Is OpenXP Windows        >> software, as opposed to DOS and does it support that ?              EV>I started using SLMR but switched to MultiMail DOS when I noticed long       messag        >got cut off after IIRC 153 lines, PLUS long Taglines got cut off too when       sav        >to the TAGLINE.MR file.              What I find recently is an attempt to save a Tagline pops up the       blank line and I have to type it in myself. I was pretty sure it       didn't used to do that..              In another conference one fellow (OGG) found a message I'd posted       was totally messed up, lines out of order and some left off, but       my message was nothing near 153 lines, more like 50 or so..              EV>I am 'thinking' when I used SLMR it had a option to Paste the Clipboard into        >message.        >SLMR used EDIT as a message editor and I learned that I could Open another        >session of EDIT , Write or Paste something from Notepad I copied from, and        >paste it in the second copy of EDIT, do what I wanted to modify and add to       it        >then highlight and Copy what I wished to Paste in the SLMR EDIT window and       Sa        >that contents so SLMR could put it in a .REP file.              I use QuickEdit with my SLMR.. I hadn't though of trying a second       copy opened to see what I can do. I know hitting Print Block didn't       really do anything.              One thing I may have to try out is I can split screen in QuickEdit       and possibly there's a way to save the extra screen outside of SLMR       (But I have my doubts)..              I think things running in DOS Box are too far removed from Windows       to transfer anything over. That said, it was mostly copy and pasting       text INTO a message that I was looking to do most often, although       the odd time I do copy something out of a message, and if it's any       length at all, with SLMR Open, I go to the SLMR Folder in Windows       and into the Work/Messages.dat file and I load that into my basic       Windows editor (Win32pad) and search for the text I wanted to copy       and then clean it up..              ---        * SLMR Rob * This job sucks, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 712/848 902/26 2320/0 105 304 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 229/426           |
