Mailing a Recording

  You can mail DECsound recordings using DECwindows Mail.
  In this lesson, you create a DECsound recording and mail it
  to yourself using DECwindows Mail, as follows:

  1.  If you are not currently running DECwindows Mail, start
      a session by choosing Mail from the Applications menu
      of the Session Manager or FileView, or by entering the
      following command:

      $  RUN  SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$MAIL

  2.  Click on the Create-Send button in the main DECwindows
      Mail window.

      DECwindows Mail opens a Create-Send window and
      opens a new DECsound window if you have specified
      DECsound as the default editor.

                                Note

      If you have not specified DECsound as the default
      mail editor, choose DECsound from the Change Editor
      menu in the Create-Send window.  This is described
      in the help topic calledSpecifying DECsound as

      the Default Editor    .

  3.  Enter your user name in the To:  text entry box and enter
      the words ``DECsound test message'' in the Subject:  text
      entry box of the Create-Send window.

  4.  Click on the new DECsound window and create the
      recording.

      When you have finished, click on the    Save  button in the
      new DECsound window to save the recording, then click
      on the Exit  button to remove the new DECsound window.

  5.  Click on Send in the Create-Send window.

      DECwindows Mail sends a mail message that contains
      the DECsound recording.  Your workstation emits a beep
      when DECwindows Mail delivers the message.

      DECwindows Mail window to see a list of your unread
      mail messages.
