ac> Oops.  Sorry, that should read "zone:net matching".

ac>>     E.g. I have three point addresses (3:633/267.1{at}fidonet, 
ac>> 3:635/727.4 &    3:632/103.9) all sharing the same NetArea.  
ac>> When I send netmail to    3:635/727.1, I want MsgEd to use my 
ac>> 3:635/727.4 address, and _not_    default to 3:633/267.1.

PE> That sounds messy.

ac> It shouldn't be.  FleetStreet, GoldED and timEd do this.  I'm sure other
ac> editors do as well.

It sounds like you're mucking around with the code already.
If you want to add this in yourself, please do, and send me
the code changes.

ac>>   * Read ^aAREA: line created by the WIMM personal mail scanner.
ac>>     User hits Alt+N.  User gets the area list.  Area list 
ac>> automatically    points to PUBLIC_DOMAIN.

PE> That's a very good idea.  But should it automatically select
PE> PUBLIC_DOMAIN or should it just remain highlighted there, ready
PE> for you to hit enter?

ac> I would prefer the latter for this is how GoldED and timEd work.

Ditto.

PE> anymore than you should be able to edit the MSGID.  A definite "NO"
PE> there I'm afraid.  You can set up a different origin line on an
PE> area by area basis though.

ac> Nothing like a bit of contradiction every now and again, is there? :-)

Not ditto.  :-)

PE> You can set up a different origin line on an area by area basis
PE> though.

ac> Undocumented, BTW.  Lucky I can read C. :-)

I didn't believe it was undocumented, but I looked for it and
it wasn't there.  Hey Bill!!!  Presumably I stumbled across that
in the code some time ago.

ac>>   * Alt+H for Help doesn't work anymore.  Maybe I'm too 
ac>> braindead to    know how enable it. :-)

PE> It works for me.

ac> I recompiled the DOS version with my own modifications and was able to
ac> call up the help with Alt+H, but the OS/2 version of MSQ304 refuses to
ac> budge.

The original untouched version?  It sure as hell works here, when
I'm in the reader (just reading messages).  

ac> From reading the source, there appears to be two functions - DoHelp(int)
ac> and dohelp(void).  Perhaps it is a linking problem that ties in with
ac> case-sensitivity?

Yeah, well I agree it is a silly thing to do to rely on case
sensitivity like that, so I've changed all the dohelp's to
do_helps, so we'll see if that helps.  BFN.  Paul.
