Does anyone have a macro that will do a case-sensitive replace?
That is, if I am replacing "aaa bbb" with "xxxxxx yyyyy" then
"aa bbb" will be replace with "xxxxxx yyyyy"
"Aa bbb" will be replace with "Xxxxxx yyyyy"
"Aa Bbb" will be replace with "Xxxxxx Yyyyy"
"aa Bbb" will be replace with "xxxxxx Yyyyy"
and possibly
"AA BBB" will be replace with "XXXXXX YYYYY"

Hello,
If you want to manage directories under Win32, here are MkDir and
RmDir functions :
// TOOLS.S
// _______
#ifdef WIN32
#define NULL 0
// MkDir : create a new directory "fn"
// ___________________________________
#ifdef TOOLS_MKDIR
dll "<kernel32.dll>"
   integer proc CreateDirectory( string s : cstrval, integer n )
      : "CreateDirectoryA"
end
integer proc MkDir( string fn )
   return ( CreateDirectory( fn, NULL ) )
end
#endif
// RmDir : remove an existing directory "fn"
// _________________________________________
#ifdef TOOLS_RMDIR
dll "<kernel32.dll>"
   integer proc RemoveDirectory( string s : cstrval )
      : "RemoveDirectoryA"
end
integer proc RmDir( string fn )
   return ( RemoveDirectory( fn ) )
end
#endif
#endif
So, when you want to use MkDir or RmDir, add #define TOOLS_MKDIR or
#define TOOLS_RMDIR in your SAL source and enjoy. It works great and
quicker than a Dos() command.

Undo is about 75% to 85% in our current in-house win32 console and win32 gui
versions.  Redo is not yet implemented.

One o the reasons I have stayed on this list (after an initial
set of installation problems with v,2.8 - which were fixed with
the revision to 2.8b) is that it's signal-noise ratio is very
high (though this discussion is lowering it - sorry ;-)).  Going
to a newsgroup would degrade that signal enormously.  It ain't
broke, don't fix it.

A couple of things I have thought of and would like to see if we could
implement them one day:
- I would like to add one of the 'bbs' messaging style packages to our web.
  This would allow people to communicate re: TSE without having to be on a
  mailing list.  A lot of our users would like to communicate with other TSE
  users, but they do not want to be on a mailing list.
  On the downside, I haven't found a free NT specific package yet.  The ones
  I have seen are perl scripts, originally written for UNIX.  Several of
  them have apparently been 'fixed' so that they work under NT, but these
  are fairly recent, and we don't have the time or expertise to debug
  something like this.
  Also, since the ones I've seen are HTML based, you have to be sure and
  refresh the page often, so you get the latest messages.
- I would also like SemWare to have a usenet newsgroup.  Something like
  alt.semware [.tse /.tsepro /.tsepro32, etc).  I have no idea how to set
  something like this up, but I keep hoping someone will 'give' us one
  someday (maybe as a Christmas present? <grin>)

Here is a suggestion.
If the subject line of the message would begin with "Editor:", we will be
able to identify the editor messages.  This will allow:
*	The readers who want to read about Editor issues may.
*	The readers who do not want to be spammed with Editor issues could simply
delete the mail message with bothering to read it.
Just a thought.

I think TSE Pro List server is a good forum to share ideas/tips/help between
TSE users. The only drawback I see is that it is exclusive for TSE users. A
news group will expose TSE to other users, and TSE users can also learn
from users of other editors. Many users claim TSE to be the best editor in
the universe by PROBABLY comparing it MS editors only. This sort of claim
will surely cause a lot of debats in the editor news group - and rightly so.
The
current way is fine, but a news group might be better IMHO.
