    Log Message:
    Add GETDIM @-code to get the current ANSI terminal dimensions (rows and cols)This code will do nothing if there's no user logged-in or their terminal isnot ANSI or their terminal dimensions (rows and cols) are set to specificvalues (not auto-detected). This code does the same thing as calling JSconsole.getdimensions(). Since it waits (up to 5 seconds) for a CPR responsefrom the terminal, this does potentially slow down output, so caveat emptor.This could be used by a sysop to address issue #529.

    text.dat string IDs can now be used in/as @-codes, directly

    The TEXT:<x> @-code can now be used with the text.dat string ID rather than
    the text.dat string number, if preferred.

    For convenience and brevity, ALL text.dat string IDs are now valid @-codes (case-sensitive). While this functionality is redundant with the TEXT: @-code now, if there are any conflicts between new/existing @-codes and text.dat string IDs, the TEXT: @-code can be used to overcome such conflicts.

    This should help with localization (to other languages) by using common single-word replacements (Which, Quit, Next, etc.) in text.dat strings.

    - UTC:fmt

    Does this one here mean you can now do:

    Hello Digital,

    On Fri, Dec 20 2024 18:38:15 -0600, you wrote ..

    Does this one here mean you can now do:

    (at)UTC:%a, %b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z

    .. or something similar?

    Kind of. You can't have spaces in @-codes, so you'd need to use \x20
    in place of space. And you'd need a terminating (at).

    It's just like the TIME:fmt @-code, but instead of local time, it's
    UTC. https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes

    Thanks for the explanation!

    All relevant information is indeed on the wiki (thanks for that, too!), but your explanation here made it far easier for me to find it all on the wiki and put it together (I had to scroll from the top to the bottom to find all the pieces you mentioned in this message).

    Regards,
    Nick
