o File-Requester -- now, when you click on one of the file entries,
it becomes highlighted. If you click on a highlighted entry, it 'selects'
that file. If you click the _right_ mouse button, a list of devices and
logical devices will appear in the file area (appended to the bottom of
the file/directory-list).
o DEFINE -- several variables in the Phone-Book are now saved/loaded
in the '.def' file. Some of which are: multi-dial on/off, auto-redial
on/off, do-script on/off, get-keys on/off, get-colors on/off and the
_currently_ selected number. These items do NOT show up on the DEFINE
window, but you should be aware that they ARE saved/loaded.
IMPORTANT!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: the first time you run this new version, you should set up
the entire enviroment (chat on/of, interlace on/off and every other
feature of the term (including the new phone-book options)) and SAVE
a new '.def' file from the DEFINE window.
With these new variables being saved, you can now boot the term
and (if you have it set up correctly) hit R-Amiga '=' (redial) and
be online with a minimum of fuss.
o 'rd' -- rd (the text file reader program) will now give you a FILE
gadget (to open a file-requester) _IF_ you have 'arp.library' n your
LIBS: directory. If you don't have 'arp.library' in your LIBS: dir,
'rd' will still work, but it wont have a FILE gadget (you can only read
one file at a time).
o Scripts -- I've added 2 commands to let you download files using
Xmodem or WXmodem using scripts. These commands were added at the last
minute (on my way to LA AmiExpo) and are as yet 'un-tested' (!) use them
at your own risk. See "Script.doc" for the format of these commands.
I have also changed the priority of the script feature a bit...
they should now keep up fine at 2400 baud.
A few minor bugs were also fixed... the auto-multi-redial (whatever)
should be working fine now (fingers crossed) and the triple line feed
problem (when a certain one of the two gadget-bars was at the top of the
screen) has been fixed as well.
Enjoy,
Keith
