Hello Walter,
Basically when you want to modify a script file, hit Control+End to move to
the bottom of the script file, and type in a separating line between the
current scripts/functions within that particular file, and the scripts
you'll be adding to that particular file. Something like
; Walter's scripts start here.
Now, whenever you add a script, do so below this line, and when modifying an
existing script that is above that line, place a comment line to that effect
just below this line. It is a good idea to put your name in that separator
line, since it will give you a unique word to search for when adding those
comments.
So, for example, you are in Outlook Express, and you want to add the
ScriptTip, "GreetingHeader" to the Outlook script file, you would:
1) Hit Insert+0 to launch Script Manager with msoe.jss loaded.
2) If you have never added or modified any items within this particular
script, hit Control+End to reach the bottom of the file, and add the line:
; Walter's Outlook Express v5 scripts
Just below that line, add the GreetingHeader script by cutting and pasting
the relevant code.
If you've put that separator line in this particular script file in an
earlier modification/addition, then hit Control+F once you are in the
editor, and have the Find function locate "Walter's", and once you find that
location, place the script as mentioned above.
If you also want to modify the DeleteMessage, PreviousMessage, and
NextMessage, by adding a higher value to their delay functions, make the
modifications, and before leaving the script editor, search for the
"Walter's" line and just underneath that separator line, add a comment,
denoting the modifications.
; Walter's Outlook Express v5 Scripts
; Modified Delay time value in DeleteMessage & Next/Previous message
scripts.
; Pulls "from" info from header and places it in reply greeting.
Script GreetingHeader()
.
.
.
EndScript
Now you have a record of modifications, and a block of added scripts. You
can cut and paste these into JFW upgrades, , and make the necessary
modifications to the new set of scripts. It is indeed tedious, but, so far,
the only method I've come up with.
