Ärende: Long Filename Troubles.
===============================
EV>Since I use a DOS Mail Reader (SLMR) whenever I want to import a text
EV>file into an outgoing message I will Save the text using XPs Notepad and
EV>give the file a 8.3 name.

EV>The URLs I found last night for my ROUNDTUIT message to You, I Copied
EV>from Firefox and Pasted into a new Notepad file, then I Saved it to the
EV>Filename round2it.txt .

EV>I tried a couple of times to Import (Alt-R "Read In Text File" in SLMR)
EV>my file as round2it.txt and the file couldn't be found.

EV>So I exited to CMD (DOS) and found out that DIR round*.* /x gave me
EV>round2~1.txt instead of the 8.3 filename I used.

do you run SLMR in a window or Full Screen??
I run in a window becasue cut and pasting in messages is easier for me.
IF I want to put something into a window I jsut highlight it in
anothere window and thne select edit/cut. Then go to the SLMR window
and right click on the blue(Unless one has changed the default
colorss)border at the top of the window and select edit/paste.
Now there may be a way to do the same think is Full screen but I have
not looked into that.
The Down side of workign SLMR in a Window the size fo the window is set
bt the font size used and there is a limited selection avilable by right
clicking on hte Blue border and selecting properties/font. I use the
10X18 font which gives an approx 33% sized window.
