these worked find up until we changed out our vpn routers, new default gateway,. i don't understand why it is trying to transfer anything via ftp and have tried the TXFF_RAWBUF option. the text should all be in memory

T'OPCODE = 1 ! Create new control
T'FLAGS = 0
T'FLAGS = T'FLAGS + TXF_WRAP ! Word Wrap
T'FLAGS = T'FLAGS + TXF_FITVIEW ! Word Wrap based on width
T'FLAGS = T'FLAGS + TXF_EOT
! T'FLAGS = T'FLAGS + TXF_TOOLBAR ! Display Toolbar
! TXC'TOOLBARMASK = 65536 ! No 2nd line of toolbar
TXC'DOCFMT'SRC = TXFF_STRING ! Source is text
TXC'DOCFMT'DST = TXFF_STRING ! Destination is text
1490 TXC'WRAPWIDTH = 0 ! [103] (use ruler width)
1500 TXC'MAXBYTES = 0 ! [103] (unlimited; will be tr
SROW = 6 : SCOL = 2 : EROW = 22 : ECOL = 78
xcall XTEXT,T'OPCODE,T'FLAGS,EM'COMMENT,EM'COMMENT,SROW,SCOL,EROW,ECOL,T'EXITC

thanks

If the FTP problem surfaced when you changed routers, it's possible that the router is either blocking FTP entirely, or doesn't like the FTPDLX version of the protocol. That's one reason we switched in 6.5.1676.3 (on the server side) to use FTP2 instead.

That doesn't answer the question of why it's doing a file transfer at all. It will use file transfer to return the updated buffer, but only if you don't specify the TXFF_RAWBUF option in the TXC'DOCFMT'DST field. (It's not clear from your description whether you tried the flag on the TXC'DOCFMT'SRC or 'DST.)

It would probably be helpful if you activated the trace window with the ATE trace turned on. One the first messages on exit from editing mode starts with rcv: rtype=? where ? should be a numeric digit -- 0 for the raw text transfer mode, otherwise it uses the file transfer mode.

misunderstood the documentation on txff_rawbuf thought it was suppose to go on the txc'docfmt'src not the txc'docfmt'dst. now works with it set on txc'docfmt'dst. thanks as for ftp , only xtext is having the problem, i use the extented tab (-10,22) else wheres with no problem

thanks again
