Configuring the Mouse ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ You can configure the mouse in either the basic marking mode or the advanced marking mode. The default is the basic marking mode. In the basic marking mode, the mark is only usable for deleting text or copying it to the clipboard Typing any text character deletes the marked text and replaces it with the entered character. The basic marking mode mouse actions are: Button 1 click Move cursor position to mouse pointer and unmark. Button 1 + Shift Mark text from cursor position to mouse pointer. Button 1 click and drag Mark text as you drag. Button 1 double-click Move cursor position to mouse pointer and mark the word. In advanced marking mode, a mark stays until you explicitly delete it or unmark. The advanced marking mode mouse actions are: Button 1 click Move cursor position to mouse pointer. Button 1 + Shift Mark text from cursor position to mouse pointer. Button 1 click and drag Block mark text as you drag. Button 2 click and drag Line mark text as you drag. If you start dragging inside a marked region, this will instead initiate a drag of the marked text. The text will be moved (or copied, if the Ctrl key is pressed as well) to wherever you drop it. Button 1 + Ctrl + drag Character mark text as you drag. Button 1 double-click Unmark text. Button 1 + Ctrl + double-click Ask for help for the token under the mouse pointer. Looks up the word in an index file (EPMKWHLP.NDX, or the file or files listed in the HELPNDX environment setting; multiple files must be separated by plus signs). Index files are provided by your applications, not as part of EPM. For example, the OS/2 2.0 Toolkit includes an EPMKWHLP.NDX, and the IBM C Set/2 compiler comes with a DDE4.NDX. The index file will be looked for in the current directory, along the EPMPATH, DPATH, in the directory from which EPM was loaded, and finally along the PATH. Button 2 double-click Move cursor position to mouse pointer and mark the (space-delimited) word. Button 2 + Ctrl + double-click Move cursor position to mouse pointer and mark the token according to the parsing rules for the C language. E.g., in the line: s = substr(string, start, end); placing the cursor somewhere on string and performing a Button 2 + Ctrl + double-click will result in just string being selected, while performing a Button 2 double-click will result in substr(string, being selected. Button 2 + Shift + double-click Search for the next occurrance of the token under the mouse cursor (parsed for the C language, as above). The search starts after the token. The current mark, if any, is not affected. To select advanced marking mode: 1. Select Options. 2. Select Preferences. 3. Select Advanced marking. To save the mark mode setting: 1. Select Options. 2.

Help for EPM Startup options. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ When starting EPM from an OS/2* command prompt, the following options can be specified: /Eexfilename Allows a custom .EX file to be specified. (The default is EPM.EX) /I Causes an EPM icon to be created. This icon can be used to drop onto to open up a new edit window. It can be used to start an edit window directly, by double-clicking on the icon or by activating the icon and pressing Enter. Finally, the icon is useful for keeping EPM active even after closing all open edit windows. The icon can be closed from the task manager, or by selecting it and pressing F3. /O Bypasses the simple dialogs and goes directly to the full dialogs. /M Gives the ability to start multiple instances of EPM. By default, if you attempt to start EPM twice, the second invocation will pass its arguments to the existing session, then exit. This option overrides this default. This is useful when calling EPM from a command file, if you want to be sure that control doesn't return to the .CMD file until the edit session has ended. quoted string Quoted string representing an editor command can be specified on the editor command line. For example: C:\> EPM mydoc.doc 'bot' This causes EPM to open an edit window containing the file mydoc.doc and then process the BOTTOM command, which scrolls the file to its end. filename One or more file names can be specified. For example: C:\> EPM mydoc.doc d:\yourdoc.doc herdoc.doc d:\him\hisdoc.doc wildcard One or more wildcards can be specified. For example: C:\> EPM *.doc d:\test\temp*.* ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Help for INI File Location ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ EPM stores configuration information in an EPM.INI file. When you start EPM for the first time, it asks you for the location of this file. If you have an EPM.INI file from a previous release, give the path to it here. If not, supply the directory where you would like the new one to be created. The default is C:\OS2, which is where OS/2* keeps its .INI files. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 136. Edit Ring ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ The term ring is often used interchangeably with edit window. This is because each edit window contains a ring, which contains one or more files, and each ring must be associated with an edit window. The current file is the file that is displayed by the edit window. Other files in the ring can be displayed by use of the Next File and Previous File operations. When you Add files, you begin to see why it's called a ring. You can move "forward" or "backward" around the ring, using the Next file and Previous file operations. When you add a new file to the ring, it is inserted after the current file, and then becomes the current file. Initially, the ring is disabled, and you are limited to only one file per window. Related Information: Enabling the edit ring ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 136.1. Enabling the Edit Ring ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ To enable the edit ring or load multiple files: 1. Select Options. 