  • /? not working in non-external editor

    From Amessyroom@VERT/TL-QWK to All on Wednesday, October 09, 2024 04:59:02
    Had a user indicate they could not figure out how to exit editor.

    Went to user configuration, and selected No for external editor.

    When trying to enter /? there was no response

    E-mail (User name or number): amr Just went to next line (tried to cut-n-paste capture but didn't work above).

    The /s command did work, but /? did not result in expected help menu.

    Maybe you were in raw I/O mode at the time?

    How would I determine this ? I was connected via SyncTerm I believe, if not it was ftelnet. I'll repeat the action i both.

    I enter text on first line , and /? on second line in either syncterm or ftelnet connected to my bbs. toolazy.synchro.net:2323 and it returns to next line without help displayed.
    I type /s on 3rd line and it saves message successfully.
