Paul, at 09:02 on Jul 21 1995, you wrote to Bill Grimsley...

BG> 1. You can now only exit from the area list with Esc, not Alt-X any more.

PE> I told you this.

I know you did, but that still doesn't mean that I have to like the change.

BG> 2. The "areas" keyword no longer appears to function.

PE> What is that supposed to do again?

Christ, you're the programmer, you should know that...

readkey 0x0061 areas   ; a = bring up Areas list (3.1)

Same result as Alt-A, but with a single keypress of "a" (lower
case only).  Or it used to be.  Sure isn't now though.

BG> 3. Where is the current time supposed to be and how do I activate it?

PE> I posted that doco here a few days ago!  "switch showtime on".

Oh yeah, format 1995-07-22 07:14:52.  Urk!  Whatever happened to DD-MM-YY
and the 24 hour time that you said like so much (i.e. 0714) ?

That hasn't recurred since the first time I tried it.  Apart from the exit
and faulty "areas" problems, it seems to be working quite well so
far.
