The remaining PAN PAN PAN chapters describe how to use , and the appendix gives a summary of the commands available. __________________________________________________________________ 1.1 Overview 1.1 Overview 1.1 Overview PAN PAN PAN allows you to: o copy messages between VMS mail folders and notes conferences, optionally retaining original author/subject/datestamp details. PAN's Show Note command will show the person who actually wrote the note. o copy a range of notes from one VMS notes conference to another (sometimes enabling the recovery of a partially corrupt notes conference), usually used for remote conferences on slow network _________ shadowing links o replace the body of a note in a notes conference with the contents of a text file, without changing the author and timestamp of the note or its seen/unseen status: PAN's Show Note command will show the person who actually wrote the note. o delete a range of notes from a notes conference o manipulate notebook entries to change their name, class, filename and (un)seen map. o manipulate membership lists of conferences, including the copying of the membership list of one conference to another 1-1 1-1 1-1 Introducing PAN Introducing PAN Introducing PAN 1.1 Overview 1.1 Overview 1.1 Overview o create a conference from a dcl command line o show all details of a conference, whether in your notebook or not o modify the conference default moderator o modify notes in a conference o write a basenote or reply to a conference o extract notes to a file or multiple files Note: To replace or delete notes, you must be a Note: To replace or delete notes, you must be a Note: To replace or delete notes, you must be a moderator of the conference and must have RMS READ moderator of the conference and must have RMS READ moderator of the conference and must have RMS READ and WRITE access to the conference that contains the and WRITE access to the conference that contains the and WRITE access to the conference that contains the note. This access is normally restricted to local note. This access is normally restricted to local note. This access is normally restricted to local conferences. conferences. conferences. __________________________________________________________________ 1.2 Getting Started 1.2 Getting Started 1.2 Getting Started PAN PAN PAN To set up on your system, follow these step-by- step instructions. 1 1 1 Copy this file to a local directory: LESLIE""::SYS$PUBLIC:PAN010.A 2 2 2 Then use VMSINSTAL in the usual manner to restore the files and move the PAN.EXE file to SYS$SYSTEM: and PAN.HLB to SYS$HELP: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL PAN PAN010.A This will add the PAN verb to your system and place appropriate files in your system directories. 3 3 3 If you do not have write access to SYS$SYSTEM, restore all files to a local directory and execute from there subsequently. You can define a symbol to invoke PAN thus: $ PAN =="$device:[directory]PAN" 1-2 1-2 1-2 Introducing PAN Introducing PAN Introducing PAN 1.2 Getting Started 1.2 Getting Started 1.2 Getting Started For example, if you copied the file PAN.EXE to MYDISK:[JONES.TOOLS], you would use this command: $ PAN =="$MYDISK:[JONES.TOOLS]PAN" PAN PAN PAN You are now ready to use . 1-3 1-3 1-3 _______________________________________________________ 2 Copying Mail to a Notes Conference 2 Copying Mail to a Notes Conference 2 Copying Mail to a Notes Conference __________________________________________________________________ 2.1 Using the COPY MAIL Command 2.1 Using the COPY MAIL Command 2.1 Using the COPY MAIL Command This chapter describes how to copy all the messages in one or more mail folders to a topic in a notes conference. To do this you use the COPY MAIL command. o select the mail folders whose messages you want to copy If you are unsure about the mail folders that exist, use the following command to list them: $ PAN DIRECTORY MAIL_FOLDERS {/DIR=mail-directory} o select the notes conference to which you want to copy these mail messages, and the destination topic in this conference If you are unsure about the topics that exist, use the following command to list them: $ PAN DIRECTORY CONFERENCE {note-range} {/CLASS=class} o show the author of the note as the sender of the mail messages to make it look like each note was entered by the user who sent the original mail message. PAN's Show Note command willshow the person who actually wrote the note. For each mail message, the COPY MAIL command creates a reply to the selected topic, then copies the mail message (including its header) to that reply. 