2. Select Preferences. 3. Select Ring enabled. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 137. Stream Versus Line Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ There are two basic types of editors for editing text files, a stream editor and a line editor. A stream editor treats the file as one long stream of text. A line editor treats the file as a series of individual lines, separated by a line end character. Stream mode In a stream editor, a new-line character (generally an ASCII line-feed character) is treated like any other character. It can be inserted into the text stream, breaking the line into two at that point, or it can be deleted from the text stream, joining the two lines on either side of it. As you move the cursor left and right, when it passes the beginning or end of one line, it moves to the end or beginning of the next - because although you see individual lines on the display, it's actually one long stream internally. Also, when you move the cursor up and down, if you move it over a shorter line, the cursor bounces to the left; if you continue moving it up or down to a longer line, it bounces back to the original column. Line mode EPM is a line editor. If you move the cursor left or right, it stays on that line. You can move the cursor beyond the end of the line. If you do so, and then start typing text, the editor will fill in spaces between the previous end of the line and the characters you have added. Since the new-line character does not actually exist in the file once loaded, there is no concept of inserting or deleting a new-line. Pressing the Enter key (by default; another key can be chosen) adds a new line after the current line, but it doesn't split the line; it adds a new, empty line between the current line and the following line, regardless of the cursor position. Since some users are accustomed to using a stream-mode editor, EPM can be configured to act like one. Related Information: Enabling stream-mode editing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 137.1. Enabling Stream-Mode Editing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ To enable stream-mode editing: 1. Select Options. 2. Select Preferences. 3. Select Stream editing. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 138. Bookmarks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A bookmark is a reference to a particular point in a file. When a bookmark is created, it is given a name, which is associated with the character at the cursor position. If that character is moved around in the file, the bookmark moves with it. If that character is deleted, the bookmark is deleted along with it. If a bookmark is set as a permanent bookmark, it is saved when the file is saved, and reloaded when the file is loaded. The bookmark is stored as an extended attribute. If the file is edited with an editor that does not preserve extended attribute information, the bookmarks will be lost. If a file containing bookmarks is edited with an editor that does preserve attributes, but cannot handle EPM's bookmarks, then the line and column information will not be updated, and the next time the file is loaded into EPM, the bookmarks might not be accurate. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 139. Tags file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ A tags file is a file listing where all procedures are defined in a set of programming language source files. After a tags file has been built, you can press a key while looking at a function call and jump to the file and location where that function is defined. Support is included for building a tags file from C, ASM, E, and Pascal files. Support for additional languages can be added via macro programming. EPM will support a tags file built by other programs that include just a procedure name and file name on each line. The tags files built by EPM contain the procedure name, filename, line number on which the procedure was found, and a timestamp for the file. When asked to find a procedure, the timestamp of the file on disk is checked. If it's the same as the timestamp in the tags file, then the line number is jumped to directly; if not, the procedure is searched for, When the MAKETAGS command is invoked, if the tags file already exists, each source file that would be searched is checked for in the tags file. If found, the timestamp is compared with the timestamp of that file on disk. If the file has not been modified, it will be skipped. If the file date is different, then all entries for that file in the tags file will be deleted before searching the source file. If a file is searched and no procedures are found, a dummy procedure name of '*' will be added to the tags file. This lets EPM record the timestamp for that file, so the next time MAKETAGS is run that source file need not be rechecked if it has not been updated. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 140.
