Sending a Broadcast Message
Any MCC user who is a member of a group that has the appropriate security permissions can send a
broadcast message to all other MCC users.
To send a broadcast message:
1.
Select the User – Broadcast Message menu option. The Broadcast Message
dialog box appears.
Figure 5. Broadcast Message Dialog Box
2.
Type the text of the message into the dialog box, and click Send to transmit
it.
ƒ The following shortcut keys are available: ^X (Cut), ^C (Copy), and ^V
(Paste). These keys may also be used to cut, copy, and paste text to and
from other MCC applications such as the Screen Editor.
ƒ The Enter key may be used to send the message instead of clicking Send.
ƒ To include a CRLF (carriage return-line feed) in the message text, enter
^J (Ctrl+J). If multiple lines of text are copied into the dialog box from
the Screen Editor, CRLF characters are retained – each CRLF is
displayed as a “V” over a “T”.
ƒ Message lines are centered in the dialog box. The length of message
visible is determined by the resolution of the user’s display. If a message
is sent which is longer than can be viewed on the receiving user’s
display, the message is centered in the dialog box, and characters may be
cut off the front and end – no scroll bars are provided.
3.
The sender sees a confirmation message containing “CONFIRMATION”
followed by the message text. Receiving users see a dialog box containing
“ATTENTION BROADCAST MESSAGE FROM ”, followed by
the message text, where is the name of the sender. In both cases,
select OK to close the message box.
Note: Broadcast messages are not sent to users of gwcharcons.