2-1 2-1 2-1 Copying Mail to a Notes Conference Copying Mail to a Notes Conference Copying Mail to a Notes Conference 2.1 Using the COPY MAIL Command 2.1 Using the COPY MAIL Command 2.1 Using the COPY MAIL Command The format of the command COPY MAIL is: $ PAN COPY MAIL MAILFOLDER CONFERENCE {/[NO]NOTEBOOK[=]} {/TOPIC=n} {/NEWFOLDER=xx} {/SINGLE} {/BY_AUTHOR} {/TITLE} You may specify either an alternate notebook to the default by use of /NOTEBOOK= or none at all, in which case the file specification of the conference must be complete. You must be a Moderator of the conference that you are attempting to alter. For example, this command copies the messages in the mail folder MYFOLDER in the default mail directory to topic number 25 in the notes conference Conference_B, and moves the mail from the VMSMAIL folder MAILFOLDER to WASTEBASKET: $ PAN COPY MAIL myfolder Conference_B /TOPIC=25 /NEWFOLDER=wastebasket This example utilises the /SINGLE switch. This creates a new topic for each mail message. $ PAN COPY MAIL myfolder Conference_B /SINGLE This example utilises the /BY_AUTHOR switch. This creates a new topic per author of the mail messages in the MYFOLDER VMSMAIL folder. $ PAN COPY MAIL myfolder Conference_B /BY_AUTHOR This example utilises the /TOPIC switch. This causes the specified mail messages to be appended to topic 25 in the Conference_B conference. $ PAN COPY MAIL myfolder Conference_B /TOPIC=25 This example utilises the /TITLE switch. This causes the mail messages in the MYFOLDER VMSMAIL folder to be placed in a new topic entitled "PC Throughput rates" in the Conference_B conference. $ PAN COPY MAIL myfolder Conference_B /TITLE="PC Throughput rates" 2-2 2-2 2-2 _______________________________________________________ 3 Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences 3 Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences 3 Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences This chapter describes how to copy notes or keywords or both from one conference to another. __________________________________________________________________ 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command To copy notes from one conference to another, use the COPY NOTES command, the format of which is: $ PAN COPY NOTES conf1 {/[NO]NOTEBOOK[=]} conf2 {/[NO]NOTEBOOK[=]} {/CREATE} {/TOPIC=n} {/NEW} {/RANGE=nnn-pppp} {/SINCE=date} {/UNSEEN} {/SEEN} You may specify either an alternate notebook to the default by use of /NOTEBOOK= or none at all, in which case the file specification of the conference must be complete. You must be a Moderator of the conference that you are attempting to alter. This command allows you to: o select which notes to copy o select the destination conference o create the destination conference o show the author of the note as the sender of the mail messages to make it look like each note was entered by the user who entered the original note in the source conference. PAN's Show Note command will show the person who actually wrote the note. 3-1 3-1 3-1 Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command If the note in the source conference is hidden, an empty note is written to the target conference, unless you are a moderator of the source conference, when the target note is copied in full and is also hidden. Note: When copying a large number of notes, or over a Note: When copying a large number of notes, or over a Note: When copying a large number of notes, or over a slow network link, it is adviseable to run the COPY slow network link, it is adviseable to run the COPY slow network link, it is adviseable to