TLXDIR01.TXT Telix Directory Scripts TLXDIR01.TXT ver 1.00á May - 1992 Mr. Jiggs This archive contains four (4) Telix ver 3.15 scripts, and their corresponding compiled versions. These scripts create windows (boxes) that display a scrolling list of the files in your UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD directory. These windows pop up in the lower right and left hand corners of the screen. Each script uses the Telix "System Variables" _UP_DIR and _DOWN_DIR to define the two (2) directories, so you have to have these defined within Telix. To define these variables, load (run) Telix, then press Alt+O (while holding down the "Alt" key press the letter O). From the menu that appears select the "Filenames and paths" option (press "F"). Select option A - Download directory: Enter the full pathname for the directory where you want the files you receive from a BBS to be saved. i.e. C:\COPYDOWN\ It's important to include the trailing back slash ("\"). Then select option B - Upload directory: Here you enter the full pathname for the directory where you store the files you're going to send to a BBS, or wherever... i.e. C:\COPYUP\ It's important to include the trailing BACK SLASH ("\"). Once these two (2) steps are completed select "W" (Write setup to disk) to save this information. Now the scripts you use with Telix will have this infor- mation stored in the above mentioned variables. _UP_DIR & _DOWN_DIR TLXDIR01.TXT Telix Directory Scripts TLXDIR01.TXT ver 1.00á May - 1992 So, if I used the following commands in a script: printsc("Upload Directory: "); prints(_up_dir); printsc("Download Directory: "); prints(_down_dir); I would see on my monitor: Upload Directory: C:\COPYUP\ Download Directory: C:\COPYDOWN\ There are two (2) versions of each script, one that pauses when the directory window is full & waits for you to press a key, and one that scrolls automatically to the end of the listing. You DON'T want to use the one that "pauses" in a script that automatically uploads or downloads files, as it will sit there waiting for you to press a key. These windows display the file names ONLY (no sizes or dates), as I use them to refresh my own "BIOLOGICAL RAM" when I'm prompted by a BBS to enter the file name(s) and I realize I haven't the faintest idea what I called them. TLXDIR01.TXT Telix Directory Scripts TLXDIR01.TXT ver 1.00á May - 1992 To have these scripts readily available I assign them to function keys. This is done through the keyboard definition function in Telix. You access this by entering Alt+K (while holding down the "Alt" key press the letter K), then select the "Regular" keyboard. Next press the letter "E" to Edit the settings. Now press the keystroke you want to use i.e. press the "F12" key, or hold the "Shift" and press "F12", or "Ctrl"+"D", or whatever... You now enter an AT SYMBOL ("@") and the name of the script you're "calling" (without the ".SLC" extension) and press the "Enter" key (or "Return"). i.e. @SENDLOOP You then enter the next keystroke to be defined and it's "definition", continuing until you've entered all the scripts you want to call with special keystrokes. Now you press the space bar to end the key definitions. If everything seemed okay you can press the letter "S" to SAVE this information so that it will always be available. If you always use the defaults in Telix then save it under the filename TELIX. However BE FOREWARNED ! This will replace your default keyboard definition with whatever you entered! You CAN test what you entered BEFORE saving it by pressing the letter "X" (for eXit), which will leave the keyboard definition routine with the entries you made active. If everything works the way you want it to you can go back in (Alt+K, Regular), and select the "S"ave option now. If this is confusing... TLXDIR01.TXT Telix Directory Scripts TLXDIR01.TXT ver 1.00á May - 1992 MAKE A BACK-UP COPY OF ALL YOUR TELIX FILES BEFORE YOU START SAVING NEW INFORMATION ! IF YOU MESS-UP ROYALLY YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR ORIGINALS AND BE NO WORSE FOR THE WEAR. FILES: Source Files... Copy these to whatever directory you keep your SALT source files in (i.e. C:\TELIX\SALT\). Any changes you want to make should be done to these, then you recompile the script (CS scriptname), and move the resultant ".SLC" file to your TELIX directory. I have entered the "Form Feed" control into these files so that if you COPY them to your printer each one will fit nicely on three pages using 12cpi... i.e. COPY *.SLT LPT1: SENDLOOP.SLT - SALT Source for Upload Directory List WITHOUT any pausing... SENDPAWS.SLT - SALT Source for Upload Directory List WITH a pause for each nine (9) files RECVLOOP.SLT - SALT Source for Download Directory List WITHOUT any pausing... RECVPAWS.SLT - SALT Source for Download Directory List WITH a pause for each nine (9) files Compiled Script Files... Copy these to your TELIX directory (i.e. C:\TELIX\) SENDLOOP.SLC - Compiled SALT Source for Upload Directory List WITHOUT any pausing... SENDPAWS.SLC - Compiled SALT Source for Upload Directory List WITH a pause for each nine (9) files RECVLOOP.SLC - Compiled SALT Source for Download Directory List WITHOUT any pausing...
