I've been plauing with the miniedit program in LSC and I can't figure how
to force a line feed. I've been tying TEKey('\$0D',TEH) and variations on
'\0D' but the best I get is a square box non-printing indicator. Waht am I
doing wrong.
Is there a listing anywhere of the data structures used in other word
processors like macWrite , Word , etc like the struct used in TextEdit.h?
Any help much appreciated.

That square box is the character that resides in the LF slot in most/all fonts. Remember that the Mac does NOT know about LF's it is a foreign concept. A line break on the Mac is a CR. If you want hard wrapped lines in TE instead of the standard soft-wrapped, you can try chaning the crOnly fieldof the TERec. > Is there a listing anywhere of the data structures used in other word > processors like macWrite , Word , etc like the struct used in TextEdit.h? > The MacWrite file format is available from Claris and Word's from MicroSoft.

C was invented back when octal was still all the rage... Also, I notice in the MPW C 3.0 that the definitions of \n and \r have been interchanged from the "normal" values. This actually makes a perverse kind of sense, if ALL you ever code is \n as a newline. LSC hasn't taken this step, so you could also use TEKey ('\r', TEH); at least until LSC decides to become MPW compatible (yech). To their credit, at least MPW 3.0 uses all lower case trapnames for the ones with cstring braindamage, and mixed case for the "real" (minimum glue) trapnames. AND they provided a tool (CCvt) for converting from the old convention to the new one. As I've said elsewhere, MPW 3.0 is a class act. =Ned Horvath=