run the COPY NOTES command in batch mode as it can take a long time NOTES command in batch mode as it can take a long time NOTES command in batch mode as it can take a long time to run. to run. to run. $ PAN COPY NOTES Conference_A Conference_B By default, the command copies all notes entered in the source conference since the COPY command was last used to access the target conference. You can use the /BEFORE and /AFTER qualifiers to specify a different time filter. For example, this command copies all notes entered Since 1 January 1990: $ PAN COPY NOTES /SINCE=1-JAN-1990 Conference_A Conference_B By default, the COPY command copies all notes entered during the specified period. To select particular notes only, use the /TOPIC qualifier: $ PAN COPY NOTES /TOPIC=32 Conference_A Conference_B Normally, the note id is retained when the note is copied. For example note 4.3 in the source conference is copied to note 4.3 in the target conference. When you use the /TOPIC qualifier to copy one topic, you can use the /NEW qualifier to specify the number of the new topic in the target conference. For example, this command copies topic 4 in Conference_ A to topic 10 in Conference_B: $ PAN COPY NOTES /TOPIC=4 /NEW=10 Conference_A Conference_B 3-2 3-2 3-2 Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command _____________________ 3.1.0.1 Creating the Destination Notes 3.1.0.1 Creating the Destination Notes 3.1.0.1 Creating the Destination Notes Conference Conference Conference You can use the /CREATE qualifier to create the destination notes conference. Unless you have an existing Notebook entry for the new conference, you should specify the /NONOTEBOOK qualifier for the target conference. For example, the following command creates the notes conference NOTES$LIBRARY:NEW_ PROJECT.NOTE with the creator as the sole member and moderator, and copies all the notes in Conference_B to it: $ PAN COPY NOTES - _$ Conference_B NOTES$LIBRARY:NEW_PROJECT.NOTE /NONOTEBOOK /CREATE Note: When the source conference is a members-only Note: When the source conference is a members-only Note: When the source conference is a members-only conference, the target conference is created as a conference, the target conference is created as a conference, the target conference is created as a members-only conference. members-only conference. members-only conference. ___________________________ 3.1.1 Using Original Authorship Information 3.1.1 Using Original Authorship Information 3.1.1 Using Original Authorship Information If a moderator has RMS READ/WRITE access to the target conference, the original author name is preserved in the copied notes. PAN's Show Note command will show the person who actually wrote the note. For example, this command creates a new conference, SHADOW, which is an exact replica of Conference_A: $ PAN COPY NOTES Conference_A SYS$LOGIN:SHADOW/NONOTEBOOK /CREATE ___________________________ 3.1.2 COPYing UNSEEN Notes 3.1.2 COPYing UNSEEN Notes 3.1.2 COPYing UNSEEN Notes If you are copying notes from a remote conference to a local conference on a regular basis, you may wish to copy all UNSEEN notes. This is achieved via the /UNSEEN qualifier. Further, you may wish these notes to be marked as SEEN in your notebook entry for the original conference. 3-3 3-3 3-3 Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences Copying Notes and Keywords Between Conferences 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command 3.1 Using the COPY NOTES Command For example, this command copies unseen notes from Conference_A to SHADOW, marking them as seen in the notebook entry for Conference_A: $ PAN COPY NOTES Conference_A SHADOW /UNSEEN /SEEN 3-4 3-4 3-4 _______________________________________________________ 4 Changing existing Notes 4 Changing existing Notes 4 Changing existing Notes __________________________________________________________________ 4.1 Using the SET NOTE/CONTENTS Command 4.1 Using the SET NOTE/CONTENTS Command 4.1 Using the SET NOTE/CONTENTS Command This chapter describes how to SET NOTE/CONTENTS the body of a note with the text in