No, but I started with TB back in the summer when I hadn't much time, and it was a long while before I joined the list. The new version must have come out in the interim. I intend to install it soon. I see that many messages have a note appended to say what the latest version is. I've also set up the RITLabs home page in WebSite-Watcher, which I run fairly often for other reasons, so should get warning of changes that way as well. Do the "home" and "pro" versions always come out together? -- Thanks, Robert Bullmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.71.03 on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Robert! On Wednesday, December 06, 2006, 5:12 PM, you wrote: > ... I dislike Windows-style editors. ... You might like to have a look at TB!'s made-for-The Bat! MicroEd editor. It has a lot of the features which you said you like in your customiazed external editor, and once you had the MicroEd configured, it might be less trouble than using an external editor. I love the MicroEd editor myself, and I don't like the Windows editor provided with The Bat! Have a look at Options/Preferences from the main TB! window. Scroll down the Preferences choices to Viewer/Editor and see MicroEd under that. Combined with Address Book templates, and TB!'s Quick Template function, it takes much of the work out of composing e-mail messages. On another note: Welcome to TBUDL. I've been subscribed here since October, 2002, and it is a very helpful and friendly group. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.86.02 on Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

When I want to view a long email or program snippet from my editor, I use a Hot Key to Run External Program. I have it run my editor on the file "%1" and call a macro to strip the headers and everything at or below the "cut mark." (If I need any of that, I can get it back with an undo.) I use PowerPro to copy the text of a reply to the clipboard and start my edit with a command to paste the clipboard. I also have a simple macro in the editor to finish up by copying the contents of its buffer to the clipboard and close down discarding the file being edited. All I have to do is bring focus back to the TB! replay (which is still highlighted) and press Ctrl-v and sent it. -- Best regards, Bill TB!

Hello, All; This is my first post here using TB itself, so please bear with me. I was a "point" on Fidonet for over ten years, using the mighty GoldED message editor (I'm one of the few - the proud - the REGISTERED). GoldED has a basic text editor built-in, rather like TB's. But it also allowed you to define your own text editor, run as a child process, feeding the editor with the properly-quoted and reflowed message. I dislike Windows-style editors. Having "grown up" with DOS, I prefer WordStar-style. Does TB have any way of defining an external text editor, so I can continue using my favourite one? I have on occasion copied a message via the clipboard and edited it outside TB, before returning the modified text the same way. I tended to get "shark's teeth" formatting, whether I used straight paste or paste formatted. What should I look out for here, please? -- TIA, Robert Bullmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.71.03 on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
