Re: NB 8



Robert,

General Availability. The official, public version.

Yes, that's what I have.
Your memory? I'm talking there about inserting function AC into a document.

I interpreted this:
"command 'pfun AC'"

as meaning:
put into the .INT file: "BX pfun ACQ2 ;*;"
in which case, to make sense, it would have to have been: BX func ACQ2 ;*;
So, disregarding your clear statement "Put func AC toward the end of NBSTART.INT ...", I interpreted "command" as a noun, standing for the BX command. You were using "command" as a verb pertaining to how to get func AC into the file.
Actually, I think my version does exactly the same thing as yours, just
more cumbersomely.
So unless you want to do a ring around the rosy with
 BX func acQ2 ;*;

precisely
pithy people would prefer to see
 AC ;*;
in NBSTART.INT|PM.

--just so.

Yes, well, Xy4 does that too sometimes, and you just can't prevent it. The
ABort command, for example, forces the cursor to text. NB does it more often.
Soooo... assuming you know this is going to happen... you code the keystroke
with the command and then func GH GoHeader. Or you hit your func CC key. Big
deal.
Offhand, I don't think I could just drop GH into most commands--some of
them should end up in the text, unless there's an error. Hmmm, >
GH ?