a file without changing the author, timestamp or seen/unseen status of the note. To do this, you use the SET NOTE/CONTENTS command: $ PAN SET NOTE/CONTENTS conference note-id filespec Note: To use the SET NOTE/CONTENTS command, you must Note: To use the SET NOTE/CONTENTS command, you must Note: To use the SET NOTE/CONTENTS command, you must be a moderator of the notes conference and you must be a moderator of the notes conference and you must be a moderator of the notes conference and you must have READ and WRITE access to the file that contains have READ and WRITE access to the file that contains have READ and WRITE access to the file that contains the conference. Normally this access is restricted to the conference. Normally this access is restricted to the conference. Normally this access is restricted to local conferences. local conferences. local conferences. The original inspiration for this command was the desire to "lowercase" notes that had been entered in capitals, without resetting the note to be "unseen" or changing the original author and timestamp. PAN's Show Note command will show the person who actually wrote the note. For example this command replaces note 4.7 with the contents of the file NEW_4.7_TEXT: $ PAN SET NOTE/CONTENTS FUBAR 4.7 NEW_4.7_TEXT If the note does not exist, you get an error message. 4-1 4-1 4-1 Changing existing Notes Changing existing Notes Changing existing Notes 4.2 Using the SET NOTE /HIDDEN Command 4.2 Using the SET NOTE /HIDDEN Command 4.2 Using the SET NOTE /HIDDEN Command __________________________________________________________________ 4.2 Using the SET NOTE /HIDDEN Command 4.2 Using the SET NOTE /HIDDEN Command 4.2 Using the SET NOTE /HIDDEN Command This section describes how to hide or reveal one or more notes from a notes conference. To do this, you use the SET NOTE/[NO]HIDDEN command: $ PAN SET NOTE/[NO]HIDDEN conference note-id {/NOCONFIRM} This command requires that you are the author of the note or a Moderator of the conference in which the note resides. For example this command sets note 1.0 hidden in the DECWINDOWS conference: $ PAN SET NOTE/HIDDEN DECWINDOWS 1.0 /NOCONFIRM __________________________________________________________________ 4.3 Using the SET NOTE/DATE Command 4.3 Using the SET NOTE/DATE Command 4.3 Using the SET NOTE/DATE Command This section describes how to change the datestamp of a specified note in a notes conference. To do this, you use the SET NOTE/DATE command: $ PAN SET NOTE/DATE conference note-id datestamp For example this command shows how to change the datestamp of note 1.0 in the DECWINDOWS conference to 1-Jan-1990:10:00:00.00 $ PAN SET NOTE/DATE DECWINDOWS 1.0 "01-JAN-1990:10:00:00.00" This command reuires that you are a Moderator of the affected conference and have RMS READ/WRITE access to the conference. This command is usually for use when a system has had its system clock mis-set and this has affected readers unseen maps. 4-2 4-2 4-2 Changing existing Notes Changing existing Notes Changing existing Notes 4.4 Using the SET NOTE/NOWRITE Command 4.4 Using the SET NOTE/NOWRITE Command 4.4 Using the SET NOTE/NOWRITE Command __________________________________________________________________ 4.4 Using the SET NOTE/NOWRITE Command 4.4 Using the SET NOTE/NOWRITE Command 4.4 Using the SET NOTE/NOWRITE Command This section describes how to writelock a specified topic in a notes conference. To do this, you use the SET NOTE/NOWRITE command: $ PAN SET NOTE/NOWRITE conference note-id For example this command shows how to writelock topic 1 in the DECWINDOWS conference. $ PAN SET NOTE/NOWRITE DECWINDOWS 1.0 The SET NOTE /WRITE command can be issued in the same manner to unlock the topic and allow replies. $ PAN SET NOTE/WRITE DECWINDOWS 1.0 /NOCONFIRM This command reuires that you are a Moderator of the affected conference and only applies to basenotes. __________________________________________________________________ 4.5 Using the DELETE NOTES Command 4.5 Using the DELETE NOTES Command 4.5 Using the DELETE NOTES Command This section describes how to delete