2891.0. "t.1.2.7 new feature questions" by COOQUE::LUNT () Thu Apr 30 1992 03:24

Hello,


I have the following questions to new features that are described in the
release notes:


a.
	In VT1.2.7 ( External Field  Update ) release notes under the 
"software notes for management modules" section 4.1.1.1 Map Window point
number 4 "Navigation Window"


	"Find- Works at subentity as well as global level"

Exactly what does it mean by subentity level and what is the syntax in 
which to use this feature?


b. 
 
	In VT1.2.7 ( External Field  Update ) release notes under the 
"software notes for management modules" section 4.1.1.1 Map Window point
number 5 "Applications Menu"

	"Also allows the user to add their own applications to the menu"

I can't seem to find the menu item or a customization option in which
to add an application to the menu. Is the procedure documented anywhere?



Thanks in advance,

Julie Ann

	In v1.2 the find operation only worked if the contents of the 
	map was a domain.  Now it works for any level.  (e.g., open
	domain foo, lookinto node4 xxx, find line xxx)

	It should be in the documentation.  If it isn't I know it is in
	the current version.  

	To add an application you exit mcc_resource.dat and 

	1. Update mcc_pml.applications: resource to include the
	   text that is to go into the menu.  

	2. Add the resource 
		mcc_pml.applications.<text entered above>.vms_command: <command to invoke>

	Use the FCL application in mcc_resource.dat as an example.

    Hi Jim,
    
    	Thanks for the quick answers.
    
    	About the adding applications: You mean one has to actually edit
    the resourc.dat file. I guess from the new features description that
    there would be an option under applications or customize in the iconic
    map. Is this planned? Can it be added to the "V1.3" wish list?
