Introduction
</head>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ is a successor of the wellknown <name/GoldED/ mail editor
originally written by <name/Odinn Sorensen/.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ is run under <name/DOS/ with 32-bit <abbr/DPMI/ driver,
<name/Microsoft Windows/, <name>IBM OS/2</name>, <name/Linux/,
<name/FreeBSD/, <name/QNX/, and <name/BeOS/. There should be no serious
problem to compile it on other <name/UNIX/-like systems running on
<name/Intel/ <name/80x86/ architecture. Unlike the original version of
<name/GoldED/, <name/GoldED+/ is not supported on CPUs lower than
<name/80386/.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ takes his history from the patch collection made by
<name/Alexander Aganichev/. A lot of code was contributed to
<name/GoldED+/ by different people around the world. At least,
<name/GoldED+/ contains portions of code written by the core team of
<name/GoldED/ (<name/Odinn Sorensen/, <name>Dirk A. Mueller</name>, and
<name/Leonid Lisovsky/), <name/Mike Smedley/, <name/Pavel Gulchouck/,
<name/Denis Zavorotny/, <name/Alexander Batalov/, <name/Eugene Roshal/,
<name/Igor Vanin/, <name/Alexey Froloff/, <name/Andrew Shakhmatov/,
<name/Roman Trunov/, <name/Alex Druinsky/, <name>Alexander
Tsvyashchenko</name>, <name/Pavel Tsekov/, <name/Alexander Reznikov/,
<name/Siarzhuk Zharski/ and
(of course) by the maintainers of <name/GoldED+/ (<name>Alexander
Aganichev</name> and <name/Jacobo Tarrio/). Some portions of code was
taken from C/C++ snippets collected by <name/Bob Stouts/ (personal thanks
goes to <name/Thad Smith/, <name/Raymond Gardner/, <name/Jeff Dunlop/,
<name/Mark G. Mendel/, <name/Gary S. Brown/, <name/John Rex/, and
<name/Walter Bright/) and some other from <name/GNU/ libraries
(thanks goes to <name/GNU/ C library maintainers, <name/Rob Swindell/,
<name/Frank Pilhofer/, <name/Haruhiko Okumura/, <name>Haruyasu
Yoshizaki</name>, <name/SLang/ maintainers, <name/TIN/ maintainers, and
<name/Eric Newton/). Also, there are portions of code which are courtesy
of various FTN software authors: <name/Scott J. Dudley/ and <name>Lanius
Corporation</name>, <name/Bit Bucket Software/, <name/Husky Team/,
<name/Thomas Waldmann/, <name/Peter Davies/, <name/Ron Clark/,
<name/Tobias Burchhardt/, <name/Andreas Klein/, <name>Folkert J.
Wijnstra</name>, <name/Gerard J. van der Land/, <name/Peter Stewart/ and

Additionally, permission is hereby specifically given to link

<name/GPL/, <name/LGPL/, <name/BSD/, <name/X Consortium/,

<name/MozPL/.
</p>
<p>
The additional permission to link with <name>non-GPL/LGPL</name> software
may be slightly controversial. The intent is to allow developers a
greater freedom to create specialized versions of GoldED. Examples could
be a <abbr/GUI/ <name/KGoldED/ linked with <name/QT/, a <name/MozGoldED/
mail/news component for <name/Mozilla/ using <name/NGLayout/ for
displaying <abbr/HTML/, a <name/GoldED+/ with an embedded <name/Perl/
scripting engine or whatever. However, we cannot allow the core
<name/GoldED+/ or <name/Goldware Library/ to be dependent on these
specialized versions, so developers should take care to make their
specialized modifications modular and <q/stubifiable/ if necessary.
</p>
<p>
Parts of the <name/Goldware Library/ is derived from the source of the
old shareware <name/CXL/ 5.2 library by <name/Mike Smedley/, from which
<name/Odinn Sorensen/ bought a source license many years ago.
<name/Odinn/ has made very extensive modifications (for example, the
original was <name/DOS/ only), but much code is essentially unchanged
(<code/gwin*.cpp/). <name/CXL/ was taken over from <name/Mike Smedley/
by <name/Innovative Data Concepts/ (<name/IDC/), which renamed it
<name/TCXL/ and continued development along somewhat different lines,
which <name/Odinn/ did not agree with (or at least not easily port
<name/GoldED/ to). However, it seems that <name/TCXL/ never really became
successful. At least <name/Odinn/ could not find anything new about
<name/TCXL/ and <name/Innovative Data Concepts/ on the <name/Internet/
(as of november 15, 1998). <name/Odinn/ could not even find
<name/IDC/'s website, so in this day and age where any succesful business
has a website, <name/Odinn/ suspects that they no longer exist.
<name/Odinn/ even tried to find <name/Mike Smedley/, but apparently he
has vanished off the face of the earth, or has lost interest in
programming entirely. <name/Odinn/ found some postings (on
<name/DejaNews/) on a sports newsgroup by a <name/Mike Smedley/, but
he doubts that it's the same guy.
</p>
<p>
So, even though parts of the <name/Goldware Library/ technically are
still copyrighted by <name/Mike Smedley/, <name/Odinn/ see so serious
problems in using them. If anyone should happen to know <name>Mike
Smedley</name> and how to contact him, <name/Odinn Sorensen/ would very
much appreciate to get the information, so we can clear up this issue.

<head>
The Message Database Formats
</head>
<div2>
<head>
Opus, FTS-0001
</head>
<p>
These are two variants of the same type of msgbase. It works by using
one physical file per message (<code/1.msg/, <code/2.msg/ etc.),
collecting them in a directory for each area. Depending on the
clustersize on the harddisk, this can be a very wasteful and slow
way to store messages. With a clustersize of about 512 bytes, the
waste may be acceptable, but the access speed can be dramatically
slow if there are many <code/*.msg/ files, due to the file system.
Cache adjustments can improve it, but there are limits.
</p>
<p>
In echomail areas, this format has a special quirk: The first message
(<code/1.msg/) is normally used to store the so-called
<q/highwatermark/. The highwatermark tells the echomail processor
where it should start scanning for new messages entered by users.
By deleting (zapping) the highwatermark, you can make the echomail
processor re-scan the whole area again. This may cause messages to
be sent out as <q/dupes/, so this should be used sparingly and
carefully, if at all! The highwatermark can also be <q/heated/ -
which means that it is set to the last msg in the area. This
prevents the echomail processor from finding newly entered
unscanned msgs. Use with care.
</p>
<p>
The variants: The <name/Opus/ format originated in the <name/Opus/
<abbr/BBS/ system. It put some <name/Fido/ undocumented (?) fields to
use as date/time stamps. The <name/FTS-0001/ (defined in FTS-0001,
revision 12 and later) format uses the undocumented fields to set the
zone/point information for the message. To the authors knowledge, the
<name/Opus/ variant is the dominant, and the <name/FTS-0001/ variant
is doomed to oblivion. If in doubt, use the <name/Opus/ format.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QuickBBS, RemoteAccess, and Hudson
</head>
<p>
This msgbase format was invented by <name/Adam Hudson/, and was first
used in his <name/QuickBBS/ package. Later several other
<abbr/BBS/'es were cloned from <name/QuickBBS/ (like
<name/RemoteAccess/ and <name/SuperBBS/).
</p>
<p>
The format limits the total size of <code/msgtxt.bbs/ to a maximum of
16MB, which translates to about 16000 msgs of <q/average/ length.
<name/GoldED+/ automatically warns you if the limit is close to being
reached, and advises you to pack the messagebase.
</p>
<p>
The first incarnations of <name/QuickBBS/ did not support <q/sharing/
of the msgbase. This became more and more important in later years as
multitaskers and networks got cheaper. <name/RemoteAccess/ <abbr/BBS/
was the first to implement a useful method, and later a better method
was evolved (known as <name/RA/ 1.01 or <name/RA/ 1.1x), which is now
the standard for all modern software that supports msgbase sharing.
<name/GoldED+/ fully supports the new standard of course.
</p>
<p>
The main virtue of this format is that it is very fast to access the
msgbase.
</p>
<p>
The main disadvantage is that it can be very sensitive to disk
problems, and it is a common horror story that people loose their
entire msgbase because the disk developed bad clusters or some
program went berserk and messed up the msgbase files.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Goldbase
</head>
<p>
This is an enhanced version of the <name/Hudson/ format, introduced
in <name/QuickBBS/ 2.80 by the <name/QuickBBS/ group.
</p>
<p>
The <name/Goldbase/ format removes the 16MB size limit and allows up
to 500 message areas instead of the 200 in <name/Hudson/.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Squish
</head>
<p>
The <name/Squish/ format was invented by <name/Maximus/ <abbr/BBS/
author <name/Scott Dudley/ in 1991, and was first used in
<name/Maximus CBCS/ v2.00.
</p>
<p>
The use of a database for each area - instead of one file per msg,
or all msgs in one big database - makes this format fast, very
safe and resistant to disk problems. Even if something messed up a
<name/Squish/ area, it can almost always be fixed and recovered,
using the <name/SQFIX/ or <name/SQREIDX/ utilities that come with the
<name/Squish/ echomail processor.
</p>
<p>
A special feature of <name/Squish/ areas is that they can be
self-maintaining. You can setup a <name/Squish/ area so that it may
only contain a maximum of so-and-so many msgs, and then it will
automatically re-use the space used by old msgs when the limit is
reached, and so it will practically stop growing. It will still need
packing, but not nearly as often as a <name/Hudson/ msgbase has to.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Ezycom
</head>
<p>
<name/Ezycom/ format is supported by <name/GoldED+/. Status is not
known.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
JAM
</head>
<p>
<name/JAM/ format as defined in the <name/JAM(mbp)/ revision 001.
Also <name/CrashMail/, <name/CrashEcho/, and <name/SMAPI/ (<name/HPT/)
highwater marks are supported.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ currently ignores revision number of header structure
and assumes that future revisions will remain backward compatible.
When creating new msgs, <name/GoldED+/ uses the revision 1 header
structure.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ currently doesn't support passwords to access the
message base and/or indiviual messages. When creating a new
<name/JAM/ msgbase and/or new <name/JAM/ msgs, <name/GoldED+/ sets
the password to FFFFFFFFh. If you change an existing message which
has a password, the password is <hi/NOT/ preserved, but reset to
FFFFFFFFh.
</p>
<p>
The <name/JAM/ lastread file is designed such that is has to be
searched for a user ID/CRC, because one cannot assume that the
records are in a specific order. The <name/JAM/ <abbr/API/ searches
the userid field. However <name/GoldED+/ searches for the user CRC,
not the user ID. In any case, it seems that <name/RemoteAccess/ 2.x
sets both the user ID and CRC to the same value.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ currently doesn't support the escaping described in
the <name/JAM/ specs. The specs state that the current revision of
<name/JAM/ does not support it either, so it seems to be not great
loss.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ does not supports the following <name/JAM/ subfields:
<q/Force pickup/, and <q>Msg may not be displayed to user</q> (always
displayed).
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ optionally may use tricky method invented by
<name/Odinn/ and aprooved by the <name/JAM/ developers when deleting
messages. The configuration keyword
<ref target=JAMHARDDELETE><kw/JAMHARDDELETE/</ref> specifies which
method to use.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PCBoard
</head>
<p>
The supported <name/PCBoard/ messagebase corresponds to the v15.x of
<name/PCBoard/ <abbr/BBS/.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ is aware of <name/PCBoard/ v15.x extended headers in
the message text. The <gi/TO/, <gi/TO2/, <gi/FROM/, <gi/FROM2/ and
<gi/SUBJECT/ extended headers are directly supported and
<q/swallowed/ when reading a message. Other extended headers are
currently treated like normal message text and is therefore not
hidden to the reader.
</p>
<p>
Passwords are not supported.
</p>
<p>
The <gi/Private/, <gi/Received/, <gi/Crash/, and <gi/Direct/ attributes
are supported.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ reads the <code/pcboard.dat/ file to determine whether
to use E3h or 0Dh (<gi/CR/) as the line/paragraph termination
character when reading and writing message text.
</p>
<p>
The mail waiting flags are updated when you write to people that are
named in the userbase.
</p>
<p>
When changing a message, the new edition is saved as if it were a new
message, with a new message number, and then the old edition is
deleted. This behaviour is consistent with the way <name/PCBoard/
itself works when changing a message. The old edition will still
exist with the <gi/DEL/ attribute.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
AdeptXBBS
</head>
<p>
The implementation is based on the documentation in version 1.05,
experimentation and questions to the authors. Thanks go to
<name/Frank Jacobberger/ for the initial testing and prodding of the
authors to answer <name/Odinns/ questions.
</p>
<p>
The <name/AdeptXBBS/ format does not have a quick method of finding
deleted messages via the index file. This means that deleted messages
left in the messagebase marked with the <gi/DEL/ attribute.
</p>
<p>
Mixing of netmail and echomail or other types of mail in the same
area is not directly supported. If an area is setup as both netmail
and echomail, <name/GoldED+/ will treat it as netmail. If an area is
neither netmail nor echomail, <name/GoldED+/ wil treat it as a local
area.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ detects <name/Usenet/ (newsgroup) and <name/Internet/
e-mail areas in the <name/AdeptXBBS/ setup and uses them as such, but
it has not yet been tested if <name/GoldED+/ and <name/AdeptXBBS/ are
compatible in the way they store and process <name/Internet/ header
information.
</p>
<p>
The <name/AdeptXBBS/ personal mail feature (the index in the
<code/Personal_Mail/ directory) is supported for mails you write to
other users on the <abbr/BBS/. However, personal mail for you via
this feature or by other means is not yet supported.
</p>
<p>
The replylinking method used by <name/AdeptXBBS/ (whatever the method
is??!) is not yet supported. This means that links to other messages
are missing.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
WildCat!
</head>
<p>
The <name/WildCat!/ 4.x format does not have a quick method of
finding deleted messages via the index file. This means that deleted
messages left in the messagebase marked with the <gi/DEL/
attribute.
</p>
<p>
WildCat features which are not supported yet:
<list type=simple>
<item/The userbase./
<item/The message unread chain./
<item>The message from/to title.</item>
<item/The message network name./
<item/The message internal and external attach./
</list>
</p>
<p>
There is a keyword
<ref target=WILDCATUSERNO><kw/WILDCATUSERNO/</ref>, which works just
like the other <kw>&lt;msgbase&gt;USERNO</kw> keywords. By default
<name/GoldED+/ will use the first record in the lastread file
(<code/*.lrd/), so if you are not the first person in the userbase,
or you are sharing the messagebase with others, you may have to
change this user number. The userbase is currently not supported
(i.e.: you can't set the number to -1 to let <name/GoldED+/ find the
correct user and lastread automatically).
</p>
<p>
<hi/Note/: The <name/WildCat!/ support is currently not very
well-tested, so use it with caution. Limited testing shown that
<name/GoldED+/ not damages the messagebases, but you should probably
test it on less important areas and/or make backups until it is
determined that it is safe.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Synchronet
</head>
<p>
<name/Synchronet/ message base as described in <name>Synchronet
Message Base Specification</name> version 1.21. <name/GoldED+/
currently linked with <name/SMBLib/ taken from the <name/Synchronet/
<abbr/BBS/ sources slightly adopted to the <name/GoldED+/ internal
definitions.
</p>
<p>
Just like <name/WildCat!/ format, <name/Synchronet/ format does not
have a quick method of finding deleted messages via the index file.
This means that deleted messages left in the messagebase marked with
the <gi/DEL/ attribute.
</p>
<p>
<hi/Note/: The <name/Synchronet/ support is currently not tested at
all.
</p>
</div2>
</div1>
<!-- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -->
<div1>
<head>
Nodelist and Userlist Support
</head>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ supports the <name/FrontDoor/, <name/Version 7(+)/
nodelist indexes as well as a plain <code/fidouser.lst/. However, if you
run software that doesn't use any of these formats, you may want to use
<name/GoldED+/'s own nodelist index.
</p>
<p>
In order to enable nodelist/userlist lookup and browsing, <name/GoldED+/
needs to use a set of special nodelist index files, created by the
<name/GoldNODE/ nodelist compiler.
</p>
<p>
<name/GoldED+/ normally uses and displays information from the nodelist
when browsing, but it doesn't really need the nodelist for anything. The
index files contains sufficient information for lookup and browsing of
names or addresses. This means that you can delete or pack away the
nodelists and/or userlists after compiling with <name/GoldNODE/, if you
want to save space and you don't need them for anything else.

provided by the <ref target=BEEPNOISES><kw/BEEPNOISES/</ref>
keyword in the configuration file.
</item>
<label>
<code>-n</code>
</label>
<item>
No share. If used, this prevents <name>GoldED+</name> from using
<code>SHARE</code> compatible file-open calls, which are used by
default. Works only until the
<ref target=SHAREMODE><kw>SHAREMODE</kw></ref> keyword is used in
the configuration file. This keyword is normally not useful, but
may be used to debug your setup or something.
</item>
<label>
<code>-noscan</code>
</label>
<item>
Disable the automatic startup area scanning (if that is enabled).
This is useful for automated <abbr>SOUP</abbr> import/export in a
batch file. For example,<eg>
golded -noscan -importsoup @x y</eg>
imports <name>SOUP</name> then exits.
</item>
<label>
<code>-p</code>
</label>
<item>
Since it seems that increasing the thread priority for the
<name/Win32/ version is a mixed blessing, the default is to
<hi/not/ increase the priority. From other side <name>OS/2</name>
version runned with reduced priority by default. This option
increases the priority (<name/Win32/ and <name>OS/2</name> only).
</item>
<label>
<code>-q</code>
</label>
<item>
Quiet. Turns off verbose config compile. On by default. This could
be used on the commandline to disable a <code>-v</code> option in
the <ref target=GEDCMD><kw/GEDCMD/</ref> environment variable.
</item>
<label>
<code>-s&lt;sortspec&gt;</code>
</label>
<item>
Sort all areas according to <ident>sortspec</ident>. See
the <ref target=AREALISTSORT><kw/AREALISTSORT/</ref> config
keyword for details.
</item>
<label>
<code>-t&lt;seconds&gt;</code>
</label>
<item>
Set the timeout value. A value of zero (0) means never timeout.
See the <ref target=TIMEOUT><kw/TIMEOUT/</ref> config keyword
for details.
</item>
<label>
<code>-v</code>
</label>
<item>
Turns on verbose config compile. When used, <name>GoldED+</name>
will display the full filename of each main config file it
compiles. It also displays the name of the detected multitasker, if
any. This can be useful for debugging your setup, and see if
<name>GoldED+</name> accesses the files (especially the
<ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref>'s) it is supposed to.
</item>
<label>
<code>-vv</code>
</label>
<item>
Same as <code>-v</code>, but also displays all the active lines
while compiling. This could be used to find the exact spot if it
crashes or stops while compiling.
</item>
<label>
<code>-w</code>
</label>
<item>
If used, <name/GoldED+/ will create (and overwrite if existing) the
file <code/goldarea.inc/, which will then contain all areas in the
<ref target=AREADEF><kw/AREADEF/</ref> form, sorted by your
<ref target=AREALISTSORT><kw/AREALISTSORT/</ref> specification.
This is very useful for converting your
<ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref>'s to a form you can edit
with your favorite text editor and use in <name/GoldED+/. It is
also useful if you have used the new
<ref target=AREADESC><kw/AREADESC/</ref> keyword or the
<ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref>
<ref target=ECHOLIST><gi/EchoList/</ref> reader. The
<code>goldarea.inc</code> file (created in the
<ref target=GOLDPATH><kw/GOLDPATH/</ref>) can be used by adding<eg>
INCLUDE goldarea.inc</eg>
to your configuration files. When creating the file, <name/GoldED+/
will use <q/./ if an aka is the same as the main aka, and leave out
the optional origin if it's the same as the first
<ref target=ORIGIN><kw/ORIGIN/</ref> in your configuration files.
This makes it easier to share the same <code/goldarea.inc/ between
different setups.

