What's New Fenimore's Macro Suite ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Modified: ALT B, D, F, H, X; ASCII, ALTKEY, CTRLKEY, DP, FN, SHFKEY The following are the most recent changes made to the Macro Suite: ALT B 11 Dec1 Minor change to Quotes. Added checking for a hard return at the current cursor location. Now, if a space OR a hard return is found, the quotes are placed next to each other and the cursor moved between them. Without this check for the hard return I found that the close quote would often end up on the next line (after the hard return). (Version 3.34f) 11 Dec1 Minor change made to Multiple Enhancements. Added a prompt to show which options being added. As each option is added to the document it is stripped from the displayed list options chosen. This display is particularly useful for slower systems and provides feedback that something is actually being done. Fast machines'll probably see a quick blip of info... (Version 3.34g) ALT D 12 Dec1 Moved an identifier variable to earlier in the macro to allow proper menu display under certain circumstances. (Version 3.8d2) ALT F 1 Dec1 Initial version capable of retrieving up to two documents out of a maximum total of 4 of the most recently edited documents. User must identify the document(s) to retrieve, in any order, up to 2 in quantity. If both document screens are empty the user may request two documents, otherwise only 1 may be retrieved. (Version 4.00) 5 Dec1 Revised the retrieve algorithm for better efficiency. Order of document request is order of retrieval (in other words, the numbers 31 will retrieve document #3 to document screen 1 and document #1 to document screen #2. Added the ability to remove 1 or more files from the autoretrieve data file. Removing all will cause the macro to terminate after informing that there are no files to retrieve. (Version 4.01) 10 Dec1 If Multiple Save was called immediately after a file rename, the process of returning to the "original path and file name" would result in a reset of the file to its original and not the newly provided name. (Version 4.01a) 11 Dec1 If you don't want to choose from the AutoRetrieve file selections hit the EXIT key and you'll enter into the DIRECTORY macro (ALTD). (Version 4.01b) 12 Dec1 Made a few minor changes so that when ASCII is called just after a file rename (and before it has actually been saved) it knows that the current file does indeed have a name. (Version 4.02) 13 Dec1 Made some minor changes to support a call from ALTX during a document exit. This change basically involved moving document exit responsibility from ALTF to ALTX if EXIT was chosen at the ALTF menu requesting the user to provide a file name (for a file without a name). (Version 4.02a) 13 Dec1 Made some minor changes to allow the normal ALTF message line above the main menu when called by ALTX during a document exit. (Version 4.02b) ALTH 14 Dec1 Finally placed a less terse menu in the main help menu. Added the space bar to the options which'll quit the help macro. (Version 2.11) 15 Dec1 Added options which the help macro recognizes: A = AltKey, C = CtrlKey; UpArrow or S = ShfKey (Version 2.11a) ALT X 1 Dec1 Initial version which updates the autoretrieve file. A maximum of four filenames are stored in the autoretrieve file. Files with the same file specification have their cursor location information updated. Files with the same name but different path are considered "new" and are added to the autoretrieve file. New files are added to the bottom of the file and removed from the top of the file. The number of files indicator located within the AutoRetrieve file is also updated. (Version 4.00) 5 Dec1 Added handling for a file with 0 records and the handling for a non-existent autoretrieve file. (Version 4.01) 13 Dec1 Made a change in how an exit from document was performed. If the file had no name and EXIT was chosen from the ALTF submenu (asking the user to provide a file name) the document might be exited. Additionally, it the ALTX option chosen was "D" no document switch (from document screen 1 to document screen 2, for instance) would occur. This was fixed. (Version 4.01a) 15 Dec1 A WordPerfect exit message is now displayed during the exit procedure. (Version 4.01b) ASCII 12 Dec1 Made some changes to allow detection of a filename which has a name in memory (but which isn't yet a WordPerfect System name). This occurs ASCII is called after a file with no name has been given a name but which hasn't yet been saved to disk. The ASCII main menu was modified for additional clarity (less terse). Added the option SAVE to supplement the ENTER key option. This provides a more visual clue as to what the user must do to save an ASCII file. The menu now identifies Original and ASCII NAMES instead of FILES. The menu options line now identifies to what those options refer (the ASCII file rather than the original). (Version 2.01) 14 Dec1 Hitting the EXIT key exits ASCII and executes the FILES (ALTF) macro. (Version 2.01a) DP 12 Dec1 Made some menu initialization changes for calling macros. (Version 1.0h) 13 Dec1 Made a minor change to allow a "re-initialization" of a main menu variable used by ALTF after called by ALTX. (Version 1.0i) FN 12 Dec1 Made some minor changes to help menu displays of information (minor tweaks). (Version 1.41c) ALTKEY 14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the current menu/help screen and re-enter the HELP main menu. CTRLKEY 14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the current menu/help screen and re-enter the HELP main menu. SHFKEY 14 Dec1 Added space bar to the options which'll exit the current menu/help screen and re-enter the HELP main menu. -------------------------
