READ THE ORIGINAL "AREAFIXMAN.DOC" DOC FILE
-------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
Copy AFM/#? to REXX:Spot/AFM. The INSTALL icon will do just that!
The rexx script you must have spot execute is 'AFManager.spot'
PLEASE NOTE:
AFManager's editor defaults to "Rexx:Spot/StartCed.spot". If you wish to
use something else, you will have to edit the source file. Look for the
line 'EDITOR="Rexx:..." in the AFManager.spot file, just make sure your
editor sticks to the CLI.
WHAT'S NEW (From Areafixman):
- You can now start AFM from anywhere within SPOT. AFM will remember if
you started it from a message.
- Adding areas from a message now works!
To use this feature, start AFM from a message containing the
areanames you wish to attach. When prompted for an attach method,
select MESSAGE. AFM will start your editor so you can add a '~' in
front of the areanames you wish to attach. Quit the editor to return
to AFM. The character is configurable, look in the doc file.
- AFManager can also retrieve areanames from a textfile. Just follow
the steps outlined above but select FILE when prompted for an
attach method.
- When creating a new preference entry, the requesters will default to
the last entry's content.
- If you don't have a valid prefs file, AFM will ask you if you wish to
create a new one right away. No need to quit AFM anymore.
- AFM now asks if you wish to announce your departure everytime you
detach an area. The ANNOUNCE line in the prefs file is kept for
future compatibility.
- You can add extra %Options for Crystalfix or password options for other
Areafix programs.
