If you ordinarily work only in Microsoft Windows and do not need Net-
popup functionality in the MS-DOS environment, you can replace Win-
popup with the smaller Minipop utility to save memory.
To replace Winpopup with Minipop
1 Exit the Windows operating system.
2 From your LAN Manager root directory, type setup.
3 From the Configuration menu, choose Workstation settings.
4 Make sure Yes is selected under Messaging Services, and then choose the OK
button.
5 In the Support for the Windows Environment dialog box, Yes should be selected.
6 In the Messaging Popups dialog box, change the selection to Only while the Win-
dows environment is running.
7 In the Configuration Complete dialog box, choose the Save button.
Your changes will take effect the next time you start the Workstation service.
Reading Your Message Log
The message log is a file that stores a workstation’s messages.
When a workstation receives messages for more than one user or alias, all
the messages are stored in the same message log.
To read your message log
1 From the Message menu, choose Read message log file.
The Contents of Current Message Log dialog box appears.
Scroll through the list box to read your messages.
2 To delete the contents of the current message log from the message log file,
choose the Clear log button.
3 When prompted for confirmation, choose the OK button.
4 Choose the Done button.
