assistant: Hi Rinat!
 On Tue Jul 18 Rinat Sadretdinow wrote the following to All:
 TSE is an acronym for "The Semware Editor", which is a newer version of
 QEdit.  Actually there are two versions of TSE now, TSE Pro and TSE
 Jr..  TSE Jr. is actually QEdit simply renamed with a new features.
 TSE Pro is a much more enhanced version of QEdit, a bit bigger but with
 a lot more features.
 TSE Jr. isn't available as shareware yet.  There is an OS/2 of TSE Jr.,
 but as far as I know, it's only available to registered users.  The
 latest version for what you're calling QEdit is TSE Jr. v4.0 and it's
 well worth registering if you're an OS/2 user that's used to using
 QEdit!

assistant: Hi Chad:
Pardon my jumping in...
As usual, SemWare is being a bit modest.  The object format George refers
to is as tight as you'll ever see.  1000 bytes of .MAC compiled code is
a sophisticated application.  One macro programmer wrote a clone of
Vernon Buerg's LIST.COM.  The compiled macro is 15K -- 3K smaller than
VB's handcrafted assembly code.  The 'WHERE' file find utility macro
(which incorporates macro language and assembly code) is as fast as the
better filefinders available -- faster than most.
TSEPro is simply the best editor on the planet.

for OS/2. To my surprise, last week I tried Qedit for OS/2 under NT
and it seemed to work (loaded a 1.5 meg text file, sorted on a
selected block (the sort seemed slow)).
     I received the flyer about the new versions of TSE Pro and TSE Jr.
including the OS/2 version. My question is, will TSE Jr. OS/2 also work
under Windows NT 3.51? What are the relative merits of TSE Pro and TSE
Jr. OS/2 under NT? What I really like about Qedit is it's speed.
   Thanks,

   To my knowledge, Qedit for OS/2 was never released as Shareware.
   So to get a copy, you tried out plain Qedit and then registered to
   get the OS/2 version.  They worked the same.  SEMWARE has a WWW
   page I believe where you can DL their shareware.  Peace.

Anyway, the command line switch is /L to load a macro file, and /E to execute

There is no space after the /L or /E, like this:

The character is a tab (The HT stands for Horizontal Tab), which will usually

I think you have to have tabs-out mode off, so that it will output spaces
instead of tabs.
Actually, politics does pay--quite a bit.  That's one of the problems of
it... But of course the politicians don't care. Anyhoo... :-)
