell you which character must be edited
and return you to the field. Ease-Up will not accept an illegal
file name extension, so you should make the corrections when
prompted.
<F1> for [MORE]
*forum_name_fld
Forum Name
──────────
<Required>
When you first enter the Forum Name field, you will be presented
with a choice list of many of the forum names on GEnie.Choosing a
name from the list will automatically enter that forum into the
Forum Name field. The list is not all-inclusive and some listed
services may not in fact have libraries. Be sure you are familiar
with the forum you select. If the forum you are uploading to is
not in the list, simply press the ESC key to close the list and
enter the forum name in the field.
<F1> for [MORE]
*forum_lib_fld
Library Number
──────────────
<Required>
With all forums, it is necessary to choose a particular library
in which your file will be uploaded. Ease-Up includes a list of
libraries for several of the popular forums on GEnie. If the
forum you chose in the Forum Name field has its library list
included with Ease-Up, you will be presented with this list when
you enter the LIB field. The libraries are listed by number
with a short description of each, as provided by GEnie.
If you have chosen a forum which Ease-Up does not have a library
list for, Ease-Up will beep once when you enter this field and
display the message "No choices available". You may then enter
the library number into the field. Be sure to enter a valid
library number for the forum. An invalid library number will
cause the script to fail online.
<F1> for [MORE]
*term_prog_fld
Terminal Program
────────────────
<Required>
When you first enter this field, you will be presented with a
choice list of the terminal programs that Ease-Up supports.
Simply choose the program for which you wish the upload script
generated.
The Upload Path field will behave differently, depending on
which terminal program you choose.
<F1> for [MORE]
*scrpt_nam_fld
Script Name
───────────
<Required>
Enter the file name for the script you are generating. Do not
enter an extension. Ease-Up will append the proper extension for
the terminal program you chose to the script name you enter.
Ease-Up will check the your entry to make sure that it is a legal
file name. If your entry contains any illegal characters, Ease-Up
will tell you which character must be edited and return you to
the field. Ease-Up will not accept an illegal file name, so you
should make the corrections when prompted.
Ease-up will check the current directory for a script file with
the same name that you enter. If the file exists, you will be
advised of this by a message window. You may continue and the
existing script file will be overwritten, or you may edit the
Script Name to create a new file.
<F1> for [MORE]
*upl_path_fld
Upload Path
───────────
This field is only available if you are generating an upload
script for use with PROCOMM PLUS or XTALK4. You may enter a
value here manually or use the command line option -p (see Usage
above). An upload path entered on the command line is editable
here.
The path should be the complete DOS path to the file you are
uploading, less the file name itself.
Example: D:\UPLOADS
Ease-Up will check the your entry to make sure that it is a legal
file path name. If your entry contains any illegal characters,
Ease-Up will tell you which character must be edited and return
<PgDwn> for [MORE]
you to the field. Ease-Up will not accept an illegal path name,
but will accept one that does not exist, so you should make the
corrections when prompted.
Qmodem Users:
────────────
The Upload Path field is not used when generating a script for
Qmodem. Qmodem provides an excellent configuration facility
for setting upload and download paths, among others. It is
assumed that you are using this facility of Qmodem. Ease Up
makes use of a Qmodem variable, $UPLOAD, in the scripts it
generates. This variable contains the upload path as set in
Qmodem's configuration. In order for an Ease-Up generated
script to function properly without editing, you should set the
Qmodem upload path as indicated by the program's manual.

*key_wrds_fld
Keywords
────────
Enter the keywords for your upload as you would online.
<F1> for [MORE]
*short_descr_fld
Short Description
─────────────────
Enter the short description for your upload as you would online.
<F1> for [MORE]
*memo_ptr
Long Description
────────────────
Here you may enter the long description of the file you are
uploading. You should follow GEnie and forum guidelines for the
information entered here and in the keywords field.
You are provided with ten lines to enter your long description
on (ten lines is GEnie's limit of the length of the long
description). The lines are numbered from 1 to 9 with "L"
marking the last line.
You may use an external ASCII text file for the long description.
Ease-Up will load the text file using the [-d long descr. file]
command line option. A maximum of 10 lines of text is allowed and
no line should exceed 76 characters in length. Exceeding these
limits won't hurt anything, but your description will not be
formatted as it probably was in your file.
<PgDwn> for [MORE]
Here are many of the editing functions available for the long
description:
F = function key
SHFT = shift key
CTRL = control key
Key Feature
--- -------
F4 paragraph reformatting
INS optional insert or overwrite mode
SHFT-F4 join lines
F5 insert blank line
F6 delete line
SHFT-F6 delete to end of line
CTRL-F6 delete to end of word
HOME goto first column of line
END goto last column of line
CTRL-PGUP goto first column of first row
CTRL-PGDN goto end of text
CTRL-LEFT goto first character of previous word
CTRL-RIGHT goto first character of next word
In addition, there is word wrapping works fine, so long as there
are not enough characters ahead to fill the field. You may
insert a blank line as you normally would, but that carriage
return in the first position on that line will cause the editor
to act as if the line was full. Keep this in mind, as you can't
see the carriage return character and you may believe you have an
empty line.
There is an idiosyncracy in the editor. The TAB key will move you
from the long description to the first field (File Name) and the
Shift-TAB combination will move to the previous field.
