From Stephen Walsh@39:901/280.5 to All on Thu Jul 20 11:52:36 2023
Hi Guys,
I've got a bbs/user chat arexx script that I'm needing some help with.
I don't know enough about arexx to make more changes than I already have.
The issue is with over typing while one user is trying in a message. Another message comes in and It makes things confusing as to where you are in your message, as it gets broken up.
For example in IRC or other chat systems, there is a dedicated user input
field that stays constant with what one user is typing.
Can arexx do something like that or is it more a fire off data and then continue type of thing? It needs to be able to send/receive at the same
time.
I'll provide links etc, for someone to have a look at it.
Thanks,
Stephen
