 1. Introduction
 =============

  

  1.0 General
  ---------------

   MM_SendFile is a Utility for Mail Manager by Pino Aliberti, to
   send files without typing a message manually each time. This peace of
   software is (C) by Ulrich Lammers.

   The files containing this archive are freely distributable. Feel free to
   copy MM_SendFile,as long as all files containing this archive are
   unchanged. But as a genaral rule, no profit must be made by distributing
   "MM_SendFile", i.e. you may charge fees for copying, disks, etc., but
   no money must be charged for the software itself!


   MM_SendFile is mailware :-). This means, if you use it over a period >30
   days, please send me a short message. (Bug reports and enhancement
   request are also welcome! :) ) Remember: It´s hard to create programs if you
   don´t get any response about it´s usabilty...

   You may use this script for free as long as you accept these few
   conditions!


   1.1 How to register
  -------------------

   If you use this programm over a period >30 days, you should register!
   You won´t have to pay for it! (But it would be nice if you....:) )

   Registration is VERY easy:

        - make sure, MailManager is running
        - open a shell and type: rx <path-to-MM_Sendfile>/Reg_Sendfile.Rexx

   If your mail is received by my system, I will create your personal
   keyfile. You can request it from my system (Nodenomber below).
   The key will only work on *YOUR* machine! So don`t spread it...

   If you got your key, just copy it to MM:CONFIG/MM_SENDFILE/MM-SENDFILE.KEY

   (It´s easy, isn´t it?)


==============================================================================
   THE PROGRAMM IS RELEASED "AS IS"! I WOLL NOT TAKE ANY WARRANTY FOR ANY
                       DAMAGEDS CAUSED BY MM_SENDFILE !
==============================================================================


  1.2 About
  ---------

   This is my second (published) ARexx-script for the MailManager.
   Certainly there are a few things to optimize or to improve, but this
   version works well!

 ===========

  MM_SendFile...

     ... send files without forcing you to write a message manually

     ... handles entries of MM.Userlist or asks you for a manual enter

     ... supports userlists created by "MM_UserEdit" (© 1996 Robert Hofmann)

     ... optionally copy the selected file in to seperate drawer and
         deletes it after sending

 4. Usage
 ========

  [RX] MM_SendFile[.rexx]

  As you can see, there is a second file included called "MM_SendFile".
  This is a executable file created with "CompressRexx2.1 © by Robert
  Hofmann". But MM_SendFile still requires RexxMast for operation!




 5. Configuration

  [MM:Config/MM_Sendfile/]

  MM_SendFile reads out all parameters from an external configfile called
  "MM:CONFIG/MM_SENDFILE/MM_SENDFILE.CFG" (The file MUST be placed there!)

  Read the paramter list below BEFORE editing the configfile:
