Greetings...

Using OpenXP for a few months now... Learn something new everytime I use
it. Curious about a couple things... Can it be used for viewing messgaes
with ansi color and if it does, how do I configure it to do so?

The 2nd question... Is there a way to redraw the screen without stopiing
and restarting the app?

Thx,

I've been using it for 20 years and used its predecessor(CrossPoint)
for 6 years before that and I still occasionally find stuff that I've
never seen before ;-)

messgaes with ansi color and if it does, how do I configure it to
do so?

Sorry but I can't answer either of your questions, so I've passed them
on to the developer for you. Stay tooooooooned :)

That would be a nice feature. But I wonder how those color controls might conflict or influence the established rules that I want for standard messages?

Why do you need that? ;) Are you getting some tearing issues? <bwg>

Here's his reply to your first question .....

"No, sorry.
Personally, I have never heard of messages with ansi color."

Here's his reply to your second question .....
---------- 8< ----------
"OpenXP is a commandline software running under Windows or Linux OS.
The OS is responsible for screen redraw if the commandline window
containing the OpenXP session is brought to front."

Hope that helps.
