A couple of comments and questions about Gulam. 1) There is a command called 'sx' that is documented by referring you to a command called 'rx', but rx doesn't exist. Can someone tell me what these commands do? 2) From ue (emacs) when you type a ^K is 'temporarily' pops you into Gulam and your editing buffers are not FREED. The manual says to try this but doesn't say how to return to emacs. So far I only tried running emacs then ^x^b to the buffer i was editing. Is there a more direct way to return to your editing after doing a ^z (oops that was supposed to be a ^z not a ^k up there, sorry). 3) Finally, in ue, if you do several delete-backward-words (M-BS) then do a yank (^Y) your deletes will be restored in reverse order. SO the line, Delete this line backwards. becomes backwards. line this Delete when you restore. *^*^*^*^*^* How does one get to atari-sources to find out what is there and to ultimately upload or download (correct terminology?) something to/from them or is it only a part of netnews. thanks, -chip ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chip Roberson ARPANET: csrobe@icase.arpa 1105 London Company Way BITNET: $csrobe@wmmvs.bitnet Williamsburg, VA 23185 UUCP: ...!uunet!pyrdc!gmu90x!wmcs!csrobe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *(*please note change in UUCP address ^^^^^^^^^^^ seismo is gone*)*

Can someone tell me what these >commands do? The command 'rx' is to receive, using xmodem protocol, and 'sx' is to send. In the beta version that I have, I have used these commands to move files back and forth between the remote 4.3 system at the office. I put these lines in my GULAM.G file. set rx_remote_cmd 'public xmodem st' set sx_remote_cmd 'public xmodem rt' I used the Gulam command % sx file.ext to move a text file from the ST to the remote system and the command % rx file.ext to receive a file. >2) From ue (emacs) when you type a ^Z is 'temporarily' pops you into Gulam >and your editing buffers are not FREED.

Hi all, a few weeks ago I posted that I had my ST system for sale. The reason for selling is to move up to a Mega 2. I have sold my SF314, and the Magic Sac, I still have the 1040 ST and SM125 for sale. Included with this machine is a new Parr. printer cable, anti static dust cover, and Sub Battle from Epyx. The monitor belongs to the local Atari dealer, but he will let me sell it with the system to help me sell it, so the monitor is brand new, with full warr. If interested in this system reply here on the net or call me at 1-(902)-542-2312. I want $1100.00 Can. for the system. I will most likly through in any other little things I find kicking around my desk. later Barry

The 'rx_remote_cmd' and 'sz_remote_cmd' options can be set; the GULAM.G file as distributed sets these parameters to work with Chuck Forsberg's rz/sz package. >2) From ue (emacs) when you type a ^K is 'temporarily' pops you into Gulam >and your editing buffers are not FREED.

It's a part of netnews, although certain people (like myself) keep archives. Mine are available via anonymous UUCP; there MIGHT be one that's ftp'able out there. -- Bill Wisner, HASA "A" Division ..{codas,ihnp4}!killer!billw "I don't mind at all.." -- Bourgeois Tagg
