World: r3wp

Are you using AltME on AmigaOS4.1?

No there is no AltMe version to download for AOS i am using my wife'sPC

The aA button works fine. I thought it would only affect selected 
text.

ok, if the window is too big, you can probably right click the task 
bar icon for the program and select "Maximize".

Ther is no visible effect.

When moving the window around, it seems to come back to its position.

At least i have 3 empty lines to start a message with now. lI find 
it sore on the eyes though when typing messages lionger than 3 lines
Remember the search question?

You can drag the write line bigger by the little ridge that sits 
above the buttonbar, if that helps.

Searching: Click the magnifying glass in the top right corner. If 
you find the message found during search is too old for display, 
click the Home button and Settings and increase the message limit.

Dragging the little white ridge allowed me to have 3 lblank lines 
visible gto start with. No setting to have a larger number of empty 
lines?

Searching is OK, thanks; I did discover the help info for the other 
buttons; Nice too

I don't think there is any setting for storing the number of empty 
lines at program start.

I have tried to create an own Altme World., without succes. Th problem 
is password related.

Perhaps you're using an existing world name?

Everytime i change the Master's password from "pass" to a more robust 
password, i am not able any more to vist the newly created World.

I think i followed the  AltMe guidelines and tried sequentially new 
worlds till i got a message that  i had reached a creation limit.

I did sent to AltMe a message asking to delete those failed worlds 
and explaining as here, what happened.Till now no answer;
Any idea what i am doing wrong?

I don't think i am using an existing name (used sevferall) aand the 
server confirmed that the names were free

don't know tthen

Next question then. How do i get tot the first messages of a group?

each client syncs on connection to download all the messages ... 
which could take quite a while

to see the first message you have to either use a 3rd party message 
browser ... or set your messages to a high number eg. 10,000 but 
that will slow everything down.

In settings I have 1000 messages per group

Seems i have a settings of 800
Looks OK to me.    
What 3d party browsers do exist?

several people have written them .. check rebol.org

DideC wrote one

hello

how can I remove the newline from the end of a file I wrote to? thanks.

my last attempt to connect to the room failed...

todun - read http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-6.htmlIt 
shows you how to handle a series.   Getting to the End, backing up 
a character, and removing it might work.   If you just want to remove 
the last character you can always do that in one simple line.  Remember 
to save the full series from the head.    If you are not sure the 
last character is a LF then you need to add a test ... still in the 
same line if you want to scrunch it.

Missed the solutions on Rebol School. Sorry for the extra churn.

@MikeL, thanks. I will try to make it work.

How can I make a file containing a tokens on each line be displayed 
one at a time in an info field(ie not modfiable, just readable) on 
the view when I click a button?

how do I make the data loaded from the file change to another token 
in the file when I click another button?

how to copy/paste in ALTME?

right click upon the message text.But - sometimes it does not work. 
You can also hilite the text by mouse, ctrl + c for copy, ctrl + 
v for paste ...

@Pekr, Thanks for your reply. I am using Linux. None of the suggestiosn 
you made work. Thanks though.

@Pekr, to clarify. Using the right-click does show an Alert button 
that I have "copied to clipboard" but does not twll me what to do.

..do paste it.

On Linux it's even more awkward than on other systems. You have to 
go through an exact procedure that I've written up several times 
here in the AltME group

The main thing is that you have to use the middle mouse button for 
pasting

@Kaj, Thanks for your response. The middle mouse button doesn't work 
for pasting for me.

Earlier discussion of paste bug and possible work-arounds:
   http://www.rebol.org/aga-display-posts.r?post=r3wp151x5155

clicking onthe link doesn't open it for me.

Clicking on links doesn't work in the Linux version of AltME

@PeterWood, thank you for the notice.

is there a way to make the ALTME push my message to you guys without 
having to do "CNTRL + S" all the time?

you can disable the pencil icon, then it allows you to simply press 
return. but then you can only send one line of text at a time, which 
may not be practical.

@Henrik, thanks.

is the ! a special character in rebol?  For isntance I come across 
an example where it is used to define a varaibel like so.....model!: 
context [...]

does using the ! have any significant meaning or it's just a choice 
of variable naming?

No special meaning. ! is used in the end of datatypes to easily distinguish 
them from other words.

@Geomol, thank you.

Some might want to use ! as NOT, like in other languages. You can 
do that by:

>> !: :not
>> if ! 2 > 4 [print "it's true"]
it's true

@Geomol, I see. So you use the :not to make not somehow yeild its 
value to !: ?

Yeah, if I didn't put the : in front, it would look up, what NOT 
means, found it to be a function taking one argument and give an 
error, because the argument isn't there. With :not, it takes the 
value of NOT without evaluating it, and that's the function itself.

>> !: not
** Script Error: not is missing its value argument
