    Hello Warpslide!

    CTRL A and CTRL U only seem to work while I'm reading messages, not
    when I'm composing.

    CTRL U needs to be done before starting to write a message.

    Yes, you are right. But I get that option only while in echo areas. When I'm composing a netmail I haven't got that option.

    Thank you for you help.

    What settings should be changed to add another FTN to
    GoldedPlus?

    The "ADDRESS" keyword can be used multiple times to specify all
    of your node numbers:

    ADDRESS 4:900/733
    ADDRESS <othernet address>

    Once you have your addresses specified you can also press CTRL A to
    choose the address you'd like to use. You can also press CTRL U to
    switch between different names (alias vs real name for example).

    Sorry I was mistaken, before composing a netmail you can do CTRL-A and then when you create it, it uses the option previously selected.

    That's weird, it works on mine:

    https://ibb.co/MxSckwYv

    In my golded.cfg I'm pointing to my two hpt area files:

    AREAFILE Fidoconfig /home/ubuntu/fido/etc/config
    AREAFILE Fidoconfig /home/ubuntu/fido/etc/areas

    and my netmail area looks like this in my hpt config:

    netmailarea NETMAIL /home/ubuntu/fido/msgbase/netmail -b jam


    CTRL A and CTRL U only seem to work while I'm reading messages, not when I'm composing.