</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
Your network address, <name/FidoNet/-style. More than one address can
be specified if you are member of more than one network. The keywords
<kw/ADDRESS/ and <ref target=AKA><kw/AKA/</ref> can be used
interchangeably.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If a <ident/pointnet/ is specified with a point address,
<name/GoldED+/ will use the so-called <term/3D/ addressing method in
netmail msgs, otherwise the <term/4D/ method is used. The <term/3D/
method works by putting the address
<ident>zone:pointnet/point.0</ident> in the msg header, instead of
the <term/4D/ format <ident>zone:net/node.point</ident>. Most modern
mailers and mail processors now supports the <term/4D/ format,
but if you are a point, you should always consult your boss about
which format to use.<lb>
The optional <ident/@domain/ part can be used to specify a
<term/fifth/ dimension to the <term/4D/ address. It is normally not
necessary to specify a domain. Domains are never shown in the header.

If (and <hi>only</hi> if) the subject is enclosed in quotes (<q//
or ''), <name/GoldED+/ will look for message attributes after the
<ident/subject/ field. See the <ptr target=MESSAGEATTRS> for the
valid attributes. You cannot have quotes within quotes (not the same
type anyway). The attribues are <hi/added/ to the ones already there,
they do <hi/not/ replace them.<lb>
A special format is supported for <abbr/UUCP/ or <name/Internet/
gateways. The special format is indicated with a <q/@/ as the first
character in the <ident/name/ field. You may specify <name/Internet/
gate name here if it other then default specifyed with
<ref target=INTERNETGATE><kw/INTERNETGATE/</ref> keyword, just put
gate name right after the <q/@/ and terminate it with the slash
(<q>/</q>).
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
The address macros can also be specified in an external file, like
the <code/names.fd/ file supported by the <name/FrontDoor/
mailer/editor and <name/Maximus/ <abbr/BBS/. See the keyword
<ref target=NAMESFILE><kw/NAMESFILE/</ref> for details. However, you
should not use the syntax with the attributes in the <code/names.fd/
file, because <name/FrontDoor/ and <name/Maximus/ do not know this
syntax.<lb>
When used in the <name/Internet/ area, <q/@/ as the first character
in the <ident/name/ field may be omitted.

</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
Your network address, <name/FidoNet/-style. More than one address can
be specified if you are member of more than one network. The keywords
<ref target=ADDRESS><kw/ADDRESS/</ref> and <kw/AKA/ can be used
interchangeably.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If a <ident/pointnet/ is specified with a point address,
<name/GoldED+/ will use the so-called <term/3D/ addressing method in
netmail msgs, otherwise the <term/4D/ method is used. The <term/3D/
method works by putting the address
<ident>zone:pointnet/point.0</ident> in the msg header, instead of
the <term/4D/ format <ident>zone:net/node.point</ident>. Most modern
mailers and mail processors now supports the <term/4D/ format,
but if you are a point, you should always consult your boss about
which format to use.<lb>
The optional <ident/@domain/ part can be used to specify a
<term/fifth/ dimension to the <term/4D/ address. It is normally not
necessary to specify a domain. Domains are never shown in the header.

Description:
</label>
<item>
This is an enhancement of the existing aka matching logic, which in
some circumstances fails to find the correct aka.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If the destination address matches <ident/pattern/ then
<name/GoldED+/ will use <ident/aka/ specifyed instead of default
best-match rule. All patterns are checked in the order they follow
in the configuration files.<lb>
Wildcards are not strictly necessary in the match <ident/pattern/,
you could write f.e. <q>zone:*/*.*</q> or <q>zone:</q>, etc.
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
When an address does not match any <kw>AKAMATCH</kw> definition, the
normal aka matching logic takes over.

<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
If more than one area defined to the same path or areatag then last
definition overrides previous ones.<lb>
The possibility of using <q/./ to specify the main <abbr/AKA/ and
the optional default origin makes it simpler to create a common
<ref target=INCLUDE><kw/INCLUDE/</ref>'able area configuration
for several setups with different addresses, for example two people
sharing the same msgbase.<lb>
If you wish to read packed area (f.e. from CD archive) <name/GoldED+/
allows you that. You need to specify pathname <hi/with/ extension
in the <ident>path/board</ident> field, set <gi/PKD/ attribute and
define packer with <ref target=UNPACKER><kw/UNPACKER/</ref> keyword.
This feature is not supported for <name/Hudson/ and <name/GoldBase/
messagebases.

<kw/AREAEXCL/ <ident/&lt;echoid mask&gt;/
</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
With this keyword, you can define the echoids of areas which should
be ignored by <name/GoldED+/ (thereby leaving them out of the
arealist). This is normally used in connection with
<ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref>, to exclude areas you are
not interested in reading.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
The <ident/&lt;echoid mask&gt;/ may contain <name/4DOS/-style
wildcards (<q/*/ and <q/?/). You may specify multiple masks separated
with commas.
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
You can use the <ref target=AREAINCL><kw/AREAINCL/</ref> keyword to
reinclude areas which have been excluded with <kw/AREAEXCL/.<lb>
This keyword must be placed before any of
<ref target=AREA><kw/AREA/</ref>,
<ref target=AREADEF><kw/AREADEF/</ref>,
or <ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref> keywords.

Description:
</label>
<item>
<name/GoldED+/ can read the area setup of many popular mailers,
mail processors and <abbr/BBS/'es, thereby making it much easier
and simpler to configure <name/GoldED+/ for the mail areas you
receive, by eliminating the need to write area definition lines for
all or most of your areas.

Description:
</label>
<item>
These keyword is designed to mark areas which are read from an
<ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref> as <name/Internet/
newsgroup. This may be necessary in some cases to enable the
<name/Internet/ specific features without having to manually define
all <name/Internet/ areas.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
The <ident/&lt;echoid mask&gt;/ may contain <name/4DOS/-style
wildcards (<q/*/ and <q/?/). You may specify multiple masks separated
with commas.
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
This keyword must be placed before any of
<ref target=AREA><kw/AREA/</ref>,
<ref target=AREADEF><kw/AREADEF/</ref>,
or <ref target=AREAFILE><kw/AREAFILE/</ref> keywords.

Synopsis:

<item>
<kw/AREAKEEPLAST/ <ident>&lt;YES/NO&gt;</ident>
</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
This keyword controls whether <name/GoldED+/ should write the file
<code/goldlast.lst/ in the <ref target=GOLDPATH><kw/GOLDPATH/</ref>
at exit and read it back when run next time. The contents of the file
is a list of lastread information for each area as it was at last
scan.<lb>
This feature is helpful when you know that there have not been tossed
new mail and don't want to wait for a full msgbase scan. Now you can
just hit &lt;ESC&gt; at the startup screen to abort the area scan and
<name/GoldED+/ will put up the lastread info from the previous
session.<lb>
It also makes the <q/new mail since last scan/ feature even better,
because the new mail marker now shows which areas that have new mail
since last session even when scanning areas at startup.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
Setting this keyword to <ident/YES/ enables <code/goldlast.lst/
usage, setting to <ident/NO/ disables writes to this file.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>
<item>
<ident/YES/
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
<name/GoldED+/ only writes the <code/goldlast.lst/ file at exit if it
survived the initial startup scan.

Synopsis:

<item>
<kw/AREALISTECHOMAX/ <ident/&lt;size&gt;/
</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
Allows you to specify a fixed or dynamically sized width of the
<gi/EchoID/ column in the arealist.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If a negative value is specified, the width will be the that of the
widest echoid in the arealist plus the negative value. This might be
useful if some long-name echoes have uninteresting ends, such as
<gi/VERYLONGECHOID_R23.PUB/ (could benefit from a <ident/size/ of
-7). There is currently no provision for long echoids with common
beginning.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>
<item>
<ident/0/
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
The arealist can dynamically resize the <gi/EchoID/ and
<gi/Description/ columns, so that long echoids are not cut off. The
sizing of the <q>EchoID</q> column is done against the
<gi/Description/ column, which thereby looses or gains width.

Description:
</label>
<item>
This feature provides a way to hide group ID on the arealist screen,
in a column to the right of the <gi/EchoID/ column. If a group ID is
not a letter in the range A-Z (a value in the range #65-#90),
the groupid is not shown anyway.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If enabled, the arealist screen will display the groupid letters, if
any.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>

Description:
</label>
<item>
This keyword allows you to define additional menu items for the
arealist scanning menus (<!-- FIX ME!!! --><kw/AREAscan/ or
<!-- FIX ME!!! --><kw/AREAscanpm/).
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
The first two characters of the menu text are the <q/hotkey/ letter
that will be highlighted in the menu text, plus a space.<lb>
The filename specifies a plain text file, with the echoids (wildcards
allowed) of the areas you want to scan when the menu item is
selected. There can be several echoids on each line in the file. If
no path is given, the file is loaded from the
<ref target=GOLDPATH><kw/GOLDPATH/</ref>.<lb>
The <ident/-delete/ option will cause <name/GoldED+/ to delete the
list file after scanning the areas in it. For example, if your mail
processor generates a list of the areas that it tossed new mail to,
you could add the list as a menu item on the scanning menu and use it
to scan only those areas with new mail.
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
Some mail processors automatically delete their list after using it
for replylinking. You may want to do some creative stuff with
batchfiles to grab a copy.

<ident/FYTUE/
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
In practice <ident/M/ and <ident/Y/ will usually give the same
result, because <name/GoldED+/ automatically marks scanned areas if
they contain new mail.<lb>
The <ident/F/ enables fuzzy match sorting, which is very handy when
looking for an echoid containing a particular word. Let's say you
want a list of all <name/GoldED/ echoes. You can simply type
<q/GOLDED/ and then the arealist automatically sorts itself so that
all echoes with an echoid containing <q/GOLDED/ comes first.<lb>
The <ident/X/ sort type sorts areas according to msgbase type, in the
following order: <name/Hudson/, <name/Goldbase/, <name/JAM/,
<name/Squish/, <name/Opus/ <code/*.msg/, <name/FTS-0001/
<code/*.msg/, <name/Ezycom/, <name/PCBoard/.<lb>
The <ident/X/ and <ident/Z/ sort types were implemented for internal
use, to optimize area scanning speed. When scanning areas,
<name/GoldED+/ starts by sorting the arealist using the sortspec
defined with the <ref target=AREASCANSORT><kw/AREASCANSORT/</ref>
keyword.

<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If this keyword is set to <ident/HARD/, it is no longer possible to
enter/reply/change messages in areas marked read-only with the
<gi>R/O</gi> area attribute. The <ident/SOFT/ setting uses a menu to
ask permission as in the previous versions.

<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
Renames one echoid to another. The feature is meant to be used in
connection with <kw>AREAFILE</kw>, where some types do not store
echoids with the areas (and <name>GoldED+</name> then automatically
gives them unique echoids). Also you may rename areas with long
echoid to the shorter one.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
<ident/&lt;From echoid&gt;/ defines the original name for the area
(given by the <name/GoldED+/ automatically) and
<ident/&lt;to echoid&gt;/ defines echoid in the form it will be
listed in the arealist.

<item>
This keyword controls whether <!-- FIX ME!!! --><kw/READcommentmsg/,

<!-- FIX ME!!! --><kw/READreplymsg/ functions should reply
to the different area bypassing area selection screen. The
destination area is choosen as follows:
<list type=simple>
<item>
Contents of the <gi/AREA/ kludge if enabled with
<ref target=USEAREA><kw/USEAREA/</ref>.
</item>
<item>
Area set with <ref target=AREAREPLYTO><kw/AREAREPLYTO/</ref>
keyword.
</item>
<item>
Current area.
</item>
</list>
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If enabled, <name/GoldED+/ will bypass area selection screen, if
disabled - will not.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>
<item>
<ident/NO/

<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
This keyword can be used globally and in a
<ref target=RANDOMSYSTEM>Random System</ref> group.<lb>
It is probably not a good idea to enable this keyword globally.<lb>
If you run a utility or have a mail processor which copies personal
mail to a separate area and puts an <gi/AREA/ kludge at the top of
the messages, you should create a random system group for the area
and enable <kw>AREAREPLYDIRECT</kw> in it.

Notes:

<item>
The area separation lines are implemented like a special kind of
area, and are therefore sorted in the arealist just as if they were
actual areas. This is also the reason why you can place the cursor
bar on the separation lines. The fuzzy feature may be used to quickly
go to an area group, that's why cursor can be placed on separation
lines.<lb>
When configuring area separation lines, be careful to consider the
<ref target=AREALISTSORT><kw/AREALISTSORT/</ref>, so that the lines
are sorted into the positions you want. If you don't sort areas, you
must make sure that the <kw/AREASEP/ definitions are placed correctly
in your configuration file, that is, between/before
<ref target=AREA><kw/AREA/</ref> and
<ref target=AREADEF><kw/AREADEF/</ref> lines.<lb>
You will note that the separation lines are not fully connected into
the left and right edges. This is both by design and for practical
reasons (easier to implement), not a bug.<lb>
Currently the descriptions are hardcoded to the natural location in
the description column.

If the <ident/KBYTES/ setting is chosen, the value is rounded
according to the following formula: kbytes = (bytes + 512) / 1024.
So a 600 bytes file is rounded up to <q/1k/, but a 500 bytes
file is rounded down to <q/0k/.

</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
When enabled, this keyword displays the msgbody size in the lower
left side of the header. The size displayed is for the message body
text only, the header and NUL-terminator (and anything that may lurk
beyond it) is excluded from the calculation.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
The following options are provided: the exact size in <ident/BYTES/,
the rounded size in <ident/KBYTES/, the number of <ident/LINES/, or
<ident/NO/ display at all.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>
<item>
<ident/BYTES/
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
This feature only works when <hi/reading/ messages. While editing a
message in the internal editor, this feature is disabled - however,
the size will be displayed when you are in the save message menu
(if <ref target=EDITSAVEMENU><kw/EDITSAVEMENU/</ref> is enabled).<lb>
If the <ident/KBYTES/ setting is chosen, the value is rounded
according to the following formula: kbytes = (bytes + 512) / 1024.
So a 600 bytes file is rounded up to <q/1k/, but a 500 bytes
file is rounded down to <q/0k/.

</label>
<item>
This option controls how <name/GoldED+/ will process the so-called
<gi/Soft-CR/ character (<name/ASCII/ 141, hexadecimal 8Dh) when
display message containing this character.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If enabled, <name/GoldED+/ will treat the <gi/Soft-CR/ character just
like any other displayable character, instead of ignoring it like
linefeed chars.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>
<item>
<ident/NO/
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>
<item>
Enabling this feature is <hi/mandatory/ to make
<ref target=EDITSOFTCRXLAT><kw/EDITSOFTCRXLAT/</ref> feature
working.<lb>
The <name/Ezycom/ message base format requires the <gi/Soft-CR/ to
terminate each line. Therefore this feature is unlikely to be useful
to <name/Ezycom/ sysops.<lb>
The similar functionality may be obtained by defining translation
table with <gi/Soft-CR/ translated to the space character. This may
be useful if you need different settings for the different areas.<lb>
Note that by enabling this feature, you <hi/disable/ the character
translation feature that uses the <gi/Soft-CR/ as an escape character
(this applies only to so-called <q/COMPOSED/ charset).

<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
This keyword provides the way for keeping automatic backup of the
message you are writing. The saved file can be restored with the
<!-- FIX ME --><kw/EDITloadfile/ command. The name of the saved file
is defined with the <ref target=EDITORFILE><kw/EDITORFILE/</ref>
keyword.<lb>
If disaster strikes (crash, lockup, power blackout, etc.) while
you are writing a message in the internal editor, this feature
lets you continue from the last autosaved message, which will
popup automatically when you enter the internal editor again.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
If a non-zero value is given, the internal editor will automatically
execute the <!-- FIX ME!!! --><kw/EDITsavefile/ function with
intervals of <ident/seconds/.
</item>
<label>
Default:
</label>
<item>
30
</item>
<label>
Notes:
</label>

This feature only works 100% if
<ref target=KEYBMODE><kw/KEYBMODE/</ref> is set to <ident/POLL/.
If <ref target=KEYBMODE><kw/KEYBMODE/</ref> is set to <ident/BLOCK/,
autosave won't happen until you press a key after the interval has
passed.

EDITHARDLINE &lt;string&gt;
</head>
<p>
("&lt;&lt;")
</p>
<p>
The string is needed if you use an external editor that terminates
all lines with a CR or CR/LF. The hardline string acts as a text
paragraph terminator, and the normal CR's are ignored.
</p>
<p>
The concept of "hardlines" is explained in the Hardline Feature
chapter.

If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will hard-terminate all lines in your messages
at the editor margin. It is recommended to enable this keyword for
Internet e-mail and newsgroups, because some user-unfriendly
Internet software does not wrap long lines properly. But DON'T
enable it in normal FidoNet echomail.

EDITHEADERFIRST &lt;new,changes,replies,forwards,yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
This keyword controls the circumstances that will present you with
the header editor first of all.
</p>
<p>
New When entering a new message.
Changes When changing a message
Replies When making a reply.
Forwards When forwarding a message.
Yes Always (all of the above).
No Never.
</p>
<p>
The New, Changes, Replies and Forwards values can be combined. YES
is equivalent to enabling all four of these.
</p>
<p>
For example, we want to edit the header only when entering a new
message or when changing a message:
</p>
<p>
EDITHEADERFIRST New, Changes
</p>
<p>
If the circumstances match the setup of this keyword, the header
edit will be bypassed and you will start directly in the <kw>EDITMENU</kw>
(if enabled) or in the internal or external editor. A new menu
item has been added in the <kw>EDITSAVEMENU</kw>, "Edit Header", which
allows you to edit the header after you have written your message,
but before it is finally saved.
</p>
<p>
If you set <kw>EDITHEADERFIRST</kw> to NO, you must either have the
<kw>EDITSAVEMENU</kw> enabled, or use the internal editor, because
otherwise it is not possible to edit the header at all.

<p>
This keyword allows you to specify which soundfile to play when a
specfic event occurs. The following &lt;eventtype&gt;'s are defined:
</p>
<p>
EVENTTYPE TRIGGER:
</p>
<p>
Arealist When the arealist shows.
AskYesNo Any Yes/No type prompt.
Attention Warnings or information popup messages.
DosShell When entering a DOS or OS/2 shell.
EditComment When an editcomment is found.
EndOfMsgs When there are no more msgs in the area.
ErrorFatal Fatal error exit.
Exit Exit from <name>GoldED+</name>.
JobDone Successful completion of a job.
JobFailed Unsuccessful completion of a job.
MsgDeleting When deleting a msg.
MsgFromYou When a msg from you is found.
MsgIsLocal When a msg marked Local is found.
MsgIsTwit When a msg from a Twit is found.
MsgToYou When a msg to you is found.
SearchFailed Search operation failed.
SearchSuccess Search operation was successful.
Startup When the <name>GoldED+</name> startup screen shows.
</p>
<p>
There is currently only one &lt;eventcommand&gt; defined:
</p>
<p>
PLAY &lt;filename.ext/beepnoise&gt;.
</p>
<p>
The parameter to PLAY can be either a sound file or one of the
following standard beepnoises:
</p>
<p>
TheEnd A high and a low note.
GotIt Two sets of low-high notes.
TooBad A falling note.
ToYou A rising and falling note.
SayBiBi A single beep.
SOS Morse S O S (...---...).
</p>
<p>
If a sound file is specified, the sound driver must support the
format.
</p>
<p>
The DOS and 386 versions need a Goldware Sound API compatible TSR
or program loader which installs an interrupt service function on
the multiplex interrupt 2Dh. See the chapter about the Goldware
Sound API for more details. The GCTVSAPI program loader (released
separately) currently only supports the CT-VOICE.DRV driver for
.VOC files.
</p>
<p>
The OS/2 version relies on MMPM/2 (using the mciSendString API
call) to play the sound files. On my system with a Sound Blaster
Pro, MMPM/2 plays both .WAV and (to my surprise) .VOC files. It
even plays .MID files :-)
</p>
<p>
The Win32 version uses the Win32 API to play the sound files. It
should be able to play any multimedia file that Windows knows how
to handle.
</p>
<p>
Example usages:
</p>
<p>
EVENT MsgToYou PLAY HIMAN.VOC
EVENT MsgIsTwit PLAY SHOTGUN.VOC
</p>
<p>
You have to select the sounds carefully and probably with a lot of
experimentation, unless you want to turn your mailreader into a
honking, wailing and farting monster and drive your poor family or
yourself nuts with a cacophony of noises...

