By pressing (or ), you also go to the next area. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3005,Copy/Move/Forward Copy Copy message(s) to another area Move Move message(s) to another area Forward Forward this message. Copy and Move never changes the content of the affected message(s). Move deletes the original message(s), so be careful when using this feature. If you select Forward, you are asked for the destination area, and you will be able to change the header data. A template-defined message is inserted at the top of the message. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3006,Find String * Four different pattern matching algorithms to chose from: Plain (same as always). Shell-style wildcard matching (using * and ?). Regex. Uses the FSF extended regular expression library. Fuzzy matching. Like plain, but allows one or more mismatches. * Logic expressions with "and", "or", "not" can be used. * Spaces and option characters can be included in patterns. * Exclude or include kludges, tagline, tearline, origin, signature. - Search backward. Must be first character, if used. + Search forward (default). Must be first character, if used. ! Logic not (match when NOT found). & Logic and (match this AND that). | Logic or (match this OR that). < Match "from" header field. > Match "to header field. : Match "subject" header field. # Match message body (but not any control lines). . Match tagline. _ Match tearline. * Match origin line. @ Match signature. % Match kludges/headerlines. = Match case-sensitive (defaults to not case-sensitive). ' Do not match. Place after an option. ^^ Toggle match. Place after an option. ?p Plain search (default). ?r Regex search. ?w Wildcard search. ?f Fuzzy search with one mismatch allowed. ?f2 Fuzzy search with two mismatches allowed. ?f3 Fuzzy search with three mismatches allowed. You can enclose a pattern string with double ("") or single ('') quotes if you want to match a sentence with spaces or which contains option characters. The backslash is a literal-escape character. If a backslash is found, the next character is treated as part of the pattern, not as an option character. Use this for example to search for a sentence with quotes and spaces. Spaces are used as separation characters and are ignored, except when enclosed in quotes. The first set of option characters on a search expression line is used as the "global default". The next set of option characters is bound to the following pattern. A pattern is completed by the end of the line or by the logic options '&' or '|'. If none of the options '<', '>' or ':' are used in the global default part, the default is to search all three. Some examples: To search for the authors name, allowing most common misspellings: ?f1 odinn (matches odin, odinn, oddin, odiin etc) To search for OS/2 and Warp 4: OS/2 & "Warp 4" To search for any occurrance of Odinn or Dirk in the from-line: < Odinn | Dirk To search for zip file announcements using wildcard matching: ?w "*.zip*" To search case-sensitive for some string: = "All Comes To Those Who Wait" Some regular expression searches: ?r "Warp *4" (matches both "Warp 4" and "Warp4") ?r "OS/*2" & "Warp *4" NOTE: A common mistake is to forget to escape or quote-enclose option characters in pattern strings. For example, what's wrong with this, if you want to search for zip files: ?w *.zip* Nothing, but the first '*' is interpreted as if you want to search in origin lines, which is not what you want. 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. If you select "Your mail", all messages that contain your name in the From, To or Subject fields will be marked. Marked messages, can be Copied, Moved, Deleted or Written to a disk file or printer. GoldED has a special "read marked" mode, toggled by , with which you can read the marked messages only. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3009,Marking String Enter the string(s) you want messages marked from. The syntax of the marking string function is the same as the regular find function. See also ^Find String^. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3010,Message Lister Esc Abort message lister Home First message End Last message Right Next message Left Previous message Alt-S Go to Marking menu Ctrl-B Switch between wide and narrow subject column.

If you decide to write to the Print Device, you must make sure that it is turned on and ready to receive data. In the present version, GoldED uses DOS calls to send the data to the device, and if the device fails for some reason, you will get ugly Dos messages and prompts plastered all over the nice GoldED screen. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 3013,File Requesting The menu is a list of the files found in the current msg. To filerequest one or more of these, you have mark them by pressing when the cursor bar sits on the desired file(s). Press to send the request. You will be asked for the destination system of the request, defaulting to the originator of the original msg. You can send the request with or without an accompanying msg. A FILES.BBS will be created, containing the names and descriptions (if any). NOTE: Only as many files as can fit in the subject can be requested at the same time. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 4000,Header Editing You are editing the message header. move around with the cursorkeys, and . You can quit the message by pressing . If you press in the subject field, or anywhere, you end the header editing, and proceed to the editor menu. In netmail areas, you can use the nodelist lookup and address macro feature by entering a partial address or last name in the "TO:" name or address fields. In echo/local areas, only the address macros work. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 4001,Delete Original Message Do you want to delete the message you have just replied to? You can turn off this menu by setting the configuration keyword "ASKDELORIG" in GOLDED.CFG to "No". *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 4002,Read Only Area You are trying to write a message in "Read Only" area. Please think twice before answering Yes.. It is probably a better idea to reply in netmail or in another area. If you want to do reply in another area, press instead. *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 4003,Send Via Zonegate The message destination is in another Zone. The INTL kludge will be inserted in your message (if USEINTL is enabled), but you must now decide if the message should be sent directly to the destination or via the established Zonegate. Zonegates have the address *E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *B 4004,Carbon Copy The message contained a Carbon Copy list. You can make GoldED process the list and generate the Carbon Copy messages, you can change the format of the CC list and change the attributes of the CC 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
