 TSE-Jr 4.0 (the newer, less-nice name for QEdit)
 comes in DOS and OS/2 versions.  The OS/2 version
 would do all your present QEdit 3.0 does and more.
 TSE-Pro 2.6/2.8 are Win95/NT.  TSE-Pro 2.5 is for DOS.

Write your reply.

assistant: From: Steve <steve.watkins@semware.com>
Suppose... I repeat suppose... that SC32 allowed multiple assignments of =
variables such as
n =3D m =3D p =3D 1
I would assume that the variables n,m, and p are all set to 1.
(For those of you who have already found this advanced feature.... =
ignore it for now)
But how would you expect the following to work?
string s[20], t[10], u[4]
s =3D t =3D u =3D "12345678901234"
Would you expect ? (OPTION 1)
u =3D "1234"
t =3D "1234567890"
s =3D "12345678901234"
the longhand version would be:
u =3D "12345678901234"	// which truncates to "1234" since u is only 4 =
characters in size
t =3D "12345678901234"    // which truncates to "1234567890" since t is =
only 10 characters in size
s =3D "12345678901234"   // which does not truncate at all since s is 20 =
characters in size
or would you expect ? (OPTION 2)
u =3D "1234"
t =3D "1234"
s =3D "1234"
whose longhand is
u =3D "12345678901234"    // which truncates to "1234" since u is only 4 =
characters in size
t =3D u                              // which sets t to "1234" since u =
is "1234"
s =3D t                              // which sets s to "1234" since t =
is "1234"=20
Put the string slice issue aside for now... Also, ignore the issue of =
BYTE or WORD types which could possibly be added for additional numeric =
storage... I'll bring that issue up later if need be...
What's your opinion?  Should multiple assignments cause the right-hand =
value to be assigned to each left-handle variable (OPTION 1) or should =
the right-hand expression be assigned to each left-hand variable as it =
passes right to left (OPTION 2)?

Write your reply.

assistant: From: Domenick Ciccotto <ciccotto@IDT.NET>
Within a macro, is there any way to search for a block within a
document or a block in one document against a 2nd document.
     In my case each line of the block would match exactly to each
line of the document (no shifting within a line).
The Block would be 3 or 4 *FULL* lines.
I know, I can do a find on JUST THE FIRST LINE of the Block and if
found then check the next line etc.  But I am hoping that there
is a way of squeezing a block into a find command.

assistant: From: "The Librarian" <sg@peganet.com>
Hi There,
In my tse.ui file (version2.5) I have the following:
Proc OnFirstEdit()
end
To allow me to know when files are being switched, such as:
lFind("whatever", "ia"), I have inserted the line:
Sound(50) Delay(2) NoSound()
It then looks like:
proc OnFirstEdit()
Sound(50) Delay(2) NoSound()
end
Which is just fine.  I then burn in the file with the sc command and I'm
off and running.
However,  there are times when I'm doing research that I don't want to
hear the clicking sound each time a file is switched.
Is there a way that I can turn this feature on or off without having to
load the tse.ui file to either leave it or to insert two slashes (//) at
the beginning of the line before having to re-burn the program using the
sc command?
Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Write your reply.

assistant: From: "Dave Guyer" <dguyer@mail.cdsnet.net>
Sebastion, I face the same situation at work.  We use Samba instead
of NFS, but it is the same situation.  We map remote drives on both
UNIX and DOS boxes.
I find it too distracting to try to remember what format the file
needs to be in for each box.  And too often, it's wrong in the first
place due to someone elses editor, so I can't just leave it as-is!  I
depend on TSE to make it right no matter what I do.
My solution is based a few macros that set the EOL type
based on drive.  In my case, drives H, I, and J are UNIX and the rest
are DOS.
On the down side, my solution was written for me and not for
distribution, so drives H, I, and J are hard-coded rather than being
user configurable.  Using it in another environment where H, I, and
J are not UNIX would produce undesirable results.
On the up side, it also works on writing blocks to a file on disk.
You can't just hook ON-FILE-SAVE or blocks don't write correctly.
You or anyone else that would like it are welcome to a copy, but I
don't have time to fix it up for distribution.  If someone would like
to, the code will be in the public domain.  Just ask!

Hi There,
Using Jim's suggestion, the:
  integer MakeSound=1
was inserted in the global section of the tse.uui file in version 2.5
The proc OnFirstEdit() was re-written as:
proc OnFirstEdit()
if MakeSound == 1
Sound(50) Delay(2) NoSound()
endif
end
Then using his key suggestion to envoke the proc, I added the ending so
that when the key was pressed, I'd get either a long beep for
activation) or a short one when deactivated.
<CtrlAlt i> MakeSound = iif( MakeSound==1,0,1) Sound(iif(MakeSound,800,400))
Delay(9) NoSound()
Thanks Jim.  Now I can get back to work!
BTW, I tried using query in the following, but couldn't get it to work.
It only took me forty-five minutes to find it in the manual where query
had  to be used with configuration variables.  But after some
experimenting, Bingo!:
Sound(iif(MakeSound,800,400)) Delay(9) NoSound()

Write your reply.

assistant: From: fred.holmes@mix.cpcug.org (FRED HOLMES)
When editing a file in hex/binary mode:
    E -b -h <filespec>
can one display the address/offset, either in the "wasted"
columns in the main editing area, or as a single value (for the
cursor location) on the status line?  Has anyone worked this out?
It would be nice to have a display that is similar to that which
LIST.COM provides in the "hex" viewing mode.
Often I want to patch a file, and I'm given an address/offset
value, and a patch (change to) value.  I'd like a way of getting
to the address/offset quickly and efficiently, and knowing I'm
really there when I get there.
I need this for TSE Pro 2.5.  Haven't started using a 32 bit OS
yet.

 The above in TSE.UI near the start somewhere, and this line

 If you comment out the line that says "and (DisplayMode()==_display_hex_)"
 it works both in bin+hex mode and in plain binary mode.  I use that alot,
 and use ShowChar() on the status line to show what the hex part of the
 screen would, so I can use longer lines.  64-character ones work well
 logically with the Offset display.
 That's much more complex, and I've never seen such a macro.
 BTW, this
            UnHook(mShowOffSet) UpdateDisplay(_statusline_refresh_) endif
 toggles the status line bewteen the two appearances:
 Offset 0000:0170   AW ...
