b	L≈g⌐è∞#&A(π*┘,φ.┌/σ0┘1┬2¼4>6Notice's editor is similar to WordStar, or to the Borland
"Turbo" editors, but it has some differences, some omissions, and
some extra features. In particular, the block operations are a 
bit different: ^KV and ^KC move/copy the marked area to a scrap
buffer: you use ^KI to insert the scrap buffer at the cursor 
position.

<^K M>  Comment a block     <^K R>  Read a file           
<^K W>  Write to file
<^K H>  Unmark block

Other:
<^Q F>  Find text           <^Q A>  Find and replace         
<Tab>                       Next tab stop, or indent block      
<Esc>, <^K Q>               Abandon message                 
<^Enter>, <^K D>            Accept and send message           
<^P>                        Quote next character into document  
<^Q M>, <^Q T>              Set wordwrap margin/set tabs     

In commands consisting of two characters, the second character     
can also be its <Ctrl-Key> equivalent - so, typing ^K^B has the   
same effect as typing ^KB.
Blocks can start anywhere on a line, and may extend forwards or
backwards from the starting point. To mark a block, type ^KB,
then move the cursor to mark the area you want to affect. To
turn off block marking, type ^KH.

Most block commands will affect the whole buffer if no area is
currently marked - so, ^KW will write a block to a file if one
is marked, or the whole buffer if not.

The following block commands are supported in Notice:

^KB:    Start marking a block at the cursor position.       
^KH:    Finish block marking.                               
^KV:    Copy the marked block to the internal scrap buffer, 
        then delete the original block from the message.    
^KC:    Copy the marked block to the internal scrap buffer, 
        but do not delete the original block. Both of these 
        commands require a marked block - they will not work
        on the whole buffer if nothing is marked.            
^KI:    Insert the current contents of the internal scrap    
        buffer at the cursor position. The scrap is not      
        cleared, and the operation may be repeated.           
^KM:    Mark a block: Notice will prompt you for a marking     
        string, then will prepend that string to the start    
        of every line in the marked area, or in the whole      
        document if no block is marked.                    
^KW:    Write the marked area, or if none, the whole message   
        to a text file.                                       
^KR:    Read a text file into the current message at the       
        cursor position.                                     
^KO:    Centre the marked area or current line within the
        edge of the screen and the current right margin. If
        the line has leading spaces, these are stripped and
        the line(s) recentred.
Del:    Delete the current marked area (not to scrap).        
        ^KY will also delete the current marked area.       
Tab:    Indent the marked block to the next tab stop.         
Sh-Tab: "Outdent" the marked block one tab stop.              
Notice's editor supports the following commands for
moving around in a message while you edit:

<Arrows>:  Move one unit in the arrow direction.          
^S, ^D:    Left one char, right one char.                
^E, ^X:    Up one line, down one line.                 
^-Left:    One word to the left (^A does the same).   
^-Right:   One word to the right (^F does the same).  
PgUp:      Top of screen, or up one screen if at top.   
           (^R does the same).                         
PgDn:      End of screen, or down one screen if at end.    
           (^C does the same).                         
^PgUp:     Move to top of message (^QR does the same). 
^PgDn:     Move to end of message (^QC does the same). 
Home:      Move to start of line (^QS does the same). 
End:       Move to end of line (^QD does the same).    
^Z, ^W:    Scroll screen Up/Down one line.                
^QG:       Goto a particular line in the message.          

The editor provides facilities for finding and replacing
text using the following commands:

^QF:   Find text: you will be prompted to enter a       
       string, which Notice will attempt to find in     
       the message. You will also be prompted for      
       options (explained below).                      

^QA:   Find text, and replace it with a string: you     
       will be prompted for a string to find, just as   
       for a search, then the editor will prompt you   
       for a replacement, and options. Notice will find  
       the text, and replace it, possibly checking with 
       you before doing so (see options).               

^L:    Repeat the last searching operation: if the last 
       operation was a search, it will be repeated using
       the same string and options; if it was a replace,
       the editor will attempt to perform the same       
       replace operation again.                         

Options: When performing either a search or a replace, you
will be prompted for Options: these are characters you can
type to control the way the search or replace will be made.
Options are single characters, can be entered in any order,
and are not case-sensitive (ie, 'G' is the same as 'g').   
The following options are offered:                         

G:       Global: start from the top of the message. If     
         you do not specify G, the search or replace will  
         start at the cursor position.                     
U:       Uppercase: ignore case while searching: if you    
         specify this, then "hello" will match "Hello",    
         "HELLO", "heLLo" or any other such combination.   
N:       Do not confirm (only meaningful with Replace      
         operations). If you do not specify N, then the    
         editor will prompt you before each replace.      
R:       Regular expression search: if you specify R, then
         some characters in your search string are handled
         specially: '*' matches any number of characters,  
         '?' matches any single character, and '[' and ']' 
         are regarded as enclosing sets of characters which
         can match any one character. You may have as many 
         wildcards in a search string as you wish. Exercise
         caution using Regular expressions while replacing:
         the replacement string is always treated literally.

