Information about “PROFONEDIT - EDITOR”

PROCOMM PLUS is a good telecommunications program, but you can only
edit single entries at a time.  With PROFONEDIT PLUS, you can mark
entire blocks of the directory for moving, deleting, inserting,
exchanging, packing, and sorting telephone entries.  Edit your PROCOMM
PLUS dialing directory like a wordprocessor.

PROFONEDIT PLUS gives more editing capabilities on each line of the
directory and can ``undo'' multiple-editing changes.  A backup file can
be created at any time and on-line help explains each command of the
program menu.  This program is a necessity for anyone using
PROCOMM PLUS who wants to edit and reorganize their telephone
directory.

          I. What Profonedit Plus is, what it requires
          
          PFE+ (PFE+) is the PROCOMM PLUS dialing directory processor. You
          only need PFE+ if you use PROCOMM PLUS--and if you use PROCOMM
          PLUS, you need PFE+. PFE+ requires MS-DOS or PC-DOS 2.0 or later,
          and a computer with a display compatible with the IBM CGA or MDA
          (including the IBM EGA and VGA) or the Hercules monochrome
          graphics adapters, and an IBM PC or AT compatible keyboard. (Some
          keyboard commands described here may work differently or not at
          all on an IBM PC jr.) PFE+ requires a minimum of 200K bytes of
          available RAM.
          
          PFE+ is a processor in the same way that your favorite word
          processor is: it will let you edit and rearrange your PROCOMM
          PLUS dialing directory ("directory") to suit yourself, without
          tedious one-line-at-a-time entry and deletion.
          
          PFE+'s benefits include: maintaining multiple directories,
          eliminating uninteresting entries, rapidly sorting to suit your
          changing requirements, reducing the time spent looking for and
          rearranging entries, and more. PFE+ lets you work in the same
          screen colors that you chose for PROCOMM PLUS: no forced "bright
          yellow on black," no boring repetition of a configuration
          process.
          
          PFE+'s features include: full on-line help for all functions, full
          screen/full directory editing (using either function and cursor
          keys, or control-key combinations), multiple "undos" of changes,
          retention of a backup file (disk space permitting), packing,
          moving and deleting entries, inserting blank entries, sorting on
          up to six fields, and more. All of PFE+'s commands operate on
          ranges of lines that you mark, never forcing you into working on
          the whole directory to change just a few entries.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          II. How to run Profonedit Plus: A Quick Start
          
          A WARNING: If you use PROCOMM PLUS's DOS Gateway to run PFE+, do
          NOT save the directory to disk when you leave PFE+! The results
          are unpredictable. At this time, PROCOMM PLUS is not aware of
          PFE+, and cannot be expected to suspect that you have changed the
          disk file while through the gateway. (If you do run PFE+ when
          using the DOS Gateway, you will be reminded of this warning
          during PFE+'s startup.)
          
          Place the files PFEPLUS.EXE and PFEPLUS.HLP in the same
          subdirectory on the same disk. If you can, put them in the same
          subdirectory on the same disk as the files PCPLUS.DIR and
          PCPLUS.PRM, or any other PROCOMM PLUS directory files you want to
          process.



                                PROFONEDIT PLUS                       - 2 -


          Make the PFE+ subdirectory the current one (using the dos CD
          command). If you want to process PCPLUS.DIR, and it is in the
          PFE+ subdirectory, then at the DOS prompt, just type:
          
                          PFEPLUS[Enter]
          
          ("[Enter]" means to press the Enter or Return key. Don't press the
          [].)
          
          If the PFE+ display exhibits unacceptable "snow" (ie, if your
          display looks trashy) then restart PFE+ thus:;
          
                          PFEPLUS /I
          
          If you want to process a different directory, or PCPLUS.DIR is not
          in the PFE+ subdirectory, then at the DOS prompt type:
          
                          PFEPLUS dr:\path\filename[Enter]
          
          where "dr:" is the drive the directory is on (if not the same as
          the one PFE+ is on), "\path\" is the "path" to that file (if not
          the PFE+ subdirectory), and "filename" is the name of the file.
          PFE+ forces the filename extension to be ".DIR", like PROCOMM
          PLUS does. (For starters, put PFEPLUS.DIR in the PFE+
          subdirectory, and command "PFEPLUS PFEPLUS" to see the sample
          directory file.)
          
