to Cees Schouten about 'eLitE macro.. <grin>':
Hi Steve!
Yezz... not something I'm going to use everyday but it's really neat.
:-))
Just did, a couple of times.... NO CARRIER. Will try it later.
Right, and it's possible to put some things, like smileys, under Control-Key
combinations?  For instance,	<g>, which I use mostly is <ctrl-d> with me.
And will it be saved automatically or any which way so that you don't have to
program your macro's everytime you start up QEdit?
I've worked with them both; and since boxer/2 came in shareware the choice
was easy.  Now I've laid my hands on a QEdit clone for OS/2 by the name of
BEdit.  Almost the same with a couple of less features but very workable. And
free! :)
Found that one accidentally coz' this Belgian programmer made a very nice bbs
prog for OS/2 (AcroBat/2) and I'm having contact with him via the InterNet.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Cees,
Just thought that I would chip in -- there are a lot of macros available
from our support BBS -- and several FidoNet nodes routinely get these files
and make them available to their users. (We also have these macros available
on our InterNet FTP / Web site: http://www.semware.com, and via our CIS
forum: Go SEMWARE, Lib. 6).
This is one of the advantages of working with TSE Jr. (formerly QEdit), many
things are possible with the macro interface.  And if something doesn't
exist, we can help get you start on it.
One final point: macros that you can use under TSE Jr. for DOS also work
under TSE Jr/2.  Which is an advantage if you need to work in both
environments.

version, we post information to our users.

Write your reply.

assistant: Probably because of the samples we provide.  I'll have to see if I can come
up with a couple of good generic templates to add to the standard set.
Well, if you are intersted more in the macros we provide with the editor,
pull up the Potpourri (Util / Potpourri -- or <Shift F10>), and browse
through the descriptions.  You can get more information by highlighting an
interesting macro and pressing <F1>.
Okay -- we were interested to find out becuase if we could have followed the
logic we would have (or have done something similar).
Not too much, just something that we still need a few more facilities to
handle...  We're getting real close, and I will keep examining the
possibility of doing something to handle outlines (you don't know how much I
have wanted this facility <g>).
There have been a couple of requests for it -- not quite enough to make it a
top priority, but enough to keep it in our minds (well, mine at least <g>)
as we work on adding features/functions to the editor.

This saves the message and returns me to Bluewave.
I have tried using the above commands at F11 with Macrobegin
and then the commands spaced properly.
* enhanced keyboard only
f11              MacroBegin Escape Return File Escape
f12
Then I save Qconfig.dat and run Qconfig, Keys, Save.
For some reason the F11 does not do what it is suppose to.
Where am I going wrong??  I have also set the enhanced Keyboard on
in my Qedit.
Thanks
