Good catch. In eaqj.ew, there are two instances of

void = c_func(xSetBkMode , {wParam, TRANSPARENT})
	return {backBrush}

which need a

void = c_func(xSetTextColor, {wParam, ColourTab[Other]})

before them.

While I've disabled the toolbar and menu entries for .ew files on request, you
can still press F5 to do this.

Strange, they work fine here.

Thanks, I'll fix that.

Assuming you have installed in C:\Program Files\Edita, it checks for
C:\Program Files\Edita\docs\manual.htm.
