Subject: ICC Finger notes question

Author: Anthony Cozzie

Date: 20:10:09 01/29/05


Since I live in the wonderful world of unix, I have created two scripts to play
on ICC: zicclaunch and ziccstandalone.  One connects me to ICC; the other
connects me to ICC, sets Xboard to issue a seek as soon as the first game ends,
and looks for a game immediately.

I would like to add a line to my finger notes so that people know when I am
likely to be present or not.  This line would be set to something like
"Standalone mode - Operator is probably not there" or nothing at all.  The
question is: how do I zero a line?

For example, suppose I try the standard "set 7".  That will zero the line if it
was previously in standalone mode, but it will create an empty fingernote if it
was in manual mode before.  I've played around with it a bit, and I'm starting
to think that there is no sequence that will work.  Of course, I would be happy
to be proved wrong if anyone has tried something like this before.
