		Short Cuts

The UCLink menu system allows you to define short cuts.
Short cuts have been predefined for several commonly used commands:

        f  "finger"
        g  UCLink Gopher
        n  Usenet news reader
        p  Pine mail system
        t  "talk"
        x  UNIX shell

For example, normally to access Pine you must first go to the Post
office menu, and then select Pine.  Using the "p" short cut, you can
access Pine directly by pressing "p" in any menu, bypassing "The post
office" menu.

You can go to a menu of the sort cuts by pressing "v" in any menu.

To define a short cut for the line the arrow is pointing to, press
"a".  For example, if you press "a" when the screen shows:

                       The post office

              1.  Use Pine to send and receive mail.
              2.  List messages in my "inbox".
         -->  3.  List most recent messages in my "inbox".
              4.  Mail forwarding and automatic replies (vacation)/
              5.  Managing mailing lists/
              6.  Use the BSD "mail" system/

then the menu system responds with:

        Defining short cut for:
             List most recent messages in my "inbox".
        Enter letter to represent it or ? for help:

Then you can either enter a letter to be associated with the short cut
or press Return to cancel defining the short cut.

Letters used by the menu system, e.g. "q" for quit, can not be used for
short cuts.  All other letters may be used.  Lower case and upper case
are treated separately; e.g. you can use "b" and "B" to designate
separate short cuts.

You are limited to a total of 15 short cuts.  You can delete a short
cut by pressing "v" to go to the short cut menu and pressing "d" at
the appropriate line.

You can even delete the predefined short cuts.  E.g., you may be used
to thing of "p" as "previous", which is what it means in Tin and Pine.
You may accidentally use "p" in the menu system when you want to go
to the previous line, but instead end up invoking Pine via the "p"
short cut.

If you do this often, you may want to delete the "p" shortcut and
define some other letter as a short cut for Pine.
