pE - The perfect Editor
These notes are addendum to the printed pE manual.
They will update the manual at the next printing.
Release 2.23 notes
There is now a separate buffer used when block deletes
occur. The contents of this delete buffer may be pasted
into the main text buffer with a shift or control del
(delete key). This "block delete" buffer is overwritten
each time a block delete occurs.
Text may be cut and pasted by marking a block and using
the cut key, followed by the paste key. Text marked is
deleted by using the del key. It may be restored
anytime before the next block delete by pressing shift
or control del. There is no interaction between the
"scrap", "block delete", "line delete" and "line
segment" buffers. All are independent of each other.

Lines deleted with F4 or ^Y (delete line) can be restored with
F3 or ^U.
Line segments deleted with ^F4 or ^Qy can be restored with
^F3 or ^Qi.
Line number argument
pE will accept an optional line number to position to after
the filename argument:
pE [filename] [lineno]
this feature was added to allow other programs to pass a
filename and line number to position to, to pE. If the
lineno is in error pE will position to the closest
possible. pE file 9999 will position to the last line in
the file (or line number 9999 if it exists).
Release 2.40
Under the options menu has been added a feature enabling
the viewing of all active macros. These are macros either
just created during this session or ones that had been
stored in ENV.PED. You may choose "Show Macros" from the
option menu or assign a key via key.txt, or via the macro
process. The macros are displayed in a view only window.
To edit a macro you must first enter "record macro" (^F1)
and then type the key which invokes the macro.
Display lines is now dynamic. You may choose to change the
number of lines from 25 to 43/50 or vice versa. Saving
options saves the current state.
Insert/Replace mode as default is dynamic. You may switch
back and forth at will. Remember to save options if you
want to preserve settings over a session.
DESQVIEW aware. pE is now aware it is running under DV.
What this means essentially is that portions of the screen
will not be overwritten. Make sure you specify that pE
writes directly to screen ram. You may execute pE in
either 25 or 43/50 line mode, but you may not switch back
and forth inside of DESQVIEW.
Release 2.50
Print processor integrated with pE. This assures there
will (almost) always be sufficient memory to print from
within pE. PPRNT is still included in the registered
version as well as PCALC.
Several bug fixes. Show macros now works correctly for
macros that call other macros. Other bugs were either
relatively harmless or obscure.
Just Excellent!
