1. Question about ed.ex
I wanted to switch off the beep when you execute
a program from inside the editor, so I looked
at ed.ex and its included files, thinking it would
be easy to locate and disable, but... I can't see
that Ctrl-G anywhere! Help, someone?

1) If you look in "library.doc" under system(s, i), you'll see 3 options =
for i. The editor uses option 1, which restores the graphics mode and =
beeps. If you want to get rid of the beep, change the line that =
executes your program to option 0.
2) My 2-cents on syntax... For 0-base sequences, I agree w/ Rob. I =
haven't needed 0-base except rarely, and the conversion was easier to do =
in-line. I like the idea of very_long_sequence_name[half_way..end] =
instead of having to type length(~~) every time. To avoid shrouding =
conflicts, you CAN'T use short names for important or global variables. =
I also agree with the idea of global exception handling, perhaps =
including a procedure code so we can identify where the exception came =
from (although some may say this sounds too OO).
3) If anyone is interested, I have some routines for an AI system =
(language recognition) available. However, I've been too busy to do =
much with them recently -- I've gotta learn Java :(
Ebeda-ebeda--That's all folks!