          To leave PFE+ and return to DOS, press Esc. If you made changes to
          the directory while in PFE+, you will be prompted to save it to
          disk. If you do, and disk space permits, the original disk file
          will be saved, with the extension .BAQ (eg, PCPLUS.BAQ).
          
          
          
          
          
          
          III. Running Profonedit Plus: In Detail
          
          Please read section II, "How to run PFEPLUS: A Quick Start,"
          before reading this section. Some information there is not
          repeated here.
          
          PFE+ can only find PFEPLUS.HLP if it is in the same subdirectory
          with it and that ("the PFE+ subdirectory") is the current
          subdirectory on the current drive. It can run without
          PFEPLUS.HLP, but on-line help will not be available.
          
          The full command for running PFE+ is:
          
                  PFEPLUS [dr:][path\][filename] [/a] [/b] [/c] [/i] [/s]
          



                                PROFONEDIT PLUS                       - 3 -


          Note that the filename extension is forced to be ".DIR" and can
          be omitted on the command line. Do not type the []. Any item
          within [] is optional. Although all arguments are shown in lower
          case, they may be in upper or mixed case. The hyphen character
          (-) may be used in place of the slash character. The dr: and/or
          path\ and/or filename arguments, if used, must not be separated
          from each other by spaces, but must be separated from "PFEPLUS"
          and any other arguments by spaces or tab characters. All other
          arguments must be separated from each other and from "PFEPLUS" by
          at least one space or tab character.
          
          The arguments are:
          
                  dr:             the drive where the directory is
                  path\           the path to the directory
                  filename        the name of the directory
                  /a              turn off Alarm beeps
                  /b              use only "Black and white" (this may be
                                  of use to "Herc" owners)
                  /c              use default Color
                  /i              assume IBM CGA card and suppress "snow"
                                  on display
                  /s              turn off Sound effects (not alarms)
          
          If PFE+ fails to find the directory file, it looks in the DOS
          "environment" for the string "PCPLUS". Finding it, PFE+ will use
          its value to search for the directory. Still failing to find the
          directory, PFE+ will stop with an appropriate message. (See the
          PROCOMM PLUS users' manual for information on the environment and
          PCPLUS.)
          
          If PFE+ finds the directory, it also looks for the file
          PCPLUS.PRM, which contains information on your choice of screen
          colors, sound usage, etc. If PFE+ fails to find PCPLUS.PRM it
          uses assumed values for colors and sounds. Note that the "/x"
          arguments allow you to force PFE+ to override both the assumed
          values and those contained in PCPLUS.PRM.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          IV. Getting Help from Profonedit Plus
          
          At any time that PFE+ is displaying the directory, you can press
          AltZ or function key 1 ("F1") to display a help window. ("AltZ"
          means to hold the "Alt" key down while pressing "Z" or "z".) To
          close the help window, press the Escape key ("Esc"). (All PFE+
          windows close with Esc, or in response to a requested prompt.)
          
          The information displayed in the initial help window depends on
          PFE+'s state at the time the window opened: whether some other
          window was open, or you were in the Editor, etc.

                                PROFONEDIT PLUS                       - 5 -


          A list of related topics appears near the bottom of each help
          window. One of the topics is always highlighted. The space bar
          and the cursor keys move the highlighting from topic to topic.
          Pressing Enter changes the display to a window about the
          highlighted topic.
          
          Selection of the topic "Editor Help" leads, unsurprisingly, to the
          "Editor Help" window. From that window, by making obvious
          choices, any topic in the help system can be displayed. Many of
          those windows list "Editor Help" as a topic, to enable a return
          to the "top" of the system.
          
