assistant: ROB, the best way to do this is to write a macro.
Try this:
Press Ctrl and M to begin recording macro
Press Alt and . (period): Assign to Alt . (period)
Press Ctrl and F to find character
Press Alt and 12 for page symbol then press ENTER
Press I to ignore case
Press Delete to remove page symbol
Press Alt and 13 2 times
Press Ctrl and M to end recording macro
Now each time you press Atl and . (period) simultaneously
TSE Jr. will find the page symbol, delete it and replace
it with two CR's
Hope this helps.

On Apr 10, 1996, You wrote to All about Search for Page Symbol
Replace it with:  Alt-13, Alt-10, Alt-13, Alt-10.  That'll create two CR/LF
pairs.  You may have to exit and reload the file before the CR/LF's become
new lines, instead of just the symbols.  I haven't tried this, but it should
work...
Not that I know of.  It would be nice...  Telix uses ^M and ^J for CR and LF.
And ^[ for Esc, ^A for Ctrl-A, etc...  I prefer that method.

assistant: ** Quoting Justin Hawkins to Stu Turk:
No.  There is a corrsponding version of QEdit for OS/2 and it functions
virtually identically to the DOS version.
QEdit is a great choice - as I said, the DOS and OS/2 versions work
almost identically - in fact, the only way I can tell that I'm using one
version or the other is the presence, or lack, of the remaining memory
indicator on the status line ("remaining memory" has no relevance under
an OS with virtual memory).
Note, though, that the OS/2 version is *not* shareware.
I consider the money I spent on QEdit among the best registration
dollars I've spent.

How do you get Qedit to create a page-break when editing a document?
By that I mean such that Qedit physically shows where the page break will
occur when printing the document like WordPerfect 5.1 shows with "-------"
at the end of each page AS YOU ARE TYPING.
Otherwise Qedit is an excellent editor now I would just like it to be
printer friendly.

About four months ago I converted all my message bases to Squish style
format and since then I have been keeping an eye on the echo hoping to
catch the periodical posting of the conference rules so that I could
import them into the first message of this echo area.  In this way, any
of my users who strolled in here, or any other conference, would always
be presented with a blurb about the echo.
It is quite possible that I missed them being posted in here so that is
the reason for my request to repost them.
I apologize for widening the badnwidth a bit to get them, but as I
mentioned I have been on the lookout for them but haven't came stumbled
over them.
Regards.

Write your reply.

assistant: You don't (or at least not without a bunch of work on your part)
 ;-) Qedit is a "text editor" as opposed to a "word processor"
 and as such it is designed to work with "pure text" which it
 doesn't format in any way other than allowing you to tell it to
 wrap text and have "sticky indents" and a few other
 convenienence features. Since it has no settings for printer
 support it has no knowledge of things like page length for a
 printer etc. If you wish to force a page break to appear in a
 document at a specific point you can always insert a "form feed"
 character by holding down the "Alt" key and typing "12" on the
 numeric keypad which will insert the ASCII code for a form feed
 in the document (looks like a small circle on top of a "+" sign.
 Qedit also has an extensive macro language available to you and
 I expect you could write a macro to start at the top of the file
 and walk through it marking every 60 (or whatever) lines witha
 demarkation line like you would like to see to show where
 "natural page breaks" would occur. Of course you'd probably need
 to extend the idea to have the macro clean out old marker lines
 and start fresh each time you ran it and since the marker lines
 would be in your file you'd need another macro to remove them
 before printing the file ;-)

Write your reply.

assistant: thers
   use ASCII 12
   You will see the ASCII 12 character in your file
   the ASCII 12 will cause a formfeed just like WP5.1 did for you.
   Use the number keypad and ALT to enter the character.  Refer to
   your manual which came with the registered version that you have.
   You will be dissapointed if you think any editor will replace a word
   processer like WORD PERFECT or WORD or AMIPRO, etc.  They are
   different beasties and used for entirely different purposes.  I
   assume you already knew that.  I notice your reference to something
   that Word Perfect uses....the "-------".  Peace.
