[comp.sys.apple] APE: Cancelling messages

mdavis@pro-sol.cts.com (Morgan Davis) (10/30/88)

Someone was lamenting the fact that after reading two or three lines of
incoming text on AppleLink that you cannot go onto the next message until the
entire contents of the current one have been downloaded.  Not true.  You need
only press Open-Apple-Period (OA-.) to cancel any function on AppleLink, and
the host machine will stop sending data immediately.

I know AppleLink PE has some problems, but I wish some of you people would get
your facts straight before bitching about things you know nothing about.  I've
seen a lot of incorrect, and possibly harmful statements being made on this
newsfeed as of recent; statements not only about AppleLink but of other topics
as well.