Defines the default options for the <kw>EXTERNUTIL</kw>'s. Valid options:
</p>
<p>
-Cls * Clear screen.
-Cursor * Cursor in shell.
-KeepCtrl * Keep control lines in the message.
-Pause Pause for keypress before returning to <name>GoldED+</name>.
-PauseOnError * Pause only if utility errorlevel is nonzero.
-Reload * Reload the message file (@file).
-Wipe Wipe editorfile and temporary file after use.
</p>
<p>
Plus the reverse options with a "No" prefix, for example -NoCls.
The default options are marked with an asterisk (*).
</p>
<p>
Use -NoKeepCtrl when you want to clearsign a message. This will
strip the control lines (kludges, tearline and origin) from the
message before passing it to the external utility. The tearline
and origin is appended to the message when reloading it. The
default is to keep control lines in the message.
</p>
<p>
Use -Wipe when you want the temporary unencrypted message files to
be wiped and removed from the disk after they have been read into
memory. <name>GoldED+</name> wipes a file by writing a block of 512 random bytes
over the entire length of the file, then truncating it to zero
bytes and finally deleting it. The default is not to wipe files.

EXTERNUTIL &lt;utilno&gt; &lsqb;-options&rsqb; &lt;commandline&gt;
</head>
<p>
This new feature can be used to "filter" msgs, for example calling
PGP or other encryption utilities.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;utilno&gt; must be in the range 1 to 24 for utilities that will
be called with key definitions (see below). Higher numbers can be
used for utilities that are called from the <kw>EDITSAVEMENU</kw> (if
enabled). See the <kw>EDITSAVEUTIL</kw> keyword for details.
</p>
<p>
The default options are those specified with the <kw>EXTERNOPTIONS</kw>
keyword. With &lsqb;-options&rsqb;, you can change the those options locally
for specific utils. See the <kw>EXTERNOPTIONS</kw> keyword for a list of
valid options.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;commandline&gt; specfies the DOS or OS/2 commandline you want to
execute. This works in the same way as for the external editor and
spellchecker. See the manual for details about this, especially if
you want to execute batchfiles. In the &lt;commandline&gt; you can use
@tokens to transfer information from the msg to the commandline.
The @tokens are the same as for templates, and in addition you can
use two other @tokens:
</p>
<p>
@path The GOLDPATH, including a trailing backslash.
@file The full filename of the message file (GOLDED.MSG)
that will be written to disk before the utility is
called.
@tmpfile The full filename of a temporary message file
(GEDTMPxx.xxx) that will be written to disk before the
utility is called.
</p>
<p>
Examples:
</p>
<p>
EXTERNUTIL 1 c:&bsol;4dos&bsol;4dos.com /c c:&bsol;crypt&bsol;encrypt.bat @file
EXTERNUTIL 2 c:&bsol;4dos&bsol;4dos.com /c c:&bsol;crypt&bsol;decrypt.bat @file
</p>
<p>
To call a defined external utility, you must assign a key to it.
There are 24 new keyboard commands you can use in GOLDKEYS.CFG for
this purpose:
</p>
<p>
ExternUtilNN
</p>
<p>
Where NN is in the range 01 to 24 _with_ leading zero. Examples:
</p>
<p>
F11 ExternUtil01
F12 ExternUtil02
</p>
<p>
Then if you press F11, you would call external utility number 1
and so on. The <kw>ExternUtilNN</kw> keywords ONLY work in reader mode, not
in the internal editor or any other place.
</p>
<p>
HOW IT WORKS:
</p>
<p>
1. Just before the external utility is called, <name>GoldED+</name> writes the
current message text to the GOLDED.MSG file in the GOLDPATH.
The file is written as a textfile with each line CR-LF
terminated. The content is exactly as you see it on the
screen, which means that kludges are only included if you have
enabled kludge viewing. If the -NoKeepCtrl option is used,
kludges, tearline and origin are stripped before the file is
written. If the token @tmpfile is used, a temporary file named
GEDTMPxx.xxx (where xx.xxx is something unique) is created
with exactly the same content as @file.
</p>
<p>
2. <name>GoldED+</name> clears the screen and then calls the utility.
</p>
<p>
3. The utility can now load and process the @file and/or
@tmpfile, or do anything else you want. It doesn't have to
have anything to do with the current msg. You could call a
spreadsheet, a game, whatever. But I think this feature will
mainly be used for utilities that process the @file. If the
utility processes the @file, it could write the changes back
to the @file.
</p>
<p>
4. After returning from the utility, <name>GoldED+</name> reloads the @file and
displays it just as if it was the current message. For
example, if your utility was a decrypter and the msg was
encrypted, you would now see the decrypted msg. Neat eh? :-)
</p>
<p>
5. If you want to make the reloaded text permanent (save it in
the msg), you can use the Change Msg function and immediately
choose "Save Message" from the Editing menu (if enabled with
EDITMENU Yes). This is in fact the method you could use if you
wanted to EN-crypt a msg (however, it is easier to use the
method which involves the EDITSAVEUTIL keyword).
</p>
<p>
The QUOTESPACING feature can interfere with encoded msgs that
include the '&gt;' character at the beginning of lines (often seen in
uuencoded msgs), by automatically inserting blank lines before and
after the lines with '&gt;'. I have therefore changed the
quotespacing default from YES to NO. Be sure to check if you have
a different setting if you are using an older edition of the
advanced configuration files.
</p>
<p>
If the string "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----" is found as the first
27 characters in a reloaded message, <name>GoldED+</name> will automatically add
the FSC-0073 kludge "^aENC: PGP" to indicate that the message is
encrypted. This kludge may be used by some software to set up
alternative routing for encrypted mail which would otherwise be
bounced if sent through normal channels.
</p>
<p>
See the "Using PGP as an External Utility" chapter for batchfile
examples and instructions on how to use this new feature with PGP.
</p>
<p>
&excl;&excl;&excl; IMPORTANT &excl;&excl;&excl; From FidoNet Policy 4.07 (chapter 2.1.4):
</p>
<p>
"&lsqb;..&rsqb; Therefore, encrypted and/or commercial traffic that is
routed without the express permission of all the links in the
delivery system constitutes annoying behavior."
</p>
<p>
So be careful with this feature&excl;
</p>
<p>
TIP: You can use the EXTERNUTIL feature to setup keys to view or
print an attached fax. Use something like this in GOLDED.CFG:
</p>
<p>
EXTERNUTIL 11 c:&bsol;zfax&bsol;zfax.com pf @subject ; print fax
EXTERNUTIL 12 c:&bsol;zfax&bsol;zfax.com vf @subject ; view fax
</p>
<p>
And this in GOLDKEYS.CFG:
</p>
<p>
@F11 ExternUtil11 ; Press Alt-F11 to print the fax
@F12 ExternUtil12 ; Press Alt-F12 to view the fax
</p>
<p>
Or choose your own key assignments and fax view/print utils.
</p>
<p>
Note that this assumes that the fax file is listed in the subject
line like an attached file.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: If you're running <name>GoldED+</name>/386 and try to use a Win32 program
as an EXTERNUTIL, you might get the error "This program cannot be
run in DOS mode". You can work around this by calling the Win32
program via the shell. For example if this call fails:
</p>
<p>
EXTERNUTIL 1 c:&bsol;utl&bsol;mywin32.exe @file
</p>
<p>
Replace it with:
</p>
<p>
EXTERNUTIL 1 command.com /c c:&bsol;utl&bsol;mywin32.exe @file
</p>
<p>
Then it should work. If not, try using full path to command.com.

<head>
FIDOHWMARKS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will use the echomail "highwater mark" (1.MSG)
to determine if a message is "sent" or "unsent" in *.MSG areas.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: Some older echomail processors do not update the highwater
mark in a way that <name>GoldED+</name> can recognize. If all messages appear to
marked "Uns", even after the mail has been scanned out, try
turning off this keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FIDOLASTREAD &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
(LASTREAD)
</p>
<p>
Defines the filename of the *.MSG lastread files. DO NOT specify a
path.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FIDOMSGTYPE &lt;Opus/FTS1&gt;
</head>
<p>
(Opus)
</p>
<p>
This keyword defines the default format of Fido *.MSG files. It is
only used by some AREAFILE's when reading external area
configuration files, where the preferred format is unknown.
</p>
<p>
The FTS1 (FTS-0001.012 and later) format uses zone/point fields,
where the Opus format uses date/time stamps. When set to Opus
format, <name>GoldED+</name> interprets the date/time stamps as DOS-style
bitmapped date/time.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FIDONULLFIX &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If set to YES, <name>GoldED+</name> will replace NUL chars with LF chars in the
msg body when reading a Fido *.MSG file. This is slower of course,
but not noticably on fast machines.
</p>
<p>
This option was created to enable <name>GoldED+</name> users to read msgs that
were created/handled by brain-dead programs (I don't have names,
sorry) which are not obeying our primary technical standard:
FTS-0001. FTS-1 states that a NUL terminates the msg body. But
sometimes msgs are encountered which have a NUL as the first char
in the msg body or perhaps in other places, thereby causing <name>GoldED+</name>
to show a blank or cut-off msg. In some Pascal-based readers, such
as FM, these msgs can be read anyway, because in Pascal a NUL does
not terminate a string like in C/C++.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: Even if the new FIDONULLFIX keyword is disabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will
still fix a NUL if it is the _first_ character in the msg body.
This probably fixes most of these buggy msgs without the overhead
of checking the entire msg.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FIDOUSERLIST &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path and filename of a FIDOUSER.LST file.
</p>
<p>
This file is expected to be sorted in ascending alphabetical order
using plain ASCII case-insensitive sort. Each line in the list is
expected to be 60 characters plus a CR and a LF, or in other words
records of 62 bytes each. If the list is produced by a nodelist
compiler, everything should be okay, but be careful if you have
edited the file manually. Note that a FIDOUSER.LST file only
supports a name lookup (to get the address).
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FIDOUSERNO>
<head>
FIDOUSERNO &lt;userno&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
This is an index into the FIDOLASTREAD file. Each user occupies 2
bytes in the lastread file.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FILEALIAS &lt;alias&gt; &lt;filename&gt;
</head>
<p>
Used to define short alias names for filenames. If you regularly
write msgs to different files in different paths, this feature is
very useful, and reduces the risk of typing wrong.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
FILEALIAS DKB R:&bsol;DKBBS&bsol;DKBBS
</p>
<p>
With this file alias, you can simply write "DKB" at the filename
prompt, and the long filename will be used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FILELISTPAGEBAR>
<head>
FILELISTPAGEBAR &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
Enables or disables a pagebar (scrollbar) in the file attach list
function.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FORCETEMPLATE>
<head>
FORCETEMPLATE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will popup a template selection menu when you
start writing a new msg or reply. If you have both TEMPLATE(s) and
FORCETEMPLATE in a Random System group, you can tell <name>GoldED+</name> to use
the random template(s) by hitting ESC instead of selecting from
the menu.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FORMFEEDSEPARATOR &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Used when saving messages to file. If enabled, it inserts a Form
Feed (12d) character after each message.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FRQEXT>
<head>
FRQEXT &lt;.ext&gt;
</head>
<p>
With this keyword you can add extra known filename extensions for
the filerequest function. The following extensions are already
known by default, and need not be defined (duplicate definitions
are ignored):
</p>
<p>
.ARC .ARJ .DOC .EXE .GIF .LHA .LZH .JPG .PAK .PNG .RAR .RUN .SDA
.SDN .TXT .ZIP .ZOO
</p>
<p>
Each extension _must_ have the leading dot.
</p>
<p>
Example: FRQEXT .XYZ
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FRQNODEMAP>
<head>
FRQNODEMAP &lt;to-node&gt; &lt;from-node&gt;
</head>
<p>
This keyword is used for the file request feature (Ctrl-F). It
allows you to define mappings from a nodenumber used in a file
announcement to another nodenumber. This is useful in the cases
where a multi-line system announces files using their primary
nodenumber, which may be a regular V34 modem number, but they also
have an ISDN number, which you would prefer to use instead.
Examples:
</p>
<p>
// change-to: from:
FRQNODEMAP 2:236/99 2:236/100
FRQNODEMAP 2:236/1043 2:236/43
</p>
<p>
So, if I saw a file announcement from 2:236/100, and requested
some files, the request would automatically be addressed to
2:236/99.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FRQOPTIONS>
<head>
FRQOPTIONS &lt;options&gt;
</head>
<p>
(FromTop)
</p>
<p>
Defines options for the file request function:
</p>
<p>
Sort Sort the list of files alphabetically.
FromTop Scan the message from the top of the message.
NotFromTop Scan the message from the top of the screen.
NoFiles Don't list the file FILES if no files were found.
NoWazooMsg Don't save the request message.
Fast Bypass the header edit and save the msg immediately.
</p>
<p>
By default, the "FromTop" option is enabled. If you often request
files from very long announcement messages, you might find it very
useful to set the "NotFromTop" option.
</p>
<p>
The "NoFiles" option was added because if no filenames are found
in a message, the file request function defaults to listing the
magic name FILES instead of complaining that no files were found.
</p>
<p>
If the FRQWAZOO keyword is enabled, the default behaviour is to
save the request message with the FRQ attribute stripped. Use the
"NoWazooMsg" option if you don't want the request message.
</p>
<p>
Use the "Fast" option if you find that you almost never change the
destination of the file request message anyway. If you enable this
option, remember that you can always go over to the netmail area
and change the file request message before it is sent.
</p>
<p>
The UseFlowFile option enables a feature which was default in
2.50, but which I have been informed is problematic for modern
mailers in some setups. The default is now to ONLY create/update
the .REQ file and NOT also touch/create a .?LO flowfile.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=FRQWAZOO>
<head>
FRQWAZOO &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will create WaZOO .REQ files instead of file
request messages. You must define an OUTBOUNDPATH if you enable
this feature.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
GEDHANDSHAKE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If this switch set to yes GoldEd displays handshake char in
statusline. If you annoyed with this feature you could hide this
character by setting this option to no.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
GERMANKEYBOARD &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(autodetect)
</p>
<p>
This option is meanful for w32 version only. Due to right Alt key
required to enter some native characters in german version of
Windows it could be defined to yes for this.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=GOLDBASEPATH>
<head>
GOLDBASEPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the directory where <name>GoldED+</name> can find the Goldbase msgbase
files.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=GOLDBASESYSPATH>
<head>
GOLDBASESYSPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the directory where <name>GoldED+</name> can find the NETMAIL.DAT and
ECHOMAIL.DAT files of the Goldbase msgbase. If not specified, the
GOLDBASEPATH is used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=GOLDBASEUSERNO>
<head>
GOLDBASEUSERNO &lt;userno&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
Specifies the lastread set used in the Goldbase message base.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=GOLDPATH>
<head>
GOLDPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
This is the path where <name>GoldED+</name> finds all it's control files. It is
not necessary to define this, unless you have special needs. The
GOLDPATH defaults to directory where the GOLDED.CFG file was
found.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
GROUP &lt;groupname&gt;
</head>
<p>
Starts a Random System group. See the Random System chapter for
details.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=HIGHLIGHTUNREAD>
<head>
HIGHLIGHTUNREAD &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> updates (increases) the "timesread" field in
each message that you read. If set to NO, it doesn't touch the
message. The YES setting causes a slight performance decrease,
because the header of each message has to be read, the timesread
field updated and the header written back to disk. The update
happens immediately after the message is displayed, so you may not
notice it at all. A message is only updated if the timesread field
contains the value 0 (zero).
</p>
<p>
This keyword only works in the following msgbase formats: Fido
(*.MSG), Hudson, Goldbase, JAM, Squish, Ezycom and AdeptXBBS. In
Squish and Ezycom, there is no timesread field, but I have annexed
a reserved message attribute (in Squish, 0x00080000, now called
MSGSEEN; in Ezycom, extattr 0x80) for the purpose of marking a
message as read at least once. The other formats (PCBoard,
WildCat) have no timesread field, but they have reserved fields or
attributes which *could* be used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=HUDSONPATH>
<head>
HUDSONPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the directory where <name>GoldED+</name> can find the Hudson msgbase
files.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
HUDSONSIZEWARN &lt;size in bytes&gt;
</head>
<p>
(16000000)
</p>
<p>
When the Hudson MSGTXT.BBS file exceeds this size, <name>GoldED+</name> starts
to warn that the msgbase is getting dangerously close to the
structural limit (which is 16MB for the MSGTXT.BBS file). With
this keyword you can raise or lower the warning size in case you
think the default is too low or too high.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=HUDSONSYSPATH>
<head>
HUDSONSYSPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the directory where <name>GoldED+</name> can find the NETMAIL.BBS and
ECHOMAIL.BBS files of the Hudson msgbase. If not specified, the
HUDSONPATH is used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=HUDSONUSERNO>
<head>
HUDSONUSERNO &lt;userno&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
Specifies the lastread set used in the Hudson message base.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
IGNORECHARSET &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If set to yes then GoldEd ignores CHRS kludges in messages thus
you will be able to switch codepage in messages with inappropriate
charset.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
IMPORTBEGIN &lt;text&gt;
</head>
<p>
("=== Cut ===")
</p>
<p>
This keyword, together with IMPORTEND, defines some text to add in
the beginning and end of an imported text file in the internal
editor. If only IMPORTBEGIN is defined, the text is also used for
the IMPORTEND. The &lt;text&gt; may be enclosed in quotes ("") if
leading or trailing spaces are needed. The quotes are stripped.
</p>
<p>
The replacement token "@file" can be used in the &lt;text&gt;. It will
be replaced with the import filename as entered.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
IMPORTBEGIN === Cut Begin: @file ===
IMPORTEND === Cut End ===
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
IMPORTEND &lt;text&gt;
</head>
<p>
(same as IMPORTBEGIN)
</p>
<p>
See IMPORTBEGIN.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
INBOUNDPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
(defaults to GOLDPATH)
</p>
<p>
The inbound path is currently only used with the file request
feature (the READfilerequest command, &lt;Ctrl-F&gt;). If you use this
feature, <name>GoldED+</name> will put the file descriptions into a FILES.BBS in
the inbound path, ready for when the requested files are moved to
the correct file areas.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=INCLUDE>
<head>
INCLUDE
</head>
<list type=gloss>
<label>
Synopsis:
</label>
<item>
<kw/INCLUDE/ <ident/&lt;filename&gt;/
</item>
<label>
Description:
</label>
<item>
This tells the configuration file reader to stop reading the current
configuration file, and start reading the file specifyed as an
extra configuration source, then resume reading the previous
configuration file. <kw/INCLUDE/ files can be nested without limit.
</item>
<label>
Parameters:
</label>
<item>
The <ident/filename/ parameter should contain absolute path
and name to the configuration file.
</item>
<label>
Processed by:
</label>
<item>
Mail reader and nodelist compiler.
</item>
</list>
</div2>
<div2 id=INCLUDENODES>
<head>
INCLUDENODES &lt;addressmask&gt;
</head>
<p>
You can define up to 50 different addressmasks to be included from
the compiled nodelists. This is only used in conjunction with the
EXCLUDENODES keyword to include otherwise EXcluded nodes. This
keyword is only used by GoldNODE.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=INPUTFILE>
<head>
INPUTFILE &lt;filename&gt;
</head>
<p>
(*)
</p>
<p>
Defines the default name in the internal editor file import
function.
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> can automatically uuencode and apply a base64 encoding to
the files during importing them into the internal editor.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: This is a very simple implementation of encoders. It cannot
split large files over several messages. The file mode number 644
is hard-coded and has nothing to do with the actual file mode.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
INTENSECOLORS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> is capable of switching off the "blink" color, and thereby
enabling the use of bright background (paper) colors. Enable this
keyword, and try out one of the intense color setup examples.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=INTERNETADDRESS>
<head>
INTERNETADDRESS &lt;internet-address&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies your Internet address. This must be the address only, no
name. The INTERNETADDRESS and USERNAME will be combined to a
standard "From: internetaddresss (username)" headerline when you
write e-mail or articles.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
USERNAME Odinn Sorensen
INTERNETADDRESS odinn@ibm.net
</p>
<p>
Produces the RFC line:
</p>
<p>
From: odinn@ibm.net (Odinn Sorensen)
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
INTERNETDOMAIN &lt;domainname&gt;
</head>
<p>
(username%domain.net)
</p>
<p>
Defines the domain-part of outgouing Message-ID's. If you don't
know your full domain, leave it as default, which should work just
fine.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=INTERNETGATE>
<head>
INTERNETGATE &lsqb;gatename&lt;,&gt;&rsqb;&lt;address&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines the local Internet gate you use when sending netmail to
Internet users. This option is activated when you write an
Internet address in the TO: field in the header display. <name>GoldED+</name>
detects the Internet address by looking for the '@' character. If
detected, <name>GoldED+</name> puts the gate address from INTERNETGATE in the
TO: address field. If you have defined the optional gate name
(typically UUCP), <name>GoldED+</name> also replaces the typed Internet address
with the gate name and puts the Internet address in a TO: line in
the message body. Some gate software accepts the Internet address
directly in the header, while other software may need the special
(UUCP) name and a separate TO: line. Examples:
</p>
<p>
INTERNETGATE UUCP, 1:105/42 ; Standard, with gate name
INTERNETGATE 2:230/9316 ; My uplink runs GIGO software
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally in GOLDED.CFG, if you only ever
use one gate, or in GROUP's for specific areas in GOLDRAND.CFG if
you have multiple netmail areas and regularly use more than one
gate.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: If you enable the INTERNETRFCBODY keyword, you should always
use the gatename UUCP, because otherwise the gateway software may
send duplicate copies (carbon copies) of your e-mails.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
INTERNETLOOKUP &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If set to Yes, <name>GoldED+</name> will check the systemname in the nodelist
when doing a lookup and if the systemname looks like an Internet
address (contains an '@' char), the msg will be addressed to that
Internet address using the INTERNETGATE name/address if defined.
</p>
<p>
For example, let's say there was something like this in the
nodelist:
</p>
<p>
,999,somebody@somewhere,Whereever,Some_Body,...
</p>
<p>
And this in my GOLDED.CFG:
</p>
<p>
INTERNETLOOKUP Yes
INTERNETGATE 2:230/9316
</p>
<p>
Then if I did a lookup of "Some Body" and selected the entry with
the Internet address, <name>GoldED+</name> would make a msg looking like this:
</p>
<p>
--------------------------------------
From : odinn@winboss.dk 2:236/77
To : somebody@somewhere 2:230/9316
Subj : whatever
--------------------------------------
</p>
<p>
Or if my gate was defined as "INTERNETGATE UUCP 2:230/9316":
</p>
<p>
--------------------------------------
From : odinn@winboss.dk 2:236/77
To : UUCP 2:230/9316
Subj : whatever
--------------------------------------
To: somebody@somewhere
</p>
<p>
So what's the use of all this? It allows you to make a
nodelist-style list of users with Internet addresses and use it
with <name>GoldED+</name> so that you can do a lookup of normal names instead of
trying to remember strange Internet addresses. Of course something
similar could be done using the ADDRESSMACRO's, but with the
nodelist approach, you could build a "network" of users which have
offline Internet access via FTN-gate software and distribute the
nodelist for automatic processing.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=INTERNETMSGID>
<head>
INTERNETMSGID &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Specifies whether the FTN MSGID kludge should contain an RFC1036
compatible Message-ID or the normal FTS-9 format. Note that using
the RFC1036 format in MSGID breaks the FTS-9 (version 001)
specification, so please don't use this feature in FidoNet netmail
or echomail. As a safeguard, <name>GoldED+</name> will only use the RFC1036
format in areas specifically marked as e-mail or newsgroups, using
the SOUPEMAIL and SOUPNEWSRCFILE keywords or using the Email and
News area types with the AREADEF keyword, even when INTERNETMSGID
is set to YES globally.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
INTERNETREPLY &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
When INTERNETREPLY is enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> always uses the FSC-35
REPLYADDR/REPLYTO kludges to gate replies to msgs from Internet
correctly. If disabled, <name>GoldED+</name> only uses the FSC-35 method if the
Internet address is too large to fit in the max-35-character TO:
header field. Some gate software requires that the FSC-35 method
is used, while other software accepts Internet addresses directly
in the header.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=INTERNETRFCBODY>
<head>
INTERNETRFCBODY &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Tells <name>GoldED+</name> whether to look for and process RFC headerlines at
the top of the message body, before the first empty line. Also
tells <name>GoldED+</name> to insert its own RFC headerlines at the top of the
message body instead of as kludge lines. This option should only
be used when receiving Internet mail as QWK packets where the RFC
headerlines are usually found at the top of the messages, or when
sending Internet mail via FTN packet to a gateway running GIGO.
GIGO does not recognize RFC header in kludges, but it does
recognize them at the top of the messages, if it is properly
configured (with lines of "Allow_Xxx:" in GIGO's HEADERS.CFG,
where Xxx are the RFC headerlines the gate administrator wants to
allow).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
INVALIDATE &lt;type&gt; &lt;"findstring"&gt; &lt;"replacestring"&gt;
</head>
<p>
This is used to invalidate (change) certain control strings in
quoted text. Use this in conjunction with old versions of D'Bridge
or other software that chokes on control strings in quoted text.
As an added bonus feature, if the tearline or origin is
invalidated to a null string (""), they will not be quoted at all.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;type&gt; can be one of the following:
</p>
<p>
Tearline Invalidate tearline ("---").
Origin Invalidate origin (" * Origin: ").
Seenby Invalidate SEEN-BY's.
</p>
<p>
By default, the following invalidations are used:
</p>
<p>
INVALIDATE Tearline "---" "-+-"
INVALIDATE Origin " * Origin: " " + Origin: "
INVALIDATE Seenby "SEEN-BY" "SEEN+BY"
</p>
<p>
If you want to disable invalidation entirely, use this:
</p>
<p>
INVALIDATE Tearline "---" "---"
INVALIDATE Origin " * Origin: " " * Origin: "
INVALIDATE Seenby "SEEN-BY" "SEEN-BY"
</p>
<p>
The defined INVALIDATEs are also used during importing a file when
editing a mail in the internal message editor.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=JAMHARDDELETE>
<head>
JAMHARDDELETE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
The default setting makes <name>GoldED+</name> conform to the JAMAPI specs when
deleting msgs in JAM msgbases. This means that deleted msgs are
only marked as such in the message header, not in the index. As a
result, <name>GoldED+</name> will find and display the deleted msgs until you
run a message pack utility to physically remove the deleted msgs.
</p>
<p>
If JAMHARDDELETE is set to Yes, <name>GoldED+</name> will zap the reference to
the message in the index when deleting msgs. This way the deleted
msgs will not show up again later. The drawback of this approach
is that it is hard to undelete msgs, and may break other software
which assume 100% to-the-letter conformance to the specs. Note
however, that the hard-delete method is transparent to normal use
of JAM msgbases. Probably the only software that might break are
undelete utilities.
</p>
<p>
For the techies and programmers, the hard-delete method is simply
setting both UserCRC and HdrOffset in the index to 0xFFFFFFFF
instead of only the UserCRC. According to the JAMAPI specs, a
value of 0xFFFFFFFF in HdrOffset means that "there is no
corresponding message header". Sounds remarkably like a deleted
msg, right? :-)

