A QEdit Tip from the SemWare Technical Support Staff
.. QEdit TSR's Benefits ..
Have you ever been in a program and wanted to simply jot a note
to yourself? Have you ever had the need to take a quick look at
a document, but the program you were in had no shell option?
Then, QEdit TSR, the memory resident version of QEdit, is for
you!
As a memory-resident version of QEdit Advanced, QEdit TSR
(Terminate and Stay Resident) resides in the background, giving
you the power of QEdit with a single keystroke, but without
having to exit the file you're working in. Unlike more familiar
TSR programs, QEdit TSR utilizes a unique swapping feature to
provide the benefits of a TSR without draining precious memory.
QEdit TSR uses less than 9k memory, and when popped up swaps
your current applications out of memory and into extended/
expanded memory or to disk. In this configuration, you can edit
files up to 400k in size.
QEdit TSR contains all of the QEdit v2.15 commands plus four
additional commands. These are described below along with the
default key combination for each.
GrabScreen <Ctrl F10> - reads in the contents of the screen, as
it appeared when you popped up QEdit TSR as a marked block
at your current cursor position, and inserts it into the
current file as a marked block. The GrabScreen command
behaves as if you were using the QEdit Advanced ReadBlock
command.
GoBack <ESC><Q><G> - returns you to your DOS application, in the
exact configuration as when you left it. The GoBack command
can be customized to prompt you to save edited files. This
is done by using QTCONFIG, QEdit TSR's configuration
program.
Purge <ESC><Q><P> - purges QEdit TSR from memory after first
prompting the user to save any changed files.
TsrPaste - "pastes" a marked block into the foreground
application. TsrPaste does not have a default keyboard
assignment. To use this command, follow these steps:
1) When the foreground application is waiting for input, pop
up QEdit TSR.
2) Within QEdit TSR, mark a block of text and stuff it into
the keyboard buffer with the [TsrPaste] command
(available as the last item on the "Quit" pulldown menu).
3) Quit QEdit TSR and return to the foreground application
by issuing the [GoBack] command, and the text will be
immediately pasted into the foreground application.
Notes: Each line that is pasted, including single lines, has a
carriage return appended to it.
Although QEdit TSR has all the features QEdit Advanced is famous
for, most users want a non-TSR editor as well. For this reason,
QEdit TSR currently comes bundled with a separate copy of QEdit
Advanced. Registered users may purchase only the TSR software
at a discount over the full TSR package price. Please call us