one or more notes from a notes conference. To do this, you use the DELETE command: PAN DELETE NOTES /RANGE=(note-range[,...]) {/NOCONFIRM} conference Note: To use the DELETE command, you must be a Note: To use the DELETE command, you must be a Note: To use the DELETE command, you must be a moderator of the notes conference and you must have moderator of the notes conference and you must have moderator of the notes conference and you must have READ and WRITE access to the conference that contains READ and WRITE access to the conference that contains READ and WRITE access to the conference that contains the note. Normally this access is restricted to local the note. Normally this access is restricted to local the note. Normally this access is restricted to local conferences. conferences. conferences. note-range note-range note-range Each can be a topic number, a note id, or a range of topics or note ids, and can include the asterisk wildcard character. The parentheses surrounding the note ranges are optional if you supply only one note-range. For example this command deletes note 4.6 from the conference FUBAR: 4-3 4-3 4-3 Changing existing Notes Changing existing Notes Changing existing Notes 4.5 Using the DELETE NOTES Command 4.5 Using the DELETE NOTES Command 4.5 Using the DELETE NOTES Command $ PAN DELETE NOTES /RANGE=4.6 FUBAR By default, the DELETE command prompts for confirmation before deleting each note. You can use the /NOCONFIRM qualifier to delete notes without confirmation. The following command deletes notes 4.3 though 4.8 inclusive, all of the notes in topic 9, and all notes in topics 78 through 101 inclusive from the conference FUBAR. It prompts for confirmation before deleting each of these notes. $ PAN DELETE NOTES FUBAR /RANGE=(4.3-4.8, 9.*,78-101) 4-4 4-4 4-4 _______________________________________________________ 5 Altering Conferences 5 Altering Conferences 5 Altering Conferences __________________________________________________________________ 5.1 Altering a conference notice or title 5.1 Altering a conference notice or title 5.1 Altering a conference notice or title To change the conference title or notice, issue the SET CONFERENCE command, the format of which is: $ PAN SET Conference /[NO]NOTEBOOK[=] /TITLE="title string" /NOTICE="Notice String" You may specify either an alternate notebook to the default by use of /NOTEBOOK= or none at all, in which case the file specification of the conference must be complete. You must be a Moderator of the conference that you are attempting to alter. The following command changes the title and notice of the DECWINDOWS notes conference: $ PAN SET CONFERENCE DECWINDOWS/TITLE="NEW TITLE"/NOTICE="NEW NOTICE" __________________________________________________________________ 5.2 Altering the default moderator of a conference 5.2 Altering the default moderator of a conference 5.2 Altering the default moderator of a conference On occasions a System Manager or other designated employee with RMS READ/WRITE access to a conference may have to "break in" because for instance the last moderator has left the corporation. In the case the SET CONFERENCE/MODERATOR command will be extremely useful. The format is: 5-1 5-1 5-1 Altering Conferences Altering Conferences Altering Conferences 5.2 Altering the default moderator of a conference 5.2 Altering the default moderator of a conference 5.2 Altering the default moderator of a conference $ PAN SET Conference /Moderator=node::user /[NO]NOTEBOOK[=] You may specify either an alternate notebook to the default by use of /NOTEBOOK= or none at all, in which case the file specification of the conference must be complete. For example this command will set the default Moderator of the TEST notes conference to be FU::BAR. $ PAN SET CONFERENCE TEST/MODERATOR=FU::BAR cannot cannot cannot The SET CONFERENCE /MODERATOR command be used in conjunction with the SET CONFERENCE /NOTICE or /TITLE commands. 