Hi, Bob.

BL>  FM> Er, how? How do you propose to run a batch file which calls up

BL>  BL> No... I thought if you set the useage log as the default, then

BL>  BL> other defaults.

BL>  FM> It's not really setting a default, Alt-O actually causes the
BL>  FM> log file to be opened at that point.

BL>   You silly bugger. You're confused again, aren't you? You've been at
BL> the furniture polish instead of the Glenfiddich. It's sad to see a
BL> pedant go this way...

Alt-Z is really a very minimal help, and I didn't spot the Alt-U
combination.

BL>   Alt-O is to cOnfigure Telix, where I meant you to set the default
BL> useage log to ON. To switch the Usage log you use Alt-U.

Thank you.

BL>   The odd part is that when I used Alt-O to cOnficur Telix so that the
BL> usage log default was ON, it was not ON when I ran the TinyPoint
BL> script on it.

Strange. Dieter seems to think it does.

BL>  BL> It doesn't, btw.

BL>  FM> No, I knew that. :-)

BL>   It sounds like it was the only thing you *did* know. You certainly
BL> managed to get he rest comprehensively stuffed up with dogshit between
BL> the ears.

Actually I didn't know that even. I was still thinking of Alt-O at that
point. So what's the verdict? Does it or doesn't it? Alt-U that is.
Dieter?

Not that the logs are of any use anyway.

Regards, FIM.
