12TITLE           Create a new input mask
13
14OCCURRENCE      In all 'User mask' menus
15
16DESCRIPTION     Enter the name of the input mask you'd like to create.
17
18                Choose the correct item type for your mask.
19
20                Choose the scope of your mask.
21
22                       'Local' means the mask will only be visible
23                       to you (it gets saved in $ARB_PROP/inputMasks which defaults
24                       to ~/.arb_prop/inputMasks). See also LINK{arb_envar.hlp}.
25
26                       'Global' means the mask will be visible to all users (you
27                       need write permission in $ARBHOME/lib/inputMasks to create such a mask).
28
29NOTES           To delete masks delete the corresponding file in the inputMasks subdirectory.
30
31                New created masks will not appear in the 'User masks' menu, before you
32                restart ARB.
33
34                To provide an input mask to all users, copy it into $ARBHOME/lib/inputMasks
35
36EXAMPLES        None
37
38WARNINGS        When a mask was reloaded (or created), macro recording will not work properly.
39                You need to restart ARB before you can record/execute macros for modified masks.
40
41                Anyway, modifying a mask easily renders any macros recorded for that mask useless.
42
43BUGS            No bugs known
