Veeery sorry if it seems like a complaint, it was just frustration.
I was looking the GetHelp Macro (bravo! to Chris Antos) and in the hlp file
I kept finding "Undocumented" stuff (for example in Hook and DisplayMode)
so I felt frustrated.
_AFTER_GET_KEY_ and _BEFORE_GET_KEY_ are really undocumented Hook events?
My SC.EXE gives "unknown keyword", maybe they're for 2.6 only?
Thank you.

I'm using TSE 2.50d
What kind of process can EndProcess() terminate?
In the documentation is said Process(), List and lList(), but I've seen in
various macros that it can be used with PickFile()
I don't understand how and if I can pass the parameter of EndProcess() to
the calling process.
It seems I can only use zero and not zero to force ESC or ENTER.
Does someone know more?
Why so many undocumented items?
Thank you.

sorry for causing frustration.  the reference you're seeing to
"_AFTER_GETKEY_ and _BEFORE_GETKEY_" is a typo on my part.  i copied the
help text from the TSE 2.6 documentation and doctored it to match TSE
2.5, but i missed removing that reference.
regarding your example, i don't understand what you want F3, F4, and F5
to do.

Write your reply.

assistant: From: fred.holmes@mix.cpcug.org (FRED HOLMES)
I just received my new manuals and maintenance release for TSE
Pro 2.5.  Haven't really had time to do anything with them yet,
but the new, integrated, complete manuals will be great.
I note that the WHATSNEW.DOC file has a detailed recipe for
converting from TSEPRO 2.0 to 2.5.  It would be nice to also have
a detailed recipe for accomplishing the maintenance release
upgrade from 2.50a . . . to 2.50e (Perhaps I should RTFM; I
haven't looked in the paper book yet).  If it's there, then it
would be nice if the READ.ME file would point to it.
I know, I should know how to do it.  And in fact I do, in some
sense.  But anything I have to do that I haven't done for more
than a month has had the details fade from memory.  And while
what I've done with previous maintenance releases has "worked"
I'm not positively sure that I've actually done it completely
correctly.  With unimportant stuff, it's small loss if an error
is made.  But in accomplishing an upgrade, there are too many
ways to do real damage.
Is it a valid procedure to just install to the existing TSE
directory and let the install program do everything
automatically?  Without an explicit statement to that effect, I'm
reluctant to try.  It, of course, installs nicely to a new/
different location, which I always do first just to check out
that the installation disk is ok.  Then I do a backup (copy
new/newer) to my current TSE directory (backing it all up first
of course), and then burn-in TSE.UI and TSE.CFG.  Then I
recompile all my macros, including re-recompiling the ones that
came as .mac files in the maintenance release (The batch file
just compiles/recompiles *.s).  That seems to do it, but as an
unsophisticated computer user, I'm never quite sure.
TIA

Here's what I did, and it seems to work well:
1.  I installed the newd disks to a separate directory (TSE25e).
2.  I copied the new EXE files only  (e.exe & sc.exe) to my regular TSE25
directory.
3.  I copied the new files from the TSE25E/HELP directory to TSE25/HELP.
4.  I did NOT copy the new MAC files -- I'm satisfied with what I have had as
MAC files.
5.  Using the new E.EXE and SC.EXE files in my TSE25 directory, I installed
my personal UI file (EOS.UI) into the new TSE25E E.E.EXE.
Result:  Perfection.  Everything works as before -- totally transparent.
When I have time, I'll learn more about TSE25E -- but there is no reason not
to start using it right off!.

P.S.  Being a devout coward, I of course had backed up everything just in
case something might have gone wrong, so that I could have returned to the
original TSE25 version.  That turned out to be unnecessary, but is good
practice anyhow. It's so much easier to dump unneeded files that try to
recover them!

good documentation pays for itself. And online help (alone) is not good
documentation (unless it can be printed). You may judge for yourself if
the written manuals are any good. I have always found the manuals for
