1. NumPad Enter key on Win XP
Dear Sirs
Is the first time I'm using Euphoria on WinXp
The ED problem with spaces in the path was solved, thanks Rob.
Now I have also noted that the Enter key in the NumPad don't work on ED.
The program key.ex when run with ex returns 13 in both Enter keys,
but running with EXW or EXWC returns 13 in the "alphabetic enter"
and returns 284 with the Numpad enter. Is the same for all of you?
So the line 1248 in ED.EX was: }}}
<eucode>if char = CR or char = 10 then</eucode>
{{{
I changed to: }}}
<eucode>if char = CR or char = 10 or char = 284 then</eucode>
{{{
Now appears to work well.
Please, now the people that uses Linux or plain DOS must to check if this
change cause problems in other plataforms.

I continue checking and note that also line 2277 in ed.exe
must to changed to accept key 284 (NumPad Enter), may be
there is other places in the program where user key is compared
with CR variable, and you must to do similar corrections.
Line 2277 is now:
elsif key = CR or key = 284 then
By sure other special keys reported as not working on exwc
have diferent code that when working on ex.exe and you must
to do similar corrections on ed.ex and other programs.

Hi
Edita is a windows specific program, so proably doesn't need key translations.
However, what I would probably do, to make this clear, is define
constant NUM_PAD_ENTER = 284
at the top of the program,
then, instead of the above use
elsif key = CR or key = NUM_PAD_ENTER then
If you want to do cross platform key entry stuff, then use the platform()
function.

the euphoria wiki, is a good place to start, it includes a lot, but probably not
all,
key equivalencies.
Chris
ps, I still think euwiki is an under used snippet resource, post more!

Early this morning I have uploaded an ed.ex to user contributions, now is
in RDS web, but now I discover an error, I have uploaded an updated patched
ed.ex, so please don't download the file and wait that RDS update the file
in the web page.
When you edit ed.ex and use the Esc E, the program launched with ex.exe,
not exwc!!, so I thinked with this three small corrections was all fixed,
but was not this way.
I have submited a more complete correction (not sure if is the final one).
This includes the NUM_PAD_ENTER variable as suggested by Chris, the variable
has been defined as special key in the program. Linux, FreeBSD and plain DOS
user may need to adjust the value of this variable.
Also I want to suggest that the installer on Windows must to create a exw.bat
to launch key.ex using windows interpreter, many people don't know that the
key.ex program don't return the same codes on ex.exe and exwc.exe
