389.0. "Please hide Hints and Spoilers" by WILARD::STEWART (Bill Stewart (Sung Sang Nim)) Fri Jan 05 1990 11:45

Mr. Moderator,

	I hope you don't mind me putting this in here.



	Please hide hints and spoilers after a form feed.  Some of us are 
trying to get through the games on our own, but like to reed the notes 
file.  It is very upsetting to find spoilers and hints at the beginning of 
the note.

	To hide a spoiler or a hint just hold down the ctrl key and hit the 
l key.  Then

	This is what you get.  SO

	Please use form feeds to hide hints and/or spoilers.

    ctrl doesn't work on my PC for some reason. Is there another way
    to form feed other than hitting the <cr> key 20 times?
    When I do it it says
    
    Key CTRL_L_KEY currently has no definition.

389.220 <CR>'s is what I preferACESPS::WALTONJoin the Panther Moderns.Fri Jan 05 1990 15:047
      I use DECwindows Notes and it ignores <FF>'s when I'm reading notes.

      I prefer to see a bunch of blank lines to separate spoilers.  Actually,
      just a few blanks are enough.  I just don't read the spoiler even 
      though its on the screen.

    You can *ALWAYS* enter a formfeed through character cell VAXNotes at
    any time by entering the command "TPU copy_text (ascii (12))".  
    
    As far as <CR>'s vs formfeeds:  I *don't* use the DECWindows Notes
    (since it's not layered on VAXTPU), and I use the CCT Notes on a
    48 line DECTerm.  Thus, 20 <CR>'s isn't enough by half.