</div2>
<div2>
<head>
JAMPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
(defaults to the HUDSONPATH)
</p>
<p>
Defines the path where <name>GoldED+</name> can access the NETMAIL/ECHOMAIL.JAM
files, which are used by mail processors to find and scan out mail
written by users.
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> can handle enviroment variables correctly in paths
specified in connection with this keyword. For example, if a path
is defined as %MAIL%&bsol;path&bsol;name, and SET MAIL=C:&bsol;POINT is in
AUTOEXEC.BAT (or whatever), then <name>GoldED+</name> translates the path to
C:&bsol;POINT&bsol;path&bsol;name.
NOTE: The translation is done at config compile time, so if you
change the environment variable and haven't changed anything else
that would cause <name>GoldED+</name> to recompile it's config, you must force
it with the -F or -FF command parameter.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
KEYBCLEAR &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Tells <name>GoldED+</name> whether or not to clear the keyboard buffer on
startup. This also clears KEYBSTACK or commandline key stuffing.
In older versions of <name>GoldED+</name>, it was necessary to enable this
keyword if you had renamed GOLDED.EXE to DBEDIT.EXE. This version
detects the .EXE renaming and automatically enables KEYBCLEAR,
regardless of the configuration setting.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
KEYBDEFAULTS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> defines a default keyboard configuration setup internally.
The keys can be reconfigured in the GOLDKEYS.CFG file. By default,
the internal keyboard setup is active always, redefinable with the
definitions in GOLDKEYS.CFG. But in some cases it can be
preferrable that the internal keyboard setup is turned off, so
that only the keys in GOLDKEYS.CFG are active. If you want this,
set KEYBDEFAULTS to NO.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
KEYBEXT &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(detect)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will use extended bios calls to read the
keyboard. With the extended keyboard, you can use keys like
&lt;Alt-Left&gt;, &lt;Alt-Home&gt; and other extended keys. If you don't have
an extended keyboard, don't despair - using a few neat tricks, I
have made it possible to use some of the extended keys even with a
non-extended keyboard.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=KEYBMODE>
<head>
KEYBMODE &lt;poll/block&gt;
</head>
<p>
(poll)
</p>
<p>
If this option is set to Poll, <name>GoldED+</name> switches its keyboard
handling code from "blocking" to "polling" mode. This enables
<name>GoldED+</name> to provide a continuously running statusline clock,
automatic internal editor autosave, timeout exit and screensaver.
If set to Block, the timeout exit and screensaver are disabled,
and the clock and autosave are dependent on key presses.
</p>
<p>
In order to minimize waste of CPU resources in keyboard polling
mode, <name>GoldED+</name> automatically detects DESQview, Windows and OS/2 and
releases timeslices during the keyboard poll.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=KEYBSTACK><head>KEYBSTACK &lt;keystring&gt;</head>
<p>
With this keyword, you can "stack" keys in the keyboard buffer.
The KEYBSTACK can be overridden by commandline keystacking, which
uses the same syntax.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;keystring&gt; can be a mixture of the following:
</p>
<p>
^Char Ctrl-key (^Letter).
~Char Ctrl-key (~Letter). (Use this with 4DOS&excl;).
@Key Alt-key (@Number or @Letter).
Char Literal character.
"String" String, enclosed in double quotes.
'String' String, enclosed in single quotes.
Number Keyboard scan code (decimal).
&excl; Clear keyboard buffer.
</p>
<p>
Whitespace (space and tab) is ignored, except in quoted strings.
</p>
<p>
See the <ptr target=MACROSANDKEYSTACKING> chapter for more info.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
KLUDGE &lt;kludge-definition&gt;
</head>
<p>
The definition may optionally be enclosed in quotes. A definition
must be enclosed in quotes if it contains leading or trailing
spaces. The KLUDGE tells <name>GoldED+</name> which kludges it should consider
as "known" in addition to the built-in known kludges.
</p>
<p>
Here are a bunch of examples, most of which are kludges generated
by the GIGO Internet gateway software:
</p>
<p>
KLUDGE " " ; For wrapped kludges
KLUDGE "Content-Type:"
KLUDGE "Date:"
KLUDGE "From:"
KLUDGE "In-Reply-To:"
KLUDGE "Message-Id:"
KLUDGE "Mime-Version:"
KLUDGE "Organization:"
KLUDGE "Newsgroups:"
KLUDGE "Received:"
KLUDGE "Reply-To:"
KLUDGE "Sender:"
KLUDGE "Subject:"
KLUDGE "To:"
KLUDGE "Errors-To:"
KLUDGE "FTN-From:" ; X-FTN-From:
KLUDGE "ORIGREF:" ; Gated?
KLUDGE "ORIGID:" ; Gated?
KLUDGE "RFC-" ; Seen in NET_DEV
</p>
<p>
The kludges defined with KLUDGE are not case-sensitive, but when
<name>GoldED+</name> looks for the kludges, it matches to the exact length. This
means that for example "RFC-" will match all kludges beginning
with that string.
</p>
<p>
The ASCII 1 kludge char should not be included in the definition
string, but <name>GoldED+</name> can handle it if you do.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
KLUDGECHRS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If set to YES, <name>GoldED+</name> uses the "^aCHRS" kludge instead of the
"^aCHARSET" kludge when appropriate.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=LOADLANGUAGE>
<head>
LOADLANGUAGE &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
If defined, this keyword will load a language definition file.
</p>
<p>
This feature can be used to load a small set of national language
definitions in national areas, an english set in international
areas, etc. Typically this would be used to load the definitions
of the date/time strings for use in the template and the
Msg/From/To/Subj strings in the header display.
</p>
<p>
In the ADVANCED archive, a set of GEDLNG*.CFG files are provided,
which are designed for use with LOADLANGUAGE. Please note that
there is also a @loadlanguage template token. This way you can
choose to load a language file from the template, or by using the
Random System. The template token takes precedence over the
LOADLANGUAGE in the Random System, but if both are defined, both
will be loaded.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups, but
it is probably not very useful when used globally.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
LOGFILE &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
(GOLDED.LOG)
</p>
<p>
Defines the name of the <name>GoldED+</name> logfile. You should not change the
default.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
LOGFORMAT &lt;fd,max,bink,qbbs,db&gt;
</head>
<p>
(fd)
</p>
<p>
Defines the log format <name>GoldED+</name> should use when writing to the
logfile.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
LOOKUPECHO &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will use nodelist lookup when entering the TO:
name in msgs in echomail areas.
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> *won't* lookup the name if it exactly matches the current
WHOTO - text. This is a feature, because a lookup of "All" is not
very useful. :-)
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
LOOKUPLOCAL &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will use nodelist lookup when entering the TO:
name in msgs in local areas.
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> *won't* lookup the name if it exactly matches the current
WHOTO - text. This is a feature, because a lookup of "All" is not
very useful. :-)
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
LOOKUPNET &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will use nodelist lookup when entering the TO:
name in msgs in netmail areas.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
LOOKUPUSERBASE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will attempt to find a matching username in the
user database if a to-name with wildcards is entered in echo or
local areas.
</p>
<p>
The userbase lookup feature is not new, but a need arose for an
option to turn off the lookup. I decided to let the default be to
disable the lookup. Previously the lookup was always enabled.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MAILINGLIST>
<head>
MAILINGLIST &lt;echoid&gt; &lt;senderaddress&gt; &lsqb;contribution address&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
Defines one or more mailing lists. When importing e-mail from a
SOUP packet, <name>GoldED+</name> will look at the Internet address in the
"Sender" header and if it matches one of the MAILINGLIST's, the
e-mail will be tossed to the defined area. Note that <name>GoldED+</name>
supports only participation in, not hosting of mailing lists. The
contribution address is the destination Internet address for mail
you write to the mailing list - the address is typically given to
you when you subscribe to a list. If the contribution address is
not specified, the senderaddress is assumed.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
MAILTOSS &lt;echoid&gt; &lt;contribution-address&gt; &lt;pattern&gt;
</head>
<p>
This is acutally the same as MAILINGLIST in disguise with the
parameters recorded and it also enables the full set of pattern
matching. The &lt;pattern&gt; can be written exactly as if in the prompt
for the advanced search feature.
</p>
<p>
Any number of MAILTOSS lines can be given for a particular list,
if there is for some reason no single way to identify the list.
</p>
<p>
When determining the contribution address, the first MAILTOSS
(or MAILINGLIST) that matches the echoid is chosen.
</p>
<p>
MAILTOSS and MAILINGLIST can both be used at the same time and for
the same lists. MAILINGLIST is always the faster, because it looks
only at specific headerlines. MAILTOSS uses much more complex
pattern matching and can even match based on message body content.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
MAPPATH &lt;server filespec&gt; &lt;local filespec&gt;
</head>
<p>
This keyword is used to map paths, for example if you have
different drive letters on a server machine and a workstation. You
might have your FidoNet mailer and mail processor setup to run
with the server drive letter (C:), but run <name>GoldED+</name> from a
workstation where that drive is mapped to a different letter (J:).
If you use AREAFILE's to get the area configuration for <name>GoldED+</name>,
you need to use MAPPATH to map the server drive letter to the
workstation equivalent.
</p>
<p>
Another case might be that you have a setup with DOS-style paths
and want to run the Linux version with the same <name>GoldED+</name> setup. You
can then use MAPPATH to map the DOS drive-based paths to Unix
style paths.
</p>
<p>
Examples:
</p>
<p>
MAPPATH C: J:
MAPPATH C:&bsol; /mnt/dos/c/
</p>
<p>
NOTE: You don't have to worry about backslash/forwardslash in this
case - they are always mapped automatically to the correct type
for the operating system.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MEMBER>
<head>
MEMBER &lt;echoid&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines Random System group members. See the Random System chapter
for details.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
MENUDROPMSG &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Defines the default selection in the "Drop This Msg?" menu.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
MENUMARKED &lt;marked/current/previous/default&gt;
</head>
<p>
(default)
</p>
<p>
Specifies the position of the selection bar in the Marked/Current
menu.
</p>
<p>
Marked Set selector to Marked.
Current Set selector to Current.
Previous Set selector to previously selection.
Default Set selector to Marked if there are marked msgs.
</p>
<p>
Note that older versions (before 2.50) used the equivalent of the
"previous" setting.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
MOUSE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
The mouse support in <name>GoldED+</name> is currently not functional, so this
keyword is ignored.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MSGLISTDATE>
<head>
MSGLISTDATE &lt;written/arrived/received/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(written)
</p>
<p>
Can be used globally and in groups. This keyword specifies the
default date shown in the right column in the message list. If
"no" is specified, the date column is removed and the space used
to widen the other columns. Personally I prefer to see the
"arrived" date, which is why I implemented this feature.
</p>
<p>
The key command LISTtoggledate (Ctrl-D) toggles between them.
</p>
<p>
Note that the "arrived" date doubles as the "processed" date for
messages that are written locally and scanned out from your
messagebase.
</p>
<p>
Not all messagebase formats supports all three dates. The table
below shows which messagebase supports which dates:
</p>
<p>
Written Arrived Received
JAM X X X
*.MSG X X
Squish X X
Ezycom X X
Hudson X
Goldbase X
PCBoard X
</p>
<p>
If a date is not supported, "n/a" (for "not available") is shown
instead.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MSGLISTFAST>
<head>
MSGLISTFAST &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
The message lister can operate in two ways, fast or slow. In the
fast mode, only the message headers are loaded for the list
information. Depending on the msgbase format and message type,
some information may not be quite the same when presented in the
lister because information which is gathered from kludges or other
control information in the message text will be missing. Most of
the time this may not be a problem, so if you want speed, chose
the fast mode (default).
</p>
<p>
The slow mode loads and fully interprets the content of each
message before the message list is presented. The slowness is most
noticable when entering the lister and when paging up and down.
You may want to use the slow mode for areas with Internet
newsgroups and e-mail, where <name>GoldED+</name> uses the "From" kludge to get
the real name of the message writer.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MSGLISTFIRST>
<head>
MSGLISTFIRST &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> automatically starts the message lister when
entering an area.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MSGLISTHEADER>
<head>
MSGLISTHEADER &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> shows the header of the current message when
you scroll the bar up and down. This is how it worked in previous
versions. If disabled, <name>GoldED+</name> does not show the header and instead
uses the screen space to show more messages. By eliminating the
header display, it is also much faster at scrolling the list.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MSGLISTPAGEBAR>
<head>
MSGLISTPAGEBAR &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
Enables or disables a pagebar (scrollbar) in the message list.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
MSGLISTVIEWSUBJ &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will display the full subject in the bottom
border of the list window. Note that this feature slows down
scrolling a bit.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=MSGLISTWIDESUBJ>
<head>
MSGLISTWIDESUBJ &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, the Subject column is made wider by removing the To
column. This is especially useful in gated Internet newsgroups,
where the To name is always "All".
</p>
<p>
You can toggle between wide and short subject with Ctrl-B
(keycommand LISTtogglewidesubj).
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=NAMESFILE>
<head>
NAMESFILE &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
(NAMES.FD)
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> supports the "address macro" file supported by FrontDoor
and Maximus. If no path is specified, the file is first searched
for in the path from the "FD" environment variable and then the
GOLDPATH, if the FD variable failed.
</p>
<p>
The address macros are added *after* those defined with the
ADDRESSMACRO keyword (if any) (see this for details on the
format).
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=NETNAME>
<head>
NETNAME <q/string/
</head>
<!--
This is the "netname" that is placed in the originline, after
the address.
Example:
NETNAME fidonet
Produces:
* Origin: Whatever (2:236/77@fidonet)
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
NOTE: The netname is a non-standard practice with no technical
merit and should not be used. It is provided for cosmetical
purposes and backward compatibility only.
-->
<p>dummy text</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=NICKNAME>
<head>
NICKNAME &lt;your pseudo&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines the nick name (pseudo) for the current USERNAME. Can be
used globally and in random system groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
NODELIST &lt;file&gt; &lsqb;zone/addr&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
Here you define up to 255 nodelists that are used by <name>GoldED+</name> and the
companion nodelist compiler GoldNODE. The nodelists must generally
be in the standard "St.Louis" nodelist format, but they can also
contain FrontDoor/Version7 style Boss/Point extensions. The
default zone is defined by the first ADDRESS or AKA, but can be
overridden by adding the zone number or a full address after the
filename. <name>GoldED+</name> currently needs it's own special index files to
use the nodelists. These index files are created by GoldNODE.
</p>
<p>
&lt;file&gt; Nodelist file. If the extension is .999 or a
wildcard (".*"), the newest file with a numeric
extension is used.
&lsqb;zone/addr&rsqb; Default zone or address for the nodelist (if no
zone info is present in the list itself).
</p>
<p>
See also the USERLIST keyword, and the Nodelist Browsing chapter.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: If you have nodelists with duplicate some of each others
nodes, the nodelist with the newest or most correct entries should
be placed LAST, and you should use the -D (remove duplicates)
option with GoldNODE.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
NODELISTWARN &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If set to YES, <name>GoldED+</name> will warn you during startup if one or more
nodelists are missing. Use NO to disable the warning if it bothers
you or you delete/pack your nodelists when the nodelists are
compiled.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: <name>GoldED+</name> can work fine with lookups etc. without nodelists as
long as it can access its own indexes (GOLDNODE.GX?). Only the
extra details will be missing.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=NODEPATH>
<head>
NODEPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
This is where <name>GoldED+</name> and GoldNODE finds the nodelist files and
indexes.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
NODEPATHFD &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path where <name>GoldED+</name> can find the FrontDoor nodelist index files.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
NODEPATHIM &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path to the InterMail nodelist index files. This is actually just
an alias name of the NODEPATHFD keyword, since InterMail and
FrontDoor uses the same nodelist index files.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=NODEPATHV7>
<head>
NODEPATHV7 &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path where <name>GoldED+</name> can find the Version 7 nodelist index files.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: For the Version 7 nodelist index support, <name>GoldED+</name> *requires*
that the files SYSOP.NDX, NODEX.NDX and NODEX.DAT are present.
None of these files may be missing and no other filenames are
supported. Multiple sets of index files are not supported.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
NODEV7FLAGS &lt;flag&gt; &lt;value&gt;
</head>
<p>
The Version 7 nodelist index does not by default define any
nodelist flags except the CM flag. Unfortunately the V7 index does
not point to the actual nodelist, it only has some bits which are
marked "reserved" in the specifications. The NODEV7FLAGS keyword
allows you to define the meaning of each of these bits.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;value&gt; field can be a number or a bit number. Allowed numbers
are: 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 8192 and 16384. Allowed
bit numbers are: b5, b6, b7, b8, b9, b10, b11, b13 and b14.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
NODEV7FLAGS MO b5
NODEV7FLAGS LO b6
NODEV7FLAGS MN b7
NODEV7FLAGS NC b8
NODEV7FLAGS ZEC b9
NODEV7FLAGS REC b10
NODEV7FLAGS NEC b11
NODEV7FLAGS XA b13
NODEV7FLAGS XX b14
</p>
<p>
See also the NODEV7MODEM keyword for other nodelist flags.
</p>
<p>
The nodelist flag bits in the index files are put in by your
Version 7 nodelist compiler. You must make sure that the nodelist
flag definitions in your nodelist compiler setup match those in
your <name>GoldED+</name> setup.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
NODEV7MODEM &lt;type&gt; &lt;value&gt;
</head>
<p>
The Version 7 nodelist index does not by default define any
nodelist modem type flags. Unfortunately the V7 index does not
point to the actual nodelist, it only has some bits which are
marked "reserved" in the specifications. The NODEV7MODEM keyword
allows you to define the meaning of each of these bits.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;value&gt; field can be a number or a bit number. Allowed numbers
are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128. Allowed bit numbers are: b0,
b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6 and b7.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
NODEV7MODEM VFC b0
NODEV7MODEM HST b1
NODEV7MODEM V34T b2
NODEV7MODEM V32B b3
NODEV7MODEM V34 b4
NODEV7MODEM V42B b5
NODEV7MODEM ZYX b6
NODEV7MODEM ISDN b7
</p>
<p>
See also the NODEV7FLAGS keyword for other nodelist flags.
</p>
<p>
The modem type bits in the index files are put in by your Version
7 nodelist compiler. You must make sure that the modem type
definitions in your nodelist compiler setup match those in your
<name>GoldED+</name> setup.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=ORGANIZATION>
<head>
ORGANIZATION &lt;text&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the content of the RFC Organization header for Internet
messages.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=ORIGIN>
<head>
ORIGIN &lt;"string"&gt;
</head>
<p>
You can define many different origins for use in <name>GoldED+</name>. You can
select one of the defined origins from the Origin selection menu
(the READchangeorigin keyword), which is also available from the
EDITMENU and the EDITSAVEMENU.
</p>
<p>
Leading and/or trailing spaces can be added by enclosing the
origin string in quotes.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: Origins defined in the Random System will always override
the global origins defined with this keyword, except when they are
selected from the EDITSAVEMENU.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=OUTBOUNDPATH>
<head>
OUTBOUNDPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines a Binkley-style outbound path. Currently only used for
WaZOO .REQ file requests (see FRQWAZOO). This should be the name
of your primary outbound without extension.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=OUTPUTFILE>
<head>
OUTPUTFILE &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
This is the default name of the file written using the
READwritemsg command.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PCBOARDPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines the default path where <name>GoldED+</name> should look for the PCBoard
setup files if it can't find the PCBOARD environment variable.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=PCBOARDUSERNO>
<head>
PCBOARDUSERNO &lt;userno&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
Specifies the lastread set used in the PCBoard message base.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PERSONALMAIL &lt;startup,allnames&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies options regarding the personal mail scan feature. None
of them are enabled by default.
</p>
<p>
If the "startup" option is used, <name>GoldED+</name> scans for personal mail
while doing the startup mail scan.
</p>
<p>
If the "allnames" option is used, <name>GoldED+</name> scans for mail to all the
USERNAME's instead of only the first. The default is not to scan
for personal mail at startup and to scan only for the first name.
This is faster.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
PERSONALMAIL Startup, AllNames
</p>
<p>
The example makes <name>GoldED+</name> scan for personal mail to all your
USERNAME's at startup.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=PLAY>
<head>
PLAY &lt;filename.ext/beepnoise&gt;
</head>
<p>
See the EVENT keyword for a definition of the PLAY parameters.
You may specify <q/@/ before parameter for random noise selection.
</p>
<p>
Bugs: At least one <kw/EVENT/ with file should be defined in order to
initialize soundcard driver. Otherwise filenames specifyed for the
<kw/PLAY/ will be ignored.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PRINTDEVICE &lt;devicename&gt;
</head>
<p>
(PRN)
</p>
<p>
Defines the name of the device used for printing. PRN is the
default, but LPTx can also be used. Printers on COMx ports may
also work, but this has not been tested.
</p>
<p>
Devices are opened in Write-Only text mode. The function has been
successfully tested to work with two popular peer-to-peer network
packages.
</p>
<p>
You should NOT use a filename as devicename. Use the filename
option in the Write menu instead.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PRINTFORMFEED &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
Used when printing messages. If enabled, it prints a Form Feed
(12d) character after each message.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PRINTINIT &lt;printstring&gt;
</head>
<p>
This keyword defines the command string sent to your printer to
initialize it before the actual printing.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;printstring&gt; can contain items like these:
</p>
<p>
&dollar;Hex A hexadecimal string.
#Decimal A decimal (integer) number.
"String" Text string, enclosed in double quotes.
'String' Text string, enclosed in single quotes.
Other chars Ignored.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PRINTLENGTH &lt;lines&gt;
</head>
<p>
(60)
</p>
<p>
Defines the number of lines per page for printing. A formfeed is
printed when every time PRINTLENGTH lines have been printed.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=PRINTMARGIN>
<head>
PRINTMARGIN &lt;characters&gt;
</head>
<p>
(80)
</p>
<p>
The right margin to use in printed messages.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PRINTRESET &lt;printstring&gt;
</head>
<p>
This keyword defines the command string sent to your printer to
reset it after printing.
</p>
<p>
&lt;printstring&gt; See the PRINTINIT keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QUOTEBLANK &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will put the QUOTESTRING on blank lines in the
quote. Otherwise blank lines are left blank in quotes.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=QUOTEBUFFILE>
<head>
QUOTEBUFFILE &lt;filename&gt;
</head>
<p>
If used, it sets the default filename for the quotebuffer. If no
path is specified, the GOLDPATH is used.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: If this keyword is used in globally (in GOLDED.CFG), it
effectively disables the automatically named quotebuffers, as
described in the chapter about the QUOTEBUFMODE keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QUOTEBUFMODE &lt;ask/append/overwrite&gt;
</head>
<p>
(ask)
</p>
<p>
Specifies what <name>GoldED+</name> should do, if the quotebuffer file exists
already.
</p>
<p>
Ask A menu asks you to select append/overwrite/skip.
Append Always append, no asking.
Overwrite Always overwrite, no asking.
</p>
<p>
The "always overwrite" mode is not very useful I guess, but it's
there if you need it.
</p>
<p>
The quotebuffer feature automatically creates special filenames
for the buffer file, using these guidelines:
</p>
<p>
FORMAT FILENAME LOCATION
Fido GOLDED.QBF In the directory with the *.MSG's.
Hudson GOLDHxxx.QBF In the HUDSONPATH.
Squish filename.QBF Where the Squish area is.
Ezycom GLDxxxxx.QBF In the EZYCOMMSGPATH.
JAM filename.QBF Where the JAM area is.
Goldbase GOLDGxxx.QBF In the GOLDBASEPATH.
PCBoard filename.QBF Where the PCBoard area is.
</p>
<p>
Note that they all have extension .QBF so that you can easily find
them.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=QUOTECHARS>
<head>
QUOTECHARS &lsqb;"&rsqb;&lt;chars&gt;&lsqb;"&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
Defines up to 10 chars to recognize in addition to '&gt;' as quote
string chars. This is most useful in gated Internet newsgroups,
where chars such as '&verbar;', ':' and ';' are sometimes used instead of
the '&gt;'.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
Group Internet:
Member alt.*, comp.*, net.email
Quotechars "&verbar;:;"
Username odinn@winboss.dk
EndGroup
</p>
<p>
The example is similar to the one I use myself (net.email is a
local netmail area where I import my gated e-mail from
winboss.dk). The username is my actual Internet address.
</p>
<p>
Note that using additional quotechars such as '&verbar;' and ':' may
cause odd results when quoting in the cases when they are actually
NOT used in a message as quotechars. Consider for example quoting
a smiley :-)
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=QUOTECTRL>
<head>
QUOTECTRL &lt;Tearline,Origin,yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies if you want quote tearline and/or origin in your
messages.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used in random system groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=QUOTEMARGIN>
<head>
QUOTEMARGIN &lt;chars&gt;
</head>
<p>
(70)
</p>
<p>
The margin to which quotes are wrapped. A negative value means
that the negative value is added to the DISPMARGIN (not
recommended).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QUOTESPACING &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will automatically add blank lines before and
after a block of quoted text, if none are present already. This
improves the readability of some messages.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=QUOTESTOPS>

