3603.0. "force MAIL CREATE to use WPSPLUS" by CROCKE::YUEN (Banquo Yuen, Darwin Australia) Tue Nov 30 1993 09:04

Hello

In an ALL-IN-1 application, it provides READ, PRINT & SEND option
on an object (in particular is an activity log in the customer site).

In the customer environment, some nodes have WordPerfect and some don't,
but they all have WPSPLUS.  Some users choose EDT as default, some choose
WPSPLUS and some WPCORP.

I have created a boilerplate so that READ and PRINT and hopefully SEND
can use it.

For READ, the following line works fine

LIST <MERGE CHCL_BODY

For PRINT, in order to maintain the attribute of the
the text of that object (bold, underline ... etc), I have to change
everything to WPSPLUS format like this

...
MERGE CHCL_BODY,OA$TEMP:CHCL_PRINT.WPL\
GET #PRINT_FILE = "OA$TEMP:CHCL_PRINT.WPL"\
DO WPPRINT\
...

However, for SEND, how can I force the mail to be in WPSPLUS format,
I do this

MAIL CREATE/OPEN/NOSEND/TEMPLATE=CHCL$LIB:CHCL_BODY.WPL/NOEDIT

It doesn't work, the document type for that mail is the default editor
for that user.

??? How can I force the mail to be in WPSPLUS format without changing
    the user's default editor in between?

??? In ALL-IN-1 Application Programming Reference Volume 2 Page 361,
    the description of /EDT[=edit-ini-spec] qualifier for MAIL CREATE
    said:

    The /EDT qualifier uses the ALL-IN-1 editor. ....

    What is "the ALL-IN-1 editor"?

It is ALL-IN-1 V3.0-1 or V3.0A I am talking about.

Thanks
Banquo

	Hi, The /EDT parameter is no good for you - it forces an ASCII file. But what about the /FNAME parameter. With this you specify the filename, and you can give it a .WPL file extension. I tried: MAIL CREATE/OPEN/NOSEND/fname=x.wpl/TEMPLATE=OA$TEMP:CHCL_PRINT.WPL/NOEDIT and it seemed to work. Cheers Stuart
