I am experimenting with a Euphoria pgm on as many platforms as I can get to. I noticed some anomalies on an 55sx w/ 8514 display: don't know if the 55sx or the 8514 was the instigator. ctrl-delete did not delete a line in ED. text colors were not displayed in ED. The menu bar was colored properly, but all text was presented in black on a gray background - no red for comments, nor green for sequences, etc. The interactive trace screen worked properly, but was presented as white text on a black background. Many other euphoria functions worked properly. Message-Id: <960623.130452.EST.JDKINNE@MIAMIU> John Kinne

I think it is kind of obsolete now. > ctrl-delete did not delete a line in ED. Yes, I've found that some machines do not support control-delete. That's why I also allow control-d for line deletion. > text colors were not displayed in ED.

Both the editor and the trace screen call video_config(). ed will turn off color syntax highlighting if it believes it is working with a mono monitor. I'm not sure how the WATCOM routine that Euphoria calls is determi ning this, but the 8514 must be confusing it. Thanks for the info. I haven't run Euphoria on a machine like this before.
