Write your reply.

assistant: it actually is something that happens several times during the development of
new versions. I have done this numerous times during the beta-cycle of tse
v2.00 --> 2.50(a).
What I do is this :
I keep the previous ui fies and rename them accordingly. e.g. tse249l.ui and
tse249l.cfg for instance. Then I do a diff between the files and that is the
part I'm using to reconstruct the custom file.
other entry-points are the whatsnew files and the ref.chg file.
I know it's somewhat painful to do it every time.

assistant: Greetings All,
     Now that my TSE/Jr is Registered, I don't feel so bad about asking
a question or two, so...
     If one (or more) of the resident Gurus here wouldn't mind, I'd
appreciate a suggestion or two (or more).
     Typically, I do not use a blank line between my paragraphs,
therefore I really can't use any of the existing macros to re-wrap a
paragraph.  So, I created the following macro.  It works "O-Kay", but
won't work on the last paragraph because there is no indent to match.
     Any help would be appreciated.

      next: CursorDown

Qedit v 3.0 was shareware. The cost to register was $59. The next
version, The SemWare Editor Junior (TSE Jr.) - version 4.0  is
commercial but still costs just $59.
It comes in 3 flavors: regular, The SemWare Editor Junior for OS/2
and the SemWare Editor Junior / Mem-Res [ for access to the editor
at anytime, in the middle of anything else, memory resident version
of The SemWare Editor Junior... will require 9k of DOS memory.

I didn't find such lines in 'proc InitBooklet()'. So I made the change in
'proc InitPrintJob' instead.
Maybe thats my problem. It prints 2up, but all left sides of the sheets is
printet two times. On page 1, on the left side, I get the first page and the
last page. On the right side, I get page 2 allright, but all left-sides is
illegible. I can still use duplex-style, if I want to re-order the pages, but
I suppose, thats because, that part of the printing have not been destructed.

assistant: Hello All!
If I want page-numbers in a printout from TSE pro (ver 2.5), I can order them
in the header- or footer-line. But I can't find a way, to avoid, the printet
text to be
  'Page    1'
  'Page    2'
In Denmark, as well as most other european countries, a page is not called
'page', so it look's very un-professional, when the TSEpro insists on using
english words.
Is there a fancy macro somewhere in the world, who fixes this nasty bug.

You can use several macros at once; one for every unassigned key on
the keyboard.  I started with the standard Qconfig.dat and began
filling in the unassigned keys starting with F10, F11, F12 then Ctrl
F3 through to Ctrl F9 and then Shift 1 to Shift 9 [on the numeric
keypad]
To make a macro:
-Hit ESC, M, M or just Ctrl M.
-When prompted, assign an unused key. [Keep a list somewhere for
 future reference if you make several!]
-Make your macro by entering a series of commands or keystrokes,
 including other existing macros if desired.
-Hit ESC, M, M or Ctrl M again to turn off Macro record.
To save your new macro:
-Hit ESC, M, W(rite) and when prompted make a file name with the
extension .mac You can add a [drive and] path if you want it stored in
another directory.
To reload your macro:
-Hit ESC, M, R(ead) and enter your file.mac name when prompted.
To make your macro part of Qedit so you don't have to load it every
session:
- Use the Macro Translator QMAC.EXE to translate your macro file to
a text file. After you save your macro to "file.mac", use F9 or Alt
F9 to get to DOS and execute "qmac file.mac file.txt".  Stick the
contents of "file.txt" into your Qconfig.dat file using your editor.
[Make a back up of the original first!] Run Qconfig.exe to update
and your new macro key assignment will now be incorporated into the
editor program.

No _functional_ differences.  The SemWare Editor Junior _is_ QEdit...we
had to change the name.  Now, of course, The SemWare Editor Jr. does
have a lot of new features (we wouldn't change the version number if
there weren't significant enhancements):
    - Synchronized Scrolling
    - Mouse Support
    - File Locater (ie, Where type command)
    - Directory Tree
    - Windows Clipboard Cut and Paste support (OS/2 Clipboard in the
      OS/2 version)
    - CUA Style block marking
    - Mouse Menu
    - Incremental Search
    - New find and replace options.
    - Maximize Window
    - Swap Characters, Words and Lines
    - Maximum line length increased to 2032 characters.
    - New look for the menus (new attribute(s) for the hotkeys to make
      them stand out a bit more).
    - Approximately 30 new commands.
If you would like a more detailed list of new features, just let me
know.  Hope this helps!

lines. if insertions take place aterwards, it doesn't wrap. however,
depending on the configuration, it's easy to rewrap it. also, there probably
is a possibility to have it done automatically when some mods are done to the
configuration. it's very flexible.