The editor makes the following commands available for
particular functions:

Deletion:
Del:     Delete character at the cursor position.    
Bks:     Delete the character left of the cursor.    
^T:      Delete the word to the right of the cursor. 
^End:    Delete to the end of the current line.      
^Y:      Delete the current line entirely.           

Others:
^N:      Insert line break without moving cursor.    
Ins:     Toggle insert mode: when in insert mode, the
         status line will show 'I', otherwise it will
         show 'O' (for overstrike).                  
^QM:     Set right margin for wordwrap. When the cursor 
         strikes the margin you've set, the current word
         will be move to the next line. To disable word-
         wrap, enter a right margin of 136. The editor   
         will not allow a right margin less than 20.     
^QT:     Set tabs: the value you enter here will become  
         the new distance between tab stops. Since the   
         editor converts <Tab> characters to spaces,     
         this command will not affect existing text.    
^P:      Quote: insert the next character typed into    
         the message, irrespective of what it is.       
^V:      Form digraph: this allows you to form a letter  
         from the IBM extended ASCII set by 'describing' 
         it. Enter two character, a base character and  
         a modifier, press ^V, and the editor will form
         the correct extended value. Example: to form the 
         'é' character, type "e'" (e-apostrophe) then type
         ^V, and pmail will form it.  Valid modifiers are:
         char + "  forms char-umlaut     (eg, a" -> ä)    
         char + '  forms char-acute      (eg, e' -> é)    
         char + `  forms char-grave      (eg, e` -> è)    
         char + ^  forms char-circonflex (eg, o^ -> ô)    
         char + ~  forms char-tilde      (eg, n~ -> ñ)    
         char + /  forms char-slash      (eg, o/ -> φ)    
         c    + ,  forms c-cedilla       (ie, c, -> ç)    
         a    + o  forms a-ring          (ie, ao -> å)    
         << or >>  forms « or »                            
         !! or ??  forms ¡ or ¿                            

         Alt-D and <F12> on AT keyboards also form       
         digraph characters.                               
You are currently using Notice's main message browser
list. Messages you have read are marked with a diamond
to the left in the list. Select a notice using the
arrow keys, or <PgUp> and <PgDn>.

From the main message browser, you can quit at any time
by pressing <Esc>.

You can read the message which is currently highlighted
by pressing <Enter>.

You cannot add or alter notices at the moment. If you
have rights in the notice directory, you can start
notice in Administrator mode by entering the command
notice /a from the DOS prompt.
You are currently in Notice's Administrator Mode: you
can maintain the list, by adding, deleting and editing
messages in the list. Messages marked '~' are yet to 
'come alive' while those marked 'E' are expired.

Add a message by pressing <Ins>. Delete a message by
highlighting it and pressing <Del>. If you are not
Supervisor-eqivalent, you can only delete or modify
messages you have posted.

You can remove all expired messages (messages which 
are older than the lifetime assigned to them when 
they were created) by pressing <F4>. Expired messages
appear with an E to their left in the list.

Only ONE user may be in administrator mode at any time
for any one list.
Pegasus Mail allows you to place print entries
into NetWare print queues even if you are not
currently capturing to them. Enter the name of
the queue you want to print to in this field.

If you have selected print to a file, enter
the name of the file in this field. The name
can be in either DOS or NetWare format, and
can have a path attached.

You can list the available queues by pressing
<F2> while in this field. An error will occur
if you try to print to a queue to which you
have no rights.

If you are printing to a printer which uses the
PostScript typesetting language (for instance, an
Apple LaserWriter), set this field to 'Y'.

If you set this field to 'Y', you will be able to
choose from a list of fonts in the next field.
Some printers may not support all the fonts in the
list - if you choose one which your printer does
not have, the document will either not print, or
will print in Courier.

Remember that selecting Proportionally-spaced fonts
such as Times-Roman will throw tables and columns
out of alignment.
Enter in this field the length of the paper you will
be printing on, expressed in lines, at 6 lines per
inch. So, if you are using standard US Letter paper,
enter 66 (6 x 11"). Or, if you are using A4 paper, 
enter 70 here (6 x 11.69").
If you set this field to 'Y', Notice will make
a banner page when printing, which may make it
easier for you to find your message in the pile
of printouts sitting around the printer.

Notice can generate banner pages on PostScript
printers as well as on other types.
Enter in this field the heading which should
appear in the browse list, and in the top
line of the reader window. You may enter anything
in this field (no characters restrictions apply),
but you should probably provide a précis of the
message.
In this field, you can enter the name of NetWare
groups, or usercodes. If you enter anything, only
the users, or members of the groups you specify
will see the message.

If you leave this field blank, all users will see
the message.
You can give notices a "lifetime". If you enter a
date in this field, then the message will not be
shown to users until that date. You can specify
how long a message should display from that date
by placing a value in the next field, "lifetime".

Notice adjusts its date format to the value you
set in the "Country" statement of your config.sys
file. Note that internally the date is stored in
an absolute format, so it doesn't matter if
machines on the LAN use different country settings.
The "lifetime" is the number of days a message should
display from the start date. Entering 1 will allow
the message only to show for today.

Entering a value of 0 in this field (the default)
means that the message has no lifetime and will
last forever (or until deleted, or until the last
trump, or until the gremlin kicks the power cord
out of the server and wrecks the disk, whichever
comes first).
