Con-nect Broadcast Message

The Broadcast Message is a means to make information of general interest and major importance available to all Con-nect users. The message is displayed each time a user logs on to Con-nect. (The user proceeds to the main menu of Con-nect by pressing ENTER.)

Note:
Only supervisors and system administrators can generate broadcast messages.

Mark the Broadcast Message function on the "Administration - Main Menu" with any character and press ENTER; or press the PF-key assigned to this function.

The following options are available:

0	all users receive the Con-nect welcome banner when they logon.
1	all users receive the broadcast message when they logon.
2	all users receive the main menu of Con-nect when they logon (this is the menu which has been defined in the user profile).

The welcome banner and the broadcast message are not displayed if the user:

logs on to Con-nect with a command as a parameter, or
returns to Con-nect after performing an application or issuing the LOGON command.

You may enter any text you want for the broadcast message, however, the message cannot exceed 16 lines.

The following line commands can be used:

,D	delete a line
,C	copy a line
,W	insert an empty line.

To highlight a sequence of characters, delimit them with !! on the left and with >> on the right side, for example:

!!Broadcast Message>>