5-2 5-2 5-2 _______________________________________________________ 6 Mending Broken Conferences 6 Mending Broken Conferences 6 Mending Broken Conferences To repair a notes conference with irrecoverable bad blocks, use the COPY command with the /CREATE and /TOPIC qualifiers to create a new conference and copy all the notes you can see to the new conference. For example, if topic 70 is corrupted, copy topics 1-69 and topics 71-9999: $ PAN COPY BROKEN_CONF /TOPIC=1-69 NEW_CONF /NONOTEBOOK /CREATE $ PAN COPY BROKEN_CONF /TOPIC=71-9999 NEW_CONF /NONOTEBOOK 6-1 6-1 6-1 _______________________________________________________ 7 Creating Conferences 7 Creating Conferences 7 Creating Conferences To create a notes conference with PAN, use the CREATE command with the optional /TITLE, /NOTICE, /RESTRICTED and /INTRO_NOTE qualifiers to create a new conference, optionally setting the conference title and/or notice, and/or whether membership is to be restricted and/or a possible introduction note as topic 1. For example, this command creates a new conference, Conference_B with title "My Title", Notice "My Notice", restricts it to joined members (only the creator by default) and writes the introduction note from a file called intro.note, with a title of Introduction. $ PAN CREATE CONF SYS$LOGIN:Conference_B - _$ /TITLE="My Title" /NOTICE="My Notice" - _$ /INTRO_NOTE=(TITLE="Introduction",FILE=INTRO.NOTE) Note: When using the /INTRO_NOTE qualifier, both TITLE Note: When using the /INTRO_NOTE qualifier, both TITLE Note: When using the /INTRO_NOTE qualifier, both TITLE and FILE are mandatory. and FILE are mandatory. and FILE are mandatory. 7-1 7-1 7-1 _______________________________________________________ 8 Manipulating conference memberships 8 Manipulating conference memberships 8 Manipulating conference memberships To copy from one notes conference to another, with PAN, use the COPY MEMBERS command. For example, this command copies all members from CONF1 to CONF2: $ PAN COPY MEMBERS CONF1 CONF2 This command copies member ANDY from CONF1 to CONF2: $ PAN COPY MEMBERS CONF1 CONF2 ANDY To add a new member to a conference use the ADD MEMBER command. For example, this command adds FU::BAR as a member of conference SNAFU: $ PAN ADD MEMBER BAR /ACCESS=FU::BAR /MAIL_ADR=FU::BAR SNAFU This command adds FU::BAR as a Moderator of conference SNAFU: $ PAN ADD MEMBER BAR /ACCESS=FU::BAR /MAIL_ADR=FU::BAR SNAFU - _$ /MODERATOR To change the access of a member, use the SET MEMBER command. For example, this command changes the access of member BAR to being from node OPEN:: as well as FU::. $ PAN SET MEMBER BAR OPEN::BAR SNAFU 8-1 8-1 8-1 Manipulating conference memberships Manipulating conference memberships Manipulating conference memberships To replace the access list of a member, use the SET MEMBER /REPLACE command. For example, this command changes the access of member BAR to being from node OPEN:: instead of FU::. $ PAN SET MEMBER BAR OPEN::BAR SNAFU /REPLACE To delete a member, use the DELETE MEMBER command For example this command deletes the access of member BAR from the SNAFU conference: $ PAN DELETE MEMBER BAR SNAFU __________________________________________________________________ 8.1 Using files when manipulating memberships 8.1 Using files when manipulating memberships 8.1 Using files when manipulating memberships You may use the ADD MEMBER/FILE and the _________ ____ file_name conf SHOW MEMBER/OUTPUT= _________ ____ file_name conf commands to build distribution lists from conference memberships; also to utilise existing distribution lists to build conferemnce memberships. The record format utilised is: MAIL::ADDRESS ! {access list or node list or both} with qualifiers /moderator /Name = "member Name" @FILE_NAME[.dis] is also allowed, to allow cascading of distribution lists The command SHOW MEMBER/OUTPUT= _________ file_name writes the membership list into the filename given in a form directly usable by ADD MEMBER/FILE WORK2:[LESLIE]PAN.SDML; 8-2 8-2 8-2 Manipulating conference memberships Manipulating conference memberships Manipulating conference memberships 8.1 Using files when manipulating memberships 8.1 Using files when manipulating memberships 8.1 Using files when manipulating memberships $ PAN SHOW