Hi again Pete,


Looks like it's coming along nicely.  Here are a few notes that might help...


1.  Couldnt run the program because it would exit in file 'easinst.ew' line 29.
After i remmed this line out ie 'abort(0)' changed to '--abort(0)' it ran
    ok.
I ended up enumerating all the 'abort(0)' calls with ?1, ?2, ?3, etc
    followed by
'sleep(1)' so i would know where the program was aborting (the number would
    print out
    which would correlate to the particular abort call).  In other words:

    ?3 --typical
    sleep(1)
    abort(0)

2.  Cant find the 'column mode' text selection option which was working last
version.

3.  The only way to activate the upper window (with message area open) seems to
be to
    operate the scrollbar at least once.  The mouse click doesnt help sometimes.

4.  Sometimes typing at the end of the line until the caret reaches the vert
scrollbar
causes a caret to be permanently shown at the end of the line until some
    window
    update erases it.  This is rather superficial however because it doesnt seem
    to hurt anything else.

I havent tested everything yet, but at least this is a start right?


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
