DMSPPE1B - What's New - 01/11/95
1. Complete revamp of the End of Message prompt (EOM.PPE). Now consists of a
seven-part multi-level scrolling prompt. Commands were taken from HLPENDR
(help file for EOM by PCBoard). Additional PCBoard commands were added to
round out the selections. An Advanced command was added to allow the user to
type in their own command by hand w/out forcing them to leave the menu
system (unless PCBoard normally exits the EOM prompt after the command).
Requirement and support of EOMATTCH.PPE and its associated files
(EOMATTCH.HLP, FLAG.KBD, VIEW.KBD) have been replaced with EOMATTCH.DIS
(optional display file). EOMATTCH.PPE was introduced in DMSPPE1A.
2. Where appropriate, a handler for the ESC key was added. Pressing ESC
will clear all characters typed by the user. CMDLINE.PPE, MENUS.CMD, and the
Advanced and # options for EOM.PPE are affected by this change.
3. In some instances, high-order ASCII characters were making their way into the
keyboard buffer prior to the calling of a PPE by PCBoard. Whether from line
noise or voodoo, I don't know, but a filter was added to all PPEs to strip
out ASCII characters below 32 and above 126.
4. XON.PPE was changed to clear the screen when called. Since the previous menu
display was still on the screen, I found that some users were getting
confused.
5. Updated the installation instructions (INSTALL.DOC)
