What can I say?  We are constantly working on the www page, and a FAQ is
something we'd like to have there.  Kyle is going to have a new www page =
up "real soon now".  (This is an inside joke - apologizes to Kyle) By =
the way, 2.8 does come with a short
FAQ in the e32 directory: tsepro.faq.
>With the latest TSE disk I got when upgrading to the 32 bit version of

You'll have to refresh my memory - did we previously document all the =
macros
in the mac subdirectory?  If so, where?  Was this 2.0 or 2.5?  I promise =
we
did not intentionally leave it out!
>So, eg, if I load and execute zipview.mac, I can find no explanation of =
what
>it does, and how.  (THis is an eg - I am not just wondering about this
>macro!)  There is help for some of the potpourri macs, but there are =
lots
>more.
There are lots of macros that are called from other macros, and are not
intended as standalone macros.  There is no documentation for these =
macros.
Any macros that are intended to be called as a user command are placed =
on
the potpourri.  However, I am quite sure that we could have missed one =
or
two or three (or more!).  I'll be glad and answer your questions about =
any
that you have.
>And BTW, the cd.mac in the old version I had seems to have disappeared =
- and
>its functionality is missed!  (File Manager is too slow!)  Is there a
>replacement I have missed somewhere.
No, not currently.  cd was heavily 8.3 dependant, and we have not gotten
around to introducing a replacement yet.
I miss it to.  Actually, that is not quite true.  I didn't really use it
that much under 2.5.  If I wanted to change directories, I shelled to =
dos,
changed dirs, and returned to the editor.  However, in win32 land, the =
shell
is a separate process, and one process (understandably) can not change =
the
working directory of another process.  So now, in my personal tse.ui, I =
have
an item on the file menu called "Change Dir...", which calls the =
following
simple macro:
proc main()
    integer his
    string dir[_MAXPATH_]
    dir =3D CurrDir()
    his =3D GetFreeHistory("CD:chdir")
    while Ask("Chdir: [" + CurrDir() + "]", dir, his) and Length(dir)
        if ChDir(dir)
            break
        endif
        MsgBox("", "Can't cd to " + dir, _OK_)
    endwhile
end
It is definitely _not_ a replacement for the 2.5 cd, but, at least it =
allows
me to quickly change directories!
