History and changes:

6-12-96
-------

** Fixed a problem in the "retry connection" code, now it closes the socket
every time out, previously the code DOESN'T work if the server sent an
error 22 to the program. The time out is now much shorter so you may need
to use "max_retries" in your config file...

** Now the complete statements will be saved in the "save config" option.

** Some improvements in the play speedwalk routine.

5-12-96
-------

** Completed the speedwalk recording/playing support

** New command #record <file>

The first time you call it (to start the speedwalk recording) you have not to 
specify the <file> statement. The second time if you specify file the
speedwalk will be saved in the file <file> otherwise it will be opened a
file requester asking you the name of the  file you want to save the
speedwalk in.

** New command #play <file>

This command will play the speedwalk file <file>.

Speedwalk files may also be created manually they have to begin with the
"speed_char" (default is %) and nothing more. They have to contain only the
letters u,n,w,e,s,d.

** New menu options to play/record speedwalks. The movement recognised by
the speedwalk recording are manual speedwalks (es: %sssun), numeric
keyboard movements and normal movements on the edit line.

3-12-96
-------

** Speedwalk recording/playing! Beginning of the coding....

27-12-96
--------

** Some improvements to TAB completion. The word to complete has to be the last in
the edit line otherwise the words after the cursor position where you press tab
will be deleted.

** New command #complete (works as the config keyword...) but it let you
add words to the complete list while online.

22-12-96
--------

** Added TAB completion (like tt++)

** New config keyword complete for the new feature:

example:

complete=exodus
complete=exterminator
complete=beholder
complete=mistress

If you press tab when you are typing one of these words that will be
completed automatically. The first word is the one with more priority.

For instance:

cast 'heal' e<TAB> 

will become:

cast 'heal' exodus
