440.0. "three suggestions on desired functions" by CX3PST::ANASAZ::J_BECKER (There's no substitute for a good boot) Tue Oct 18 1994 19:28

User wanted me to pass to the developers three suggestions


	1) SET HOST function from the C3	

	2) In MONITOR, allow the cursor to be placed in the 
		console stream and be used like an read only 
		editor (ie screen scrolling, search, etc...)

	3) allow pasting part of the MONITOR window to an 
		an output file.  This is important with
	 	character cell terminals running MONITOR.
		They have no way to past part of the window
		outside of extract.

John,

  Thanks for the feedback...

  SET HOST will be implemented for the next release, as for
  the others, we will add these to our wish list.

Cheers,
Phil

As far as I can tell, you modify the default
control keys by turning on the C3 editor and selecting
MODIFY option from one of the node icons.  Can we move 
this editing feature to the OPTIONS menu at the C3 menu 
bar instead.  It appears the change affects all nodes 
and such global changes should be done at the main 
window options.  Perhaps under GENERAL.

thanks

    John,
    
       If I remember correctly, the control keys are definable on a per
    node basis. You can verify this by turning on the debug option. The 
    C3 creates a subprocess with 'console connect nodename/break=ctrl_a'.
    If this is not working, please let us know.

440.4CSC32::BUTTERWORTHGun Control is a steady hand.Tue Oct 25 1994 21:5012
    Dave,
      Unfortunately the changes are global. In other words if we set
    NODEA's break key to CTRL_K it changes *ALL* nodes to CTRL_K. Ideally
    we want these selections to be node specific so that we could allow
    CTRL_P, for example, to send a BREAK on those systems that require BREAK
    to halt the system and on those that need ctrl-P it will just pass
    the character through. I know Phil has already mentioned that the 
    nomenclature will change so that the user will select a "HALT" key and
    character/sequence.
    
    Regs,
      Dan

    Bummer. I'll get something into the next patch kit that will fix this.

Well,

  I have just tried this and when I set the break key for one node,
  it only applies to that node. However, the problem is actually that
  the C3 isnt setting the value of the option menu so that it correctly
  reflects the users selection. We will get this fixed.

Cheers,
Phil
440.7Just restart the C3ZENDIA::DBIGELOWInnovate, Integrate, EvaporateWed Oct 26 1994 14:514
    Just tell the user to do a save and the next time the C3 comes up, the
    correct values will be displayed.
