Activating Visual Notification in Graphics Mode
Notework operates in text mode on the screen and places its visual
notification in the upper right corner as a text character. You may set a
parameter to indicate that visual notification is also to be attempted when
the user is in graphics mode. The exact type of change will vary with the
application that put the display into graphics mode; a horizontal line is a
typical indicator. Set the VL parameter to control this option.
Setting Meaning
VL=ON Users in Graphics mode now see some sort of change
in upper right corner when they receive a note.
VL=OFF There is no visible notification except in text mode.
This is the default.
To set the parameter on a permanent basis for an individual user, edit that
user's <username>.NWC file using your favorite text editor. Here are the
steps:
1. Login as Supervisor.
2. Use the NWMBOX utility to obtain the path to the mailbox
directory for <username>.
3. Change directories to the path obtained in Step 2.
4. Edit the <username>.NWC file using the text editor of your choice. If the
file does not exist, then create it.
5. Check the file to see if the parameter is already set, in which case
change the value. If the parameter VL is not set, go to the bottom of
the file and add the line VL=<value>.
6. Save the file as an ASCII file.
7. The new value will take effect when that user unloads and reloads
Notework. Use the REMOVENW utility to remove Notework from memory.
To set the parameter for all users who choose not to override it, place the
appropriate VL=<value> line in the SYS.NWC file in the Notework system
directory.
For additional information on SYS.NWC and how to modify it, see
the help topic "System-Wide Parameter Files".
To disable visual notification entirely, see the help topic "Disabling
Visual Notification".
