NAME
tkeditpr - X Window editor for GNATS problem reports

SYNOPSIS
tkeditpr PR_ID

DESCRIPTION
tkeditpr is an X Window interface for editing GNATS problem reports with. It is very similar to edit-pr.

USER INTERFACE NOTES
The Text: section

    All multi-line text fields for a problem report are accessed from a single text widget at the bottom of the tkeditpr window. To edit a particular field pull down the Text: menubutton located above the text widget and select the field you wish to view/edit. The Text: menu button contains the name of the current field being edited.

    The Text:-->Journal text field
        The Text:-->Journal text field is not a standard GNATS field. It's meant for writing time stamped entries into. If the journal field is modified, then when the PR is filed a stamp of the form.

            %date%logname%fullname%

        is placed at the end of the field.

        The existence is Journal field is questionable since you can just type things into the Audit-Trail field. It was requested here at GTE though, so that's why it's present. It's advantage is that an individual can type entries attributed to them into the Journal even if they are not the Responsible person readers can tell who wrote the text and when.
    The action bar

        The action bar has two buttons Cancel and File.

        The File button files the report with any changes made to it back into the GNATS database. If the State or Responsible were changed. the mail items will be sent to the PR originator and to both the old and new Responsible individuals. These changes are also logged into the Audit-Trail field of the PR.

        The Cancel button simply cancels the current PR editing session.
