PC DOS: Creating Action Field Items for the Operator Program

Last reviewed: September 29, 1994
Article ID: Q71697

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation, versions 2.1e, 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.20a

The Operator program (OPERATOR.EXE) looks in the GLB directory of the Microsoft Mail database for a text file named OPERATOR.GLB. The OPERATOR.GLB file contains a list of action items you will be able to choose from the Action field in Operator.

Action items should be separated by hard carriage returns.

For example, create a text file with the following information:

   Telephoned
   Returned your call
   Please call
   Will call again
   Wants to see you
   Left package

The list of action items will be sorted when it is viewed from within the Operator program. This feature is not explained in the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks documentation.
