Does anyone know where I can find copies of menus.hex and assist.hex mentioned in this group a few weeks ago. I tried fetching them from sumex-aim but all I got was garbage. The two files are binhex version of forth screens that emulate a vt52 under CSI forth. Or better yet... could someone post these to the net. Thanks in advance. Sean Casey ...ihnp4!oddjob!sean p.s. Here's a description of the goods. ----------------------------------------------------------------- There are two "HEX"ified files (via BINHEX) at USC-ECLB in PS:<SFRENCH>MENUS.HEX and PS:<SFRENCH>ASSIST.HEX These are MacForth blocks files. They contain a VT52 emulator and helper menus for a variety of VMS commands. The helper menus allow you to pull-down to selected commands and the correct sequences will be sent over the serial line. It could save a lot of keystrokes. The menus include 1. a helper for a Novation SmartCat, 2. a helper for Unipress VMS Emacs, 3. a helper for VMS mail, 4. a helper for general VMS commands (my own synonyms, you will need to change them to support your own). These menus are unbelievable easy to modify. You should be able to tailor this thing for ANY computer system. This version does not support insert and delete line and character yet. I may some day get around to adding it. I have become disheartened with MacForth. It just takes to long to load a program and/or debug one.
