Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

    I'm not sure what Q4 has to do with much in this topic.  Until the
    company gets rid of the many thousands of bozos in middle management
    who place numbers and their careers ahead of the customers' interests
    then there is little point in worrying about survival.  Afterall, we
    have the BO types to worry about numbers, right?     :')

    Anyway, back to our story.  Following the <ff> is a crude script that
    does what you seem to want.

    I hope that it helps.

    Keep the faith,

    ! FORWARD_LAST.SCP              Forward last attachment of current message
    !

    ! Save the current message context

            GET #ATTFILE = ''

            .IF #ATTFILE EQS '' THEN .GOTO NO_ATTACH
    !
    !               We now have the pointer to the last attachment - file it

            DISPLAY There are no attachments to this message
            .GOTO FINI
    .LABEL FILE_FAILED
            DISPLAY Unable to file the message
    !
    .LABEL FINI
            MAIL GET #EM_CURMES
            .EXIT
    !
    ! [End]

    Thanks for the prompt response.
    
    On invoking the script (I put it into a UDP) I get the display:
    "Invoking UDP......." but then the cursor returns to the CHOICE field
    and nothing else happens.
    
    Am I missing something ? (I am calling the UDP from the EMC form)

    That's because Don gave you a DO script and UDPs are SCRIPT scripts!
    Far from obvious!!
    
    Anyway to circumvent the problem delete your UDP and make another one
    which has one line:
    
    .fx do forward_last
    
    In SCRIPT scripts the processor is expecting to simulate what the user
    types in. But there is special processing of lines beiginning with
    script directives such as .FX (they all begin with .)
    
    The .fx tells the script processor to execute the rest of the line as
    an ALL-IN-1 function. DO is an ALL-IN-1 function that will execute a DO
    script, such as Don's forward_last.
    
    I hope this will be beginning of many happy hours of ALL-IN-1
    programming for you, rather than having put you off for life!
    
    Cheers

I agree that it is best to forward only the relevant attachments but when
this isn't done do you fully utilize the navigation facilities available
during a Read?

In ALL-IN-1 V2.4 these are:

    DOWN ARROW		move forward one line
    UP ARROW		move backward one line

    NEXT SCREEN		move forward one screen
    PREV SCREEN		move backward one screen

    GOLD DOWN ARROW	move forward to next page
    GOLD UP ARROW	move backward to previous page (or top of current 
    			page)

    NA			move forward to next attachment
    PA			move backward to previous attachment (or top of
    			current attachment)

    GOLD T		Move to top of message
    GOLD B		Move to bottom of last attachment



Therefore to move quickly to the last attachment you only need to type:

    GOLD B	to move to the bottom of the last attachment, and
    PA		to move to the top of this attachment




ALL-IN-1 V3.0 has all the V2.4 options plus:

    NSC			move forward one screen [same as NEXT SCREEN]
    PSC			move backward one screen [same as PREV SCREEN]

    NP			move forward to next page [same as GOLD DOWN ARROW]
    PP			move backward to previous page (or top of current 
    			page) [same as GOLD UP ARROW]


ALL-IN-1 V3.0 allows a replication count to be specified.  For example,
typing 5 NEXT-SCREEN will move forward by 5 screens. 
    

ALL-IN-1 V3.0 supports searching for text strings with the following 
options:

    FIND or TS		Displays a menu to specify the search text and
			direction 

    <text>FIND		Allows a short text string to be specified without 
			displaying the menu - the search is performed in
			the current direction 

    GOLD FIND or CTS	Searches for the current text in the current 
			direction

    For those confused by Don's humour in .1 - I have since changed the
    note title of the base note from "need help surviving Q4" or something
    like that.

    And a final question....where do I put the script file itself ?
    
    BTW, I DO use all the short cuts mentioned - I still actually spend
    more time going through the "pre-reading" than reading the useful text,
    in a significant proportion of messages.
    
    Happy Easter !

    
    Martin,

    The script file would go in your ALL-IN-1 directory...
    
    HETYT - That's "Happy Easter To You Too"!!,

    Just to finish this note properly, the script in 500.1 actually works
    (thanks Don !). I don't mean it just forwards the last attachment, I
    mean it is saving me and my colleagues a significant amount of time in
    our daily work. Good value ! :-}
