- NOTES -
-
- o New Alpha features.
- o David Black's 'electricAlias' package. Read the help file (from the
- Help menu) and check it out!
- o An improved LaTeX mode, although an even better version should be on
- the way soon (Right, Tom?).
- o Bug fixes.
-
- Remember, if you want to use anything other than the US KCHR resource
- (si vous voulez ecrire en francais, par exemple), change the line:
-
- init 0 2
-
- of AlphaBits.tcl to
-
- init1 2
-
- and restart. Alpha will now use your native KCHR, but the key binding labels
- (such as F1 etc.) may not work, and option-e etc. are now "dead keys".
-
- By default, the option key is used as a META key, duplicating escape
- key sequences. To use the option key to create option characacter
- combinations, change the line:
-
- set optionIsMeta 1
-
- to:
-
- set optionIsMeta 0
-
- See the Changes file for a list of changes and additions. Look in the
- Help menu for information on David's 'electricAlias' package, activate
- through the "Misc" menu. Send me mail if you questions on anything, and
- on my next Designated Alpha Night I may get back to you...

- Tcl was originally written for unix-like systems. These systems typically
- do not have many special characters in their file names. Initially, tcl
- refused to work even w/ pathnames that contain spaces. The Tcl source
- itself works fine w/ these names, but tcl scripts have to be careful in
- how the names are manipulated. This problem gets even worse if the
- filename contains square brackets ('[' and ']'). I've fixed all the
- scripts that I've found choke on pathnames w/ spaces, but many of them
- still don't work w/ square brackets.
