Forgot to mention that.
It has a couple of oddities which I'd change, such as ending with a NEW comnmand, but overall quite nicely written.

Hi,

I downloaded the Editor file, can not believe that it is Superbasic. Just shows how good Superbasic is.

There might be a slight delay on the Manual, as I tested positive for Covid-19 this morning, only have a headache, I though it the the Beer...

I can not understand how I got infected, I have been triple jabbed, do not talk to anyone and stay in the house trying the programme the QL...

Derek

Important to remind, that

1030 xl=400: xc=76: DIM txt$(xl,xc)

"xl" is the max.number of lines, "xc" is the max. number of characters in a line.

OMG, sorry to hear that Derek. The variants of the damn virus are getting so infectious now :cry:
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Derek.

I printed off a listing, only 7 pages. Very few REM statements, quite a few GOTOs, but makes very good use of meaningful names and well structured into procedures. The code is easy to follow if anyone wants to tinker with it.

BTW, Ralf, see your PMs (as the Forum's email notifictions still don't seem to be working)...

Hmm, not as far as I know. Perhaps you can upload the editor here?
The original "Sedit" program by TT is in the Quanta Library, including the ROOM_bin file.

Yes, there is one disk with things from TT. His editor is a bit unusual to use ;) and was made for his porposes in conjunction with QPLQ.

My McGrawhill editor also uses ROOM_BIN, so may be a later version...who knows.
