[net.micro.att] unix pc telephone manager

5112djh@houxf.UUCP (D.HOUCK) (09/04/86)

I would like to have my phone directory pop up instead of my
call directory when I enter the Telephone Manager. (The delay of going
through two windows is sufficiently annoying for numbers that I know.)
Does anyone know how this can be arranged?  The Office calls a program
named something /usr/bin/phstub.  I would like to substitute here if
possible.

You may alaready know this, but it took me a long time to discover that
you don't have to go through two windows to dial a number in your
directory.  After you hit shift F2 (call), just start typing enough
characters of a name to make in unambiguous and hit return.  If the
name is in your directory, it will be dialed, even if it does not appear
in the call screen.
