Hallo AC,

A> What are the differences between MicroEd and Plain Windows?

Mainly  the  wrapping and the free caret (in MicroEd you can place the
cursor  anywhere and start typing, with the Windows editor you need to
insert  the  correct  number  of empty lines and the correct number of
spaces)
Also the Windows editor starts a new line at the beginning and MicroEd
starts it at the same 'tab' as the previous line.
   More like this
   and this

A> Question #2:
A> What does Auto-Format do?  Please be detailed, I don't get it.

I don't know everything. ;-)
It  doesn't  like  new  lines,  when  hit enter and continue typing it
continues  on  the same line. To really start a new line you've got to
start  a new paragraph: hit enter twice so you've got an empty line in
between.
When  you start typing in the middle of some text it keeps on wrapping
everything correctly instead of what you experience with question 5.

That  way your contact will see what you see as the size of his window
and yours don't have to be the same. Kinda nice for tables and such.
It's  also  for  compatibility  with  text  mode  systems and prevents
problems with PGP for instance.
You can set the length of the lines yourself.

If  your  contact  sees  things  different from what you see then he's
probably  using  a font that doesn't have all characters with the same
width. (Google for proportional and non-proportional fonts) TB alligns
with spaces and if your contact sees those with a different width...

It doesn't happen with the Windows editor, nor does it happen when you
enable auto-format.
