ATnotes |
The Send To Window is opened through the Send To command in the Main Menu or Note Menu and allows to send a note to another computer in a local TCP/IP network.
You only can send notes to a computer where ATnotes is currently running. It is also necessary that this other computer accepts incoming notes and that it has the same port number, which can be defined in the Network section of the Settings.
Before you send a note you should enter your name in the Network section of the Settings into the field Name of sender. This makes it easier for the recipient to recognize the sender. Otherwise the recipient only gets the name of the sender's computer.
This area contains the recipients of the note. You can enter the computer name or IP address of the recipient into the edit field at the top. It is possible to append an alias name to the right of the computer name or IP address by separating the alias name with a blank character (everything to the right of the first blank character in the recipient is ignored). If the computer name contains blank characters, put it between double quotation marks. Separate multiple recipients with commas.
The Browse button opens a window to browse the network neighborhood for available computers.
You can save often used recipients in the list below with the Add button. The currently selected (not checked) list item can be deleted with the Delete button. To edit an existing list item left double click on it. Reorder list items with Move Up and Move Down. The Refresh button checks the online availability of the computers in the list: green means online, red means offline. In other words: the delivery of the note will only succeed for green marked computers.
This field contains the note text to be sent to the recipients. To insert a tab stop press CTRL+TAB (pressing TAB alone jumps out of the text field).
To send the text to the specified recipients press the OK button. If a note cannot be delivered to a recipient an error message will be displayed. Any recipients which haven't received the note are still active in the Computer name or IP address area. This allows to retry sending by pressing the OK button once again. Recipients which successfully received the note are deleted from this area to prevent a second delivery of the note.
