PBFASHOW/PBMASHOW - Pex utils to display an ansi file for a specific file or message area. (C)1994 G.Smith - Another fine HomeGrown Pex! Installation ------------- 1. Place PBFASHOW.PEX/PBMASHOW.PEX in your \proboard\pex directory 2/ Edit/create suitable ANS/ASC/AVT files for your file/message areas. 3. Place PBFASHOW.INI/PBMASHOW.INI in your \PROBOARD\PEX directory and edit it to suit the specific file area. PBFASHOW : ie FileArea1 = 50 <-- File area number from PROCFG of area where you wish to display ansi file. DispFile1 = PROBOARD <-- Name of ASC/ANS/AVT file to display when user changes to this file area. PBMASHOW : ie MsgArea1 = 23 <-- Message area number from PROCFG of area where you wish to display ansi file. DispFile1 = ADULT <-- Name of ASC/ANS/AVT file to display when user changes to this message area. 4. Create a second entry in the file menu setup for 'Area Change' _after_ the existing are change entry. The second entry must have the same hotkey(s) as the existing entry(s), but will be a type 60- Run Proboard SDK File type menu entry. eg. A|; |Select New FileArea | * A|; |Run ProBoard SDK File | PBFASHOW or if you are using ALIST... A|; |Run ProBoard SDK File | ALIST F -*,+[1..15]...etc A|; |Run ProBoard SDK File | PBFASHOW Do same for PBMASHOW.... It is important that the PBFASHOW.PBMASHOW entry comes after your existing area change entry(s). That way it is run _after_ the person has changed to the file or message area.
