- line numbering, assignment of the print device, adjustable line spacing, and

- You should have the following files:
-
- Only file needed to run the editor:
- ───────────────────────────────────
- DEMO.EXE The demo version of TSE. All of the other files are
- supplemental.
-
- Supplemental files. While these files aren't absolutely needed (you can pick
- and choose which ones you want), many are quite useful:
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- TSEHELP.HLP The abridged context sensitive help for this demo version.
-
- COMPILE.MAC The standard CompileCurrentFile command. Supports many
- compilers (adding others is a breeze) including Borland/Turbo
- C/Pascal, Microsoft C/Fortran, Watcom C, and many others.
- COMPILE.DAT Compiler setup database.
-
- ICONFIG.MAC The standard Full Configuration command.
-
- TEMPLATE.MAC The standard Template command. This one is a real time saver.
- TEMPLATE.DAT The template database.
-
- POTPOURR.MAC The standard Potpourri command. One can only remember so many
- keys. As menus grow, they become less useful. Potpourri to
- the rescue! This handy command presents a 'picklist' of
- SemWare supplied macros. It can be supplemented as much as
- you like.
- POTPOURR.DAT The potpourri database.
-
-
- The following macros are all available via the Potpourri. Many more (over 30)

- word-completion database.
- EXPR.MAC A integer calculator.
