]Thanks for the program. I am using it right now except that I customized
|
|
it a bit. I added a cursor and a printing option. I made a cursor by
|
|
making line 50 read :
|
|
50 PRINT #1,X$;"_";CHR$(29);
|
|
I made it print by using a flag to send it to a seperate subroutine
|
|
that used an LPRINT to print the info when I press ctrl-P and stops
|
|
when I press ctrl-O. I am working on a capture option. I prefer it
|
|
to the comm. program that was supplied in Deskmate for my computer.
|
|
I can load it up in 3 seconds and Deskmate takes at least a minute.
|
|
The only problem is though is that it makes an annoying buzz whenever
|
|
I press return. Why is that?

to GERRY SWANSON re: COMMO.BAS
|
|
|
|
I didn't put a cursor in, because I wanted a very short simple program
|
|
to use for a few seconds to confirm if a phone line & modem worked,
|
|
I would never dream of using it for anything serious.
|
|
The "noise" you hear when you press enter is the prompting "bell" from
|
|
CBBS. I'd nearly forgotten about it. Probably silly that it is turned
|
|
on by default.
|
|
The P command in CBBS turns it off, and if you then use the U command,
|
|
it updates your (U)ser record, so it remembers you don't want a prompting
|
|
bell from then on - once you log on and your name is entered, it will
|
|
restore the state of about 5 flags, including the prompt bell, from your
|
|
profile (not bad for software that hasn't been updated in 10 years, eh? ;-)
|
|
My communications program has a "nobell" option, so it doesn't even beep
|
|
the first time - but I DO leave the beep off when in auto-dial mode, so
|
|
that the beep will call me to the system when it gets thru to CBBS.
|
|
P.S. thanks for the tip on the cursor. I'd done it before (I think I
|
|
used a block char like chr(177) or something, but I think at the time I
|
|
was as yet unaware of the "cursor addressing" of BASIC. Then one day
|
|
a few years ago, I decided to try ALL the control chars and see what
|
|
they do ^ goes up, _ goes down, ] left (as you used), \ right, L clears,
|
|
K homes, B goes back a word, F goes forward a word, etc. I found 'em
|
|
by experimentation. How'd you find that chr$(29) goes back?

to ROY LIPSCOMB re: R/HIGH-CAPCTY DJ INK CARTRIDGE
|
|
|
|
Why use foam in the first place for a cartridge? Well, probably more
|
|
spill-proof, more even pressure (gravity)...I've been not totally thrilled
|
|
with the bladder-type cartridges in the DeskJet. It seems hard to maintain
|
|
proper pressure when a bladder might tend to suck the ink back, etc.
|
|
Dunno if it is re-inkable - depends upon how the ink is inserted. Foam
|
|
is inherently re-inkable because it can have ink shot into it - with a
|
|
bladder - well, what the Think Jet did was have a place on the nose of the
|
|
cartridge that was a hole - smaller than a BB - that they put the ink into,
|
|
then stuck a plastic BB into the hole to seal it. Dunno how the DJ does it.
|
|
YOU TELL ME - take one apart after it empties (grin).
|
|
As to the labels, they came from the - as I'm sure you know - Seiko.
|
|
I hear that now or in the near future, the post office will be able to
|
|
scann off a postalnet bar code even if it sin't on the bottom 1/4" of the
|
|
envelope, so an envelope with postalnet on the label should go faster than
|
|
one without.
|
|
No dup. chars.
