Uedit is now version 4.0 to avoid any confusion with the previous
version 3.0 shareware release.
MISSING UEX
MISSING UEP
MISSING UES
There is not any missing executable all the functions of UEX and UEP are now
part of the normal uedit executable "UE". Also the previous demo shareware
version of Uedit called UES also no longer exists.
CRASHES AND HANGUPS
There are three "dangerous" features in the command language which CAN cause
Uedit to crash, if misused. They are poke(), attachBuf() and onAbort.
attachBuf() is discussed in the manual and is safe if used after detachBuf()
correctly. NEVER use poke() UNLESS you have have read the UEK doc on how to
use those. If somebody gives you a config using poke(), it's okay to use that
config but DO NOT MODIFY how poke() is used, because it will corrupt memory
and cause a crash or worse. An onAbort key can hang up the program. onAbort
must be used intelligently and carefully.
PERFORMANCE
To get faster running during a long process that updates the display, flick
the mouse menu button, briefly displaying a menu. This turns on the internal
hideDisplay flag temporarily, suppressing display updates until the next idle
period. (Note that if you select Hide Display in the menu, this only affects
the running of learned sequences, it doesn't suppress display updates in all
cases. But flicking the mouse menu button to display a menu suppresses the
displaying during any long operation.)
SCROLLING
For best results, set your key repeat speed to the max in Preferences. The
arrow key scrolling command in Config!M can probably be improved for a
particular setting of key-repeat speed. You may wish to customize it for
better scrolling at the key-speed you use.
To get the fastest scrolling:
Select a 1 bitplane non-lace screen (press rAmiga-F1).
Set scrollType to On. (See the Global Modes Ctl-g command.)
Use the mouse for scrolling - press button, drag mouse.
AREXX
Uedit's old cryptic Rexx interface (in the old Config!R) was replaced with
Kerry Zimmerman's readable, verbose interface which users say is much easier
to use. See ReadMe.Demo for instructions. (See Errata. Note that the
Uedit-ARexx Examples and much of the ARexx discussion in the manual are now
obsolete.)