          Once you know how to use the PFE+ help system, you can put this
          manual away.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          V. The Editor
          
          PFE+ works just like a text editor or word processor. Of course,
          not all text editors and word processors work alike. PFE+ follows
          the example of QEdit (the well-known programmers' editor by
          SemWare) except where PROCOMM PLUS compatibility requires
          otherwise. For a complete list of editing and cursor control
          keys, open the Editor Help window and select Keys as the next
          topic.
          
          By default, PFE+ operates in "overwrite mode," meaning that when
          you type a character, it replaces the character which had been at
          the cursor location. Pressing Ins or ^V will change the mode from
          overwrite to "insert," or back again. ("^V" means to hold the
          "Ctrl" or "Control" key down while pressing "V" or "v".) In
          insert mode, typing a character will cause the characters from
          the cursor to the end of the field to move right one column. The
          character at the right end of the field will be lost. When in
          insert mode, the cursor will appear larger than when in overwrite
          mode. Whichever mode is selected will stay in effect until Ins/^V
          is pressed again.
          
          In some columns, PFE+ accepts only certain characters--the same
          characters that PROCOMM PLUS would accept when revising an entry.
          In the "D" (Duplex) column, for example, PFE+ accepts only "F",
          "f", "H", or "h".
          
          In the Baud field, not only does PFE+ reject some characters, but
          when it accepts one which lets it guess the correct baud, it
          completes the entry. For example, typing "1" in the first Baud
          column leads PFE+ to place "9" in the second and "2" in the
          third, for a Baud of 19200. The Terminal and Protocol fields
          also try to "guess" your intent.

          VI. Profonedit Plus Commands: How They Operate
          
          PFE+ commands are given by pressing Alt keys. The commands and
          their Alt keys are listed in the lower portion of the Editor
          screen. Each command has at least one help window, in addition to
          a brief listing in one of the "Commands" help windows.
          
          When commands are to work on a range of entries (a "block"), the
          block must be "marked." To mark a block, place the cursor at the
          top line in the block and press F3; then place the cursor at the
          bottom line in the block and press F4. Since a block command will
          always operate on the marked block, you may want to turn the
          marks off between commands. F2 turns marks off, or if they are
          already off, it turns them on.
          
          If there is no marked block, some commands (Insert and Clear) will
          work on the cursor line, just as if it were a one-line marked
          block.
          
          Some commands require both a marked block and the location of the
          cursor line, and will not operate if the cursor line is within
          the marked block. The Move command, for example, moves the marked
          block so that it is right before the cursor line.
          
          Don't worry about messing up the directory by clearing or moving a
          block when you didn't mean to. Every potentially destructive
          command makes an in-RAM backup copy of the lines to be changed,
          before it changes them. The Undo command allows quick recovery
          from accidental changes. PFE+ keeps as many backups available as
          RAM permits, disposing of the oldest ones when it needs the RAM
          for something else. You can often undo the changes all the way
          back to the original state of the directory.
          
          A few commands may prompt you for a single-letter response. Such
          prompts appear in the form, "Question? (Y/N)". The case of your
          response doesn't matter: "Y" is as good as "y". Pressing Esc will
          close the prompt window and cancel the command.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          VII. Profonedit Plus: Commands: A Summary
          
          A more complete explanation of the commands is available in the
          PFE+ help system. From Editor Help, select Commands. Continue
          through the Commands help windows until the command of interest
          is listed. Then select that command as the next help topic.

          The commands:
          
            BackUp (AltB): saves the state of the directory and the Editor,
            in RAM, for later use by Undo. (Backup on command is in
            addition to the automatic backups PFE+ does.)
          
            Clear (AltC): over a marked block, or at the cursor line if
            nothing is marked, replaces the Name, Number and Script fields
            with spaces, the Total and Last fields with 0s, and restores
            the Baud, P, D, S and Duplex fields to default values.
          
            Exchange (AltE): swaps the contents of a marked block with an
            equal-sized block starting at the cursor line. The two blocks
            cannot overlap, and there must be enough lines after the cursor
            to make the exchange.
          
