Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
I was wondering if anybody knows where I can get the latest version of "TSEj"
for OS/2 please? Preferably in Australia and to narrow it down just that bit
more, Perth Western Australia would be most ideal.
I would firstly be looking for a shareware version (if it's available) and
providing it is what I am looking for, I would then be looking to register
.
I would prefer to evaluate and then register but if I can only get the
registered version then so be it.
Please, please help me to find this editor?
P.S. Does anybody in Australia actually post in this echo? I haven't seen any
posts here in the few weeks that I have been getting the echo.
Bye,
        Wayne.

assistant: Wayne Wessling replied to a message of Chad Wallace to All:
TSE refers to The Semware Editor, a very high powered big brother (so
to speak) to Qedit. Qedit is being renamed TSEjr, due to someone
else's older editor also named Qedit (and which held a copyright). The
latest version of Qedit that I have seen is v3.0c (someone please
correct me if there is a newer one out). The author, Sammy Mitchell,
has stated that there should be a new version of TSEjr (formerly
Qedit) out in 4-6 weeks!
Isn't there a registration form for the OS/2 version in the archive -
QEDIT30C.zip?
Possibly due to the long weekend, neither George deBruin nor Richard
Blackburn, the Semware support staff for this echo haven't seen your
messages yet. I am sure that they will be glad to give you all the
information you need, besides, they know everything about it and I

About TSE?
Oh yeah...  How are the macros set up?  Are they just compiled into regular
machine code, with special codes that represent certain functions?  Or is it
interpreted?
Yeah, I saw that.  No rush, I guess.  3.00c is fine for me. :-) Although one
feature I'd like is searching throughout every loaded file.  (Extra-Global
:-) )
Yes, I do have that on.  I'm using F11 and F12, and other enhanced-only keys.
But when I put "Grey/" as one of the keys, it says "Unknown key" or something
like that.

I have been  linked to this echo for about two months, have posted three
echo messages and one net mail to George de Bruin (who I think is the
author of the program and Semware) but have not received an answer to
any of the messages!  It is most frustrating as I use Qedit (and like
it) and would like to have the latest version TSEj (but for DOS) and PAY
FOR IT but how to get through to the people who can provide is a good
question. Maybe George is so well off that he doesn't need the money?
If you should get an answer Wayne, I'd be grateful if you would pass
the information on to me (and probably others who use the program in OZ)
Here's hoping you have better luck that I!

user: You are replying to All about "TSE: conditional keypad".

Write your reply.

assistant: I usually have NumLock off, and use the keypad cursors for movement.
 When I want a few numbers from the keypad, I often don't turn on NumLock,
 but use the Shift key.  In most programs this works fine, but TSE's
 driver is off, and to get that to work, you had to use assignments like
<Shift CursorLeft>   InsertText("4")
 This is fine if NumLock is off, but it's hardwired, so it's incorrect
 when NumLock is on, when Shift should override the NumLock to produce
 Left() again.  I was reading, and figured out how to get the correct
 response in either case, with assignments such as:
<Shift Del>          if GetKeyFlags() & _num_lock_depressed_
                     mDelChar() else InsertText(".") endif
<Shift CursorDown>   if GetKeyFlags() & _num_lock_depressed_
                     Down() else InsertText("2") endif
 And so on.  This doesn't improve the situation with the shifted grey
 cursors, since they're still incorrectly equated with the shifted
 keypad cursors, but it's a start.

assistant: Hello James!
Replying to a message of James Fredensborg to Wayne Wessling:
Thank you for that explanation James. It is a shame that someone else got in
first with the copyright because "Q-Edit" is so much easier to remember and
it is a name that I have always related to a brillient editor. Never mind
though, I guess we shall just have to get used to the name "TSEjr" :)
Since I am located in Perth, South Western Australia, v3.0c is quite possibly
the latest version that will be available at this stage (I hope).
I will poll my Boss Node and see if he even has QEDIT30C.ZIP available for
F'Req.
I do have an OS/2 version on my system at the moment, but only the .EXE and
therefore I cannot configure it to meet my requirements.
I would guess that echo lag has a bit to do with it also :) Being so far
away, the mail takes a little longer to get out and back.
Now "Tessie" is a good nick name :)
Thanks for you help.