<div2 id=QUOTESTRING>
<head>
QUOTESTRING &lt;quotespec&gt;
</head>
<p>
(" FL&gt; ")
</p>
<p>
With this keyword you define how you want the quotestring to look
in your quoted replies.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;quotespec&gt; can contain these characters:
</p>
<p>
F Replaced with the first letter of the first name.
M Replaced with the letters of the middle names.
L Replaced with the first letter of the last name.
&gt; Required quote-char.
Spaces Cosmetics.
</p>
<p>
Other characters are allowed but *not* recommended.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System Groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=QUOTEWRAPHARD>
<head>
QUOTEWRAPHARD &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
This keyword controls behaviour of quoted text (wrap or reflow).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKBADMSGS &lt;echoid&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the area where messages in unknown conferences are put.
If you get messages tossed here by accident, you must move them
manually to the correct area. If the badmsgs area is not defined,
the messages will silently disappear. Messages tossed to the
badmsgs area will have the control line "AREA:&lt;bbsid&gt;_&lt;confno&gt;" at
the top of the message.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKCONFMAP &lt;bbsid&gt; &lsqb;"&rsqb;&lt;confname&gt;&lsqb;"&rsqb; &lt;echoid&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines the mapping between the BBSID and conference names in the
QWK packets and the echoid name of the conference as required by
<name>GoldED+</name>. You MUST define a mapping for every conference that you
subscribe to. If you don't, the messages will be tossed to the
area defined by QWKBADMSGS or disappear. The &lt;bbsid&gt; is the name
listed on line 5 in CONTROL.DAT after the comma. The &lt;confname&gt; is
the conference names listed on line 13 and on alternate lines
onwards in CONTROL.DAT. If a conference name contains embedded
spaces, the &lt;confname&gt; must be enclosed in double quotes, like
this: "Main Board". The area &lt;echoid&gt; must be already defined
either in an AREAFILE or using the AREADEF or AREA keywords.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKEXPORTPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path where outgoing QWK reply files (BBSID.MSG) can be placed.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKIMPORTPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path where incoming QWK packet files (CONTROL.DAT and
MESSAGES.DAT) can be found.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKOPTIONS &lt;bbsid&gt; &lt;options&gt;
</head>
<p>
The &lt;bbsid&gt; is the BBSID (same as the name of the QWK packet) for
which the options will be active. The &lt;options&gt; can be any or a
combination of the following, separated by commas or spaces:
</p>
<p>
KLUDGES/NOKLUDGES: Defaults to NOKLUDGES. Specifies whether or not
to include the FidoNet-style kludges at the top of messages when
exporting to QWK. NOTE: Unless you enable this option, <name>GoldED+</name> will
*not* include kludges in your QWK packets. You should check if the
BBS supports kludges in QWK packets. If it does, please enable
this option.
</p>
<p>
MIXCASE/NOMIXCASE: Defaults to NOMIXCASE. Specifies whether or not
the BBS allows mixed upper/lower case in the QWK message headers.
The default is to uppercase the TO and FROM header fields when
exporting to QWK packets.
</p>
<p>
RECEIPT/NORECEIPT: Defaults to NORECEIPT. Specifies whether or not
the BBS supports return receipt requests (RRQ). If the RECEIPT
option is enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will insert "RRR" at the front of the
subject field if the RRQ attribute is set on your messages, when
exporting to QWK packets.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKREPLYLINKER &lt;cmd&gt;
</head>
<p>
Commandline for a replylinker program to call after QWK import.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
QWKTOSSLOG &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
Name of a file where <name>GoldED+</name> puts the echoids of each area where
articles have been imported. The tosslog file is intended to be
used with a replylinker. If no path is given, it defaults to the
GOLDPATH.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
RA2USERSBBS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(detect)
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> supports the two different formats of the Hudson USERS.BBS
file. With this keyword you can tell <name>GoldED+</name> which format to use.
</p>
<p>
If set to YES, the RA2 format is used. Otherwise if the it is set
to NO, the Hudson format is used.
</p>
<p>
If this keyword is NOT used, <name>GoldED+</name> tries to detect the format by
looking at the size of the USERS.BBS file and comparing this to
the record sizes of the RA2 and Hudson formats.
</p>
<p>
If the size matches one and not the other, the format is detected
to be of the matching type.
</p>
<p>
If the size matches both (which is quite normal), <name>GoldED+</name> looks for
the RA environment variable and if found, in the RA config files
for the RA version.
</p>
<p>
If the size does not match either of them (indicating a possibly
damaged userfile), <name>GoldED+</name> exits with an error message and writes
in the log with details of the problem and an advise to run a
userbase packing utility.
</p>
<p>
If used, this keyword should be placed in the configuration file
_after_ any AREAFILE keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=RCVDISABLESCFM>
<head>
RCVDISABLESCFM &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
If this keyword defined to "no" then GoldEd will recognize RRq
(receipt request) and/or CFM (confirmation) flag on messages with
RCV (received) flag set. After that RRq and CFM flags will be
resetted. It is useful if your netmail tracker sets RCV flag
before you actually read messages.

