Hi Jack,
Your concerns about indeting/un-indenting with TSE are unfounded. We have
a feature where any block that you mark can be indented / un-indented in
any manner you desire. We call this feature Shift Block, in the standard
TSE User Interface, this is assigned to and keys.
You are right in that we are missing undo/redo. It's a feature that is
high on our list, though.
Right now, we are working on new syntax highlighting code to replace the
Colors macro.
As for the "memory", all of our prompts have had a history feature for
quite while now, and also allow you to preserve the history accross editing
sessions.
We're sorry to hear that you don't like the demo. version of the editor.
We had quite a few requests from customers that wanted to try out the
editor before they actually purchased it, so we put the demo version
together. It really seems to have been quite popular thus far.
We make no bones about it's availability. It is not a shareware version
like TSE Jr. We felt that we needed to make it available as other
companies are making demonstration versions of the their products available
for customers to try out.
Thanks for your feedback!

I would not use any crud GUI editor, but, does qedit or TSE let you mark
the
first column of a paragragh, press space or tab to indent the whole thing a
space or tab at a time, or delete spaces to move the whole column over? I
use
this feature a lot when writing code and neither QEDIT, QEDIT/2 ver 3.0 nor
TSE
ver 2.0 do this. Boxer does. Boxer also has UNDO and ReDO for last series
of
changes, making changes less tramtic if you want to get back quickly to
where
you were. Also has color syntax highlighting, better than TSE's and
non-existant in Qedit. It also remembers any search and replaces you did,
and
lets you pick them from a pop up list if you want, also remembers your last
commands to a shell (Ctrl F9 in TSE and boxer) so you can quickly scroll
through them. It is also very configurable, comes with multiple keyboards,
including QEDIT, WP, WordStar, Brief and many others. I of course use the
QEDIT keyboard.
I hated switching, but what can you do? I'm also not thrilled with TSE
being
put out with a 4000 keystroke limit. I don't carry that type of product on
my
BBS. I liked it better when it was commercial.
Somehow this type of marketing doesn't belong on FidoNet. Either go
shareware
or commercial, you can't have the best of both worlds, at my expense.
