DMSPPE1A - What's New - 11/27/94
1. Added the ability to flag / view / ignore files attached to messages. Updated
files include:
EOM.PPE
EOMATTCH.PPE
FLAG.KBD
VIEW.KBD
EOMATTCH.HLP
These files should be copied into the directory that holds EOM.PPE. See
INSTALL.DOC for further installation instructions.
2. Modified EOM.PPE to trap for messages that would push the message header off
the top of the screen when the following conditions are met:
- the user has 'Clear screen between msgs' set to Yes
- the user has 'Scroll long msgs' set to No
- the user is in one of the ANSI compatible Modes
Since EOM.PPE replaces PCBoard's normal 1-line prompt with a 5-line prompt (ANSI
compatible mode), messages that displayed close to the user's page length
setting would scroll part of the message header off the top of the screen. When
the above conditions are met, a WAIT is now inserted before the EOM prompt
appears.
Other than copying the new EOM.PPE to your system, no other changes are
necessary for this change to take affect.
3. Added XON.PPE with this update. If a user is in the non-expert mode (menus
are displayed) and they wish to change to the expert mode, PCBoard's built-in
XPRT keyword type (defined in *.MNU files) will not cleanly exit the menu mode.
XON forces the expert mode on and the menus off. See INSTALL.DOC for
installation instructions.
4. Updated the installation instructions for NEWMAIL.PPE, SCANMAIL.PPE, and
EOM.PPE. Also added tips for configuring .MNU files to force the 'Q' command
to Quick Scan instead of Quit Menu. Review INSTALL.DOC for this information.
