Can margins be set in writing Tapcis mail?
Some of my correspondents use a Mac. Because of the narrower Mac screen, my mail msgs to them tend to have long and short lines.
Is there a secret setting in Tapcis that would permit me, while writing a mail msg, to set the margins at, say, 65 characters wide instead of Tap's default width? I can add HRts manually at the end of each line, and do it that way (and tell Tap to keep the format when sending), but that's a hassle when I'm in a hurry. Another way I do it is to compose the msg in my text editor, which allows me to set margin widths, save it as a file, then do Shft-F10 to retrieve the file when I open Tap's msg screen (and again X Save Format when sending). Still extra hassle, but it works. Any magic within Tapcis that would work? (As you can tell, I haven't dug into all of Tap's features.) ed p. |

Lindsey's better at expert settings than I am, but you can set up an external editor to be the Tapcis editor.

Expert setting?
Duh....what's that? I already in effect use ED.EXE as an external editor for Tapcis. I'll have to see about making it officially a Tap external editor. The HELP page on external editors already uses ED.EXE as the example for configuring. Now if I can only get a plain English translation of what the HELP writer said to do. <vbg> ed p. |

The big thing I remember about the margin setting is that it didn't always work.

I think the external editor is much the better solution, especially since TAPCIS lets you switch back and forth on the fly. --Lindsey |