MEMBERS/OUT=L.1 Conference_A $ PAN SHOW MEMBERS/OUT=L.2 Conference_B $ CREATE L.ALL @L.1 #L.2 ^Z $ PAN ADD MEMBERS/FILE L.ALL Conference_C This will copy the membership list from Conference_ a to file L.1, the copy the membership list from Conference_B to file L.2. The CREATE command will create a conglomerate file that, when used with the PAN ADD MEMBERS/FILE command will add members from both conferences A and B to conference C. 8-3 8-3 8-3 _______________________________________________________ 9 Manipulating and updating Notebook entries 9 Manipulating and updating Notebook entries 9 Manipulating and updating Notebook entries __________________________________________________________________ 9.1 Adding an entry 9.1 Adding an entry 9.1 Adding an entry To create a notebook entry, use the ADD ENTRY command. $ PAN ADD ENTRY entryname {/FILENAME=node::conf} {/CLASS=class} For example, this command adds entry Work to class FUBAR with a filename of SNA::FU $ PAN ADD ENTRY "Work" /FILENAME=SNA::FU /CLASS=FUBAR __________________________________________________________________ 9.2 Deleting a notebook entry 9.2 Deleting a notebook entry 9.2 Deleting a notebook entry To delete a notebook entry, use the DELETE ENTRY command. $ PAN DELETE ENTRY entryname {/CLASS=class} For example, this command deletes entry Work from class FUBAR $ PAN DELETE ENTRY "Work" /CLASS=FUBAR __________________________________________________________________ 9.3 Modifying an Entry 9.3 Modifying an Entry 9.3 Modifying an Entry To modify a notebook entry, use the SET ENTRY command. $ PAN SET ENTRY entryname {/FILENAME=node::conf} {/NAME=name} {/CLASS=class} 9-1 9-1 9-1 Manipulating and updating Notebook entries Manipulating and updating Notebook entries Manipulating and updating Notebook entries 9.3 Modifying an Entry 9.3 Modifying an Entry 9.3 Modifying an Entry For example, this command moves entry Work to class BOHICA $ PAN Set ENTRY "Work" /CLASS=BOHICA This command modifies entry Work to be file MYNODE::WORK $ PAN Set ENTRY "Work" /FILENAME=MYNODE::WORK __________________________________________________________________ 9.4 Updating an Entry 9.4 Updating an Entry 9.4 Updating an Entry To update the unseen map associated with one or more notebook entries, use the UPDATE command. The format of the UPDATE command is $ PAN UPDATE {/CLASS=} {/ALL} Asterisks may be used in place of specific conference and class names. The /ALL switch controls whether an update is carried out for conferences whose unsee count is not zero in your notebook. For example, this command updates all entries that have zero unseen count in your notebook in class MAIN. $ PAN UPDATE * /CLASS=MAIN This command updates all entries regardless of the current unseen count, using the /ALL switch. $ PAN UPDATE * /CLASS=MAIN /ALL 9-2 9-2 9-2 _______________________________________________________ 10 Obtaining details of conferences and Notebook entries 10 Obtaining details of conferences and Notebook entries 10 Obtaining details of conferences and Notebook entries To list details of one or more notebook entries, use the DIR NOTEBOOK command. For example, this command lists all entries in class MAIN $ PAN DIRECTORY NOTEBOOK * /CLASS=MAIN To show details of a note's author when the note in question has been copied from another conference, inserted from mail or had its contents replaced (via PAN) use the SHOW CONFERENCE /RANGE command. $ PAN SHOW CONFERENCE FUBAR {/[NO]NOTEBOOK[=]} {/RANGE=note-id} {/NOSYMBOLS} You may specify either an alternate notebook to the default by use of /NOTEBOOK= or none at all, in which case the file specification of the conference must be complete. You must be a Moderator of the conference that you are attempting to alter. For example, this command will show details of note 1.0 in the FUBAR conference. $ PAN SHOW CONF FUBAR/RANGE=1.0 10-1 10-1 10-1 Obtaining details of conferences and Notebook entries Obtaining details of conferences and Notebook entries Obtaining details of conferences and Notebook entries Opening the notes conference Opening notebook entry FUBAR ..............