            Insert (AltI): replaces the lines in a marked block, or the
            cursor line, with empty lines (lines having only spaces in the
            Name, Number and Script fields). The original lines are moved
            down in the directory, and empty lines below them are moved
            into their place. (Insert does not clear any lines, or restore
            any default values.)
          
            Move (AltM): moves a marked block to the position in front of
            the cursor line. (If the cursor line is the last line in the
            directory, then the block is moved to the end of the
            directory.)
          
            Pack (AltP): moves the empty lines in a marked block to its
            bottom.
          
            Register (AltR): displays PFE+ licensing and registration
            information, and offers to print a registration form.
          
            Sort (AltS): rearranges the lines in a marked block, based on
            your selection of up to six of seven fields (Name, Number, Area
            Code, Exchange, Baud, Total Calls and Last Calls) and two
            directions (ascending and descending) per field.
          
            Toggle Display (AltT): changes the displayed fields between
            Number/Baud/P/D/S/D and Total/Last/Protocol/Terminal.
          
            Undo (AltU): restores the state of the directory and the Editor
            to that of a previous backup.
          
            eXchange Dir: prompts to save the directory to disk, and loads a
            new directory file from disk.
          
            Exit (Esc): prompts to save the directory to disk, and quits
            PFE+ to return to DOS.
          
          Pack and Sort may prompt "Page by page or the entire block (P/B)".
          The prompt will occur only if the marked block starts at the top
          of one page (a line number ending in 1) and ends at the bottom of



                                PROFONEDIT PLUS                       - 8 -


          another page (a line number ending in 0). Answering "P" or "p"
          will cause all lines effected to remain on their original pages,
          as if the command had been repeated for each page individually.
          Answering "B" or "b" will cause the command to operate on the
          entire block as a unit. Pressing Esc will cancel the command.
          
          Sort will open a window displaying the choice of fields and
          directions. If a previous sort has been done, the previous choice
          of fields and directions will appear as the default choice. To
          accept the default, press F10. To cancel the sort, press Esc.
          
          To edit the choice of fields and directions, use the cursor keys,
          Enter, and the space bar to move the cursor to a desired field
          and direction. Place a number from 1 through 6 at that location:
          1 for the most significant field, higher numbers for less
          significant fields. The number should appear beside the field
          name, in the direction column. An example:
          
                                              Asc  Des
                                Name           3
                                Number
                                  Area Code    2
                                  Exchange
                                Baud
                                Total Calls
                                Last Call           1
          
          would sort first: by Last Call, in descending order (i.e., most
          recent calls first); then: by Area Code, in ascending order;
          last: by Name, in ascending order.
          
          Two things to note about sorts on the Number fields: You cannot
          sort on Area Code or Exchange if you sort on Number (and vice
          versa); and sorting on Area Code or Exchange will not be
          meaningful unless your numbers are right justified, in the format
          "nnnnnnn aaa xxx nnnn", where "n" and space are "I don't care
          characters," "aaa" is the area code, and "xxx" is the exchange.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          VIII. Support of Profonedit Plus
          
          Sunflower Systems supports PFE+ by email on CompuServe
          [73307,3101], on GEnie [K.BRENDEL], by voice telephone, and by
          USPS mail. Registered users receive the author's home telephone
          number, for support during evenings and weekends, and can expect
          to receive prompt replies to their questions communicated by
          CompuServe, GEnie or USPS.
          



                                PROFONEDIT PLUS                       - 9 -


          Any user may also exchange email with Karl Brendel on the public-
          access bulletin board systems listed on the first page of the
          PFEPLUS.DIR file.
          
          Unregistered users are invited to write to Sunflower Systems.
          Because past experience has indicated that most support requests
          involve matters covered in the manual or the help system, and
          because support is a primary incentive for users to register, we
          may not always reply to unregistered users unless it is apparent
          that they have found a real problem with the program or the
          manual. In any event, if an individual reply is desired,
          unregistered users should provide a stamped, self-addressed
          envelope. (Note: We have never failed to reply to an unregistered
          user--we just don't promise a reply.)
          
