Some Messages

Under the "File" menu, select "Get Messages...".  Doing so will open a dialog box that allows you to specify the message server, filter messages by content, and indicate whether to listen for live messages, or only to search through old messages.

...

Changing the message retrieval parameters: At the top of the message view are two text boxes.  The one on the left indicates the current filter and, and the one on the right indicates the time duration or the time range, depending on whether you selected to view live updates or just browse through old ones.  You can update these fields in the same manner as in the initial connection dialog box described above, in "Getting Some Messages".  When you modify a text box, the background will turn yellow to indicate that the modifications are unapplied.  You may either hit the enter key to apply the changes or the escape key to revert.  Note that you may modify both the filter and time specification.  Hitting the enter key in either box will apply the changes from both.

Copying messages to the clip board: You can copy messages to the system clipboard so that you can paste them into other applications such as text editors, spreadsheets, etc.  To select one message, just click on it in the viewer and select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu.  You can select all messages by using the corresponding menu entry.  To select multiple messages, select one message then hold the shift key and click on another message.  Doing this will cause all message in between to be selected in addition to the two endpoints.  To select non-contiguous messages, hold the control key while clicking on individual messages.

Saving to a file: You can save the contents of the message viewer to a text file by selecting "Save As..." from the "File" menu.

*Printing:*Select "Print..." from the "File" menu.

Clearing messages: You can clear all messages from the view by selecting "Clear Messages" from the "Edit" menu.  to delete specifi messages, select them as though you were going to copy them, then choose "Delete" from the "Edit" menu.
