SUMMARY

The Operator program (OPERATOR.EXE) looks in the GLB directory of the Microsoft Mail database for a text file named OPERATOR.GLB. The OPERATOR.GLB file contains a list of action items you will be able to choose from the Action field in Operator.

Action items should be separated by hard carriage returns.

For example, create a text file with the following information:

Telephoned
Returned your call
Please call
Will call again
Wants to see you
Left package

The list of action items will be sorted when it is viewed from within the Operator program. This feature is not explained in the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks documentation.
