The new one is in the winds of DL4… ready to be merged by a passing sysop with nothing better to do; Well, even by one with something better. Even if… no, never mind. Anyway, New features include user control over italics, bold, and underlining; can be selectivly enabled individually. Window close now confirms via requester, so you don't accidentally nuke yourself while playing Captain Window; Macro keys can now capture names from ID in CO line, allowing you to key off of (For instance): Hi, Ben and hane the program respond, "Hello, there, binga", assuming binga was the person who said hi to you. You can do quite a bit more with these, too. Each of the 20 macro keys is a full script handler; they can jump to, or call and return to/from each other, conditionally or unconditionally, with timers, without, make beeps of varying time and frequuency, talk, print to screen, serial port, or narrator; handle control char and special chars like c/r's and so on via "switch" characters; Wait in loop or one shot modes fpor events…. re-trigger or successive trigger on other events. You can do auto sign ons, sign offs, read msgs, send msgs….. you name it. These macro keys are neat-o! (Gee, did I write all that? Musta got carried away) –Ben–

Ben, it's merged – you know at this point when I go into the merge area my term pgm automatically goes to DL4 and downloads CoCo all by itself. Who says AI is BS <hehe>. Marlene

Ben, I just noticed that there is yet another CoComm (3.0)! Are you going to AmiExpo? If so I sure hope you're not bringing your Amiga <hehe>. You need a rest Ben, you're programming your little fingers to the bone. Rest Ben. REST! Marlene

No Amiga, Marlene – just me. <grin>. I plan to have FUN at AmiExpo, not going in official capacity, ONLY going to see stuff and to mett and be with freinds. –Ben– (BY the way, posting 3.01 in a few minuutes) heheheh — Mad Uploader —
