KMSAM 1.24 -*- KMS Area Manager ©1994 Thomas Schwarz ======================================================== Documentation ============= Introduction: ------------- KMSAM is a GUI for editing the area data of KMS, my famous "Karfunkel Mailbox System" and is based on MUI, the even more famous "Magic User Interface" by Stefan Stuntz which has to be installed on your system in order to be able to use KMSAM. KMSAM makes you able to change every data item of a KMS message area which may be edited by the KMS internal command #11 "BRETTED", but on a much more comfortable graphically nice-looking astonishingly pretty way. KMSAM is designed especially for use with KMS and is not intended to be used by anything or anybody for anything else. (But surely I'm not able to stop you from abusing it anyway. If you abuse it, please tell me which way you do it. I can't imagine one :-) Call-Syntax: ------------ KMSAM [Areaname/-path] Parameters: ----------- Areaname/-path Optional: If you supply the name or complete path of a KMS area as argument, KMSUM directly presents the editing window for this area, if it already exists, or lets you create a new one with the given name. Description: ------------ Main Window: ++++++++++++ If KMSAM is called without parameters, you will see the main window with a listview on the left side and several buttons on the left and bottom of the window. In the list there always are shown all the KMS areas of the current level. You change to the next deeper tree-level by double clicking on a name in the list or selecting the "Children"-button. You climb one level up by selecting "Parent". In the top-level there always is just one area, the one for private mail. With a single click on an area name you select this for further editing by using all the buttons on the right side of the KMSAM window. Available buttons/actions in the main KMSAM window: [ Up ] Move area one position up in the list. [ Down ] Move area one position down in the list. [ Cut ] Remove an area from the list and save it for later reincarnation (->Paste). [ Copy ] Save the data of current area for later cloning (->Paste). [ Paste ] If you did a "Cut" or "Copy" before, create an area with the saved data at the current position in the list. [ Sort ] Sort areas alphabetically. [ Add ] Add new area to the list at the current position. [ Remove ] Say Good Bye to the current area. [ Edit ] Change data of currently selected area. You leave the program by clicking the window close gadget or selecting "Quit" from the pull down menu. Editing Window: +++++++++++++++ If you choose "Add" or "Edit" in the main window, the KMSAM Area Editor window is opened. Here you get the possibility to change the characteristics of the selected area. I think the meaning of all the available string, slider, cycle and checkmark gadgets are quite self explanatory, if you are familiar to editing userdata with the KMS internal command #11 "BRETTED". So I will make my life easy here by just saying: "Read the documentation of BRETTED" :-) The two available buttons do the following: [ Use ] Accept changes and return to the main window. [ Cancel ] Leave editor window without changing anything. Distribution: ------------- The "Karfunkel Mailbox System (KMS)" and "KMS Area Mananger (KMSAM)" are Copyright ©1994 by Thomas Schwarz.

Every time you do that, humans rush into the streets and we get lots of shouting on the radio." "That's right." said the Thing. "People are bound to get excited when they see a ten-million-ton starship trying to fly down the street." -- (Terry Pratchett, Wings) Last words: ----------- Perhaps you wonder why this documentation is written in English while KMS in general is a German system? Well, I'm practising my English :-)
