                          Copyright 1994  George Hug


This is a text file which you may edit. The configuration program EZQCFG will
look for certain headers, such as ":MACROS", which indicate the beginning
or end of specific configuration sections.  Anything outside those sections,
such as this paragraph, will be ignored, as will any line inside those
sections which begins with a semicolon.

Syntax error messages are normally printed to the screen but may be sent to
a file or your printer by including >PRN or >[filename] redirection in
EZQCFG.COM's command line.  Where applicable, the error message will include
the line number of the offending line to help you locate it more easily.

If you change the configuration frequently, it may be helpful to use a
condensed version of this file - one with all the explanations removed.
You may also put the sections in a different order if you prefer.

The following are all of the keynames which the configuration program will
recognize.  They are shown for reference purposes only - you cannot change
them.  A keyname which is not listed below does not exist. Ten-key keypad
names are k1, k2, etc.  Key45 refers to the extra key between the left Shift
and Z keys on the 102-key keyboard.  The name "startkey" is a phantom
keyname which can be assigned to invoke a startup macro.

                     Function/Keyname Assignments
                     ****************************

After each function name shown in the left column below, enter at least one
space or tab, then the keyname assigned to that function.  If the assignment
is a WordStar-type two-keyname combination, the first and second keynames
should be separated by one space.

A function can have multiple keyname assignments, each of which must be on its
own line.  Here's an example:

Load        @f7
Load        ^k r
Load        ^k ^r

Functions need not be entered in any particular order.

                                  Macros
                                  ======

Macros are defined in this section. Each macro definition begins with a
line in the following form:

macrodef <mode> <name> <key>

<mode> controls whether the macro is to be invoked from Edit Mode, Quote Mode,
       or both modes.  The entry should be "E", "Q", or "B".  (Note however
       that macros, once invoked, may go back and forth between modes.)

<name> is the name you assign to this macro. It should begin with a capital
       letter and contain no spaces.

<key>  is the keyname which will invoke this macro. The format is the same as
       used above in Function/Keyname Assignments.  If <key> is "startkey",
       the macro will be executed automatically when EZQuote boots.


The second and subsequent lines of the definition specify the keystroke
sequence which the macro will invoke. You may include in the sequence any
combination of literals, function names, other macro names, and keynames.
Literal strings should be enclosed in single or double quotes. Function names
and macro names should begin with a capital letter.  Each literal string
and each name should be followed by at least one space, or end a line.

Here's an example of a macro definition:

macrodef Q Getimport ^f3
Load home home "import.txt" enter

This example defines the macro "Getimport" which would be invoked by hitting
Ctrl-F3 while in Quote Mode. It Loads the file IMPORT.TXT.

Notice that when a macro calls a function requiring entry of a filename or
search text, you should include the "home" key before the new string so that
any previous entry will be erased. Otherwise you will append the new entry
to the old. For the Load command, "home" must be entered twice - the extra
one answers the "load more" option if the previous Load was oversized.

Macros invoking Save may routinely include an <A>ppend or <O>verwrite
selection after filename entry. The selection will be ignored if the file
does not already exist.  See the Spell macro below for an example.

Subject to overall memory constraints, there is no limit to the
number of macros you may define, or the length of any one macro.


Embedding:

Macros may call other macros so long as they are not embedded more than ten
levels deep.  But if such a call is the last item in a macro's sequence, that
call is treated as a simple jump rather than an embedded call.  So a macro
which ends by calling itself will generally run forever rather than fill up
the 10-level macro stack.  Such a loop can be useful if it includes the Search
function, which will abort the current macro if no match is found.


Phantoms:

Three of the normal EZQuote functions are toggles. Because a macro can't
determine the current state of those toggles, three pre-defined phantom
functions are provided for use in macros to set the toggles to a definite
state. From there you can toggle to the other state if you need to.

               Phantom function         Related normal function

                 /Quotemode                    Modetog
                 /Inserton                     Inserttog
                 /Markon                       Marktog

The /Markon phantom function sets the Mark anchor to the current cursor
position even if Mark was already toggled on.

There is also a phantom keyname "startkey" which is used to invoke a startup
macro. If a macro is invoked by "startkey", that macro will be executed
automatically when EZQuote boots.


Default Macros:

 ^f1  Spell        Shell to spellchecker "ss" with contents of current window
                   in the temp file "ezqspell", reload new contents of
                   ezqspell upon return.

 ^f4  Dos          Shell to Dos, type 'EXIT' to return.

 ^f5  Delend       Deletes from the cursor to the end of text (no undo).

 ^f8  Expandtabs   Converts all of the tab characters after the cursor to the
                   correct number of spaces.

 ^f9  Searchagain  Finds the next match for a previously-entered Search string.

 ^f10 Printblock   Print the marked block. (You may need to change this macro
                   if your printer requires a driver.)

You may add to or delete these macros or modify them as you wish.

                            Bottom Line Prompts
                            ===================

If you change the default function/keyname assignments, or define macros,
you may also want to change the bottom line prompts.  Each mode has its own
set of prompts, with each set having four versions - for Normal, Shift,
Control and Alt.

Below each prompt line is its corresponding format line. A prompt character
which has a corresponding non-space format character will be displayed by
EZQuote with inverse attributes - the same as used for a marked block of text.

You can change these as you like. EZQuote will display each of the Help

Hitting any other key will abort the Help display.
