Introduction
The user can direct Qedit to call “interface” procedures to customize certain aspects of Qedit. Interface “hooks” are available for initiation (“Init”) and termination of Qedit (“Exit”); for processing command input (“Com”); for examining new lines (“Add”) entered via the Add command; and for intercepting all Modify operations (see below). You activate the interface procedures via a special command in the Qeditmgr file:
interface add,com,exit interfaceg add,com,exit {searches sl.logongroup} interfacep add,com,exit {searches sl.pub.logon}
Interface causes the “Init” procedure to be called, and “Add”, “Com” and “Exit” select which interfaces to activate (any or all). If different options are desired for different users, the Interface command can also be invoked through a usefile. These procedures are loaded dynamically from the System SL by default. In order to load from the logon account SL, use INTERFACEP; and from the logon group SL, use INTERFACEG. There is another faster way to activate interface procedures, described below under Alternate Activation.
