Oh dear, i have got brain-fade yet again!
Within EM$INDEX$OPTIONS, the code for eg. "IR" does a quick test to
see if there is anything with a folder of "READ", and then loads
OA$MENU_REMAINDER with the string "INDEX_READ_FOLDER " plus the old
contents of that symbol.
Thus "INDEX_READ_FOLDER summat" gets passed back to the menu-parser,
but what interprets this string? I cannot work out how further
processing is done or where the menu option INDEX_READ_FOLDER is stored.
It is probably very obvious, but please can someone explain in simple
terms - it must be the cold weather freezing my brain cells,
Cheers,
mb
p.s.
Named Data segment below ...
;;OA$_MO_READ_FOLDER;; IR
GET #OLD_DRAWER = #EM_PRVDWR\OA$MAIL_SET_DRAWER\
FOR FIRST CAB$ WITH .FOLDER == #READFOLDER
DO OA$FLD_EXIT \\
CLOSE_PRIOR\\
OA$MAIL_RESET_DRAWER\\
GET #EM_PRVDWR = #OLD_DRAWER\\
GET OA$MENU_REMAINDER = "INDEX_READ_FOLDER " OA$MENU_REMAINDER \
IFEXIT\ ^
OA$MAIL_RESET_DRAWER\ |
GET #EM_PRVDWR = #OLD_DRAWER\ +----- What processes this value?
GET OA$MENU_REMAINDER = ''\
GET OA$DISPLAY = OA$_EM_EMPTY_READ

Hi,
The Named data for "INDEX_READ_FOLDER" and others has been well hidden
from prying eyes. If you promise not to tell anyone else, all is
revealed on form FC1.
And now, ta da, back from the dead, please give a warm welcome to:
Winton !!
Well thanks Stu! A good scottish namee if I ever heard one !
I'd just like to thank Dave Tyldsley for signing me through the
door...
Anyway... I canna remember why I wrote it like that, except it had
something to do with the need to swap between WP drawer context, EM
drawer context, and switch backwards and forwards between the 'mail'
drawer 'indexes'... Anyway, if anyonee wants to buy me a Laphroaig or
two..
Cheers,
Winton

Phew! you are right, there they are, sitting on the form that you said - i'll not mention it by name, 'cos its a secret! I think i understand how it all works now - i never thought that you would be dropping out of the bottom if the current index form and going back into the new one! Maybe i need a few Laphroaigs myself to make it all clearer ;^) thanks for the pointer, and have a happy crimble, mb | |||||

actually since FC1 is a /MORE to both EMC and WP it seems a good
place to put things that might be common to be both subsystems.
