I just found a bug somewhere. C-style character literals, such as
\ 0 0 7 or \ a don't get interpreted correctly; they're cut off. See
item 9 in this conference for an example.
Note: this is entered from fronttalk and I get the same error.

At the moment, Picospan and Fronttalk/Backtalk have radically different
ideas of how many newresponse items I have in Agora. Pico says 151,
FT and BT both say 21. I've been reading the conferences mostly with
Backtalk recently.

On Fronttalk ,when you come to the "Respond, pass, forget, quit, or ? for more
options?" prompt andyou type 'forget' , the prompt comes back again and you
have to 'pass' that one. ideally I would like to say forget once and be done
with it.

I think if you do, `set nomodestay' in your .cfonce file, it will
have the behavior you desire. That's what I did when I wanted to
do the same thing.

I've modified the bbspost.pl command to do error checking, and put it
into grexsoft.

Another fronttalk bug (or unimplemented feature). In picospan, if I join a
conference I haven't previously joined, I am asked:
> You are not a member of /bbs/someconferenceorother
> Do you wish to:
>
> Join, quit or help?
Entering "join" (or "j") creates my participation file (& maybe some other
stuff), setting me up as a participant in the conference.
Entering "quit" gives me an "Ok:" prompt but (I think) back in whatever
conference I was in before. There's a "registration aborted" message.
Entering "help" gives the following:
> You have three main options at this point:
> join -- become a new member of this conference
> observe -- look in at this conference (you will no
> be able to enter anything new)
> quit -- quit out of this menu and select another conference
> There are also some other things you can do, try "help misc"
> for notes on those.
>
I frequently use the "observe" option. I do this when there's an item
I want to look at in a conference I normally don't want to read. I can
read, but no participation file is created & I can't post.
fronttalk appears to lack all this. I think the "resign" command is
broken as well.

Hmm... "help resign" sounds reasonable, but as you note, "resign" doesn't
work.

I can't see the response that i've "hidden" using fronttalk. "hide' seems
to be interpreted as "scribble"

In Fronttalk, when using semicolons,
---
n;r
---
runs through the list of conferences, and if I don't have any with any new
items, it says "No items found in range." Picospan doesn't execute the "read"
command when the "next" command doesn't actually change conferences.

My pager works for reading items, but for "disp conf" it just pours
everything on the screen, and if I try "disp conf | less" it does
the same thing and then says (after the output) "Bad parameter near
|" and "Bad parameter near less". I don't know if "b" uses the pager
automatically, but I tried "b | less", and it said (before the
output) "Don't understand |" and "Don't understand less".

Just noticed this: "help read" includes the following:
" The using pager is "more" which will pause the display after
each full screen."
That seems rather awkwardly worded.

Ignore the word "using", kingjon. That should sort you out.

In reading some *really* old items I came across to a reference to a help
section in picospan that I think would be helpful in ft but should be trivial
to add: the "help etiquette" section.
