I never did find out what the problem with my MicroEd editor was BUT I did fix it! I saw a tip o' the day that mentioned CTRL-O_C and CTRL-O_K. Not knowing what these keystrokes did I tried them. It is obvious how they cause the editor to block differently. The important thing is that after simply trying them out NOW my MicroEd editor works as I would have supposed it to all along! CRTL-left & CRTL-right now block correctly. Inserting works, deleting works. NONE of these basic functions were working before trying CTRL-O_C and CTRL-O_K! I would highlight something and press delete and only the last highlighted character would delete; forget pasting, which NEVER worked. The remaining keystroke oddities are not in the message editor (thankfully) but do still exist when editing fields (TO, CC, BCC, SUBJECT, etc) in the header. There is something I do need to ask about now that (it seems) the editor is working correctly... Why does it automatically move lines of text up to the end of the previous line now? Example: --[space] Rich something becomes: --[space] Rich something If I type almost ANYTHING on those lines! Put a space in, it all becomes one line. Add a line beneath, it all becomes one line. I wish I could find out what was wrong in the first place, but I do not know how to recreate the strangeness I experienced. Thank you all for you gracious patience. -- Rich using MicroEd and learning ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