          If you find a "bug," or some other flaw, in PFE+, please report
          it to Sunflower Systems. Please include a copy of your
          AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, a list of any resident
          programs not named in those files, the report given by CHKDSK,
          and a full description of your system, including the type of DOS
          (MS or PC, and version number). If PFE+ makes a mistake it can't
          recover from, it will offer to save the directory file (if
          possible) and will print out an error report on the screen, with
          a request to record it. We would greatly appreciate a full report
          on the incident, but please do not feel that this requires a
          voice call late at night. Although we will certainly want to know
          soon, we can wait for email or USPS, and be sure the information
          is right.
          
          
          
          
          
          
          IX. Thanks and Miscellaneous Remarks
          
          First, thanks to you, both for trying PFE+ and for reading the
          manual. PFE+ exists only in the hopes of your using it. Again,
          Thanks!
          
          And thanks to the Datastorm Technologies people for their long
          effort in developing, improving, and marketing PROCOMM and
          PROCOMM PLUS. They've done a lot for computerized communications,
          and a lot for the Shareware movement. And for the encouragement
          they've given me, Thanks!
          
          Thanks also to my friends, new and old, whose previous help has
          improved PFE+: Sammy [QEdit II] Mitchell, John [GoodLook] Dove,
          Pradeep [Turbo Development System] Arora, and Tom [Checkeroo]
          Rodman. Thanks also to Jim Fouch, who not only tested, but
          contributed a closed conference on his Sleepy Hollow PC Board to
          make it easier to coordinate testing. Be assured that bugs or
          other flaws that remain in Profonedit are my fault, not theirs,
          and that much of what is good about PFE+ resulted from their

          feedback. Thanks! (The terms appearing in [] above are the names
          of programs, both Shareware and conventional, which those people
          have authored. Look for them--they're all first-rate programs.)
          
          PFE+ is written in Turbo Pascal, version 4. It uses many of the
          Turbo Professional routines published by TurboPower Software.
          Behind every good programmer are a good editor and a good
          debugger. Despite having Borland's excellent integrated editor-
          compiler environment, the editor behind PFE+ was QEdit 2, the
          multifile, multiwindow macroeditor from Semware, written by Sammy
          Mitchell. The debugger was TDebug+ 4, the source/assembler
          debugger/animator, published by TurboPower Software, based on
          David Baldwin's TDebug. Another aid to my habit of slinging
          terminal quantities of mistyped code onto the disk was the Turbo
          Development System 4 (TDS), a fast syntax checker which virtually
          guarantees successful first-time compilation of Turbo Pascal,
          published by MicroHelp, Inc., written by Pradeep Arora. Ordering
          information for these products may be found in any major magazine
          for MS-DOS programmers. (Contact me if you don't find the
          information elsewhere.) They are all reasonably priced (indeed,
          cheaply priced for conventional distribution) and to be highly
          recommended. On top of all that, Thanks to the authors and
          publishers for making them available!

                                 Ordering Information
          
          
          A PFE+ registration licenses you to use the product on a regular
          basis. Users need register only one version of PFE+; registration
          includes licensed use of all later releases.
          
          Registration of PFE+ costs only $20 for a single copy license. It
          entitles the registrant to receive, at no further cost, one
          upgrade of PFE+, on diskette, by mail. The registrant may choose
          when to receive the upgrade. Note that the upgrade benefit
          applies to versions of PFE+ supporting future versions of PROCOMM
          PLUS, as well. In addition, the registrant will receive mailed
          notification of major updates, (which can be ordered at a nominal
          cost--currently $5), and support from Sunflower Systems, above
          and beyond the support provided to unregistered users. See
          "Support of PFE PLUS." If you have read this far, thank you!
          Here's a benefit just from doing that: When you run PFE+, if you
          include " /f" or " -f" (for Fast) after the name PFEPLUS, you
          will not be delayed for key presses during the startup.
          
          Please use the order form from the beginning of this manual or
          from the Registration command when placing an order.
          
          Orders from outside the US: Please send instruments drawn on US
          institutions in US dollars.
