Definition of these signals is optional. When the number of shortcut signals given in

the e-Mailer Signal Block Definition window is 0, no such signals are defined.

Accomplishes exactly the same as if the following signals had been sent:

NewMail

LookupMsg Using n, the shortcut number, as the lookup parameter

SendNow

The number of Shortcut signals defined in the XSIG is specified in the e-Mailer

signal block definition. The number of signals which may be defined can vary from

0 (no text substitution signals at all) to any value — limited only by practical

considerations. (See “Appendix D: System limitations” on page 107 for a

discussion of these limits.)

The number of Shortcut signals defined should be set to 16 to accommodate all

sixteen possible signals which may be issued from the Send e-Mail SIMPL

symbol. If necessary, the list may be extended by increasing the setting on the

server side and adding an External Communications w/offset (XSIG2) symbol to

accommodate the additional signals. The offset should be calculated directly follow

Shortcut16 in the XSIG signal space. Alternatively, replace the Send Mail symbol

with a custom built XSIG.

A Shortcut signal has the special ability to “auto-enable” the e-mailer signal block

for the duration of the signal. (If it was already enabled when the Shortcut signal

was issued, it remains enabled after the signal is processed; otherwise it is

disabled.)

The Done pulse should be used to de-highlight the touchscreen button that

originated the Shortcut signal. Keeping the screen button highlighted while the

server is busy keeps the user better informed and encourages his patience.
