Re: Upgrading to Notabene K accentuates problem with U2

[Paul Breeze paul.breeze@xxxxxxxx]

Dear Carl

I think you must be right in thinking that there is a problem with my
setup but I cannot identify what it is.

I have been through the setup instructions for U2 and the only part that
I cannot comply with is the section about identifying a STANDARD
fontname with a monospaced font, since I use Windows printers in NB.
Have I missed something here?

Other than that, everything appears to comply with the instructions. I
have also inserted a line in NB.DLG to support use of the stack. I
assume that is the correct procedure with NB.


It is puzzling and very frustrating.

Paul

I bit the bullet and upgraded to v8.0K. Happily (for me), I can't
reproduce either of the problems reported above. Both WCAF and SEarch
across files (with or without wildcards) work flawlessly. Nor can I
reproduce the problem you reported yesterday with U2's HELP function.
"HELP DR" displays the help screen for DR; "HELP [whatever]" displays
the help screen for [whatever]. The cursor does not jump to top of
file.

Maybe there's a glitch in your NB+U2 setup. My best suggestion at this
point is that you revisit the U2 Readme section for NBWin users (in
http://users.datarealm.com/xywwweb/XYWEBTXT.HTM) and make sure that all
the required settings are in place. Perhaps one of them was lost when
you upgraded to 8.0K -- simple sequential windows, for instance. To
test for this setting, command VA/NV WN; the PRompt line should
report "1". If not, edit NB.DFL as necessary and restart NB.
