Kevin, HI!
    It's great to see a few messages in QEdit again!. With such a 'perfect'
program and girls wearing their winter heavies, guys sitting around the hot
pot-bellied nodelist don't have much to talk about :}
Anyway, one of the latest projects I have in mind is to write a macro for
both QEdit and TSE which will automatically load a dozen or so bookmarks into
a spcific type of file. I have a form text which I use for a small utility I
wrote for Proboard which is almost 900 columns wide! and I need to jump to
several locations instantaneously while editing it.
I guess one approach would be to save keystrokes to a text file macro.
Oh, well. Glad to see life in the old house!
See you.

 feature for people who use the editor for writing/editing
 program code. You can disable it on demand from the "menu bar"
 under "other", "Set enter matching off". If you don't generally
 want it use QCONFIG to turn it off by default in your copy of
