indicated position.
* Qedit renumbers existing lines to make room for new lines, if
you have not done Set Vis Renum Off.
* Control-Y in POSIX no longer aborts Qedit father processes.
* Qedit Help files now come in Windows WinHelp format.
* Set Terms Columns nnn adjusts the display width of your
terminal.
Browse Mode
* Text file,Browse copies a file into Qedit, but will not let you
modify it.
* Open file,Browse also opens a Qedit workfile, but prevents you
from editing it.
* Browse mode protects you from making unplanned changes to a
file and does not update the Mod-Date of the file.
Edit Several Files at Once
* Qedit can supply up to eight extra scratch files.
* Do Text filename,New or TJ filename to create an extra scratch
file for a file you are Texting.
* The New command without parameters creates an extra scratch
file for a new document that does not yet have anything to
Text.
Improvements to the Open Command
* Set Open Defer On enables "deferred write access" on Open
command.
* Open filename,Defer and Open filename,Nodefer override Set Open
Defer.
* Verify Open shows you the nine most recently Opened files.
* Open? lets you select which of the recently opened files to
Open.
* Open *-1, *-2, and so on, opens the recently accessed file of
your choice.
* When you do an Open command from the Home line in Screen mode
or from the Next command? prompt, Qedit immediately displays
the current screen of the new file.
Screen Mode Improvements
* Reflection for Windows 5.0 now supports up to 512 columns.
* Set Vis Buf increases or decreases the size of the screen
buffer.
* Qedit detects when Set Suspend should be Off.
Compatibility
We have made two changes that are incompatible with earlier
versions of Qedit.
Now Assume You Don't Have a Type Ahead Engine
To make Qedit Screen mode work with Telamon's Type Ahead Engine,
you must now do Set Vis Tae On (the default is now Off). The
default in Qedit used to be Set Vis Tae On, which meant that Qedit
assumed you had a Telamon TAE. Set Vis Tae On causes Qedit to
send ^A "V" on entry to Screen mode and ^A "A" on exit. Some
non-TAE users saw the "V" or "A" on their screens. The default is
now Off, since many users have terminal emulators with type ahead
capability.
Automatic Renumber
In the Add command Qedit now automatically renumbers to make room
for lines, unless Set Vis Renum is Off. In the past Qedit
generated an error if there were not enough line numbers. If you
need the old logic in some batch job or command file, you can
disable automatic renumber by doing set vis renum off.
Known Problems
None.
Documentation
If you wish to print copies of the revised user manual, use the
file Qedit.Doc.Robelle. To print it on your printer, whether
LaserJet or line printer, run the Printdoc program.
:run printdoc.pub.robelle
Printdoc is menu-driven and very easy to use. Printdoc asks you
for information, and if you are not sure of the answer, you can
ask for help by typing a question mark (?). Printdoc supports all
types of LaserJet printers and regular line printers.
You can also print documentation other than user manuals, if you
know the filename. If you wish, you can include the filename in
the :Run command. For example, to print this change notice, type
:run printdoc.pub.robelle;info="qedit.docchg.robelle"
Documentation in WinHelp Format
The Qedit and Qedit for HP-UX user manuals are now available in
the popular Microsoft Windows WinHelp file format. A
self-extracting file that includes the Help files and a Setup
program has been put on your tape. Use the installation
instructions to install the WinHelp files on your PC.
