While the left button is still down, clicking the right button brings the cursor back to its original cursor position and stops scrolling. Double-clicking the left button marks the start of a selection block. Double-clicking the middle button marks the start of a veritcal selection block. Holding down the left button and clicking the middle button creates a fold. Holding down the middle button and cliking the right button toggles the fold under the cursor from shown to hidden and back. ** Note that the middle mouse button is not available on the standard Amiga mouse and is only enabled under AmigaDOS 2.0 Status Area Information ----------------------- The letters in the status area have the following meaning: B/b Make Backups (B=On, b=Off) C/c Case Correct (C=On, c=Off) F/f Free Form (F=On, f=Off) I/i Auto-Indent (I=On, i=Off) M/m Document modified since last save?

General ------- This file presents changes or enhancements made to TurboText after the documentation was printed. It also contains any outstanding bugs found in this release of the product. Bugs and corrections -------------------- The manual mentions a set of macros to interface TurboText to AmigaTeX. These macros are not included with this release of TurboText. Documentation Changes --------------------- A few features were added after the TurboText manual was printed. This section outlines these changes. The MarkBlk command now has a TOGGLEVERTICAL/S option that toggles the current selection block from normal to vertical and back. This option can be handy when bound to a mouse button. The GetCursorPos command now returns an extra value. The value specifies the character number on which the cursor is sitting without performing tab expansion. The ExecTool command now has a SCREEN/S option that causes the public screen name on which the document window is opened to be inserted in the command-line passed to the tool. Under AmigaDOS 1.3, the screen title is inserted instead. The GetScreenInfo command now returns an extra value. The value specifies the public screen name on which the document window is opened. Under AmigaDOS 1.3, the title of the screen is returned instead. The requester that is optionally opened when the editor is about to do an auto-save operation no longer accepts keyboard shortcuts. Since this requester can appear at any time during an editing session, keystrokes meant for the document would often be grabbed and acted upon by the requester. The DEL key is a keyboard shortcut for the trashcan in the file requester. Under AmigaDOS 2.0, the TurboText: assignment is performed automatically upon program startup if it is not already present in the system. The assignment is made to the directory where the TurboText program is located. The manual states that TurboText does not support general checkmarked menu items. This is not true as TTX fully supports checkmarked menu items. Unavailable menu selections are always ghosted by TurboText making it impossible to select them by mistake. Certain operations cause TurboText to change the appearance of the mouse pointer. In particular when marking a block the pointer changes to four arrows pointing in opposite directions to denote the marking process. When recording a macro, the pointer is changed to a tape cassette. When loading, saving, or searching, the pointer is changed to a clock to indicate the program is busy working. Additional considerations ------------------------- All text files on this disk assume a tab width of 8. It you find any of these files are formatted strangely, be sure to check that the Tab Width gadget in the Edit Prefs requester is set to 8. End.
