Programming information

Instantiate: rarely
Subclass: rarely
Call its methods: never

Some telephone systems, especially some outside the United States, are not compatible with Magic Cap's e-mail service dialing. For these locations, Magic Cap defines the manual dial option in the phone setup panel. If Magic Cap is set for manual dial, a manual dial window appears when the user connects to the e-mail service. You'll probably never create an object or a subclass of this class.
