I looked back about 1000 articles and didn't find this info anywhere.
I just installed BlackBox and enjoyed having all of its functionality.
The problems I found stemmed from having quickkeys installed.
The screen saver and (I think) the window flipping didn't work (while
quickkeys was at its normal location.
I renamed quickkeys to load before black box and the screen saver and
flipper now work. Also, I just learned (while typing this letter)
that the smart quotes don't work. Here is an example of what happens:
RThis isnUt quoted.R
which is supposed to be:
"This isn't quoted."
So far, it has been working great, although I haven't put it through
its paces yet. I would like to see compatibility with quick keys. I
guess I can throw away dialogkeys now. Also a "smarter" screen saver
and moveable dock would be great.
Incidently, someone was asking about where to get it. It is on
sumex-aim.stanford.edu in /info-mac/init/black-box12.hqx

This problem, occurs only in Telnet 2.3, regardless of quickkeys being on or off. It must have something to do with standard ascii on a unix machine.

This >problem, occurs only in Telnet 2.3, regardless of quickkeys being on >or off. that's what smart quotes will look like if they're turned on in a program that only uses standard ascii. What's happening is that you're sending out a typeset quote and it's getting the funny bits stripped out and turned back into a printable character. What you need to be able to do is turn *off* smart quotes in telnet. -- Chuq Von Rospach <+> Editor,OtherRealms <+> Member SFWA/ASFA chuq@apple.com <+> CI$: 73317,635 <+> [This is myself speaking] Trust Mama Nature to remind us just how important things like sci.aquaria's name really is in the scheme of things.
