Hi Frank,
I'm not sure what manual method you used, but to be sure,
try the following:
Log into the directory where your TSE Pro v2.50A is located.
From this directory, run TSE Pro v2.50A.
Once you are in editing mode, access the Main Menu, select the
"Options" menu, then "Full Configuration", and finally
"Write Settings to ASCII File".
Specify the filename as FRANK.CFG and save it to the directory
where your TSE Pro v2.5E is located.
Now, exit TSE Pro v2.50A and log into the directory where your
TSE Pro v2.5E is located.
From this directory (assuming your copy of TSE Pro v2.5E is named
E.EXE) run:
SC -b FRANK.CFG
This should burn-in the settings of FRANK.CFG into the editor.
Now run your copy of TSE Pro v2.5E and verify that the colors
are set correctly.
Once you have verified that all is ok:
If you already have an active "#include" statement in your
".UI" file, you will want to be sure to make the appropriate
changes to account for the FRANK.CFG file.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Frank Vlamings asked:
When you burn in settings to e.exe, you normally use two files,
C:\TSE\UI\TSE.UI and C:\TSE\UI\TSE.CFG.  The latter file contains
the color settings.  You can burn them in separately, or put a
#Include statement in TSE.UI.
Go to your old version (2.50A) and use the Menu:
   Options/Full Configuration/Write Setting to an ASCII file.
This will write a new TSE.CFG, or to a filename of your choice.
This TSE.CFG will contain your personalized color settings.
Then put that TSE.CFG (or whatever filename you chose) into
C:\TSE(250E)\UI\TSE.CFG of your new copy.  Then:
   SC -b \UI\TSE.CFG  (or whatever filename used)
If you have already customized the new version differently from
the old version, it should work if you delete everything but the
lines that set colors from the TSE.CFG (or whatever filename).
But I've never actually tried it.
Hope this helps.

I now have the new v2.50E working just right. I have only one very minor
nuisance to me, I would like to see corrected, and that is the following.
How can I convert the color settings from my present v2.50E to what I had
in my v2.50A? I still have all the files of my older v2.50A in another
partition, but would like to have the color scheme and other settings of
v2.50A to work in my new v2.50E. I have tried it manually and save that,
but for some reason, it just is not quite the same setting, I have in my
v2.50A.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the
help. This new v2.50E is really great. Thanks Semware for as usual another
improvement. I like the manuals. They are exceptionally clear IMO.

I'm not Brian, but maybe this will help:
(1) be sure PKUNZIP.EXE is in a directory on your MS-DOS PATH, so you can
execute it from any subdirectory on the computer.
(2) navigate to the disk and subdirectory in which you have placed the .ZIP
file you wish to unzip.  It is helpful if that's the only file in that
particular directory, but not mandatory.
(3) enter the following (replacing the lower case with the actual filename
of the .ZIP file):
PKUNZIP filename
You do not have to add the ".ZIP" to the filename if you don't want to.

what do you mean by "integrate TSE into this environment"?  you can't
somehow connect TSE and MSVC.  however, you can of course use the
command-line compiler tools that come with MSVC (in fact the MSVC
"editor" does exactly that, too).
i use the COMPILE.MAC macro that comes with TSE, along with various
other macros of my own (many of which are available at ftp.semware.com).
MSVC is also a debugger (no, you can't use TSE as a debugger for Windows
C/C++ programs).
personally, i use MSVC as a debugger only, and i use TSE for all my
editing.  for some projects, i use TSE's COMPILE.MAC to compile the
source files, for other projects i use the command line NMAKE tool
(comes with MSVC), and for other projects i use MSVC for compiling and
debugging only, and do all editing in TSE.

I've been happily using TSE Pro for DOS programming for years.  Now
I'm jumping into Windows programming, using MSVC++ V1.52 -
unfortunately, I have to use the 16-bit version.
Looking at MSVC, it looks like there's a lot of integration of the

with no way to change its edit keystrokes, among other lacks.

Anyway, my thought was that if you could do this, you could get something
close
to a seamless integration (assuming that the Borland IDE tracks when you have
made modifications to files, and prompts to reload them).
This way, the IDE could be used as a project management tool, including
compiling and debugging, while TSE could still be used as the editing
interface.
Maybe something like this could be done with the MSVC Development

Now, I still have TSE constantly renaming my files with a tilde even though
