You can only push 64 keys into the buffer using PushKey.  After that I
don't know if it will crash or just give bad results, but either is
unacceptable so I would say that's your limit.

According to the documentation for PushKey() the queue holds 64 keys.  =
Depending on what you may have already pushed, the maximum additional =
number you could put would be less.
Also, PushKey() can be called an unlimited number of times without =
crashing the editor.  However, according to the documentation, once the =
keyboard queue is full, PushKey() returns FALSE until keys are removed =
from the queue.
assuming you haven't pushed any keys you could do the following:
do 63 times
    PushKey(<t>)
enddo
PushKey(<r>)

At 04:22 PM 10/10/97 MET Hans de Wit, whom God loves, said:
I found myself doing this with another higher volume list until I
retrained myself.  It is a matter of going thru the mail and deleting
the obvious ones (unsubscribe for instance) and then checking all the
others, even if it is just a quick scan.
Another thing that helped me a lot is that I got Eudora Pro for a
mail program.  This allows me to use filters to put all the TSE-Pro
mail in a single mailbox.  I can also go thru and re-title the mail
after I read it to something meaningful to me.  For instance, if I
were to keep this mail it may be that I rename the subject to something
like "How to organize TSE mail."  Another HUGE help with Eudora Pro
is that I can sort my list of messages by date, subject, or author
and then I can use color labels to further separate messages for
me.
I don't think threading would help much since most threads last for only
2 or 3 messages and the longest are only around 10 or 11... which is
very rare.
Hope it helps!

Hello,
Although I agree that a newsgroup gives a lot of garbage I have to
remark that  I am missing something in the functionality of the
tsepro mailinglist.
I throw away to much to fast. After a while I know that somebody said
something useful but I can not find it anymore. Of course, that is my
problem but if there is a solution...
I don't think that the structure of threads gives a lot of relief in
the chaos of information on this editor. A lot of subjects with only
a few messages will give very long lists of subjects. It is better
though than all messages in a serial list, I think.

This probably isnt the type of response you're looking for, but I also have
a problem with my cursor disappearing.  It happens when I shell out of TSE
to a command prompt.  I've found that if I just Alt-Tab to another app and
then Alt-Tab back to TSE, then my cursor reappears.  I'm not positive on
this, but I believe under some circumstances TSE runs an outside executable
to do sorts.  If so you may be experiencing the same thing I am.

Again, I apologize for this off topic question, and will try to
refrain from poor netiquette in the future.  Thanks in advance for

This is, IMO, an unjust overgeneralization.  Although PINE on Unix seems to

Repeating what I said in my last reply, and to bring this discussion back

situations and not just the one particular situation we have.  A perfect
example of this is Chris Antos' macro to handle projects.  It was written
with the various user configurations in mind and with changing only one
line in one file I can make the key to invoke it totally different.  If he
just wanted to make one for himself he would probably have written it
differently and to customize it for my settings would be a nightmare.
I apologize to all on this list if I seem too dogmatic about this issue,
but as a professional programmer myself it really bugs me to see people
(not implying anyone on this list!) slop by with code that suits their
needs or just barely works and maintains the "screw everyone else... it

Hi folks,
Is there a way to force syntax highlighting to follow an order of
precedence for nested delimiters?
I have set up highlighting for HTML files, using <!-- --> and < > as
multi-line delimiters.  Then I added <% %> delimiters for ASP script
code.  This works fine if a block of script code stands alone, but not
if it is embedded in an HTML tag.
For example:
1. <img src="myfile.gif">
2. <% myVar = "myfile.gif" %>
3. <img src="<% =myVar %>">
Line 1 is white text.  Line 2 is green text. Line 3 is all white.  What
I want on line three is <% =myVar %> in green, and the rest of the line
in white.

There seem to be many participants in this discussion about marking
the E-mails in the Semware Mailing list with a Subject pointing to
the content of the particular message in a package.
It started with a suggestion to run a conference in a news list but
the latest messages are about a distinctive way to mark an E-mail
so it will be visible at reception, in this case as a classification in
Editor or TSE.
That's fine with me but if we have to mark the E-mails in this way
it will call on a lot of discipline to be agreed to for everybody using
this Mailing list box.  There maybe TSE users that hasn't followed this
discussion, or others that have not used the Mailbox for a long time;
they wouldn't know about such an agreement, and just use
a Subject line relevant to their own problem or type of mail content.
Can we cope with that?
