QED-WP Version 2.1 9/17/88
WordPerfect emulation for QEDIT versions 2.06
by Randy Brook, Seattle, WA
Public Domain
I have seen several attempts to emulate WordPerfect
function keys with QEDIT. To my view, they deviate far more
from WP than is actually necessary. This file attempts to
track WP function key definitions as closely as possible.
Of course, there will be differences and a few tradeoffs.
For instance, I have moved the Help key to F1, in order to
leave all of F3 for variations on the Window theme.
I haven't come up with a use for F8 (underline),
though the other three F3 choices are format related.
HOME+cursor works as in WP. Ctrl-PgDown goes to end of the
document, rather than deleting to the end of the page.
Variations in the block commands are inherent in QEDIT,
although they are still pretty close to WP. The biggest
difference is that hitting alt-F4 a second time places a
block end marker, but you aren't obliged to use this
feature.
This file is public domain. I do not believe it is
legally possible to copyright a set of key definitions that
simply track WordPerfect and QEDIT. I suppose the layout of
the help screen could be copyrighted, but that would be a
bit ridiculous.
However, QEDIT is copyrighted and is shareware.
To use these files, run QCONFIG, select K for keys,
and name QEDWP.KEY for the key definition file. Then select
H for help, and name QEDWP.HLP for the help file.
By the way, if you have an enhanced keyboard (12
function keys across the top), you can print the QEDWP.HLP
file and get a keyboard template to use.
** New in version 2.1. Added "Insert_Date" as shft-F5.
Note that QEDIT uses an odd date format:
DAY [abbreviated 3 chars] dd/mm/yyyy
Changed Help screen to reflect above change, and renamed
ctrl-F3 from DoDos to DosCmd, in either case meaning execute
a DOS command without actually shelling out to DOS.
