New MS features:
1) You may cause additional information to be inserted into the header
of any message which you send by creating a file on your login
directory on PS: called MS.HEADER-OPTIONS containing the text
to be inserted. This is useful in conjunction with the next
feature:
2) If a message you are replying to has a field in the header called
"Reply-to:", MS will reply to the user specified there rather
than to the user in the "From:" field. This is useful if you
frequently log in to more than one system, but wish to receive
all your mail in one place. Just create a MS.HEADER-OPTIONS
containing the single line "Reply-to: <address to send mail>".
3) MS now understands the logical name EDITOR: and will run the
appropriate program in response to the EDIT and ctrl-E commands.
Editors supported are TV, EMACS, and EDIT. The system default
editor is EDIT. To change this to another editor, put one of
the following commands in your LOGIN.CMD file:
DEFINE EDITOR: SYS:EMACS.EXE
or,
DEFINE EDITOR: SYS:TV.EXE
