We need a better editor like grex on here. Badkckpace doesn't work in this editor and it's line by line with no w line wrap.

Hope that you get an editor that you can use effectively. I would be pretty helpless without a backspace key.

Can you explain how you summon another editor when you're in the middle of making a response in grex. Is it :e or something like that? Is it possible in yapp to go back and edit a previous response? Or title of an item?

I'm not sure what "grex" is for an editor, but in both gate and the builtin editor, :e and :v both go to your visual editor. No, you currently cannot go back and edit either titles or text of responses. The best you can do right now is to censor or scribble the previous response and enter it again.

That's a major difference between this system and caucus. I wish at least administrators had that capability.

I agree it would be nice. It's not a difference between Yapp and PicoSpan, though. I'll add it to the todo list.

Check in to the other items in www.spring.com/yapp.html when you get a chance, we're starting to mess with topic headers and need to know some variables. Is there a list of variables anywhere in your documentation? Some of these types of questions are detailed in one of the other conferences, yapp or test, I forget which one.

Welcome, glad you checked us out. As you can tell, we're doing a lot of building.

Not sure where I should be submitting this but this is my wish list for the telnet version of www.spring.com: wraparound text ability to use the backspace key That's all, I am easily pleased!
~thalerd@eecs.umich.edu Tue, Aug 6, 1996 (08:23) #12
Both of those are already available. wraparound text of course depends on what editor you are using. Editors such as pico, gate, etc. should do this for you. The system administrator sets the default editor, but you can set your own with "define editor pico" for instance. You can make your choice of editor permanent if you wish, by putting that line in a file called .cfonce in your home directory. The backspace key is not a function of Yapp, it's a result of your terminal settings. Do "!stty erase (hit backspace)"

Today, we seem to have lost our response headers and there's an abbreviated version of what we had. I wonder what caused this? Any ideas Dave?

Intro. I am Amy, keeper of the P&P2 BB: A discussino & support group for hopeless addicts to the 1995 A&E/BBC adamptatino of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Terry has kindly offered to take us on in exile as my Matt's Script keeps becoming corrupted. From heavy use? From a slow server at my very sweet but troubled local ISP? From deleting posts while folks are posting? A combination? We don't know yet. But our little community is here now. Thanks for a place to hang.

Hopefully, you grow to know and love yapp, and will suit your purposes.
