Thanks! I have worked with Qedit Advanced Version 3 (schareware) in

couple of times on a friends computer. I like TSE best but have not had the
time to test as much as I would like.
Before I send of money to register what is the latest version of TSE and
the difference with TSE junior and Qedit? Sorry but I have seen different
versions on BBS'ses (shareware) and I'm a little confused. Also I'm new to
FidoNet and still learning.
That's all for now!

TSE junior is the former Qedit. Qedit may not be used anymore due to some
trademarks or something.
the best editor so far is TSE pro, v2.5; much faster than Qedit/junior, more
flexible and edits anything up to 64 Mb (or 128 Mb, XMS + EMS ?? I never got
*that* far).
editing or bowsing in a nodelist is no problem and damn fast.

assistant: TSE Jr. and QEdit are the same product.  We are moving from the QEdit name
to TSE Jr. for legal reasons.  Currently TSE Jr. 4.0 is the most recent
version.
TSE Pro. is currently up to version 2.5.
You can find a shareware version of TSE Jr. 4.0, and demo version of TSE Pro
2.5 on The SemWare BBS (770-641-8968), our Web / FTP sites (www.semware.com
adn ftp.semware.com), or in Library 6 of our CompuServe Forum (GO SEMWARE).

user: You are replying to All about "New version of TSE Pro!".

Write your reply.

assistant: SemWare is currently beta testing a unique console-mode version of The
SemWare Editor Professional for Windows 95 and Windows NT.  This version
has the same look and feel as the DOS version of TSE Pro, but has been
converted to a native 32-bit application that runs under Windows 95 and
Windows NT.
This new product - TSE Pro/32 (Console Mode) - allows you to take
advantage of Windows 95/NT features that are not available in the DOS
version of TSE Pro.  With TSE Pro/32 (Console Mode), you can:
  - Create.and.edit.files.with.long.filenames
  - Edit even larger files
  - Access the native Windows 95/NT Clipboard for cutting/pasting text
  - Manage files within PickLists (sort, delete, load, change drives)
  - Resize your screen to whatever columns/rows Windows allows
  - Edit longer line lengths (up to 8K)
  - Launch TSE Pro/32 either from the command line without creating
    another window, or from an icon on the Windows desktop or Start
    menu.
  - Extend TSE Pro/32 using not only the editor's own _powerful_ (yet
    simple-to-use) macro programming language, but also using DLLs.
    Write your own DLLs for a unique task, or use one of hundreds
    already written.
  - Easily upgrade from the DOS version of TSE Pro.  The user interface
    is the same and source code for most macros is portable between the
    two versions.
And because it is a 32-bit console-mode program, this version will be
especially useful to the serious Windows programmer, offering program
development from the command-line - allowing you to write program code
more quickly and easily.
TSE Pro/32 (Console Mode) is anticipated for release later this summer.
Stay tuned to this site for upcoming announcements!

     I'm certainly *not* a "power user" of TSE/Jr but having registered

for configuring the tabs in detail.  Anyway, here's what the manual

Couple of notes:
Version 3.0 added "Expand Tabs to Spaces", and "Compress Spaces to Tabs"
commands to the Other menu.  When using this:
    - Make sure you have "Tabs Out Mode" set to OFF.
    - If you only want to do a specified range, use a block to highlight
      that area.  If you want to do the whole file, just execute the command
      (no block highlight necessary).
    - Save and reload the file.
Hope this helps!

Write your reply.

assistant: These are both ASCII/DOS standards.
There is an easier way: pull up the ASCII chart, highlight the character and
press enter.
What you suggest can be implemented with a simple modification to the key
assignments in your QCONFIG.DAT file:
^enter      BegLine #12    * Place FormFeed at beginning of line
or
^enter      EndLine #12     * Place FormFeed at end of line
These are just a couple of simple versions of this...  There's a lot more
that can be done using the macro interface to modify your key assignments to
handle this.
Hope this helps!

Hold on tight: we have something like this in TSE Pro. already, it's just
implemented in a slightly different manner.  The name of the feature is
Template, and is implemented as a macro that you need to load (I'd recommend