<p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
REGISTERNAME
</head>
<p>
These keywords do nothing and won't do anything in the future.
They were used when <name>GoldED+</name> was a Shareware product.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
REM
</head>
<p>
This keyword ignores everything behind it. This is useful to
comment a single line out.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
REPLYLINK &lt;chain/direct&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defaults to "direct" for JAM and "chain" for everything else.
</p>
<p>
If set to "direct", <name>GoldED+</name> will link your reply directly to the
original message. If set to "chain", it will link to the last
message in the reply chain. The default ("chain") is how <name>GoldED+</name>
has done it in all previous versions.
</p>
<p>
The advantage of the "direct" linking method is that you can
easily find the the original message the reply was for. Unless of
course you have later re-linked using a chain-linking replylinker
utility. I can recommend the utility SQLINK by Serge Terekhov.
SQLINK links Squish areas using the MSGID/REPLY kludges and makes
direct links instead of chain-linking on the subject line like
most other replylinkers do. There are probably also similar
replylinkers for other msgbase formats, I just don't know them.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
REPLYLINKLIST &lt;fast/full&gt;
</head>
<p>
(fast)
</p>
<p>
When there is more than one reply to a msg in a JAM or Squish
area, <name>GoldED+</name> pops up a list of the replies. This keyword affects
the contents of the list.
</p>
<p>
In the "fast" mode, the list data is based solely on what can be
found by reading the message header, which is quite fast.
Unfortunately some software does not (or cannot) fill the header
with the correct origination address. In that case, set this
keyword to "full", which makes <name>GoldED+</name> read and scan each message
for control data to get the origination address. That can be very
slow.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=ROBOTNAME>
<head>
ROBOTNAME &lt;name&gt;
</head>
<p>
A "robot" is a program on the Boss or Uplink system which responds
automatically to netmail messages. Usually the robot links or
unlinks echomail areas or distributed files.
</p>
<p>
The following ROBOTNAME's are defined by default:
</p>
<p>
AreaFix, AreaMgr, FileFix, AreaLink, AllFix, Raid, GEcho.
</p>
<p>
If you write a netmail message where the TO: name is one of the
robot names, <name>GoldED+</name> will ignore any template definition, and give
you a blank msg (possibly with a tearline) to edit.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENBLANKER &lt;seconds&gt; &lsqb;BLACK&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
(180)
</p>
<p>
If non-zero, <name>GoldED+</name> will blank the screen after the defined number
of seconds, and put a small moving window up instead. Hitting any
key (including shiftkeys) will return the screen to normal. If
zero, no blanking is done.
</p>
<p>
If the additional parameter "BLACK" is given, <name>GoldED+</name> will switch
the screen completely black instead of showing its own animated
screenblanker. This is useful if you have a monitor with
powersaving-features.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
SCREENBLANKER 300 BLACK
</p>
<p>
NOTE: This feature only works if KEYBMODE is set to "poll".
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENMAXCOL &lt;columns&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
On some systems, <name>GoldED+</name> may no detect the correct display size.
With this keyword you can force a specific size. If zero,
autodetect is used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENMAXROW &lt;rows&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
On some systems, <name>GoldED+</name> may not detect the correct display size.
With this keyword you can force a specific size. If zero,
autodetect is used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENPALETTE &lt;reg&gt; &lt;value&gt; OR &lt;reg&gt; (red green blue)
</head>
<p>
You can change the color palette used in <name>GoldED+</name>. The palette has
16 color registers, corresponding to the 16 colors from black (0)
to intense white (15). By changing the values in the palette
registers, it is possible to make any of the 16 colors a
completely different color. You can even make the background
colors intense, without using the intense color feature. There are
64 different colors to chose from.
</p>
<p>
To configure the palette colors in <name>GoldED+</name>, the SCREENPALETTE
keyword is used. There are two different syntaxes:
</p>
<p>
SCREENPALETTE &lt;reg&gt; &lt;value&gt;
SCREENPALETTE &lt;reg&gt; (red green blue)
</p>
<p>
So you can either compose the color value using separate red,
green, blue components, or directly use a precalculated value. The
red/green/blue values can only be in the range 0-3.
</p>
<p>
These are the original palette values:
</p>
<p>
SCREENPALETTE 0 (0 0 0)
SCREENPALETTE 1 (0 0 2)
SCREENPALETTE 2 (0 2 0)
SCREENPALETTE 3 (0 2 2)
SCREENPALETTE 4 (2 0 0)
SCREENPALETTE 5 (2 0 2)
SCREENPALETTE 6 (2 2 0)
SCREENPALETTE 7 (2 2 2)
SCREENPALETTE 8 (1 1 1)
SCREENPALETTE 9 (1 1 3)
SCREENPALETTE 10 (1 3 1)
SCREENPALETTE 11 (1 3 3)
SCREENPALETTE 12 (3 1 1)
SCREENPALETTE 13 (3 1 3)
SCREENPALETTE 14 (3 3 0)
SCREENPALETTE 15 (3 3 3)
</p>
<p>
Copy these lines into your GOLDED.CFG and start experimenting&excl; :-)
</p>
<p>
If you have written a program to edit the palette and write a
<name>GoldED+</name> palette setup file, please don't keep it a secret&excl; :-)
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENSHADOWS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, all relevant windows and menus in <name>GoldED+</name> will have
shadows.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENSIZE &lt;mode&gt;
</head>
<p>
(Auto)
</p>
<p>
Use this to force <name>GoldED+</name> to use either 25 lines, 43/50 lines on
EGA/VGA, or even special videomodes supported by your SuperVGA
adapter (modes like 132x44, 100x40 or 80x60).
</p>
<p>
The &lt;mode&gt; can be one of the following:
</p>
<p>
Auto Use detected size.
25 Switch to 25 lines.
28 Switch to 28 lines.
4350 Switch to 43/50 lines.
Mode &lt;NN&gt; Switch to videomode NN (a hexadecimal value).
</p>
<p>
Please check your video adapter manual carefully before trying out
the Mode option. SELECTING A WRONG MODE CAN DAMAGE YOUR MONITOR&excl;&excl;&excl;
</p>
<p>
The Mode option is ignored in the W32 and OS/2 version.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SCREENUSEBIOS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will use standard BIOS calls for screen
updates. This is VERY slow, and should only be used if really
needed. Normally <name>GoldED+</name> uses direct screen writes.
</p>
<p>
This feature is only interpreted in the DOS version.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SEARCHFOR>
<head>
SEARCHFOR &lsqb;"&rsqb;&lt;string&verbar;string&verbar;..&gt;&lsqb;"&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
Defines a set of search strings, separated by the '&verbar;' character.
The search set defined here is the default when using the Alt-F/Z
search functions or the marking system.
</p>
<p>
The '&verbar;' character works like an OR operator. That is, the search
is successful if one OR more of the strings are matched. The '&amp;'
character is used as the logical AND operator.
</p>
<p>
Please refer to appropriate section in user's guide for more
information.
</p>
<p>
Older versions used the ';' semicolon character as a separator,
but that conflicts with the config reader which treats the
semicolon in a special way. The semicolon is still accepted as
separator char like '&verbar;', but if semicolons are used, you MUST
enclose the search strings with quotes or the config reader will
treat the first semicolon as the start of a comment.
</p>
<p>
Examples:
</p>
<p>
SEARCHFOR string1
SEARCHFOR string1&verbar;string2&verbar;stringx
SEARCHFOR "string1;string2;stringx"
SEARCHFOR "string 1"&verbar;string2&amp;stringx
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in Random System groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SEMAPHORE>
<head>
SEMAPHORE &lt;type&gt; &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
This keyword defines "semaphore" files, for use with other mailer
and/or mail processing software.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;type&gt; can be one of the following:
</p>
<p>
NETSCAN Empty netmail scan file (for D'Bridge/FD).
ECHOSCAN Empty echomail scan file (for D'Bridge).
EXPORTLIST Echoid-list of your new messages.
IMPORTLIST Echoid-list of new imported messages.
</p>
<p>
The semaphore files are placed in the AREAPATH, if no path is
specified.
</p>
<p>
See the example .CFG files for typical semaphore filenames.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: You should not set SEMAPHORE EXPORTLIST to
%JAMPATH%&bsol;ECHOMAIL.JAM. This is incorrect and probably may cause
your mail processor to malfunction. Use the JAMPATH keyword
instead.
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> can handle enviroment variables correctly in paths
specified in connection with this keyword. For example, if a path
is defined as %MAIL%&bsol;path&bsol;name, and SET MAIL=C:&bsol;POINT is in
AUTOEXEC.BAT (or whatever), then <name>GoldED+</name> translates the path to
C:&bsol;POINT&bsol;path&bsol;name.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: The translation is done at config compile time, so if you
change the environment variable and haven't changed anything else
that would cause <name>GoldED+</name> to recompile it's config, you must force
it with the -F or -FF command parameter.
</p>
<p>
In addition, <name>GoldED+</name> itself can watch for some semaphore files and
execute the appropiate function if it is in the arealist screen.
This can be useful if you have a multitasking system and you want
to "tell" <name>GoldED+</name> that there is new mail in some areas and <name>GoldED+</name>
should update its display correctly.
</p>
<p>
In detail, there are
</p>
<p>
EXITNOW &lt;file&gt; Quit immediately.
SCANALL &lt;file&gt; Scan all areas
SCANNETMAIL &lt;file&gt; Scan all netmail areas
SCANTHIS &lt;file&gt; Scan the areas listed in the file
PMSCANALL &lt;file&gt; PM-scan all areas
PMSCANNETMAIL &lt;file&gt; PM-scan all netmail areas
PMSCANTHIS &lt;file&gt; PM-scan the areas listed in the file
QWKIMPORT &lt;file&gt; Import QWK packets
QWKEXPORT &lt;file&gt; Export to QWK
SOUPIMPORT &lt;file&gt; Import SOUP packets
SOUPEXPORT &lt;file&gt; Export to SOUP
IDLETIME &lt;seconds&gt; Number of seconds between checks
</p>
<p>
If SEMAPHORE IDLETIME is defined and non-zero, then <name>GoldED+</name> will
check this list of semaphore files when the user has not pressed a
key in the specified number of seconds. The semaphores are only
checked when the arealist screen is active. If a semaphore file is
found, the file is deleted and then the action is performed. If no
path is given for the files, the GOLDPATH is assumed.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
SEMAPHORE SCANALL SCANALL.NOW
SEMAPHORE IDLETIME 30
</p>
<p>
This causes <name>GoldED+</name> to check every 30 seconds for the SCANALL.NOW
file in the GOLDPATH, and scan all areas if it's found.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SERIALNO
</head>
<p>
Everything mentioned above about REGISTERKEY and REGISTERNAME
applied to this keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SHAREMODE><head>SHAREMODE &lt;yes/no/mode#&gt;</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> opens all files in a SHARE.EXE compatible mode.
</p>
<p>
The default share-mode is "Share Deny None", but another may be
specified directly if you give the mode number as the keyword
parameter (decimal).
</p>
<p>
It is normally not necessary to change the default.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SOUNDPATH>
<head>
SOUNDPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
(defaults to the GOLDPATH)
</p>
<p>
Tells <name>GoldED+</name> where to find the sound files for the PLAY and EVENT
keywords.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPBADMSGS &lt;echoid&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the area where "bad messages" from SOUP packets can be
tossed. It should be an echomail or newsgroup area.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPEMAIL &lt;echoid&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the area where Internet e-mails can be tossed. It must
be a netmail or e-mail area.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SOUPEXPORTMARGIN>
<head>
SOUPEXPORTMARGIN &lt;margin&gt;
</head>
<p>
(76)
</p>
<p>
This is the margin that <name>GoldED+</name> will hard-wrap to when exporting to
SOUP packets. If you're getting complaints that your lines are too
long, you may want to set this to 70 or 60.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: You should NOT enable EDITHARDTERM in email and newsgroups
that are exported to SOUP. If you do, your messages will probably
be exported with short line "droppings" after the wrapping margin.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPEXPORTPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path where outgoing SOUP reply packet files (REPLIES and
GOLD*.MSG) can be placed.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPIMPORTPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Path where the incoming SOUP packet files (AREAS and *.MSG) can be
found.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPNEWSRCFILE &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
Name with full path of the NEWSRC file which lists the newsgroups
you are connected to. <name>GoldED+</name> uses the list to mark the matching
areas as newsgroups. These will then be scanned for outgoing mail
when starting a SOUP export.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPREPLYLINKER &lt;cmd&gt;
</head>
<p>
Commandline for a replylinker program to call after SOUP import.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPREPLYTO &lt;internet-address&gt;
</head>
<p>
Internet-Address other users should use when they respond to your
mails (Reply-To Headerline).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SOUPTOSSLOG &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
Name of a file where <name>GoldED+</name> puts the echoids (newsgroup names) of
each area where articles have been imported. The tosslog file is
intended to be used with a replylinker. If no path is given, it
defaults to the GOLDPATH.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SQUISHDIRECT &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, then in Squish areas, if the DIR (direct) attribute is
set on a message, <name>GoldED+</name> will automatically set both the CRA
(crash) and HLD (hold) attributes when saving the message.
</p>
<p>
According to the Squish Developers Kit, this is the way to tell
SquishMail that a message should be routed direct, because
SquishMail does not recognize the FLAGS kludge where the DIR
attribute is normally found. This keyword should probably only be
used with SquishMail (the mail processor) and then only when used
with Binkley or other so-called "static" mailers. DON'T use it
with FrontDoor&excl;
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
SQUISHSCAN &lt;api/quick&gt;
</head>
<p>
(quick)
</p>
<p>
Specfies whether to use a quick scanning method which only looks
in the .SQI files. This will normally work fine, but may fail
slightly in obscure cases, especially when used with Squish 1.0x
or programs using the old version of the MSGAPI. If you suspect
problems, try to set this keyword to "api", which tells <name>GoldED+</name> to
look in the .SQD file for an exact count of active msgs in the
.SQI file.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: <name>GoldED+</name> does NOT use the original MSGAPI by Scott Dudley.
Since version 2.50, a completely rewritten implementation is used.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SQUISHUSERNO>
<head>
SQUISHUSERNO &lt;index&gt;
</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
This sets the lastread index number for the Squish *.SQL lastread
files. Lowest number is 0 (zero), highest is (in theory) 65534.
</p>
<p>
If used, this disables the use of USER.BBS to find the index
number, and will in effect also stop <name>GoldED+</name> from creating USER.BBS
or any new entries in it (useful in a single-user point system).
If a Squish msgbase is shared between several users, and you don't
want to have a USER.BBS (recommended in such a case), each user
must have a unique SQUISHUSERNO in their GOLDED/GOLDAREA.CFG.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=SQUISHUSERPATH>
<head>
SQUISHUSERPATH &lt;path&gt;&lsqb;file&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
This keyword defines the path where <name>GoldED+</name> can find and use/create
your USER.BBS file, which is used in connection with the Squish
area lastreads. You can also specify the exact filename if not
USER.BBS.
</p>
<p>
If this path or filename is not defined, <name>GoldED+</name> will instead take
the one specified with AREAFILE Squish or AREAFILE Maximus
(whichever comes first), or failing that, use the MAXIMUS or
SQUISH environment variables. If even that fails, the AREAPATH or
GOLDPATH is used. If AREAFILE Maximus is used, <name>GoldED+</name> gets the
filename from MAX.PRM.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=STATUSLINECLOCK>
<head>
STATUSLINECLOCK &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will display a clock in HH:MM:SS format in the
right side of the statusline.
</p>
<p>
You can redefine the clock format with the language keyword
ST_STATUSLINETIMEFMT in GOLDLANG.CFG. See the Language Definition
chapter to details about the date/time codes you can use.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: The clock will only run continuously if KEYBMODE is set to
"poll".
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=STATUSLINEHELP>
<head>
STATUSLINEHELP &lt;yes/no/nologo&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If set to YES, <name>GoldED+</name> will replace the "logo" in the left side of
the statusline with a text saying "F1 Help". This is for use in
"point package" setups where the user may be a complete novice,
maybe even to computers, and who needs to be guided to the help
screens. The "F1 Help" text is configurable with the
ST_STATUSLINEHELP language keyword (put it in GOLDLANG.CFG).
</p>
<p>
If set to NO, <name>GoldED+</name> will display it's logo (name and version) in
the left side of the statusline.
</p>
<p>
If set to NOLOGO, <name>GoldED+</name> will not display anything in the left
side. The middle part is extended to fill the space on the left
side.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
STYLECODES &lt;yes/hide/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(hide)
</p>
<p>
If enabled (yes or hide), <name>GoldED+</name> will highlight text surrounded by
one of the following characters in a different color: '*' for bold
text, '/' for italic text, '_' for underlined text and '#' for
reversed text. These are commonly used "stylecodes" which add
emphasis to the text, without making it harder to read. Examples:
*This* will be shown in bold color, /this/ in italic color and
_this_ in underlined color. It is also possible to combine styles,
such as */this/*, in bolditalic color.
</p>
<p>
The differ in yes and hide is that hide strips surrounding
stylecodes.
</p>
<p>
Described values are specific to -asa. Official vesions starting
at 3.00beta3 has bug in implementation which causes GoldEd to
ignore this keyword. Realization of this keyword in -asa versions
compatible with official versions prior to 3.00beta3.
</p>
<p>
To define the highlight colors, use COLOR STYLECODE. See the color
chapter for details.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
STYLECODEPUNCT &lt;"charlist"&gt;
</head>
<p>
(<q>&excl;&bsol;&quot;&dollar;%&amp;()+,.:;&lt;=&gt;@&lsqb;&bsol;&rsqb;^`&lcub;&verbar;&rcub;~</q>)
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
STYLECODESTOPS &lt;"charlist"&gt;
</head>
<p>
("")
</p>
<p>
The STYLECODEPUNCT keyword specifies all the characters that
punctuates words. The stylecode line parser scans forward until it
meets one of these characters and then looks back to see if it
found a word with stylecodes around it.
</p>
<p>
The STYLECODESTOPS keyword specifies characters which, if found
within the word to be highlighted, causes the highlight to be
cancelled.
</p>
<p>
These keywords were added to allow users to experiment with the
characters for punctuation and stop for stylecode sequences. This
is mostly to illustrate the point that it is almost impossible to
make stylecodes work in every case you want without getting a lot
of false highlights too. Please keep in mind that stylecodes are,
and always will be, a primitive and very error-prone method for
adding highlights to message text. The defaults are:
</p>
<p>
STYLECODEPUNCT <q>&excl;&bsol;&quot;&dollar;%&amp;()+,.:;&lt;=&gt;@&lsqb;&bsol;&rsqb;^`&lcub;&verbar;&rcub;~</q>
STYLECODESTOPS <q></q>
</p>
<p>
Note that the double-quote (&quot;) must have the backslash (&bsol;) in
front of it - the sequence (&bsol;&quot;) is translated to a single (&quot;).
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TAGLINE>
<head>
TAGLINE &lt;string or filename&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines one or more taglines. A tagline collection filename can be
specified if prepended with an '@' character, like this: TAGLINE
@TAGLINE.LST. If a tagline collection file is used, <name>GoldED+</name> will
create an index file for it the first time it is used or any time
the file is edited. The index file has the same name, but
extension ".SDX". The index file is an array of 32-bit long
integers, containing the offset of each line in the tagline
collection file.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
<p>
Taglines defined in the Random System *always* overrides the
default global taglines defined with this keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TAGLINECHAR>
<head>
TAGLINECHAR &lt;char&gt;
</head>
<p>
('.')
</p>
<p>
Defines the character <name>GoldED+</name> uses when putting a tagline in your
message. The default is '.'. You should not change this default.
<name>GoldED+</name> itself only recognizes taglines with '.' or '_'
(underscore).
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TAGLINESUPPORT>
<head>
TAGLINESUPPORT &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
Allows you to turn off the internal tagline support, in case it
turns out to be too buggy or if you want to use one of the many
good external tagline utilties out there instead.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TASKTITLE &lt;string&gt;
</head>
<p>
(@longpid)
</p>
<p>
Sets window title in Win32 and OS/2 versions, ignored in other.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TEARLINE>
<head>
TEARLINE &lt;string&gt;
</head>
<p>
(@longpid @version)
</p>
<p>
Here you can define your default tearline. The tearline can be up
to 76 chars long (excluding the leading "--- "), but beware that
policies (such as FidoNet ECHOPOL1) may set a significantly lower
limit (around 30).
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
<p>
Tearlines defined in the Random System *always* overrides the
default tearline defined with this keyword.
</p>
<p>
If your tearline does not contain at least the string "GoldED" or
"GED", <name>GoldED+</name> will automatically insert it's PID kludge. See also
description of USEPID keyword.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TEMPLATE>
<head>
TEMPLATE &lt;file&gt; &lsqb;"desc"&rsqb; &lsqb;match-address&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
(GOLDED.TPL)
</p>
<p>
You can define many different template files. The templates can be
switched using the READchangetemplate (Ctrl-T) popup menu or the
EDITMENU.
</p>
<p>
The optional "desc" can be used to give the templates more
meaningful names like "International template" instead of
non-obvious names like "GOLDED.TPL". If a description is used, it
must appear before the match-address. It must always be enclosed
in quotes, even if it is only one word.
</p>
<p>
The match-address is an address mask (wildcards allowed) which can
be used to tell <name>GoldED+</name> to select that template if the destination
address on a message you write matches the match-address. The
matching will only take place if the TEMPLATEMATCH keyword has
been enabled.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group. In
Random System groups, only the &lt;file&gt; parameter can be used.
</p>
<p>
Templates defined in Random System groups always override the
globally defined templates, except when selected from the EDITMENU
or when automatic template matching is in effect.
</p>
<p>
To override the automatic template matching, start by selecting a
template manually using the READchangetemplate (Ctrl-T) command or
the EDITMENU.
</p>
<p>
Currently only one match-address per template can be specified,
but you can specify several TEMPLATE keywords for the same file.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
// Use DANSK.TPL for messages to Danish nodes/points.
TEMPLATE DANSK.TPL "Danish" 2:23/*
TEMPLATE DANSK.TPL "Danish" 2:234/*
TEMPLATE DANSK.TPL "Danish" 2:235/*
TEMPLATE DANSK.TPL "Danish" 2:236/*
TEMPLATE DANSK.TPL "Danish" 2:237/*
TEMPLATE DANSK.TPL "Danish" 2:238/*
</p>
<p>
// Use INTERNET.TPL for messages to the WinBoss gateway
TEMPLATE INTERNET.TPL "Internet" 2:230/9316
</p>
<p>
// Use ENGLISH.TPL for messages to everywhere else
TEMPLATE ENGLISH.TPL "English" *
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TEMPLATEMATCH>
<head>
TEMPLATEMATCH &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will select a template which matches the
destination address on messages that you write. This keyword can
be used globally or in random system groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TEMPLATEPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
(defaults to the GOLDPATH)
</p>
<p>
Defines the default path for msg templates. Use this if you want
to place templates in a path separate from the GOLDPATH.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TEMPPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defines the directory where temporary files are placed by <name>GoldED+</name>
and GoldNODE.
</p>
<p>
This path should *NOT* point to a RAM disk or other volatile
media&excl;
</p>
<p>
GoldNODE uses this path to store a temporary file which can become
as large as the largest index file (GOLDNODE.GXN), so again, don't
point it to a small RAM disk. If GoldNODE cannot find a TEMPPATH,
it will use the NODEPATH instead.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TIMEOUT><head>TIMEOUT &lt;seconds&gt;</head>
<p>
(0)
</p>
<p>
Similar to the screen blanking (SCREENBLANKER) feature, <name>GoldED+</name> can
auto-exit after a specified period of time. Useful if you are in a
hurry (or didn't get enough sleep last night ;-), and run <name>GoldED+</name>
from your mailer shell. The timeout value can be overridden with
the -T commandline option.
</p>
<p>
NOTE: This feature only works if KEYBMODE is set to "poll".
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TIMEOUTSAVEMSG &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If set to YES, <name>GoldED+</name> behaves as usual: It saves the (perhaps
partially written) msg text in the internal editor to the msgbase
and exits. If set to NO, <name>GoldED+</name> will save the msg text in
GOLDED.MSG just as if EDITAUTOSAVE function was in use and the
power went out. Next time you started <name>GoldED+</name> and entered a msg, it
would detect the "lost" msg and ask you if it should be continued.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TITLESTATUS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled then brief status will be added to title. (Win32 and
OS/2 versions only)
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=TWITMODE>
<head>
TWITMODE &lt;mode&gt;
</head>
<p>
(Blank)
</p>
<p>
In <name>GoldED+</name> you can define several "Twit" names, addresses or
subjects. With this keyword you can specify the action taken when
a Twit message is encountered.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;mode&gt; can be one of the following:
</p>
<p>
Show Show twit messages.
Blank Blank twit messages.
Skip Skip twit messages, unless to your USERNAME's.
Ignore Skip twit messages, always.
Kill Deletes twit messages, *without* confirmation&excl;
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TWITNAME &lt;name/address&gt;
</head>
<p>
With this keyword, you can specify "Twit" names and/or addresses.
When a Twit name/address is detected, the TWITMODE setting will
determine the action taken.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TWITSUBJ &lt;"string"&gt;
</head>
<p>
With this keyword, you can specify "Twit" subjects. When a Twit
subject is detected, the TWITMODE setting will determine the
action taken. The subject string is searched in the entire subject
text, so you can specify a partial twit subject. Twit subjects are
limited to maximum 35 characters.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
TWITTO &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> will check both from- and to-names when
checking for twitnames. By default only the from-names are
checked.
</p>
<p>
This is a global keyword and won't work as intended if used in a
random system group.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=UNPACKER>
<head>
UNPACKER
</head>
<p>
Added ability to READ packed messagebases. You need to add PKD
attribute to such echo definition and specify UNPACKER for the
extension defined. You should pack all files from the single
messagebase to the archive with the same name. For *.msg areas you
should add the directory as well. When entering to the archived area
UNPACKER will be executed to unpack files to TEMPPATH. On exit, all
files will be deleted.
New UNPACKER keyword have the following syntax:
UNPACKER &gt;extension&lt; &gt;<q/commandline/&lt;
The commandline should provide the ability to extract all files from
@file.&lt;extension&gt; to the current directory. F.e.:
UNPACKER zip <q/unzip @file/
Note that all changes to the messagebase will be discarded.
This feature is not supported for Hudson and GoldBase messagebases.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=USEAREA>
<head>
USEAREA &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If set to no then GoldEd will not recognize <gi/AREA/ kludge.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USECHARSET &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If set to no then GoldEd will not generate @CHRS and @CHARSET
kludges.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USEFLAGS &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> inserts the FLAGS kludge for certain extended
attributes, as defined in FSC-0053 by Joaquim H. Homrighausen, and
supported by FrontDoor, D'Bridge, IMail and other modern software.
<name>GoldED+</name> uses FLAGS to emulate the Hold and Freq attributes which
are not defined in the Hudson message format.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=USEFWD>
<head>
USEFWD &lt;yes/no/ask&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, <name>GoldED+</name> inserts the FSC-0092 kludges introduced by the
author of FleetStreet, Michael Hohner. These are
</p>
<p>
FWDFROM The original From-Name
FWDORIG The original From-Aka
FWDTO The original TO-Field
FWDDEST The original TO-aka (only in netmails)
FWDSUBJ The original subject
FWDAREA The original areatag
FWDMSGID The original MSGID (useful for reply-linking)
</p>
<p>
When forwarding, <name>GoldED+</name> now adds these kludges, unless the
original message already contains them, in which case they are
preserved. When doing a normal reply (Alt-Q or Alt-R) to a message
with the FWD kludges, <name>GoldED+</name> replies to the forwarder. To reply to
the from-name in the forwarded message, use the comment-reply
function (Alt-G). If the message contains the FWDAREA kludge, you
can reply to the forwarder in the original area (Alt-N) or reply
to the from-name in the original area (Alt-B). Note that it is not
possible to reply to the to-name of a message with the FWD
kludges, and it is also not possible to reply to the to-name of
the forwarded message (the FWDTO name).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USEINTL &lt;type&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
The INTL kludge is normally only inserted in netmail messages, if
the origination zone is different from the destination zone (the
"Auto" setting), but on systems with many AKA's in the mailer, it
might be useful/necessary to add it ALWAYS (the "Yes" setting).
The "No" option should never be used.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;type&gt; can be one of the following:
</p>
<p>
Auto Only insert in inter-zone netmail.
Yes Always insert. Recommended and default.
No Never insert.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USEMSGID &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, the MSGID kludge is inserted in netmail and echomail,
and the REPLY kludge is inserted when replying to a msg with a
MSGID.
</p>
<p>
The MSGID kludge is defined in FidoNet document FTS-9.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USEPID &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no if GoldEd mentioned in tearline, yes otherwise)
</p>
<p>
If disabled then @PID kludge will not be used in your messages
regardless of tearline contents.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USERLIST &lt;file&gt; &lsqb;zone/addr&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
In addition to normal nodelist support, <name>GoldED+</name> also supports the
"FIDOUSER.LST" style userlist format. The default zone is defined
by the first ADDRESS or AKA, but can be overridden by adding the
zone number or a full address after the filename.
</p>
<p>
&lt;file&gt; Userlist file in FIDOUSER.LST format.
&lsqb;zone/addr&rsqb; Default address for the userlist (if no zone info
is present).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
USERLISTFILE &lt;file&gt;
</head>
<p>
(GOLDED.LST)
</p>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> can generate a list of all users in the current area. This
keyword defines the default name of the FIDOUSER.LST style
userlist output file generated with the READmakeuserlist command.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=USERNAME>
<head>
USERNAME &lt;name&gt;&lsqb;&lsqb;,&rsqb;&lt; &gt;address&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
You can define many different names/aliases. When <name>GoldED+</name> finds an
un-received message to one of your USERNAME's, it is marked as
received. Useful if you use alias names in some conferences. It is
possible to change the current name using the READchangeusername
popup menu.
</p>
<p>
For msgbase formats with an associated user database, <name>GoldED+</name> uses
the *first* defined USERNAME to look in the user database for
which lastread record to use. If your name is not found, it is
added and a new lastread record created.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
USERNAME Odinn Sorensen, 2:236/77.999
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=USETZUTC>
<head>
USETZUTC &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Activates usage of TZUTC kludge in your messages. You should
properly setup timezone information in your OS. For example,
in DOS you should set environment variable TZ to something
like this:
</p>
<p>
TZ=MSK-3MSD,M3.5.0/02:00,M10.5.0/03:00
</p>
<p>
This line valid for Moscow, Russia.
</p>
<p>
This option could be used in random system groups.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
UUDECODEPATH &lt;path&gt;
</head>
<p>
Specifies the path where files are placed when using the uudecode
feature. Files are placed in current directory if a path is not
specified.
</p>
<p>
The specified path *must* exist &excl;
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=VIEWHIDDEN>
<head>
VIEWHIDDEN &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
Hidden lines are "unknown" kludge lines. If enabled, hidden lines
will be displayed (in a different color) when reading msgs.
</p>
<p>
A hidden line is defined as a line which has the FidoNet kludge
char (^a, ASCII 1) as the first char and is not on the list of
internally or user defined known kludges.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
<p>
IMPORTANT NOTE:
</p>
<p>
In some conferences the hidden lines are used to give witty
comment "between the lines" in the plain text, but generally it is
considered a bad practice and should be avoided because it may
cause severe technical problems if a witty comment in a hidden
line happens to match a (perhaps experimentally) defined kludge
somewhere. It should also be noted that hidden lines are not kept
in their original places when used in the JAM msgbase. This is due
to the way the JAM specification stores FidoNet kludges.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=VIEWKLUDGE>
<head>
VIEWKLUDGE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(no)
</p>
<p>
If enabled, known kludge lines will be displayed (in a different
color) when reading msgs.
</p>
<p>
Known kludges are those defined internally in <name>GoldED+</name> plus those
defined with the KLUDGE keyword.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.
</p>
</div2>
<div2 id=VIEWQUOTE>
<head>
VIEWQUOTE &lt;yes/no&gt;
</head>
<p>
(yes)
</p>
<p>
This is an experimental feature. It is similar to the VIEWHIDDEN
and VIEWKLUDGE keywords, but for quoted text. I implemented it
because I was annoyed with the excessive quoting often seen in
Internet newsgroups. When this keyword is set to NO, <name>GoldED+</name>
attempts to trim down the quotes so that only the first line of
each quote block is shown. It is not always successful, sometimes
the result is not so useful.
</p>
<p>
A key command has been added to supplement this feature:
READtogglequote. Suggested key assignment: Ctrl-V. Example:
</p>
<p>
^V READtogglequote
</p>
<p>
Try it out if you are annoyed with excessive quotes.
</p>
<p>
This keyword can be used globally and in a Random System group.

