Hi Avi, (BTW, is this correct? Is "Avi" your first name?)

Currently, a hard enter in the MicroEd does not end AY> the paragraph and start a new paragraph. It takes two hard enters to AY> achieve that. You're telling me. :-( AY> So let me give one example of something I would hope to get from a AY> Shift-Enter. Let's say that you want to enter something on the AY> immediate next line - for example, you have given a quotation and AY> now you are giving the source of that quote. And let's say that AY> you want to format that immediate next line - the source of the AY> quote - in a different way, say right-justified instead of AY> left-justified. With a Shift-Enter to get to that next line - an AY> enforced new paragraph - then should you need to reformat the AY> preceding material (for example, with an Alt-L), it would not AY> affect the format of the material on the next line (that you had AY> formatted with an Alt-R). Yes, I'm with you absolutly. This in fact is my basic complaint with MicroEd, not being able to handle a single "Enter" as an "end this paragraph and start a new line" as in every other editor I know of. But why do you need two keys do do it? Press enter once, end up in the next line. Press it again, insert one extra line. The only reason I can see to have "enter" AND "shift-enter" would be the exact opposite of your example: To have something (like the source of the quote in your example) on the next line, immidiatly after the quote itself, not being mingled with the quote when Alt-L is used, but still affected when you change the basic format such as justification. Using your example, if you pressed Alt-L in the quote the source would still be under it in a seperate line, but if you changed from left-justified to right-justified the quote source in its seperate line would also go right. This would be the only case in which you would need a seperate "shift-enter", to start a line, yet "still leave the two connected for formatting". Could be useful, while I personally wouldn't need that. What I needed was a clean "end-of-paragraph, continue in next line". There currently is no such thing in MicroEd, instead you have to insert a superflous empty line to help MicroEd recognizing the change of paragraph. AY> Okay, I know that this is not the way that MS Word works. And maybe AY> this is not what others are looking for. But this would help me a lot AY> when I do things like: AY> ________________________ AY> The devil made me do it. AY> Flip Wilson AY> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I still don't see why you should need a shift-enter to do it. The problem with the current realization is no issue, I'm with you all the way. But why the two keys if you specifically don't want formatting being applied to "the other" paragraph, too? -- MfG, Alto mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
