Your tearline says GoldED. Is that what you used to        AI>> write that message?               AA> Yes.. it invokes GoldED.              Interesting, it invokes golded in a web interface. Sounds like Thomas has put a        lot of effort into it. It would be good if he could get the "." between your       first and last name out.               AA> I am not too familiar with it, but it seems to have many editing        AA> options. I've only used it briefly when I was experimenting with        AA> invoking an external editor with Apoint. I'm spoiled with OXP and        AA> working locally, but this real-time webpoint method feels very        AA> different from anything else. A little internet delay when typing is        AA> to be expected.               AA> Like Thomas said, this method doesn't require any extraneous programs        AA> at all.              Yep, sounds like a usefull setup. Is that your own point address?              I have thought about doing something similar. My idea was to give folks ssh       access. If folks are comfortable with an ssh shell they could edit files and       set envirnments as they please and once their configuration is done they can       run golded (or any editor) to read and reply to messages. If they are not       comfortable in the shell I could setup a golded.cfg for them and set their       shell to golded so when they log in golded fires up for them and when they       leave it shuts down.              That's how I am logged in now. No delay at all as I type.               AA> Full bbs-like options are available: file-requests, netmail,        AA> re-routing netmail, etc (mostly provided by the GoldEd features).              Yep, golded is a handy editor. There was nothing to compare it to when Odin       first started on it.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 57/0 90/1 153/250 154/10 203/0 220/70 221/0 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 267/800 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 288/100 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 340/1000 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 712/848 770/0 1 100 330 340 772/0 1 500 2452/250       PATH: 153/757 250 770/1 280/464 229/426           |
