Hi Jorg,
You're right.  There is a lot of stuff going on in the mailing lists.  If
there is interest, since we have this gateway to Fido now, I should be able
to gate the messages from our InterNet lists onto the FidoEcho.
Actually, joining / leaving / etc with the mailing lists is a lot easier
than the way it used to be...  Here's a quickie message I put together
yesterday about the current system that's in place
                         Mailing Lists at SemWare:
                  A Short Summary of Available Facilities
In the past several months, we have made several modifications to the
mailing list systems here at SemWare, and have hopefully improved the
accessibility of the lists for making changes.
First, we have a MailBot set up to make it easy for your to modify your
configuration.  By sending a message to one of the available addresses you
can modify your configuration for a mailing list.  The following addresses
are available:
    tsepro-request@semware.com      TSE-Pro Mailing List
    tsejr-request@semware.com       TSE Jr. Mailing List
To get a list of the available commands, send a message to one of the
addresses above, with the word HELP in the body of your message.  (Note:
the
options available in the mailing list processor work with *both* addresses,
so you only need one list of the commands.)
Second, we have added a form to our Web Site that allows you to:
    - Subscribe yourself to a list
    - Unsubscribe from a list
    - Get MailBot command list
To get to this form, goto http://www.semware.com and select the "Mailing
List" link.
Finally, if you are having any other problems with the mailing, you can get
help support from us directly by sending a message to
administrator@semware.com and we will do our best to help you.

Hi Jack,
Your concerns about indeting/un-indenting with TSE are unfounded.  We have
a feature where any block that you mark can be indented / un-indented in
any manner you desire.  We call this feature Shift Block, in the standard
TSE User Interface, this is assigned to <Shift F7> and <Shift F8> keys.
You are right in that we are missing undo/redo.  It's a feature that is
high on our list, though.
Right now, we are working on new syntax highlighting code to replace the
Colors macro.
As for the "memory", all of our prompts have had a history feature for
quite while now, and also allow you to preserve the history accross editing
sessions.
We're sorry to hear that you don't like the demo. version of the editor.
 We had quite a few requests from customers that wanted to try out the
editor before they actually purchased it, so we put the demo version
together.  It really seems to have been quite popular thus far.
We make no bones about it's availability.  It is not a shareware version
like TSE Jr.  We felt that we needed to make it available as other
companies are making demonstration versions of the their products available
for customers to try out.
Thanks for your feedback!

 I've been using TSE/32 on my Win95 PC and consistently have problems
 printing from within TSE.  When I print, the counter counts up to 13%

Write your reply.

assistant: From: Jimmy <mennjijo@transend.com.tw>
Dear Folks at SemWare,
or anyone who has a clue:
Due to my advancing age, and the resulting poor eyesight, I require a
larger screen font than those that are available on the standard W95 DOS
box selection. My preference on the other GUI word processors that W95
supports is 12 point Courier New.
So...
         Can anyone point me toward a solution that will let TSE Pro/2.6
         use the 12 point Courier New font?
I've made half-a-dozen unsuccessful, and a couple of real disastrous(!),
attempts at trying to get this to happen. Any help at all would be much
appreciated.
Oh, and for you 'Who needs a GUI version', my 2 cents is that when TSE Pro,
w/full GUI interface, comes out for W95, the payment for my upgrade will
be in the mail 5 minutes after discovering the news.
Thanks any and all,
Jimmy

Hi Otavio,
You will have to give me a little more of an example, here...  There are
cases where you can use some SAL code to get an affect similar to TSE Jr.'s
pause command, but there are some cases where you won't be able to.  Here's
a little snippit of SAL code you can use in a macro to get a pause affect:
proc mPause()
	message("Press a key to continue")
	GetKey()

Looks like you're okay so far...

I belive I may have found a bug in Find() when going across multiple
files. In order to see this bug do the following:
1. Create 3 files (e32 f1 f2 f3).
2. Enter the word "hello" in each file.
3. Now do a find on "ll". Specify "ga" as the find options.
4. Once it finds the first one, keep doing RepeatFind()
   (Find/Again).
Notice how it keeps cycling thru all the files. IMHO, I find this to
be a bug. Once it gets back to the first file, shouldn't it display a
message that it can't find anymore? Am I whacked or what?
Thnx,
Chris

Does anyone know of a way (it will probably have to be internal) to have

It would be very helpful to have a function that can look at some kind of
symbol table and see that my Shift-9 is bound to mCommentBlock().
If not, please add it to the 1000 other suggestions for a new version

Each find is conducted independently. Each repeat find is also

finds.

assistant: From: "Carlo Hogeveen" <0hogeveen01@flnet.nl>
There is a bug allright, but an other one than described :-)
A repeatfind() repeats the previous find() without the "g" option
(if it was specified).
Therefore after a find() in a line or block or file
with option "c" or "l" or "" the repeatfind() stops
at the end of the line or block or file.
Most people tend to agree upon where the end of a line or block
or file is located (and stays located!).
However the "a" option tells TSE to search in the ring of files.
Where is the end of a ring?
The "real" bug is, that find() option "ga" starts searching
from the begin of the current file, as if that is the
begin of the ring!
It would be shocking, if it wasn't so handy :-)

I'm posting this here although I guess this question has

I'm from Brazil and we use a lot of accented characters
down here; I notice that when you cut a chunk of text from
a gui app (ex: Notepad) and paste it into TSE some special
kind of conversion takes place on accented characters;
if, on the other hand, you save the file in NotePad and open
it with TSE the characters are NOT converted;
- does anyone know who is performing this conversion?
- is there a way to disable it?
- better yet: is there a way to make TSE use the same
  character set windows uses?
