>>---> New CONFIG.XRS parameters in 4.50 (15-June-1991)
(please see corrected information about "EmptyBag x" below, too)
Since "^aPID:" kludges seem to be in vogue and clean up a bit of
the mess on the echomail tear lines (although this leaves people
wide open to put someone else's advertisement in there), I now
default to putting in pids and nothing on the tear line. You can
reverse this default by using: (note that any XCS version *is*
shown on the tear line either way)
;No PIDs
Because some EGA/VGA/SVGA/1024 fonts are software-only controlled,
you must tell XRS never to adjust back to original display geometry
even if it thinks it has changed. Hardware fonts (or fonts supported
by a "TSR" program like 'VGAfont') should *not* have this parameter
activated, or XRS will fail to automatically restore them even if you
change them by using another mode-changing program outside XRS. Note
that if you *do* use software-only non-TSR fonts, you must adjust any
video changes made by external programs (if any) before returning to
XRS since it will no longer attempt to keep track of screen size!
;Soft Font
In order to accomodate huge <J>ump lists, XRS now virtualizes any
list which would contain more than 500 entries. You can set this
threshold down to 100 or up as high as 3000 entries - smaller numbers
take less RAM to scroll larger lists but increase disk access if you
don't preload summary, larger numbers give faster response, but take
longer to "pop up" and eat more 'low' RAM to build. If you have the
"Preload Summary" on, response is smooth either way. If you attempt
to set it out of range, the value is adjusted to minimum or maximum
allowable instead.
;Virtualize 750
You may also set the virual page-size (number of elements which
are swapped in and out each time the physical list "faults" and the
virtual list has to be paged). Smaller numbers page more often, but
quickly - larger numbers page less often, but each page takes longer.
You cannot set the virtual page size to less than the screen height,
nor more than 1/2 the total virtual list size default of set with
the "Virtualize xxx" parameter. If you attempt to set it to a value
out of range it will be adjusted to the mimimum or maximum allowable
value instead.
;VirtualJump 100
If you want the <J>ump lists sorted by subject/topic/thread, use
(this can also be toggled "on-the-fly" from the <F4> config window)
;Sort Subjects
To force the mailbag handling menu to appear every time you exit,
even if you have not read all messages:
;Always
XRS now supports full messages topic threading inside a mailbag by
creating a doubly-linked list of topics. Threading can be turned on
and off on-the-fly inside XRS from the <F4> hot-keyed configuration
window. By default it is off - if you want to automatically activate
support for the "+" and "-" keys to follow any threads found instead
of the normal "next" and "previous" functions use: (both this and
the following parameter can be adjusted 'on-the-fly" from the <F4>
configuation window hot-key list)
Threading
To force the "+" and "-" keys to only follow threads (this implies
"Threading"), and not appear if there is no corresponding thread use:
Thread Only
To force XRS to act like a new mailbag has been unpacked if you use
an external utility such as XCS to create mail: (this was in 4.10)
;Force New
To preselect the option taken when an empty mailbag is detected as you
leave the program (i.e. "Repack/Delete/Both/Leave") Note that if you
se a non-English overlay, these option letters will be different (XRS
only looks at the first letter of the second word). This does not cause
the option to be automatically selected, but only sets the default item
to highlight in the list. The default is "Leave" for mailbags with any
unread messages, or "Delete" if there are no unread messages. With 4.12
you can force this menu to always appear although normally it is shown
only if the "Read Only New" filter is off on exit (See "Always" above).
EmptyBag Both
"EmptyBag" compresses into your "Indir" by default, but you can use
another subdirectory as the 'archives' by specifying (the sub-directory
must exist, or an error will occur!) This example shows the archive
sub-dir being a sub-directory (named OLDBAGS) of the current directory.
Note that mailbags which have not been completely read go back into the
InDir regardless of what you specify here, so you can easily reopen them
;SaveBagPath OLDBAGS
>>---> New CONFIG.XRS parameters in 4.10
To use an external mail bundler, use this parameter - the program is
responsible for handling all aspects of the outbound mail processing.
DO NOT USE THIS FOR BUILT-IN .QWK SUPPORT USING RUDI'S XCS PROGRAMS!
;Bundler FOREIGN.EXE
To force alternate handling of hot-keys for SCO Xenix environment
by replacing <ALT_Fx> keys with <SHIFT_Fx> in editor, etc.:
;No Alt Keys
To force redirection to CON: during external program calls, use:
;Force Redirection
>>---> New CONFIG.XRS parameters in 4.00
In order to have XRS search another disk and/or subdirectory for its
inbound mailbags (instead of in the current directory), use:
;Indir d:\comm\download
To always show messages in a scrolling viewable window instead of one
page at a time (note: default is optimize list/page mode automatically).
;List View
To view messages in the old manner (i.e. page by page) all the time
;Page View
In order to force continual updating of the highlighted message header
during <J>ump selection use this parameter - note that you can force the
header to show anyway with the <TAB> key (continuous updating may be too
slow on your machine).
;Jump Headers
Since XRS now does verticle retrace wait (avoids snow on CGA monitors)
automatically, if you have CGA hardware that does not get snowy, use
;No Snow
XRS continually updating the time on the bottom of the screen during
message reading and editing, it interferes with "ScreenTalk" (and other
similar) hardware used by visually impared users. To avoid this use
;No Seconds
If the clock at the bottom of the screen causes problems or sluggish
performance, you can completely eliminate it using
;No Clock
Because so many people have asked for it, I have whacked on C_Worthy
source-code (again) to allow you to swap the normal editor key functions
for "Paste" and "Toggle overwrite/insert". Normally, <INS> does a paste
and <F9> swaps insert and overwritet modes - with this parm, they reverse
<INS> <F9> Reversed
XRS will automatically prompt you to change the to name each time you
reply to or quote a message if you use
To Name Prompt
