What's New Fenimore's Macro Suite
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Modified: ALT B, D, F, H, X;
ASCII, ALTKEY, CTRLKEY, DP, FN, SHFKEY
The following are the most recent changes made to the Macro Suite:
ALT B
11 Dec1 Minor change to Quotes. Added checking for a hard
return at the current cursor location. Now, if a
space OR a hard return is found, the quotes are
placed next to each other and the cursor moved
between them. Without this check for the hard return
I found that the close quote would often end up on
the next line (after the hard return). (Version
3.34f)
11 Dec1 Minor change made to Multiple Enhancements. Added a
prompt to show which options being added. As each
option is added to the document it is stripped from
the displayed list options chosen. This display is
particularly useful for slower systems and provides
feedback that something is actually being done. Fast
machines'll probably see a quick blip of info...
(Version 3.34g)
ALT D
12 Dec1 Moved an identifier variable to earlier in the macro
to allow proper menu display under certain
circumstances. (Version 3.8d2)
ALT F
1 Dec1 Initial version capable of retrieving up to two
documents out of a maximum total of 4 of the most
recently edited documents. User must identify the
document(s) to retrieve, in any order, up to 2 in
quantity. If both document screens are empty the user
may request two documents, otherwise only 1 may be
retrieved. (Version 4.00)
5 Dec1 Revised the retrieve algorithm for better efficiency.
Order of document request is order of retrieval (in
other words, the numbers 31 will retrieve document #3
to document screen 1 and document #1 to document
screen #2. Added the ability to remove 1 or more
files from the autoretrieve data file. Removing all
will cause the macro to terminate after informing
that there are no files to retrieve. (Version 4.01)
10 Dec1 If Multiple Save was called immediately after a file
rename, the process of returning to the "original
path and file name" would result in a reset of the
file to its original and not the newly provided name.
(Version 4.01a)
11 Dec1 If you don't want to choose from the AutoRetrieve
file selections hit the EXIT key and you'll enter
into the DIRECTORY macro (ALTD). (Version 4.01b)
12 Dec1 Made a few minor changes so that when ASCII is called
just after a file rename (and before it has actually
been saved) it knows that the current file does
indeed have a name. (Version 4.02)
13 Dec1 Made some minor changes to support a call from ALTX
during a document exit. This change basically
involved moving document exit responsibility from
ALTF to ALTX if EXIT was chosen at the ALTF menu
requesting the user to provide a file name (for a
file without a name). (Version 4.02a)
13 Dec1 Made some minor changes to allow the normal ALTF
message line above the main menu when called by ALTX
during a document exit. (Version 4.02b)
ALTH
14 Dec1 Finally placed a less terse menu in the main help
menu. Added the space bar to the options which'll
quit the help macro. (Version 2.11)
15 Dec1 Added options which the help macro recognizes:
A = AltKey, C = CtrlKey; UpArrow or S = ShfKey
(Version 2.11a)
ALT X
1 Dec1 Initial version which updates the autoretrieve file.
A maximum of four filenames are stored in the
autoretrieve file. Files with the same file
specification have their cursor location information
updated. Files with the same name but different path
are considered "new" and are added to the
autoretrieve file. New files are added to the bottom
of the file and removed from the top of the file. The
number of files indicator located within the
AutoRetrieve file is also updated. (Version 4.00)
5 Dec1 Added handling for a file with 0 records and the
handling for a non-existent autoretrieve file.
(Version 4.01)
13 Dec1 Made a change in how an exit from document was
performed. If the file had no name and EXIT was
chosen from the ALTF submenu (asking the user to
provide a file name) the document might be exited.
Additionally, it the ALTX option chosen was "D" no
document switch (from document screen 1 to document
screen 2, for instance) would occur. This was fixed.
(Version 4.01a)
15 Dec1 A WordPerfect exit message is now displayed during
the exit procedure. (Version 4.01b)
ASCII
12 Dec1 Made some changes to allow detection of a filename
which has a name in memory (but which isn't yet a
WordPerfect System name). This occurs ASCII is
called after a file with no name has been given a
name but which hasn't yet been saved to disk. The
ASCII main menu was modified for additional clarity
(less terse). Added the option SAVE to supplement
the ENTER key option. This provides a more visual
clue as to what the user must do to save an ASCII
file. The menu now identifies Original and ASCII
NAMES instead of FILES. The menu options line now
identifies to what those options refer (the ASCII
file rather than the original). (Version 2.01)
14 Dec1 Hitting the EXIT key exits ASCII and executes the
FILES (ALTF) macro. (Version 2.01a)
DP
12 Dec1 Made some menu initialization changes for calling
macros. (Version 1.0h)
13 Dec1 Made a minor change to allow a "re-initialization" of
a main menu variable used by ALTF after called by
ALTX. (Version 1.0i)
FN
12 Dec1 Made some minor changes to help menu displays of
information (minor tweaks). (Version 1.41c)
ALTKEY
14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the
current menu/help screen and re-enter the HELP main
menu.
CTRLKEY
14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the
current menu/help screen and re-enter the HELP main
menu.
SHFKEY
14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the
current menu/help screen and re-enter the HELP main
menu.
