Warner Losh) Newsgroups: comp.os.vms Subject: Oooops, a slight bug... Message-ID: <869@nmtsun.nmt.edu> Date: 3 Aug 88 01:15:41 GMT Sender: news@nmtsun.nmt.edu Organization: New Mexico Tech Hydrology Program Lines: 15 I just posted a .COM file so that you didn't have to wait through a SET COMMAND every time you logged in IF news wasn't in the DCLTABLES. Well, there is a small problem with it, news will cycle through all of your articles w/o giving you a chance to hit return. What I should have posted is: $ SET COMMAND MWL_EXE:NEWS $ DEFINE NEWSDIR USER:[WARNER.SRC.NNTP] $ NEWS :== NEWS/HEADER=(Subject,From,Date,Organization,lines) $ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT 'F$TRNLNM("SYS$OUTPUT") $ NEWS Note the DEFINE/USER line. That allows all things to be good.... Warner Losh What, me spell. You must be mad.
