2 Errata Information for MR12.4
3
4
5 pg 17-20.1: replace the current "comout-command" ^X^E and add |
6 "comout-command-to-buffer" ^U^X^E, both as presented |
7 below. |
8 |
9 ^X^E comout-command |
10 Executes a Multics command line prompted for end |
11 with CR, and places the output in a buffer; if the |
12 command line is empty this request is aborted. The |
13 output is placed in the buffer "file_output"; |
14 however, if the command is given a numeric argument |
15 e.g. ^U^X^E the "comout-command-to-buffer" |
16 command see below is executed. The file_output |
17 buffer is made the current buffer. |
18
19
20 ^U^X^E comout-command-to-buffer |
21 This is like "comout-command", except the user is |
22 prompted for the name of a buffer which is used |
23 instead of "file_output". This can be made the |
24 normal operation of ^X^E by placing the following |
25 line in the start_up.emacs see Appendix G for more |
26 information on the start_up.emacs: |
27 set-permanent-key "^X^E" comout-command-to-buffer |
28
29
30 pg B-5 to B-6: add the following RMAIL mode commands.
31
32 ? rmail-help
33 Displays as printout a brief description of each of the
34 RMAIL mode commands.
35
36 x rmail-toggle-seen
37 Toggles the "Seen" switch of the current message being
38 read. The state of this switch is indicated as minor
39 mode "Seen" in the RMAIL buffer.
40
41
42 f rmail-forward
43 Forwards the current message to a list of addresses
44 which are prompted for in the mini-buffer.
45 Redistribution comments can be added by supplying a
46 numeric argument e.g. 3f. A comment buffer which
47 allows the use of ^X^Q quit, ^X^A acknowledge, and
48 ^X^S send will be created.
49
50
51 pg B-7: replace the first paragraph of the page with the
52 following.
53
54 Once you have invoked the r request, you can use the MAIL
55 mode requests as well as the standard Emacs requests. In
56 addition, the following requests are available refer to the
57 individual rmail request to determine which of these
58 requests are valid.
59
60
61 pg B-7: add the following RMAIL command description.
62
63 ^X^A rmail-toggle-ack
64 In a mail-mode or forwarding comments buffer, toggles the
65 "Ack" request of the mail.
66
67
68 pg B-7: replace the description of ^X^S with the following.
69
70 ^X^S send-the-mail, foward-the-mail
71 Sends the reply, or forwards the message and comments, and
72 returns to RMAIL and its window.
73
74
75 pg C-9 & C-12: replace the description of "ESC ^C" with the |
76 following. |
77 |
78 ESC ^C compile-buffer |
79 Compiles the buffer. Writes the current buffer out |
80 to its default pathname as for ^X^S, and then |
81 compiles it. Compiler diagnostics are placed in the |
82 buffer "Compilation Errors" if the option |
83 "one-error-scan-buffer" is On the default; if it |
84 is Off then the diagnostics are placed in the buffer |
85 "<name> Errors", where <name> is replaced with the |
86 name of the buffer being compiled. This allows |
87 several buffers to be compiled without overwriting |
88 each other's messages. If in two-window mode, the |
89
90
91 error buffer is displayed in another window; if the |
92 option "compile-two-windows" is On the default is |
93 Off then this command will automatically enter |
94 two-window mode if necessary. If the |
95 "compile-local-display" option is On default is |
96 Off and "compile-two-windows" is Off, the error |
97 messages will be displayed as a local display in |
98 addition to being put in a buffer. If neither is |
99 set the default, a one-line local display will |
100 indicate whether the compilation was successful. |
101 The extended requests "ESC X set-compiler" and |
102 "ESC X set-compile-options" can be used to select |
103 the compiler and options to be used. |
104
105
106 pg C-9 & C-13: Remove the following sentence from the |
107 description of ^X^D. |
108 |
109 Since this mode locks the buffer used for compilations, you |
110 are strongly advised to exit it when you are finished. |
