      AMAC41.ZIP QEdit Macros,  Written By Tom Hogshead             8/26/91
      ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

      AMAC41.ZIP contains over 250 QEdit macros.  More than 25 new macros
      have been added in ver 4.1, including those in BOOKxx.QM using the
      new technique of a "macro reading a macro" to significantly expand
      QEdit macro buffer space, and new macros in BUFFxx.QM to access and
      manipulate Scratch Buffers with the last accessed buffer name at the
      request for buffer name prompt.

      The user is required to configure many of these macros to the
      directory containing the AMAC files, then re-compile using QMAC.
      AMACxx.ZIP is uploaded to CompuServe IBMAPP Lib 0 (Lib 1 after 30
      days in Lib 0), Exec-PC (414-789-4210), and SemWare (404-641-8968).
      Following macros are in AMAC41.ZIP:

   1. BOOKxx.QM are a series of macros to place () around selected words
      in QEdit documents as bookmarks. Getting to a desired location in a
      document and reading an unlimited number of macros is almost
      instantaneous. Expands macro buffer space. See also JMPPOSxx.QM.
   2. BUFF12.QM contains macros to access and manipulate Scratch Buffers   |
      the same as StoreScrBuff, AppendScrBuff and GetScrBuff do except the |
      last accessed buffer name is entered at the buffer name prompt.  All |
      currently loaded Scratch Buffers may also be saved and reloaded at   |
      the next edit session.                                               |
   3. CENTxx.QM are QEdit macros to center lines/paragraphs/documents.
   4. COMTxx.QM contains macros to comment and un-comment lines, blocks,
      paragraphs, macros, C programs, and dBase lines. Also has macros to
      insert and delete text at beginning of lines or blocks, macro to
      speed up batch file running, and macros to make and remove boxes
      surrounding text with any border.
   5. DATExx.QM for Date in English 'March 9, 1991', not 'Sat 03-09-1991'
      and Time in Standard '5:26 pm', not Military '17:26:37'.
   6. DELSPxx.QM macros may be used to delete leading spaces from various
      lines in the file currently being edited.
   7. FILExx.QM QEdit macros allow the user to select files from a list to
      either load, delete, read a macfile, save a read-only file, or save
      files with the name either 09141025.EXT or file NAME.914. Spell
      check macros with ShareSpell. Macros to save files without backups,
      and delete and edit backups. Cursor position and scroll macros.
   8. JMPPOS11 contains QEdit macros to provide an alternative to the
      "bookmarking" macros in BOOKxx.QM. The JMPPOS macros allow the user
      to set "Position Markers" at various points in a file, then jump
      quickly to the next or previous position marker from anywhere in the
      file or across files.
   9. MACRxx.QM contains QEDIT macros to easily convert macros to and
      from text/binary using QMAC.
  10. MENUxx.QM is the beginning of a QEdit menuing system.
  11. PAGExx.QM QEdit macros "paginate" documents and QMAC txtfiles so
      page break locations can be seen and moved for better readability.
  12. PAUSExx.QM macros make any portion of a QEdit macro marked as a
      block a "single step" macro by entering a "pause" before the each
      macro command in the block. Macros are included to revert a single
      step macro to normal operation.
  13. QLSTxx.QM contains macros that enables QEdit to load a list of files
      from a FileList of unlimited length. These may be two of the broadly
      most useful macros so far.
  14. RFRMxx.QM contains macros to reformat QEDIT blocks, paragraphs and
      documents. Asterisks can be added and deleted in front of lines or
      blocks for commenting. Number of words in a document can be counted.
      Deletes extra blank lines in documents. Capitalize first letter of
      every word in block. Double and triple space documents. Left and
      right justify blocks and documents.
  15. RINGxx.QM macros emulate PC Magazine FILECTRL.COM enabling the user
      to know what files are in the ring, in what order, and the
      capability to load a file in the ring *without* having to nextfile
      through the ring. Files may be loaded from a list of files at the
      command line or from a Pick List of files in the ring while editing.
  16. SIZExx.QM are QEdit macros that quickly shows the byte size of
      MACROS. Size is added to the end of the macro with an asterisk in
      column 1. See DSIZ.QM for macro to give directory sizes in
      descending order.
  17. SRCHxx.QM  are QEdit macros to search/replace and search only using
      FGREP and MAXFIND. Only files containing the search text are loaded
      automatically, and then the desired search/replace is performed.
      Search/replace may be run from the command line or while editing
      files. Search or search/replace may be also performed on ZIP files
      without manually unzipping and rezipping.
  18. TIMERxx.QM are macros enabling the user to measure execution time of
      QEdit macro command sequences with unparalleled accuracy and
      versatility.  Timing macro commands provides the capability to
      optimize macros for speed. Relative speed of many commands are
      compared.  The number of repeats can be timed from 1 to 100,000 for
      different command sequences.
  19. TOGLxx.QM contains QEdit macros to toggle Insert, AutoIndent,
      WordWrap, EnterMatching and BoxDraw ON, and toggle Backups OFF.
