Besides the backward search, there are a number of other search command characters. Here is the complete list: - Search backward. + Search forward. (Just for completeness). < Search the From: field. > Search the To: field. : Search the Subj: field. = Case-sensitive search. ! Reverse - Stop/mark when the search string(s) are NOT found. *P By default the '<', '>' and ':' search commands are enabled, so that GoldED searches all header fields. However, when one of these options are actually used, the search is limited to those only. Examples: Odinn Searches in From: and To:, but not Subj:. :tagline Search for "tagline" in the Subj: field only. The search command characters are stripped before the search is started. If you need to search for a string that begins with a search command character, you must precede it with the search string separator, like this: -|++ Search backwards for the string "++". See also ^Marking String^. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3007,Go To Message Enter the number of the message you wish to read. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3008,Message Marking You can select many different ways to mark messages.

See also: ^Memory Warning^. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 9002,Hudson Size Warning GoldED has detected that your Hudson message base is rapidly approaching a very dangerous size. If you do not run a packing utility very soon, you risk permanent damage to your message base. The absolute maximum size for your message base is a 16 MB big MSGTXT.BBS file (65536 records of 256 bytes). This is approximately 16000 messages of average size. The GOLDED.CFG keyword HUDSONSIZEWARN defines the size when GoldED starts displaying this warning screen. Press to continue. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 9008,Hudson/Goldbase Index Errors Your message base index files are out of synchronization. The number of records in MSGHDR.* does not match the number of records in either MSGIDX.* or MSGTOIDX.* (or both). GoldED cannot continue until the index files are rebuilt. Please run a message base index rebuild utility immediately. Press to exit. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 9009,Memory Warning You are dangerously low on memory. If you proceed now, you may get kicked out later with an "Out of memory" error. Watch the memory meter on the status line - if it gets under 20-30k, you may experience strange lockups. To correct this situation, run GoldED with more free memory or use the -O commandline option or GEDCMD environment variable to decrease the overlay size. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- END OF HELP FILE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
