Changes in V3.5
===============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
^ Scrolling by wheelmouse works a bit different. The number of lines by
which text is scrolled depends now on window height (see WHEELSTEP). If
you have no wheelmouse you can simulate wheel movements by Alt-Down and
Alt-Up.
+ Option WHEELSTEP/K/N: determines the fraction of lines in the window
by which text is scrolled. Example: 30 lines are visible, WHEELSTEP=5.
Result: Text is scrolled by 30/5 = 6 lines per wheel movement. Default
is WHEELSTEP=6.
+ Conversion of AmigaWriter documents.
File type: AW
^ Maximal window width increased to 132 rows or 800 pixels. Window can
be sized up to that limit.
^ Actions by F1/F2/F3 keys somewhat improved. Try yourself.
^ MSWord conversion: automatic numbering of footnotes didn't work with
more than 130 notes. Now number of footnotes is almost unlimited (Word8+).
^ Execute: If CMD="<cmd> %s" %s will be enclosed by quotation marks
before opening the Execute requester. Usefull if name of current file
contains spaces. CMD="<cmd> "%s"" doesn't work.
^ New file type XML. XML files are converted better, especially PAD files
(Portable Application Description).
- Wrong version number in titles of font- and filerequesters
- BUG: Introduction of the SCREEN option in Next3.2 disabled search with
wildcards.
* Copy is now performed by Shift-C, copy to clipboard (Clip block) by
Amiga-C. For the count functions "K" must be used instead of "C"
(K, Shift-K, Amiga-K)
