- >>---> 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.
-
- ;Bundler XRS2REP.EXE
-
-
-
- >>---> New CONFIG.XRS parameters in 4.02
-
- To place ^aPID: lines into echomail in addition to blank tearlines:
-
- ;Pids
-
-
- 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
-
- If you can't stand the blinking cursor bar in "List View" mode, try
- turning it off by removing any marking of quoted text:
-
- No Mark
-
-
- 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
-
-
-
- >>---> New CONFIG.XRS parameters in 3.40
-
- XRS will not continuously display the Row/Pos information onscreen with
-
- ;No Edit Info
-
-
-
- >>---> New CONFIG.XRS parameters in 3.30
-
-
- XRS now expands <TAB> characters in imported files to 8 spaces. If you
- want to vary this (to anything within the range 1 to 10 spaces), use this:
-
- ;Tab 4
-
-
- When XRS displays file picklists, it now shows both the date and time of
- creation or last update. If you prefer DD.MM.YY instead of MM-DD-YY, use
-
- ;EuroDate
-
-
- To automatically search and mark found messages Note: searches are *not*
- case-sensative. Both must be no more than 30 characters - be sure to imbed
- underlines when you need spaces in the search string! You may now have up
- to 10 AutoMatch parameters, which are executed in reverse order, leaving the
- matches found with the *first* AutoMatch parameter with color cascading.
-
- ;AutoMatch XRS
-
-
- XRS will not display all the matched text detail during AutoTag, AutoMatch
- or <F8> text searches if you use the following parameter: (it speeds up the
- slower CGA cards 3-500% and most other cards 150-200%)
-
- ;Hide Search
-
-
- The "Buffer" parameter is back (and works correctly). You may preallocate
- from 512 to 32768 bytes of memory for use as a ring-buffer for I/O to the
- BAT?MAIL.XRS file(s). You need to experiment with this to get it right -
- each different combination of CPU speed and disk drive will have its own
- optimum block-size. Using to large a buffer on a slower machine may have
- the effect of causing bumpy performance, where making it too small may give
- sluggish performance. If you have a fast hard drive and a 386, set it on
- up to 32768 for best performance.

- ;Buffer 16384