Obsolete Keywords
</head>
<p>
This is a list of keywords which were used in various older versions.
These keywords are now obsolete, either because they have been renamed
or replaced, or if they no longer have any function. Most of the
keywords are still active and remapped to the new names.
</p>
<p>
To check if you have obsolete keywords in your setup, run <name>GoldED+</name> with
the -F -D commandline parameters. Then if you get a number of "Unknown
keyword" warnings, you should replace the old keywords with the new
ones or remove them.

<div1 id=AREACONFIGURATION><head>Area Configuration</head>
<p>
GoldED offers a wide variety of methods for defining message areas.
You can define each area manually in the GOLDED.CFG file (or an
INCLUDE'ed GOLDAREA.CFG file), or you can tell <name>GoldED+</name> to read the area
setup files of many popular BBS/mailer/mail processor packages.
</p>
<p>
For manual definition of areas, use the AREA or AREADEF (recommened)
keywords.
</p>
<p>
For external area configuration, the general syntax for the AREAFILE
keyword is:
</p>
<p>
AREAFILE &lt;programname&gt; &lsqb;path or filename(s)&rsqb; &lsqb;-options&rsqb;
</p>
<p>
Available options:
</p>
<p>
-S&lt;sortspec&gt;
</p>
<p>
If you are *not* using the global AREALISTSORT keyword for sorting
all the areas, you can sort the areas of each AREAFILE separately.
See the AREALISTSORT keyword for the definition of &lt;sortspec&gt;.
</p>
<p>
If no path is specified, the appropriate environment variable or the
AREAPATH is used to find the files.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;programname&gt; can be one of the following:
</p>
<div2>
<head>
AdeptXBBS
</head>
<p>
Reads the AdeptXBBS configuration files.
</p>
<p>
Looks for the ADEPTXBBS environment variable.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
AreasBBS
</head>
<p>
<name>GoldED+</name> is can handle a wide variety of AREAS.BBS type files. It
can read and distinguish between the old CONFMAIL style with paths
for *.MSG areas, the Hudson/Goldbase style with board numbers, the
Squish style with "&dollar;basename" and the JAM style with "&excl;basename".
</p>
<p>
The disadvantage of using an AREAS.BBS is that there are no area
descriptions. The echoid is used as description instead. However,
<name>GoldED+</name> will use any text behind a semicolon on definition lines as
description. This may or may not be compatible with mail
processors, so be careful. A better solution may be to use the
AREAFILE Echolist to add descriptions from a separate file.
</p>
<p>
One or more AREAS.BBS files may be specified on the same line.
</p>
</div2>

<head>
Echolist
</head>
<p>
Reads a simple ascii-text file containing an echolist in this
format:
</p>
<p>
&lt;echoid&gt; &lt;description&gt;
</p>
<p>
or DZ-format (requires -DZ switch):
</p>
<p>
&lsqb;Status&rsqb;, Tag, Comment, Moderator's Name, Address,&lsqb;Flags&rsqb;
</p>
<p>
This feature adds descriptions to already existing areas in
<name>GoldED+</name>. Example:
</p>
<p>
AREAFILE AreasBBS AREAS.BBS
AREAFILE EchoList ECHOLIST.TXT
AREAFILE EchoList echo5020.lst -dz
</p>
<p>
Descriptions for unknown echoids are ignored. Blank lines and
lines beginning with characters which are illegal in echoids (such
as ';') are also ignored.
</p>
<p>
Additional switch -SqaFix could be used to read echolist and groups
from SqaFix configuration file:
</p>
<p>
AREAFILE Squish C:&bsol;SQUISH&bsol;
AREAFILE EchoList C:&bsol;SQUISH&bsol;SQAFIX.CFG -SqaFix

<div1 id=RANDOMSYSTEM><head>The Random System</head>
<p>
With the Random System, you can define area-specific sets of origins,
tearlines, templates, usernames and many other items. If
more than one item of each type is specified, a random one is picked -
a Random System. This is a very useful feature when (for example)
participating in conferences with different languages.
</p>
<p>
The Random System is built on the idea of "groups". A group is a
collection of "items", belonging to the group. You can assign one or
more echomail areas, designated by their echoid's to a group. Groups
can also be specified for just a single echo, and DOS/4DOS-style
wildcards can be used to simplify the assignment of echoes with common
strings in their name, such as *.DK, SIG.* and so on. In this way, you
could for example setup one group for all national echoes, another for
special local echoes, a third for international echoes etc.
</p>
<div2>
<head>
Defining Groups
</head>
<p>
The general syntax of a group definition is:
</p>
<p>
GROUP &lt;id&gt;&lsqb;:&rsqb;
; items go here
&lsqb;Member &lt;id list&gt;&rsqb;
ENDGROUP
</p>
<p>
The Group &lt;id&gt; can be one of three things:
</p>
<p>
1. A group letter or #number, matching the group letters or numbers
used in the AREAFILE's of D'Bridge, GEcho, IMAIL, TosScan and many
others. To use this feature, you need to enable the AREAFILEGROUPS
keyword.
</p>
<p>
2. An individual echoid or echoid mask (wildcards can be used). The
items are then simply defined below the Group line.
</p>
<p>
3. A group label, terminated by a colon (:). The group items are
defined below the Group line. Echoes are assigned to the group by
adding one or more Member statements.
</p>
<p>
You can't assign a group to another group. It will not harm, but it
also won't work :-)
</p>
<p>
The order of groups is very important. <name>GoldED+</name> scans the groups from
the top down. This means that the most general groups must be placed
at the bottom and exceptions (individual areas for example) must be
placed at the top.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Defining Random Items
</head>
<p>
The random items are defined much like in the main <name>GoldED+</name>
configuration file.
</p>
<p>
If more than one of each item is defined within a group, those items
will be picked randomly (hence the name "Random System"), while <name>GoldED+</name>
collects items when entering an area.
</p>

Random System Example
</head>
<p>
Below is an example of how a Random System could be setup. Note how
the letter group 'D' goes first, followed by the explicit group
definitions for the NERDS and FOO echoes. Then comes the more general
groups (those with Label:'s), where the echoes are assigned with one
or more Member statements. At last there is the catch-all "Group *",
which works as the default group.
</p>
<p>
=== Cut, GOLDRAND.CFG ===
</p>
<p>
Group NERDS ; For the NERDS echo.
Origin "I am a Nerd. Take me to your Loser&excl;"
</p>
<p>
Group FOO ; This group is *only* for the FOO echo.
Tearline FooED @rev
Origin "Foo-ing my day away"
</p>
<p>
Group FooEchoes:
Member *FOO* ; Use wildcards to catch any other foo echo.
Tearline FooED @rev
Origin "This is a Foo-lish origin"
</p>
<p>
Group FidoNet:
Member NET_DEV, WORLDPOL, INTERCOOK
Member GREEN.029, C_ECHO, C_PLUSPLUS
Origin "Fight-O-Net? Good name..."
Template FIDONET.TPL
Whoto Everyone
</p>
<p>
Group SigNet:
Member SIG.* ; The wildcard is VERY handy here ;-)
Origin "To SIG or not to SIG..."
Template SIGNET.TPL
</p>
<p>
Group D ; Letter D for Danish echoes.
Template DANSK.TPL
</p>
<p>
Group * ; This is default group
Origin "Yet another forgotten echo"
</p>
<p>
=== Uncut ===
</p>
<p>
See the example GOLDRAND.CFG in the ADVANCED archive for a real-life
setup similar to the one I use myself.

The Color Configuration
</head>
<p>
Color configuration in <name>GoldED+</name> is a bit complicated, and you probably
have to experiment quite a bit, if you want make your own setup. For
your convenience, I have added a number of example color setups,
provided by some of my many good users. I suggest you try them all and
use the one that suits you best, perhaps tuning it a bit to your
taste.
</p>
<p>
The COLOR keyword uses the following syntax:
</p>
<div2>
<head>
COLOR &lt;window&gt; &lt;part&gt; &lt;colors&gt;
</head>
<p>
&lt;window&gt; AREA, ASK, BACKGROUND, BRAG, HEADER, HELP, INFO, MENU,
READER, SHADOW, STATUS.
</p>
<p>
&lt;part&gt; BLOCK, BORDER, BTYPE, EDIT, HIDDEN, HIGHLIGHT, INPUT,
KLUDGE, NOSELECT, ORIGIN, QUOTE, SELECTOR, TEARLINE,
TITLE, WINDOW.
</p>
<p>
The &lt;colors&gt; are composed of &lsqb;blinking&rsqb; &lt;ink&gt; &lsqb;on &lt;paper&gt;&rsqb;.
</p>
<p>
&lt;ink&gt; Black, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Brown, LGrey,
DGrey, LBlue, LGreen, LCyan, LRed, LMagenta, Yellow,
White.
</p>
<p>
&lt;paper&gt; Black, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Brown, LGrey.
</p>
<p>
For monochrome setups we instead have:
</p>
<p>
&lt;ink&gt; Normal, Highlight, Reverse, Underline.
</p>
<p>
The SHADOW color does not need a &lt;part&gt;, because it is global.
</p>
<p>
The paper color always defaults to Black if not specified.
</p>
<p>
If &lt;part&gt; is "BTYPE", the &lt;color&gt; is a value in the range 0-3, which
defines the type of lines used when drawing menus and windows:
</p>
<p>
BTYPE 0 is single horizontal and single vertical lines.
BTYPE 1 is double horizontal and double vertical lines.
BTYPE 2 is single horizontal and double vertical lines.
BTYPE 3 is double horizontal and single vertical lines.
</p>
<p>
The default border type is always BTYPE 0.
</p>
<p>
The following is a description of the different window parts:
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Various general color items
</head>
<p>
SHADOW Shadow below windows and menus.
STATUS WINDOW Status line at the bottom.
BACKGROUND WINDOW Background for the startup window.
BACKGROUND BORDER Overscan color (currently DOS only).
</p>
<p>
&lt;anything&gt; PAGEBAR Pagebar (scrollbar).
</p>
<p>
The PAGEBAR color specifially sets the color of the pagebars
(scrollbars) in <name>GoldED+</name>. A pagebar color can currently be set for
AREA, READER and MENU. Note that BORDER will set both the BORDER and
PAGEBAR colors, so remember to place the PAGEBAR color below the
BORDER color.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Startup screen / logo window
</head>
<p>
BRAG WINDOW The Copyright window.
BRAG BORDER Lines around the Copyright window.

