5 February 1990 ************************************************************************ *** New Or Wrong Or Just Left Out Of The NagPlus Manual & Supplement *** ************************************************************************ 1> HOTKEY: The default HotKey is CONTROL-SHIFT-A. Currently there is no entry in the config file for the HotKey. If you want something other than the default, you must manually set it (press CONTROL-SHIFT-A while the main Nag window is open) each time you re-boot. 2> !ACTION! events act in a very special way. If Nag finds an !ACTION! event which is on a day PREVIOUS to today, that event is moved to the top of todays list. This allows you to use !ACTION! events as a sort of "To Do" list which always appears at the top of todays events. When you have finished with that !ACTION! event, click the LMB on the word !ACTION! to time-stamp it, which also changes it from an !ACTION! event to a normal event, thus 'sticking' it to that day and giving you a permenant record in Nag Plus of when each event was actually completed. NOTE: !ACTION! events are NOT allowed in the Nag.YEAR file! 3> QUICK-EDIT: Double-Clicking (LMB) on a day-number (in the calendar) or on the dateline (above each day's events in the main window) sets the editor to that date and takes you directly to the edit screen without the need to select the 'Edit' button. Thanks to long time Nag user John Vig for the suggestion that led to this valuable enhancement. BEWARE!!! Incorrectly double-clicking the LMB on the EVENT TEXT itself will have unpredictable results! (First it will turn off the event, and then, depending on the setting of the 'show-checked' flag, will either turn that event back on again or will try to turn another event off). Make sure that you only 'double-click-to-edit' on datelines, not eventtext. 4> Nag Plus will use as much vertical space as is available on your Amiga display (up to 520 scan lines). This means window size will auto-adjust to PAL (European) and/or overscan preferences settings. In support of this enhancement, SetNag will now allow setting of an INTERLACE flag if WORKBENCH is in Interlace mode or Nag is using a custom screen. For more about this Amiga display mode please see your Amiga manuals or other Amiga graphic discussion. 5> When nag.rexx is activated (RMB over word in event text), it is now sent additional information. The format Nag sends to the REXX host is as if you typed the following at a CLI or Shell prompt: rx nag.rexx editor notedir selected_word portname config_filename This allows muliple running nags to use differing editors and/or directories and/or config files without conflict. 6> Two more commands have been added to the list of NagPlus commands that are accessable through ARexx. 'SET 1' - RESULT=0 if Nag is in Tiny window mode, 1 if expanded. 'HELP' - RESULT=List of allowable NagPlus ARexx commands. 7> The printed appointment list now starts with the date and time this particular list was printed so you can quickly determine which hardcopy is the most up-to-date. 8> The 'every' yearfile, (named Nag.YEAR), is somewhat restricted. You may NOT have identical events, on the same day, regardless of time. (This is to allow timestamping without duplication). If you need to run identical rexx programs (for instance) during the day, make the 5th character unique for each instance. (ie, rexx:prg.rexx, rexx!prg.rexx, rexx+prg.rexx, rexxRprg.rexx, etc.). ************************************************************************
