That would be extremely helpful, Scott, but I'm afraid my next two weekends
are absolutely jammed with theater work. (This one included, that is)

Re resp:44: The # turned the line into a comment. I imagine that
removing the "set ignore" line altogether would also have worked.

According to Valerie's comments on set ignore, this was supposed to make the
system ignore line noise. Before the changeover, Ctl-C was not interpreted
as line noise, now it seems to be. Why?

"mail" on the old & new systems is identical. Both would treat "set
ignore" as meaning the same thing - to ignore the "interrupt" character.

Valerie, if you still remember the commands that tell "mail" *not* to
display those huge mail-routing headers, could you post them in this
item? Thanx!!

Valerie gave me instructions how to copy her .mailrc file, where they are all
listed with comments as to what they do. (Be sure if you simply use her file
to get rid of set ignore).

(You want the lines that say "discard XXX". You don't want the line at
the end that says "alternates valerie@cyberspace.org", and you may or
may not have a preference about the other things Valerie does, such as
"set ignore".)

Just now is the second time today that I typed Pine Return, got the
Pine screen, and was immediately disconnected before doing anything else.
(Last time I might have hit i first.)

And when I exited Pine this time, the top 2/3 of the screen continued to show
the pine menu, and the bbs scrolled by underneath it. (Cured this by giving
the clearing command in my commun. program (Ctl-C) followed by Ctl-L). I
don't recall this happening before.

I still can't read the top two thirds of the bbs response, above 'Item 3
System problems. Previous commands and Browse (item list), Read (new items)
and on there. SOmething is wrong. This is new. But it could have something
to do with my having switched from Procomm to Procomm Plus today. (This did
not happen the last few times i logged on today, thought).
Will try existing bbs and then grex to fix the problem. Odd.

Hanging up and redialing fixed the problem. (I meant 'exiting' grex. and 'are
on there'. Hard to type with stuff scrolling away like that).

It very much sounds to me like you've had some terminal problems,
such that addressing the cursor around the screen didn't work right.
Now, which end that was (yours or grex's) I'm not sure.
Have you changed anything on your side of things? Is this happening
often? How long? What kind of system and what terminal software are
you using?

Problem with BackTalk: From the list of conferences if "Do It Yourself"
is selected, BackTalk reports that there is no such conference.

Do-it-Yourself or DIY, must be a single word without spaces. Or Fixit.
Now that your 'backtalk problem' is fixed, please join us at DIY.
My scrolling problem occurred after changing fromProcomm to Procomm Plus.
COuld it be related to the setting term dialup? Happened only yesterday, and
only once.

No, that seems to be a backtalk bug. It doesn't seem to like dashes in
conference names. Need to investigate that.

re 56 or so, I had a similair problem when exiting lynx and trying
to use the rest of GREX on some occassions in the past. I would get
a short screen effectivly.

Minor problem or major for the ladies..but a user not on my .yeswrite
file was able to send me a tel...twice...and I hadn't sent her one
prior to it. I DID send the userid then she was on before a tel though..
so..my question is..when you exit Grex and get to the login screen again
does grex then remember that the prior user was ok to get past the
.yeswrite file? Am I making sense?

did you have mesg ne set?

response 64 of 306:

The answer is yes. Grex doesn't know or care who is on the other end of a
tel you send, it just marks that tty as being able to send to you for x amount
of time. If you tel someone on ttyh4, for example, and then they log off and
someone else logs on to ttyh4, they can tel you until the timeout runs out.

Yes mesg -ne is set and always has been. Dang do you know what you
are talking about?
Thought not.

Backtalk looks kind of scary this morning, since hvcn.org seems either
down or exceedingly slow. The icons are (mostly) not showing up.

Re 65: olddraco, can *you* read? scg, not dang, asked about mesg -ne. But
before you ask, *he* knows what he's talking about, and that is *definitely*
the first question to ask if someone has a problem with this.

Steve's question is sensible, Dan's explanation is correct. Fixing this in
write would add a lot more complexity to an already amazingly complex
algorithm to decide if user A can write user B. It's pretty rare for it to
be a problem, and it can be a problem for at most four minutes.
Steve Weiss had rebooted HVCN, so Backtalk images should be zipping again.
I'm wondering if we should relax Grex's ban on images enough to put Backtalk
button images on Grex itself.
