There are no silly questions, only impertinent answers.

Put

 SaveFile()

into a Macro and load it, perhaps as an Autoload macro.  Or add it to any 
macro that you are autoloading now.  Or add it to tse.ui and recompile.  I 
have an autoload macro, TSEKEYS.S that is full of such key remapping 
statements.

I would have as much of a problem finding the above in a printed manual as 
in the help.  That's what this list is for.

You can reassign substantially all of the keys in TSE, using a line similar 
to the above, where the‰ procedure called can be either an internal editor 
command (as above) or any procedure that you care to write.  In some 
versions of Windows some key combinations are trapped and won't be passed 
to TSE.  Some may be reserved for other reasons; I haven't checked just now.

If you are editing a SAL macro (a .s file), the Ctrl-F1 will bring up help 
on the "word" at the cursor, i.e., the procedure, if it is an internal SAL 
command.

P.S.  Do you want to use F10 to save a file because you are familiar with 
WordPerfect keystrokes?  Older versions of TSE, as I recall, had a wp.ui 
that emulated the WordPerfect keystrokes, but I don't think Sammy has kept 
it.  At any rate, you can remap all the keystrokes you want, whether they 
are already in use or are  currently unused.  Each time you want to remap 
one more keystroke, just go into the macro and add one more key assignment 
statement.

P.P.S.  I still would love a printed manual.  There are times when it's 
good to sit in the recliner and leaf through the manual just to see what 
one might find.  "Leafing" through the help in front of the computer is 
just not the same as sitting in the recliner!

P.P.P.S. What I really want is _editable_ help, so that once I have found 
something the first time, I can insert a permanent bookmark (consisting of 
a couple of keywords by which I think of what I want to do), so that I can 
find it quickly several months later, by which time I will have forgotten 
what I have learned.  What I do now is keep a large secondary help file 
(tsehelp.txt file) written by myself, with pointers to stuff in the help, 
and many full help topics that I've written out myself.  Early versions of 
TSE did have editable help, as I recall.
