ANSITerm Version 2.1

[paul.parkhurst@uttsbbs.uucp (Paul Parkhurst)]

Global Macro Editor Enhancements
--------------------------------

ANSITerm Version 2.1 supports multiple sets of global macros.  Instead
of the single set of 52 global macros that Version 2.0 supported, you may now
create any number of different sets of global macros.  Global macro sets may
be loaded and created right in the Global Macro Editor, or they may be loaded
by using the macro language.
ANSITerm Version 2.1 now also supports auto-execution of global macros
at startup, shutdown, after file transfers, and after a disconnect.  This
allows for custom scripting for features such as dial and transfer logs,
automatic execution of scripts when ANSITerm is started, and more.



EDITOR ENHANCEMENTS:

*   New easy-to-use Preferences window
*   Definable editor width from 20 to 80 characters
*   Definable quote string, up to 15 characters
*   The editor now supports the loading and saving
of Appleworks(r) Classic AWP files.  You can use
the editor to convert between standard text,
APW source, and Appleworks AWP files.  Tab settings
from AWP files will be retrieved and used, and
will be saved with any AWP file.
*   New command to remove control codes and convert
Unix "newline" characters to carriage returns.
*   Send To Modem has been enhanced with the new ASCII
Send features (see below)
*   You may specify a special group of global macros just
for use in the editor.  This global macro set will
be loaded in when you enter the editor and the previous
set will be reloaded when you exit the editor.
*   The cursor mode will be saved with your configuration.



SEND TO MODEM ENHANCEMENTS:

ANSITerm Version 2.1 adds more features to all "send to modem" commands,
including ASCII Text Send, OA-M in the editor, and Send to Modem in
scrollback.

AWP files.

or just empty lines.

pacing of sent text.

the "scrollback full" condition.  You can have it
prompt you like normal, or automatically clear or
halve your scrollback.
*   New Autosave Scrollback Feature:  ANSITerm can now
automatically save your scrollback to a text file
whenever you exit or when scrollback is cleared or

something in your last ANSITerm session.  ANSITerm
can either overwrite or append scrollback information
to this file.
*   New Screen Saver Feature:  ANSITerm will now blank your
screen for you in order to protect your monitor.  You
may specify anwhere from a 1 to 255 minute delay
before the screen is blanked, or this feature may be
disabled.

as a capture buffer.  All information you receive from
your modem can be automatically sent to the editor.
You can also tell ANSITerm to filter put any non-
displayed characters, including ANSI and VT-100 codes
and control codes.
