Hi, I have two questions about MS PWB: Question 1: How does one force PWB editor to shift text right when TAB key is pressed. Only the cursor is repositioned in both the insert and overwrite modes. The manual talks about hard and soft tab switches, but they don't seem to make any difference. Question 2: How does join lines? In vi you can just press 'J' and the beginning of next line is moved to the end of the current line. In other editors and wordprocessors you can just keep pressing delete key and the lines will join, but in PWB editor (same in M editor) the delete key doesn't join the two lines. thanks for any info, gary

I am using the M editor, but this should work for PWB too...

Assign the TAB kez to graphic, i.e. "Graphic:Tab". This will insert a hard tab. (Documented in the manual.) >Question 2: >How does join lines?

When in the first column of the second line, press backspace (may be you have it to assign to emacsdel, I'm not shure, don't have my tools.ini here). You can also use the sequence "endline right arg nextword delete" or similar and assign it to a macro (I use this). The manual says, that "arg .. delete" deletes a line break, when you are at the end of the line. RTFM! Kai Uwe Rommel -- /* Kai Uwe Rommel * Munich * rommel@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de */
