NEW: Adding an Auto Put Away Transport Preference (5/14/97)
- Q: How do I add a transport preference to control whether received items are automatically put away?
A: For the item to be automatically put away, two conditions must exist. First, the application to which the item is put away must implement the AutoPutAway method. Second, the transport configuration slot 'dontAutoPutAway must be set to nil (or not be present). This configuration slot is new to Newton 2.1 OS and must contain the value nil or the value 'never. If nil, items will be put away automatically provided the application defined by the item's appSymbol slot has the AutoPutAway method. If 'never, items will not be automatically put away regardless of whether the application defined by the item's appSymbol slot implements the AutoPutaway method.
This new configuration preference is only used on Newton 2.1 OS and higher.
