1022.0. "Tip - quick display of INBOX" by IOSG::MAURICE (Ceci n'est pas une note) Fri Jul 10 1992 12:29

    Here is a feature I have discovered by accident recently that may be
    useful to someone:
    
    For a long time I have had a set-up so that when I enter ALL-IN-1 it
    automatically arrives in the INBOX with all messages in my INBOX
    displayed and selected, ready for an XR. What I didn't realise until
    now is that even after I've entered ALL-IN-1 I can have this repeated just
    by typing GOLD M from any menu. So from WP, for example, I can in two
    keystokes bring up my INBOX with everything selected. To set up this
    way I have put "EMC II ALL" in the Main Screen field on the Set Working
    Conditions form. I believe there is a down-side in that Time Management
    reminders will then not display on entry to ALL-IN-1.
    
    Cheers

1022.1Tip - abort current script in debuggerIOSG::TALLETTArranging bits for a living...Fri Jul 10 1992 12:3727
    
    	While we're on Stuart's tips, here's one he told me about that
    	I like a lot.
    
    	In the script debugger, you're stepping through a malfunctioning
    	script, and you see what the problem is. Now you want to stop
    	executing the current script and return to the menu (ie ABORT
    	the current script). I looked into implementing this in the
    	debugger but ran out of time. Stuart's tip is to use an invalid
    	script command which signals an error and aborts the current
    	script:
    
    ...inside a long script....
    DEBUG [5]: GET #foo= "BAR"
    
    A1DBG> <.
    Invalid script command "."
    
    A1DBG> step
    
    ...and you're back in the menu
    
    	Definitely a trick, but actually not much different to the way
    	an ABORT command would be implemented in the debugger.

1022.2 Easy read of first messagePRESS1::HOWARDOur business is computers not moneyFri Jul 10 1992 19:2318
    RE: .1

    This is what I was using to automatically read my first UNREAD message. 
    I put this into OAINI.SCP:

    .FX OA$FLO_OPEN_LIB USER
    .FX SET_MENU PGMR
    .FX FORM EMC
    .IF OA$MAIL_COUNT == 0 THEN .EXIT
    EM II ALL {CR}
    XR {CR}

    (The first two lines are unrelated to reading mail.)  I also have
    F20.UDP defined to do the same thing.  Mobilizer hates it as OAINI.SCP,
    so I disabled it recently.  But there were several Mobilizer questions
    on the laptop pretest.
