-
Have the scripts handle errors, e.g. when a sysop breaks into chat?
probably ancient ∞
-
while downloading, it causes errors when I go into
options > general > r
to turn on the scroll bars.. odd!! In fact, it ends the download sometimes. - Be able to chat while downloading (in any protocal?)
- Be able to type
EDIT <filename>
inalt-r
(dos) and have it load it in the editor automatically. - If I load in a file, then load in another, then load in that first file by using the up arrow to choose it. I should have that first filename as the first selection the first time I go to load another file and use the up arrow. I shouldn't have to put, say, a space after the filename to make sure that I can pick that name first the next time I load a file.
- Have edit/view be able to wrap text which they load.
- Put a backscroll in the dos mode (
alt-r
) ? - In
alt-r
(dos), cannot use something like "type com1
" - In
alt-r
(dos), "dir com1
", and their ilk actually work! alt-r
,dir/p
(don't press a key to continue),alt-t
,alt-r
,(press a key)
, notice how the prompt does not return.- Be able to look at the backscroll while downloading.
alt-r
(dos mode) ignores the hidden file attribute- In the fake dos mode (
alt-r
), be able to look inside.rar
archives - The editor should be able to use TABs!!
- Should have
MD
andRD
in the fake dos mode. - Colour backscroll.
- Hangup command should be
+++ (wait) ath\m
-
Take up less memory?!
- It has difficult requirements for base memory.
- Start dialing dial list on entry (use a command-line switch)
-
Maximum dos shell kills all the
SET
s- This could be 4DOS.
-
Don't display username/password in dial list.
- Password protect them.
- Encrypt phone book(s)/log file (use an external program if needed?)
- Make it an option to be able to edit which columns appear in the dial (
alt-d
) dialogue, be able to re-order them. - In the dial list (
alt-d
), prompt before adding new numbers (F10
) - Spellcheck and grammercheck the text files!
-
Be able to do phonebook editing while in the dial list (
alt-d
)- (get rid of tmphone?)
- Be able to edit phone entries while dialing?
- Have
ENTER
on a phone entry just start dialing it ONCE.. force users to usespace
or+
to mark it, then pressenter
in order to have it autodial - Have the ability to have longer phone numbers!
- Have more dial prefixes.
- Have custom init strings for each entry?
- The dial mode should have space as the 'add new entry', since space was what originally tagged the number to dial!
- Should be able to alter the dial list while connected
- Should be able to cut/paste to/from the terminal command stack (
alt-y
) - When in edit, for example.. loading a file. if I press
C:
, it should wipe the entire line and haveC:
at the beginning. control-home
andcontrol-end
should go to the very top/end of backscroll,control-pageup
andcontrol-pagedown
should both go to the top/bottom of a page!- When at the bottom of a file, at its start (in edit)
control-pagedown
doesn't bring be to the end of the file/end of the line like it does elsewhere! -
In a file pick thing (like open file in edit), should have the last used thing come up.. not the last typed.
- Also, it should have full up/down searching back and forth..
down
shouldn't go to the filelist,tab
should.
- Also, it should have full up/down searching back and forth..
- While downloading.. it should have commas in the bytes downloaded.. maybe it should list them in KBs?
- Should have the option to not keep track of the number of connects.
- Auto-save the options when I exit the
alt-o
menu. - +/- the dial time should be something like +/- 5 secs, not 1
- Be able to clear the backscroll buffer from a script!
-
"relocate entry" in tmphone should just 'pick it up', and shouldn't move to the top of the screen.
- Rename 'relocate' to 'move'
- Random password generator.
- There should be a key to stick the password of the currently connected entry into the terminal mode.
- Multiple numbers for each dial entry.
- Have a note FILE for each dial entry, which can be brought up into the file editor by a new hotkey.
- Display suffixes and prefixes in phone entry edit with
F6
. - Insert mode should be the default when, say, in virtual dos.
- I can't have a window sit at the very TOP of the screen!!
