Appendix E. Laurel 6 vs. Laurel 5.1103Appendix E. Laurel 6 vs. Laurel 5.1 and LaurelXThe facilities available in Laurel 5.1 and LaurelX have been merged in Laurel 6. Where featuresof those two systems were in conflict, there is usually a profile option in Laurel 6 that choosesbetween them. Laurel 6 also has a significant number of changes and improvements over Laurel5.1 and LaurelX. This appendix lists the most important of these changes.Profile optionsSeveral Laurel profile options are no longer supported in their former ways. The profile optionsAuthenticate:, Herald:, HeraldFont:, Logo:, LogoFont:, Poll:, and DisplayErrorPups: are nolonger recognized by Laurel. The Authenticate: option has been subsumed by the Registry: entryin your profile. The other entries that deal with hardcopy options are subsumed by the moregeneral hardcopy forms (Appendix C).The Laurel profile error reporting mechanism catches these entries and gives you the explanation:The profile field x is no longer supported.where x is one of the above mentioned profile fields.Message transport systemGrapevine is replacing the older MTP message transport implementation. If your registry isserved by Grapevine, your password must be understood by that system. If you are in such aregistry, and your name and password are not acceptable to Laurel, then you should contact anadministrator for your registry to correct the password held for you by Grapevine.The administration of public distribution lists in Grapevine registries is much more flexible thanin registries servd by MTP (IFS's). Consult Appendix B, Maintain, for further details. Due tothe change in the way distribution lists are stored, the results of a Get on a public distribution listmay be slightly different than in the past.The Laurel user interfaceThe arrangement of screen commands has been altered slightly from previous versions of Laurel.The Delete command has been moved next to the Display command, with the Hardcopycommand now placed at the right margin. The {brackets} for several commands, e.g., for Getand Put, are now located on a second menu line that only becomes visible when you need it.Just invoke these commands in the normal way; their {brackets} will appear automatically.The Hardcopy command now displays a property sheet with several settable parameters available.Try it, you'll like it.You can make discontiguous selections in the table-of-contents region. See section 2.3.1 fordetails.fpX$Ef g^q/ gZCp*6 gXxH gVD gTJ gPWr gLpQ gKC gIPK gG#9 gE$ gBIL]?rp g= rp. g8r g5pE g3CI g1yK g/R g,<)9 g*rN g((sp g&+ g"Pr gpS gsp$sps gIp,spsp!s g~psp,' g4spsp gBsp F gw gK g ; g =[ LAUREL MANUAL104Facilities for filling in {brackets} have been expanded considerably. See section 2.1.3. for details.Continuous scrolling now occurs when you hold a mouse button down continuously in the scrollbar. Various parameters that change the timing behavior of continuous scrolling are settable inyour Laurel profile.A new kind of selection, shifted selection, is an alternative to type-in whether you use the old-style modal editor or the newer modeless editor. See section 4.3.2 for details.New screen commands, Copy and Run, are available. Copy provides FTP-like services; Runallows you to run various programs while still in Laurel. These commands are described alongwith all the Laurel screen commands in section 3.The Laurel editorThe Laurel editor now comes in two flavors, modal and modeless. The modal editor is similar tothe editor in Laurel 5.1; the modeless editor is similar to the one in LaurelX. A large number ofnew editor commands are available in either editor. See section 4 for details.If you used Laurel 5.1 previouslyThe default settings for profile options are set to emulate the behavior of Laurel 5.1. Thus,Laurel 6 is upward compatible with Laurel 5.1. However, a substantial amount of functionalityhas been added to Laurel 6 that was prevously available in LaurelX only. You may wish tochange some of your option settings or take advantage of additional facilities, so read on.If you used LaurelX previouslyThe editor in LaurelX has become the Laurel 6 modeless editor. You will want to set the Editor:modeless option in your Laurel profile to enable the modeless editor. The Laurel 6 modelesseditor does expand the functionality of the LaurelX editor considerably. See section 4 for details.Laurel 6 will print on a HyType printer. You will need to put appropriate hardcopy forms inyour Laurel profile to use the HyType properly.To get the LaurelX style prompts in the feedback region, use the ErrorKeys: LaurelX option inthe Laurel profile.The Editor command of LaurelX, with its fast swapping to BravoX is gone. The only way toreturn to BravoX (or any other stand-alone program for that matter) is to quit from Laurel 6 andenter the other program normally through the Alto Executive.Support for LaurelX is terminated. Laurel 6 is its supported replacement.$fptpXt gfp g_spsp!! g[A gYF gX gTa gRP gO`spspsps gMp1, gK1 gG?r gCp U gBb g@7O g;r! g89p S g6oA g4A g2#8 g.Mr g*p@ g)Q g'F'= g#(4 g" / g8% g g[sp5 g;% g< gTJ  g
