Re: New Enter routine

Carl,
If you follow the instructions in my earlier post, you'll see that
it is not always zero.
Yes, in text, I see that. But I have spent hours trying to get a program to
recognize and act on that, without repeatable success. At one point, I
thought I had it, but then I lost it.
But I don't understand what you're trying to
do with this program. Automate spell-checking, somehow? Isn't that
what SPELLing to a file is for?
No, I want to use it with the ENTER routine, because hitting ENTER with
your routine loaded doesn't work right with spell-checking. Maybe it will
with the new $X one, which I'll try now.
And the other challenge is to have a program recognize the output of the $X
ENTER key, whether or not during any given point in program execution VA
$TX is 0.

So what I'm looking for is something like this at the beginning of your frame:

==0>!==1>!==1>{13} . . .
As I say, I've spent a good 6 hours attempting this and just can't get the
thing to work.
There seemed to me to be some problem about calling  and,
separately, a problem with the {13} put out, from inside a help frame, as
opposed to via a directly assigned key, so I started trying to have the
above IF test done in the key assignment itself, which seemed a promising
idea, but I couldn't get it to work. Omitting commas:

28=NO==0>!==1>!==1>{13}JM( .2ENTER)
Then I tried using XMACRO, but still couldn't get the blamed thing to work
right. Ah, the agony and ecstasy of coding.
