##MENU_PRINT
PRINT
Invokes the print panel, which allows printing of directories/
files, and text files, in various forms.
##MENU_USER

Invokes the User Command Editor, which allows user commands to
be added, amended or deleted. These user commands can launch
programs, AmigaDOS scripts, ARrex scripts and automatically
perform batch operations.
##MENU_FAVO
PATH STORE
Facilitates the storage, recollection and removal of pathnames
of directories frequently accessed. The idea is to save time in
accessing these directories (especially when deeply nested).
This menu item will show 'STORE PATH' when no paths are stored
in the buffers. Once a path has been added, the menu item will
change to a cycle menu item. These three functions may then be
used using the left mouse button whilst the menu is open.

copied into the source pathname gadget, and then
reads the directory into the source directory
list.
STORE PATH - Stores the current pathname from the current
source directory list.
REMOVE PATH - Opens a path list requester and allows a path to
be removed from the pathname buffer.
##MENU_PATN
PATTERN MATCH

InfoNEXUS' hide and show pattern match.
NOTE: This operation will re-read both source and destination
directories and all cached directories are lost.

disk directories are retained in
preference to all others.

all directories will read from disk as
required.
NOTE: The check empty directory option can impact the speed at
which a directory is recalled from the cache.
##MENU_SIZE
PREFS: SIZE
The size menu item has two options.
SIZE BEFORE COPY - When copying files it will determine if
all the selected files will fit onto the
destination drive. In addition the total
size of all files within a directory will

irrespective of whether there is enough
space on the destination drive.

SEQUENCE - Sort numerically on any trailling number
sequences (often used with raytracing

##MENU_REFRESH
PREFS: SCREEN UPDATE
The screen refresh menu item has two options.
SCREEN UPDATING ON - When operating on a directory, selected

operations but gives good feedback.
SCREEN UPDATING OFF - When operating on a directory, selected
files will be shown as unselected only
when the operation is complete.
##MENU_DYNAMIC
PREFS: DYNAMIC TYPING
The dynamic typing menu item has two options.
DYNAMIC TYPING ON - When selecting a file, InfoNEXUS will
interrogate the file to determine its type,
and display this instead of the file size.
DYNAMIC TYPING OFF - Selecting a file will simply highlight the
file.
NOTE: The ALL and NONE functions utilise this option, whereas
the scrolling highlight selection does not.
**SUPTYPES

password is required. (See ENVOY CONFIGURATION, FileSystem
Export, Users and Groups).
The Mount facility only allows access to devices on any machine
which is supplying the InfoNEXUS.Service. Upon selecting a
remote machine, a check will be made to determine if one or more
exported drives requires a password for access. Should a
password be required, it and your User/Group Name MUST be
entered.
A list of available drives for a given machine will be listed.
(The drive's status is shown to the right of it's name). Select
one or more drives to mount, and select either TEMPORARY or
PERMANENT to perform the mount operation. When finished the
drives will be accessible from your machine via the devices
list.

There are two flags which may be set prior to sending the mail,
INFORM WHEN READ - Inform sender when the mail has been read.
IMMEDIATE READ - The recipient MUST read the mail, as no Save
option is given.
NOTE: When using an external text editor, the filename for the
mail MUST not change, the file ram:InfoNEXUS.mail... MUST
be created for the mail send to take place.
NOTE: A file of length 0 implies the mail send is to be
canceled.
NOTE: Your favorite text editor may be used instead of the built
in text editor. See the manual under icon tooltypes. To
abort text entry when using an external text editor,
InfoNEXUS opens an ABORT requester which may be used.

to the remote machine's mail directory.
##NW_SCRGRAB
NETWORK: SCREEN GRAB
The screen grab facility allows for a snap shot of any screen
on any remote site to be taken, providing the user has allowed
screen grabbing via the 'SCREEN GRAB ENABLE' option. The snap
shot will be shown on your monitor. After viewing the screen
shot, a file requester is presented, allowing for the screen
shot to be saved.
NOTE: Grabbing an AGA mode screen on an ECS machine will force
InfoNEXUS to convert the screen shot to ECS HAM.
