On my keyboard, the BIOS doesn't process this key at all...  So this was
(most likely a case) where we didn't know it was a valid key.
If you want to, you could have a constant to store the number, and then
use the constant as a key...  IE:
    constant AltShiftEnter = 7419
    proc foo()
        // Whatever you want to do here...
    end
    <AltShiftEnter>     Foo()
/-------------------

That's about the best I can think of, Jorg.

Yup...there's no variable that stores the sort flags.

About TSE?
I've heard this term used before...  What is a "regular expression"?
I've seen some of this here...  Complete with procedures. :-)
Ohhh, is TSE the one that can run .COM programs from within macros? Not just
like with DOS "file.com", but actually as a part of the macro...  I heard
this quite a while ago, and I think it was TSE...
Oh, but QEdit is just so much easier to say! :-)
Sounds good.  Where could I get a copy of TSE Jr. 4?  I haven't seen it
around anywhere...  I currently have 3.0c.
Oh, and there are a few keys that aren't recognized by the configuration.
"Grey/" for one, off the top of my head...

Write your reply.

assistant: I use ShowKey() to see what letters get a response.  It works
 pretty well, tho sometimes there are weird lapses.  For example,
 *most* of the ShiftShift letter combinations are valid keys for
 me except A, F, R and U.  Why those get skipped, I've no idea.
 TSE won't recognize any ShiftShift letters by name, but will
 accept the numbers ShowKey provides.  On ShiftShift F-keys, F3
 and F9 are skipped as nonresponsive by ShowKey, yet TSE *will*
 accept assignments to any ShiftShift F-key by name, even to F3
 and F9, tho it obviously won't react to them.
    Probably more efficient that way, since I do have to have a
 note in the key assignment section anyway, telling me what 7419
 is, else I'd not remember it.

We do not have a Shareware version of TSE Jr. (formerly QEdit) available

Just to clarify things: the only DEMO version we have released is of The
SemWare Editor Professional 2.0, which is a separate, commercial

but is TSE jr (ex-Qedit) still a shareware package or is it now a commerical

The reason is that I was a long time QEDIT user until a friend (who had a
pre-release copy of TSE) convinced me to purchase TSE. I've yet to regret
this move & reckon TSE is the best DOS based editor I've come across (yes,
yes - I know I'm preaching to the converted in this echo!). I'd like to be
able to grab  hold of a evaluation version of TSE jr & pass it onto my
friends if possible.

If you are asking if there is a version support your native language,

As I said, it really depends on what we were able to determine would be
available...which differs from keyboard to keyboard (or so it seems).
Send us a list of the keys that you can find the number for via Showkey
that don't have a name associated, and I'll pass 'em along and see if we
can add names to the table.
The best way to send us the information would be to get the output from
Showkey itself.
