Since Sempoint is not a point program I will look elsewhere for assistance with it.
I miissed 3 emails today by assuming they will make it into my QWK packet. They didn't.
So I am in a QWK world now.

Sempoint is indeed a point program as well as QWK (and BW, I think) reader.
The point setup is different than QWK.

Is your email area turned on in your qwk setup?

Not a bad place to be at all. :)

Look for 2.26. It's the final version. It works with QWK
right out of the box.

I cannot find version 2.2.6.
May I trouble you for a link?

Found it here:
http://cd.textfiles.com/thebbsorg/ddsbbs/
semp226.zip
But I think that even that last version is too outdated (issues with MSGID/REPLY kludges, IIRC)

Hi All,
Does anyone use sempoint? I'm not understanding how the external
editors work.
Ahhhh! That would explain why I can't figure it out. :)
It's not a deal breaker for me as I can just configure the
areas for qwk/bwave into another reader if I wanted to.
I'm just too lazy to add them all manually to my
areas.bbs.
If you do find your notes I apreciate your hunting it down
for me, I don't have an archive for this area. :(
Did you check the context-sensitive HELP? Click on that and a
whole panel on the configuration pops up. The key is to pass
$TMP$ properly to your editor.
Click the Close button to save configuration and exit.
I have sempoint here too. I'll see if I can trigger notepad as
my editor or something.
Yes I've read it many times through. I have notepad
configured but.... how do I call it?

That would work.

True.. invoking it seems to be a mystery.
invoke any of the "configured" external programs. It's
probably a hidden hot-key sequence.
Personally, I found the internal editor quite nice and never
pursued anything further.
Maybe chatgpt can scour for the long lost info?
I'm glad you couldn't find it either. I really thought I was losing my mind.
It's fine. I want to run things through a spell checker and maybe use a normal tagline instead of the origin thing it does internally.

Well, How would it know? Someone would have had to feed the source code into it and if they did that why wouldn't they release it so we could look at it? I don't care if it won't compile, just want to know the magic. :)
To configure Sempoint 2.26 to use an external editor for writing or
editing messages, follow these steps:
Ensure that the editor path is correct and accessible from the
command line in your DOS environment.
EDITOR=C:\DOS\EDIT.COM %f
Replace %f with the variable Sempoint uses to represent the
message file. This can vary, so consult the documentation to confirm
if Sempoint supports %f or a similar placeholder.
Ensure youAEre not running into memory limitations if youAEre on
an older DOS environment.
I thought Sempoint's own Tagline feature was pretty good.
I don't like how it puts it in the origin line, and shortens it to like
50 characters.

To configure Sempoint 2.26 to use an external editor for writing or editing messages, follow these steps:
Select an Editor: First, make sure you have a text editor that can be launched from the command line, like EDIT.COM, EDIT.EXE, or any DOS-compatible editor of your choice.
Set Up the Editor in Sempoint:
Open your SEPOINT.CFG file (Sempoint's configuration file) in a text editor.
Look for a line that defines the editor setting, usually
something like EDITOR=.
Specify the path to the external editor. For example:
created in any of the temp or sempoint directoryThat was a good idea to watch for the creation of any new
structure.
temporary files.
As you mentioned in another msg, perhaps the external call was
a salient feature of a registered copy. But when the updated
ver 2.26 was simply released free, maybe the external call was
missed.
I found it!!!!!! I'm writing this message using TSE as
the editor from within Sempoint.
After you hit reply to the message. Right click the mouse and from there the external menu shows up! I just right clicked by accident and found
it and can say this is working.

Now that sounds familiar - that is, extra right-click for
hidden menus. Thx.
But it doesn't seem to work for me. It just stalls, and I have
to force a kill on the program to get out of that. I guess it
can't find the simple notepad.exe.
