SK->Can someone post all the control keys and alt keys for QEDIT so I

Write your reply.

assistant: It's almost impossible.  It all depends on how QEDIT has been configured.
It can be set up (with QCONFIG.EXE) to emulate Brief, Norton Editor,
PE II, WordPerfect 5 and WordStar 3.3/SideKick 1.5.
If you run the QCONFIG program you can set it up to any of these and if
you have v3.0 there is also the QMAC.EXE to imbed macros into QEdit.
Running QCONFIG shows you all the settings that have been made and
allows you to change them to your liking.

Holger

Write your reply.

assistant: It is the same product (with the usual version specific types of
 improvements). The name change came about because a software
 company came "out of the woodwork" with a valid claim that they
 had prior rights to the "Qedit" name for a product they wrote
 many years ago for a minicomputer platform (soory I forget which
 one) so Semware opted to rename Qedit to TSEJr rather than
 fight. Their commercial product was already called TSE which
 stands for "The Semware Editor" so the idea made sense from that
 perspective as well.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Paul,
NOTE! I said renamed, that doesn't imply any differences.
They were forced to rename QEDIT because the name clashed with somebody
elses registered name.  The last version of QEDIT carrying that name is
v4.0. At the same time TSEJR4 was released which is exactly the same
program but carrying the new name.  TSE stands for The Semware Editor
and "JR" stands for the shareware version that QEDIT always was.
Then there are the TSE and TSE Pro which are the DOS editors and the
new TSE Pro/32 which is for Windows 95 and NT.  None of these are
shareware but commercial versions.
Oh how I wish that somebody from Semware was here to answer questions
like yours but I haven't seen anyone in a loooong time.
Have a nice day,
Holger

assistant: Hello All!
I have been using Qedit v2.1 for years, I could not live without it. I had it
all setup with my spelling checker SSPELL and lots of other things and then
had a HD crash and lost all the macros and only have Q.EXE left, the original
is on two 5 1/4" disks and I only have a 3 1/2 drive now. I could get this
copied on to two 1.44k disks I guess.
You know what its like, you set these things up and they work, you forget all
about it. If it ain't broke I don't fix it.
I now have a tape backup working so this should not happen again. <G>
Anyone got some good macros for me? I am not a programmer, any help is
appreciated. Also is it worth upgrading to the new version TSE?

Lawrence

You can make Qedit work like any editor you want.  Just assign
the right macros to the right keys.
See the documentation for more details as going into the macro
language here would take too long.
