Line Drawing and Fonts: Why doesn't Line Drawing work?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In order for Line Drawing to work, you need to use a OEM
(DOS) font instead of an ANSI (Windows font).
As shipped, the editor defaults to using an ANSI font.
Terminal is an OEM font that you can select from the Set
Font menu. Terminal is the font that is used in Command
Prompts. You can select the Terminal font be selecting the
Set Font menu item, and selecting Terminal.
Additionally, many TrueType fonts also support the OEM
character set, for instance, Lucida Console and Courier New
also support OEM versions of their fonts. However, the OEM
character set cannot be selected from the Set Font dialog.
You can try the following macro to convert a Lucida Console
or Courier New ANSI font to an OEM font.
I've assigned the macro to , but you can change
that to whatever you like.
Put the following in a file called "what-ever-you-want.s".
Select Macro, Compile. Select Load.
Now, select a Lucida Console or Courier New font that you
like. After it is selected, Press the appropriate key
(shift-f11 if you did not change it).
It'll either work, or not.

Why can't I assign anything to on Win95/98/ME?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpted from "Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - Q146869"
ALT+F6 Key Combination Does Not Work in Windows 95
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME:
Symptoms
--------
You may experience any of the following symptoms:
You cannot assign the ALT+F6 key combination to a macro in
programs that allow a keyboard shortcut to be assigned to a
macro.
Cause
-----
The ALT+F6 key combination is reserved for use by Windows
95. Programs that try to control this key combination are
unable to use it.
Resolution
----------
Assign another key combination to the macro in your program.
More Information
----------------
Reserved key combinations (ALT+TAB, CTRL+ESC, ALT+ESC, and
ALT+F6) are captured by Windows 95. These key combinations
are captured by Windows 95 to prevent programs from
interfering with task switching, thereby improving overall
system reliability.

How can I get more colors?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To set one of the editors 16 colors:
------------------------------------
SetSystemInfo(function, table, index, color)
Where:
function: must be 0
table: 1 for the foreground color table, 2 for the
background color table.
index: 0..15, to indicate which color to change.
0 black
1 blue
2 green
3 cyan
4 red
5 magenta
6 brown
7 light gray
8 dark gray
9 light blue
10 light green
11 light cyan
12 light red
13 light magenta
14 yellow
15 white
color: The actual color value, in BGR format.
Example:
To set the "red" foreground color to "blue":
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 4, 0x800000)
This specifies table 1 (the foreground table), color 4 (the
red color), and 0x800000 which has blue component of 80h, a
green component of 0h, and a red component of 0h.
An example macro: This sets the the editors colors back to
their default values - as of v4 at least. If you come up
with something really pretty, we might use it in v5!
proc main()
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 0,0x000000 ) // black
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 1,0x800000 ) // blue
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 2,0x008000 ) // green
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 3,0x808000 ) // cyan
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 4,0x000080 ) // red
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 5,0x800080 ) // magenta
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 6,0x008080 ) // brown
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 7,0xc0c0c0 ) // light gray
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 8,0x808080 ) // dark gray
SetSystemInfo(0, 1, 9,0xff0000 ) // light blue
SetSystemInfo(0, 1,10,0x00ff00 ) // light green
SetSystemInfo(0, 1,11,0xffff00 ) // light cyan
SetSystemInfo(0, 1,12,0x0000ff ) // light red
SetSystemInfo(0, 1,13,0xff00ff ) // light magenta
SetSystemInfo(0, 1,14,0x00ffff ) // yellow
SetSystemInfo(0, 1,15,0xffffff ) // white
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 0,0x000000 ) // black
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 1,0x800000 ) // blue
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 2,0x008000 ) // green
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 3,0x808000 ) // cyan
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 4,0x000080 ) // red
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 5,0x800080 ) // magenta
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 6,0x008080 ) // brown
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 7,0xc0c0c0 ) // light gray
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 8,0x808080 ) // dark gray
SetSystemInfo(0, 2, 9,0xff0000 ) // light blue
SetSystemInfo(0, 2,10,0x00ff00 ) // light green
SetSystemInfo(0, 2,11,0xffff00 ) // light cyan
SetSystemInfo(0, 2,12,0x0000ff ) // light red
SetSystemInfo(0, 2,13,0xff00ff ) // light magenta
SetSystemInfo(0, 2,14,0x00ffff ) // yellow
SetSystemInfo(0, 2,15,0xffffff ) // white
