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.
