Issue/Introduction

Description:

Application news is a line of text that replaces an application's description on the TPX menu.

Solution:

The TPX MAIL facility allows you to send application news for a specific application.

Application news consists of a line of text that replaces an application's description on the TPX menu. If the news is greater than one line in length, the rest of the message appears in the mailbox of any users who have that application on their TPX menu.

Application News is only available via the TPX MAIL Menu, option 15:
