5.2.4 Reader Functions for modifying MsgEd TE Options

Function: view, bound to: Alt-V

Toggle display of message control lines, kludge lines, etc.

Function: config, bound to: Alt-S

This function allows you to set some (but not all) of the system switches. See Switches, for more information.

Function: chngaddr, bound to: Ctrl-W

Change the origination address used for writing mail. You will not need this key in normal operation, as MsgEd TE employs an intelligent mechanism for AKA matching.

Function: chnodel, bound to: Ctrl-N

Change the currently active nodelist.

Function: name, bound to: Ctrl-U

If you have defined more than one user name with the Name configuration keyword, you can use this function to select the name to use when writing messages. If you have any GroupSettings keyword in your config, this selection will only last until you enter a new area, because in such a scenario, the username which is used is defined by the area that you are in. If you don’t have any GroupSettings keyword in your config, this selection will last until you make a different one. See The GroupSettings keyword, for more information.
