[L]ist
Lists the message as it exists, can be called anytime during
the editing session.
[E]dit
The message line editor is probably one of the most
misunderstood functions in message entry. Because of the
line by line nature of serial communications a full screen
editor cannot be implemented. Instead, a search for text to
be changed is followed by insertion of the corrected text.
The terminology used is OLDSTRING for the text to be
replaced and NEWSTRING for the new text. After asking for
the line number to be edited, WILDCAT! needs to know what
needs to be changed. The syntax for this procedure is
OLDSTRING;NEWTSTRING (note the semicolon between the two words).
This command is translated as "Take the first occurrence of
the characters OLDSTRING and delete them, then insert the
characters NEWSTRING in the same location. For example, if
the message line reads:
"this is a message to shw how to use th Edit command."
Obviously we need to change two errors, the word "th" for
"the" and "shw" for "show". First lets fix "shw" by using
the command "shw;show" which scans for the word "shw" and
replaces it with "show". Now the harder correction. Notice
that the first occurrence of the incorrect text "th" is
actually a part of correct text "this" in the 1st word.
Therefore we can't simply use the command "th;the" or the
new message will read
"theis is a message...".
The proper method is to broaden the OLDSTRING search to
include additional unique text such as
"use th;use the"
Notice that we can replace any number of letters even with a
shorter or longer NEWSTRING.
After an edit the caller is presented with the corrected
line and allowed to make more corrections, if needed. A
blank [C/R] terminates the Edit mode.
[I]nsert
Allows insertion of new lines in the text. The user is
prompted for the line number where new lines should be
inserted. The selected line number moves down, and a new
line is added at the chosen number. Any number of new lines
will be inserted as word-wrap creates more new lines as
needed.
[+] Subj.
Pressing the plus key (+) allows editing the Subject line of
the message in the event that it is incorrect or misspelled.
[S]ave
After the message has been proofread and edited, the save
command will update the message base with the message and
appropriate carbon copies, if requested.