</p>
<p>
The KLUDGE/HIDDEN colors replaces the old KLUDHIDD color. Note that
KLUDHIDD will set both the KLUDGE and HIDDEN colors, so remember to
place the new colors below it if you keep the old definition.
</p>
<p>
The TAGLINE color is the color of taglines. <name>GoldED+</name> detects a tagline
if it starts with "..." or "___" and is just above the tearline or
origin.
</p>
<p>
The TEARLINE/ORIGIN colors replaces the old TEARORIG color. Note
that TEARORIG will set both the TEARLINE and ORIGIN colors, so
remember to place the new colors below it if you keep the old
definition.

The Message Template
</head>
<p>
The message template gives you a ready-made skeleton for writing your
messages in the editor. The template is one of <name>GoldED+</name>'s many strong
features. With this, you can eliminate the tedious typing of greetings
etc etc. <name>GoldED+</name> also provides a number of replacement strings,
"tokens", to dynamically add message specific information to the
template.
</p>
<p>
As in the configuration file, a semicolon (;) first on the line makes
the line a comment. Any other line is put into the editor file, after
token expansion. Tokens are not case sensitive.
</p>
<p>
The following is a list of the tokens available:
</p>
<div2>
<head>
Conditional tokens
</head>
<p>
(these are replaced with a null string)
</p>
<p>
@changed Line is only inserted in Changed msgs (from others).
@comment Line is only inserted in Reply-Comments.
@echo Line is only inserted in Echomail.
@forward Line is only inserted in Forwarded messages.
@local Line is only inserted in Local messages.
@moderator Line is only inserted if substring "moderator" appeared in
from line.
@moved Line is only inserted in Reply-Moved messages.
@net Line is only inserted in Netmail.
@new Line is only inserted in New messages (not replies).
@position Specifies the starting line for the editor cursor.
@quotebuf Line is only inserted in Quotebuffered msgs.
@quoted Line is only inserted in Quoted replies.
@reply Line is only inserted in Non-Quoted Replies.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Insert tokens
</head>
<p>
(anything else on the line is ignored)
</p>
<p>
@attrib &lt;attributes&gt; - Adds specific message attributes.
@include &lt;filename&gt; - Inserts the file.
@forcefrom &lt;"from"&gt; - sets message FROM: field, even if non-empty
(see @setfrom)
@forcesubj &lt;"subject"&gt; - sets message SUBJ: field, even if non-empty
(see @setsubj)
@forceto &lt;"to"&gt; - sets message TO: field, even if non-empty
(see @setto)
@loadlanguage Loads a partial language config file.
@message Inserts the original message (in Forward &amp; Change).
@quote Inserts a quote of the original message.
@random &lsqb;random.txt&rsqb; - Inserts random text.

@xlatexport &lt;charset&gt; - Sets the export charset.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>

@_taddr Destination to address (fixed width: 19 chars).
@_tname Destination to name (fixed width: 34 chars).
</p>
<p>
Tokens dealing with names may optionally have two parameters (each
parameter enclosed in curve brackets): your name and opponent name,
destination name additionally accepts third parameter - WhoTo name.
Here is example on how this feature could be used:
</p>
<p>
@oname&lcub;I&rcub;&lcub;You&rcub; wrote to @dname&lcub;me&rcub;&lcub;you&rcub;&lcub;everyone&rcub;:
</p>
<p>
The template text begins at the first non-comment line.
</p>
<p>
See the included GOLDED.TPL for example usage.
</p>
<p>
If you need to put some text which contains one of these tokens into a
template file, use an extra '@' in front of the token.
</p>
<p>
Example:
</p>
<p>
Internet: somebody@veryhot.com
</p>
<p>
would produce
</p>
<p>
Internet: somebody2.51yhot.com (because @ver is a token)
</p>
<p>
so write it like this instead:
</p>
<p>
Internet: somebody@@veryhot.com

The double '@' will then be translated to a single, and token

The Online Help System
</head>
<p>
GoldED has a built-in context sensitive help system, tied to the &lt;F1&gt;
key (one of the very few keys that cannot be reconfigured). It
contains a complete keyboard reference and help for most situations.
It is current not as complete or sophisticated as I'd like it myself,
but this may be improved in future versions.
</p>
<p>
You can completely redefine the help screens if you wish - the
GOLDHELP.CFG file is a plain ASCII text file which contains all help
definitions. The help file is split into several help categories. Here
is an example of a couple of defined help categories:
</p>
<p>
*B 1,Help Category 1
help text help text help text
help text help text help text
*P
help text help text help text
help text help text help text
*E
</p>
<p>
*B 2,Help Category 2
help text help text help text
help text help text help text
*P
help text help text help text
help text help text help text
See also: ^Help Category 1^
*E
</p>
<p>
The "*B" indicator specifies the beginning of a help category. The
format is "*B helpcatnumber&lsqb;,helpcatname&rsqb;". In <name>GoldED+</name> the help
categories are numbered 1000-9999, split into more or less logical
groups. See the help file for assignments. There should be only one
space between the "*B" and the help category number. The help category
name is only required for cross-references. If there are no
cross-references to that help category, then you can leave the
helpcatname parameter out.
</p>
<p>
The "*P" indicator specifies a page break and is optional. You may
have as many page breaks as you'd like. The "*E" indicator specifies
the end of the help category. The "*B", "*P", and "*E" indicators must
all begin in the first column. These indicators and the help category
name are case insensitive (can be in lowercase, uppercase, or mixed).
</p>
<p>
In the definition of Help Category 2, you will notice the
crossreference to Help Category 1. All cross-referencing is done by
embedding the cross- reference category name (not number) inside
carats (^). If you need to display a carat inside the help file, use a
double carat (^^).
</p>
<p>
Any text contained outside of the "*B" and "*E" is treated as
comments. If an "*E" is not found, then the end-of-file will be
treated as an "*E".
</p>
<p>
Not all of the help categories in this help file are actually used in
the current version of <name>GoldED+</name>. The ones not used are empty, except for
a two-line "header".
</p>
<p>
The usable dimensions of the help window are 60 columns by 16 lines.
In the help file there is a model of the actual window.

Character Translation
</head>
<p>
GoldED implements several different proposals for character
translation in imported and exported messages:
</p>
<div2>
<head>
FSC-0050 "Charset Identifier"
</head>
<p>
by Thomas Sundblom.
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FSC-0051 "I51"
</head>
<p>
by Thomas Gradin.
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
FSC-0054 "CHARSET proposal"
</head>
<p>
by Duncan McNutt.
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
No FSC "Composed Characters"
</head>
<p>
by Andre van de Wijdeven.
</p>
<p>
FSC-0050 is currently known to be implemented in the OPMED 3.xx
message editor, and in Opus 1.7x. It uses the same identifier as
FSC-0054 (a ^aCHARSET kludge), but is a lot simpler (but not
necessarily better).
</p>
<p>
The "I51" and "CHARSET" proposals are in the process of being merged
to one proposal, which should combine the advantages of both. They are
both based on using the LATIN-1 (also known as ISO 8859-1) character
set for extended ASCII. The LATIN-1 set is the same set used by
Windows 3.xx, Amiga and many other non-PC computers. In addition to
LATIN-1, I51 defines a set of so-called escape sequences for
characters not found in the LATIN-1 set.
</p>
<p>
"Composed Characters" became quite popular in Holland, but the author
decided to drop his proposal because it relied on escape sequences
using the so called "soft-cr" (141d, 8Dh) character. <name>GoldED+</name> will
continue to support Composed as long as it seems necessary.
</p>
<p>
If you want to know more about the details, I suggest you read the
proposals or contact the authors.
</p>
<p>
GoldED currently supports two types of translation tables, the *.ESC
files and the *.CHS files.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
The ESC translation tables
</head>
<p>
The *.ESC files are used for import translation of the escape
sequences defined in I51 and Composed Characters.
</p>
<p>
In the ESC files, the semicolon is used for comments. The *first*
non-comment line defines the charset the escape code are mapped TO.
This is normally IBMPC, and should not be changed. Any other
non-comment line is treated as an escape sequence definition with this
syntax:
</p>
<p>
&lt;esc1&gt;&lt;esc2&gt;&lt;space&gt;&lt;map chars&gt;&lsqb;; comment/description&rsqb;
</p>
<p>
Leading spaces are *not* allowed in ESC files. &lt;esc1&gt; and &lt;esc2&gt; are
the two characters that define the escape sequence. &lt;space&gt; is ignored
and can be used to make the table look better. &lt;map chars&gt; defines the
local representation of the escape sequence, up to three characters.
Normally you would only map to one extended ascii character. The map
chars can be either the characters themselves, or decimal or
hexadecimal numbers of the form "&bsol;d&lt;dec&gt;" or "&bsol;x&lt;hex&gt;" (like in the C
programming language).
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
The CHS translation tables
</head>
<p>
The *.CHS files are used for import and export translation of the
CHARSET type character sets, and export of I51 and Composed escape
sequences.
</p>
<p>
The CHS files uses the format of the raw text files provided in the
CHARSET3.ZIP example implementation of FSC-0054. Study some of the
files provided if you want to know how to define them.
</p>
<p>
The two keywords XLATESCSET and XLATCHARSET are used to define which
files belong to what import and export set. You can define more than
one import and export set for each file.
</p>
<p>
The keyword XLATIMPORT defines which charset you have on your own
machine - this would normally be "IBMPC". It can be useful to change
this (using the Random System) in areas where another character set
than IBMPC is the dominant (like Amiga or MacIntosh, whatever).
</p>
<p>
The keyword XLATEXPORT defines the charset your messages should be
exported to, if any.
</p>
<p>
Confused? Yeah, I know - this is a confusing subject, and my
implementation and documentation is not perfect. Normally you will not
have to worry about it. Turn it off completely if you don't understand
it.

Keyboard Command Reference
</head>
<p>
Most of the <name>GoldED+</name> keyboard commands can be reached with just one
keystroke. To ease operation for experienced users of other message
editors, <name>GoldED+</name> comes with several sets of keys for each of the
keyboard commands - direct non-shifted keys, Alt/Ctrl-keys and
function keys. Many of these key assignments will be familiar for
users of Msged, Msged/Q, ME2 and FM.
</p>
<p>
The following is a list of all keyboard commands, sorted by type and
alphabetically, using the format
</p>
<p>
&lt;command&gt; &lt;short description&gt;
</p>
<p>
This list is also available in the context-sensitive help system on
the &lt;F1&gt; key.
</p>
<p>
It is possible to almost completely redefine the keyboard - this in
done in the GOLDKEYS.CFG file, which also handles macro definition
(see later).

<div1 id=MACROSANDKEYSTACKING><head>Macros and Keystacking</head>
<p>
GoldED has a simple keyboard macro facility, which you can use to
automate certain common operations. In addition, a "keystacking"
facility allows you to create simple automatic macros on the fly.
</p>
<p>
The macro definition syntax is modelled after the syntax used in the
QEdit text editor:
</p>
<p>
&lt;assignment-key&gt; Macro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
&lt;assignment-key&gt; AreaMacro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
&lt;assignment-key&gt; EditMacro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
&lt;assignment-key&gt; FileMacro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
&lt;assignment-key&gt; ListMacro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
&lt;assignment-key&gt; NodeMacro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
&lt;assignment-key&gt; ReadMacro &lt;commands or keys&gt;
</p>
<p>
Macros are defined in the GOLDKEYS.CFG file, where you can also find
several examples.
</p>
<p>
By using the word "Auto" as &lt;assignment-key&gt;, you can even define a
special macro which will be automatically executed when you start
GoldED.
</p>
<p>
Keystacking is a special form of auto-macros. You simply specify a
bunch of keys to be "stacked" in the (special internal) keyboard
buffer for sequential execution.
</p>
<p>
You can either specify a default set of keystacking in the .CFG
configuration file, or override any default keystacking by typing the
keystack definitions at the <name>GoldED+</name> commandline or the GEDCMD
environment variable.
</p>
<p>
See the Key Reference chapter for a list of the key symbols you can
use in macros and keystacking.

Note that some of the Alt-keys, especially the cursor-related keys and
the F11/F12 keys, are "extended" keys normally only available on
systems with an extended keyboard bios. However, <name>GoldED+</name> uses a few
tricks to make some the extended keys available on non-extended
systems.

Language Definition
</head>
<p>
GoldED allows you to almost completely redefine the language dependent
text in the program.
</p>
<p>
The language dependent text in <name>GoldED+</name> is defined in the plain ASCII
text GOLDLANG.CFG file.
</p>
<p>
See the example language file for the actual method and format of
language redefinition.
</p>
<p>
If you are planning to translate the text in <name>GoldED+</name>, you should also
look into the definition of the help screens.
</p>
<p>
You do not need permission from the author before announcing or
distributing your own modified language files.
</p>
<div2>
<head>
Date/Time Substitution Codes
</head>
<p>
A few of the language texts can contain special date/time substitution
codes. The keywords for those are: MS_DateTimeFmt, MS_DateFmt,
MS_TimeFmt and ST_StatuslineTimeFmt.
</p>
<p>
Here are the valid substitution codes:
</p>
<p>
%a Abbreviated weekday name (Mon, Tue, Wed, ...).
%A Full weekday name (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, ...).
%b Abbreviated month name (Jan, Feb, Mar, ...).
%B Full month name (January, February, March, ...).
%d Day of month (01-31).
%e Day of month, with leading space for single digits (1-31).
%E Day of month (1-31).
%H Hour (00-23) (24-hour clock).
%I Hour (01-12) (12-hour clock).
%j Day of the year (001-366).
%m Month (01-12).
%M Minute (00-59).
%p AM or PM according to 12-hour clock.
%S Second (00-59).
%U Week number (00-52) where sunday is first day of the week.
%w Weekday (0-6) where 0 is sunday.
%W Week number (01-53) where monday is first day of the week.
%y Year without century (00-99).
%Y Year with century.
%% Character '%'.
</p>
<p>
The %a, %A, %b and %B codes substitute to the current language setup
loaded using the LOADLANGUAGE keyword.
</p>
<p>
*** NOTE ***
</p>
<p>
In the continuing development of <name>GoldED+</name>, it is impossible to
completely maintain backward compatibility of the language format or
the text defined there. New features may add and/or obsolete some
definitions, or may change the format of others.
</p>
<p>
The existing language file may contain definitions which are already
obsolete, but which I haven't had time to search for and remove, as
well as there may be some texts in <name>GoldED+</name> which are not yet definable.
All this will of course be corrected in future versions. If you find
inconsistencies, please report them, because I may have overlooked
them.

Message Kludge Lines
</head>
<p>
Kludge lines are special control lines, that begin with a ^a (ASCII 1)
as the first character of the line, followed by a unique identifying
name and the relevant control information.
</p>
<p>
GoldED is aware of a lot of these kludges, and supports a number of
them, if you want to have them inserted in your messages.
</p>
<p>
Some kludges are useless junk and more or less commercials for this
and that software, but a few are useful for miscellaneous purposes. In
the following, I will list (some of) the known and supported kludges,
and a short description of what they are used for.
</p>
<div2>
<head>
ACUPDATE:

<p>
This kludge is a feature of Squish 1.10: Message Broadcast
Modify/Delete. Read the docs for Squish 1.10 for details.

<p>
This is not really a kludge, and it doesn't begin with a ^a, but I
included it on the kludge list because it sometimes turned up in
echomail areas where it should have been stripped off by the mail
tosser.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
CC: &lt;name&gt; &lt;address&gt;
</head>
<p>
When <name>GoldED+</name> produces carbon copies, it adds to each message a full
list of the persons who get a copy. One version of this list is
hidden behind the CC: kludge.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
CHARSET:&lt;charset identifier&gt;
</head>
<p>
Proposed in FSC-0050 and FSC-0054, this kludge is an attempt to
find a solution to the problem of the high-bit characters (like
the IBM PC vs Amiga vs Mac etc. national chars) in messages.
<name>GoldED+</name> can recognize, use and generate this kludge.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
CHRC:&lt;font change id&gt;
</head>
<p>
Proposed in FSC-0054, this is a kludge for changing fonts,
underlining and other stuff.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
CHRS:&lt;charset identifier&gt;
</head>
<p>
Alternative FSC-0054 version of the CHARSET kludge.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
DESTADDR:&lt;destaddress&gt;
</head>
<p>
This one is not proposed anywhere, but it looks like it gives the
address of the intended recipient. <name>GoldED+</name> takes the address for
the dest field.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
DOMAIN &lt;destdomain&gt; &lt;destaddress&gt; &lt;origdomain&gt; &lt;origaddress&gt;
</head>
<p>
Proposed in FSC-0038, this tries to solve the problem of mail
crossing domain boundaries. <name>GoldED+</name> takes both addresses.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
EID:&lt;crc16&gt; &lt;stamp&gt; &lsqb;replycrc16&rsqb; &lt;replystamp&gt;
</head>
<p>
Proposed in FSC-0031, this is used for dupe checking and reply
linking. The EID is today generally considered as garbage, but a
lot of older mail processors such as QMail still generate it.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
ENC:
</head>
<p>
Signifies that the message contains encrypted data. <name>GoldED+</name> will
add this kludge if it detects that the message has been encrypted
with PGP.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>

</head>
<p>
End Of Text. See SOT.

<head>
FLAGS &lt;special attributes&gt;
</head>
<p>
Proposed in FSC-0053, this is a special netmail kludge used by the
FrontDoor and D'Bridge mailers and the IMail mail processor. It
provides extra attributes not found among the standard attributes
in the normal message/packet headers. <name>GoldED+</name> uses and generates
this kludge, if you set the attributes.
</p>
</div2>

<head>
FMPT &lt;from point&gt;

message.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
GROUP:&lt;echoname&gt;
</head>
<p>
I think this one comes from stray Groupmail messages. Similar to the
<gi>AREA</gi> kludge.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
I51 (no parameters)
</head>
<p>
Proposed in <name>FSC-0051</name>, this indicates that the message text
conforms to the <name>ISO-8859-1</name> (<name>LATIN-1</name>)
character set, and may contain certain escape codes. The
<name>ISO-8859-1</name> set is used in <name>Amiga</name> and
<name>Windows</name> 3.xx. <name>GoldED+</name> can recognize, use and
generate this kludge.

<div2>
<head>
PATH: &lt;list of nodes&gt;
</head>
<p>
Defined in <name>FTS-0004</name>, this is a valuable tool for finding
dupe links and other structural faults in the net structures.
Unfortunately the list of nodes is 2D (net/node), and this creates
problems when exporting echomail across zones.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PTH: &lt;list of nodes&gt;
</head>
<p>
Not yet a <name>FSC</name> (or is it?), this is a 5D-version of the
<gi>PATH</gi> kludge, which sticks to the top of the msg.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
PID: &lt;identifier&gt; &lt;version&gt; &lsqb;serialno&rsqb;
</head>
<p>
Proposed in <name>FSC-0046</name>, this takes a stab at the tearline
abuse, and puts <q>safe</q> information about the first mail processing
software in the line. This could be message editors, mail scanners and
other stuff.
</p>
</div2>
<div2>
<head>
Realname: &lt;Name&gt;
</head>
<p>
This kludge was probably born in Russia because of some software was
not able to properly handle non-<abbr>ASCII</abbr> characters in
the header lines. Name should be written in national codepage.
Otherwise I don't see any reason for this kludge. I don't know any
software that generate this kludge.
