I think the primary importance was things like macros like ALT-X... however, find it easier to keep the default keys ... I have noticed that if you define a new ALT-X macro, pressing ALT-X is some of the windows will execute that macro rather than just exiting, thats IMO very good... -|- Carl Morris (N0YUV) -|- 1:285/302 -|- msftrncs@htcnet.com -|- -|- Hooper Connections BBS -|- 1(402)654-2102 -|- 28.8kbps V.34 -|- -|- http://199.120.83.179/~moreese/ -|- --- Renegade v5-11 Exp * Origin: Hooper Connections BBS -Home of original {TIME}- (1:285/302) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 153 COMMO Ref: DEE00000 Date: 10/07/96 From: CHUCK SEYBOLDT Time: 05:05pm \/To: FRED BRUCKER (Read 5 times) Subj: Multiple read/write files FB> When the "F" switch was absent, the default would be file number 1 FB> (to maintain compatibility with current macros).

Fred, I have had projects where it would have been a big help to be able to have more than one file open for reading. I can't remember what those projects were and it's possible that I gave them up because it wasn't possible with the one file read/one file write structure. Your design looks fine to me because it is backward compatible. 10/05/96 09:27 ChuckyS -!- ~ JABBER v1.3a1 #a021 ~ {COMMO} a new standard in telecommunications -!- MacroBBS 4.1 beta using {COMMO} 7.0 !

David Andrews More Good News about NFBNET: David Andrews, the System operator for NFBNET writes with the following information for Internet surfers: If you have Internet access, you can now reach NFB NET, the National Federation of the Blind's official bulletin board service (BBS) from anywhere in the world at no cost. In response to many requests, we have finally put NFB NET on the Internet. You reach NFB NET using a function called Telnet. This service allows you to log in to a remote computer, namely NFB NET. We can support up to five simultaneous sessions at once, using a new digital phone service called ISDN. In addition, you can also send and receive Internet e-mail using NFB NET. If you have a shell account, type "telnet nfbnet.org" (do not include the quotes) from your Internet service provider's system prompt. After a few seconds you will be connected directly to NFB NET. While most providers now automatically give you an eight-bit Telnet path, some do not. This means that you may have difficulty uploading and downloading files. If you have problems,send e-mail to david.andrews@nfbnet.org We will try to work your problems through. If you have a SLIP or PPP account, you will have to get a Telnet client for your computer. Because of Internet limitations the smoothness of your connection can vary. Also, upload and download speeds may fluctuate and are likely to be slower than with a modem. Also,some people have reported problems downloading and particularly uploading. As we all gather more experience with these services,we will make additional information available. As if this news weren't exciting enough, it is also now possible to subscribe to NFB Talk and Blind Talk, the two Fidonet-originated discussion conferences hosted on NFB NET. Yes,as a part of the Internet upgrade we were able to install an Internet mail gateway and Listserv software. To subscribe to NFB Talk, send a message to listserv@nfbnet.org Leave the subject line blank and write "subscribe nfb-talk" (without the quotes) in the body of the message. To subscribe to Blind Talk, put "subscribe blindtlk" (without the quotes) into the body of the same or a different message. Note that one message can contain both subscribe commands. If you wish to contact NFB NET in the old-fashioned way, we still have a modem number. It is (612) 696-1975. We look forward to serving you using this new and exciting medium. We have already had callers from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Germany,Egypt, and South Africa, as well as from all over the United States. Happy Internetting. --- Maximus/2 2.02 * Origin: NFB NET St. Paul, MN (612) 696-1975 (1:282/1045) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 153 COMMO Ref: DEX00000 Date: 10/25/96 From: MACRONET GATE Time: 12:44am \/To: DAN KYSOR (Read 4 times) Subj: anyone here?
