 And what's at line 1604 of your TSE.UI?  In any case, most of the
 macros assumed all of your keys were defined in the UI.  But
 they're not, are they?  Most people load one or more macros on
 starting, and they can have keys assigned.  And they use macros
 that they don't have loaded at start.  So the only way to
 track everything is simply to be rigorous.  Every time I change
 any macro, I change my personal help file, a simple text file:
                 InsertText('*')
                 Copy(_append_)
                 Cut(_append_)
           CopyToWinClip()
           CutToWinClip()
           PasteFromWinClip()
                  tRulerAbs()  [cursor = status line column]
 ,      tRulerCent() [cursor = 0 ; neg/pos sides]
                 tRulerRel()  [screen left = 1]
 Then one has a simple macro that loads that file to browse or
 search as needed.  As long as you're the only person changing
 the editor, the system works fine.
