Re: UnDo2

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Thanks, Robert. I'm fixing my installation, apace. I found one, possibly
interfering line in my STARTUP.INT, which cleans up temp files:
BXes 1Q2  JM 2.wild Q2
I'm getting only a little bit of UnDo--one level of undo, sometimes. I'm
wondering if it has to do with where I place things in STARTUP.INT. Right
now, I have this order (neglecting things in between)
1. "Do" launch of MyPID.EXE
2. Load U2
3. Load SETTINGS.DFL, Xy4.HLP, Xy4.DLG, HP4-PLUS.PRN, Xy4.MNU
3. JM 2.UnDo.INT

Bottom of Reg is:
;
[UnDo]
UnDoMethod=K
UnDoFreq=
UnDoDepth=20
;
NOTE: I see that ABOVE this in the Reg fil is a comment:
; End_of_File
and then the Viewers stanza. So I tried moving the UnDo stanza to just
above that, but that didn't solve it.
NOTE ALSO: I don't hear the "pop" sound I used to hear (a Windows sound, I
think) when I hit the key with $K on it:
21=$k,xd,rl
But I do hear that pop (even though nothing happens) when I do undo.

Interestingly, UnDo does work for this key, but only one level of undo:
66=$K,mv

Could it be that the XD in the first key causes problems?

Help greatly appreciated.

Yes. Perfectly fine. This restriction applies only to a file
that has an _index_ at the end, after the EOF character. The
only files that have an index are loaded Help files: DLG and
U2. So don't UnDo|ReDo with DLG or U2.

It's only needed with the Timed method. ($T doesn't exist
anymore!)

There's nothing to turn off or re-activate. UnDo.exe runs on a
one-off basis with func $K -- i.e., each time you (your KBD
actually) command $K, UnDo runs momentarily, then it quits.
