1. GUI/Editor Update

The latest version of my text-based GUI/Editor (how's that for an oxymoron?
Better than "TUI", though) is on Robert's Web page.

I've re-done the call routines to the GUI, so it should be much easier to
code to. There is a demo program included in the documentation explaining
how it all works. Please note that code written to the prior version of the
GUI will *not* work, but the conversion is not difficult. As usual, feel
free to drop me an e-mail if you run into problems, or have questions about
how it all works.

Although there are not been a lot of visible changes to the editor, I've
made quite a number a lot of behind-the-scenes changes. The program seems to
be stable, but since I've re-coded *all* the editor routines to the new GUI
calls, there is a chance that a new bug or two creeped in. If you encounter
any problems, please let me know.

The main (visible) changes of interest are:

   - Multiple screen resolutions
   - Mono/Color VGA detect
   - Alt-Gr key supported

And, as usual, the usual list of bug fixes, large and small.

2. GUI/Editor Update

After a failed e-mail on my end, I hopefully sent my latest update to my
GUI/Editor to Robert this morning, so I'm hoping that it will be posted by
this evening. Features include:

* When toggling between the files by pressing Alt+<digit>, releasing the
  Alt key places you back in the edit text, not the menu.

* When you select Search or Replace, the value is automatically filled
  in with text that is selected, or the word the cursor is currently on.

* The two help files supplied with Euphoria, LIBRARY.DOC and REFMAN.DOC
  are now accessible from the menus.

* The ASCII code of the character the cursor is on is now displayed in
  the status line.

* I've made some more changes to the Alt+Gr logic that I *hope* will take
  care of the problems the prior update created. I don't have a foreign
  keyboard to test this out with, so if *you* do, please test this out and
  tell me how it works (or *doesn't* work).

I've got another update that should be posted in a couple days that:

  - integrates my pre-processor, PP
  - allows binding from within the editor
  - adds (weak) print support via EPRINT

Let me know how it works!
