Update of /cvsroot/netrek/client/netrekxp/resources/docs
In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv9198/resources/docs
Modified Files:
changes.txt netrekrc_options.txt netrekxp.doc
Log Message:
Fixed some inconsistencies in how a few RCDs were named - "taking" renamed to "take",
"generic" renamed to "help", "help3 and help4" renamed to "help1 and help2", and
"doing3 and doing4" renamed to "doing1 and doing2"
Added "saveWindow: (on)/off" and "saveBeeplite: (on)/off" to allow saving of window placments
and beeplite macros to the netrek.sav file.
Save options now can save windows placements, review window .allow settings, and beeplite
macros
Changed some default window sizes/locations that were either too small (i.e. help window)
or in a bad spot (i.e. planet window)
Fixed a bunch of spacing inconsistencies
Added/modified a few checkmapped calls in newwin.c to either use the "newish" checkmappedpref
function, or to add a checkmapped check if I felt it should be checked
