3-6 Configuring Your Software

In the example below, the delimiter string is

[space] ? :

. The cursor stops

at each

w

since a word delimiter is encountered:

Max undo count

allows you to configure the amount of undo steps for

each window. The maximum count is 65535. Setting this option to 0 turns
undo off. The default count is set to 50. The larger this number, the less
memory is available for editing.

Insert/Overwrite

allows you to choose between four different cursor

sizes. You can configure different sizes for the insert and overwrite cursors to
make it easy to determine which mode you are in. Move your mouse cursor to
select the desired cursor size and click the left mouse button. If you do not have
a mouse, press

[Tab]

to access this field, use the up or down arrow keys to

position the cursor on the desired field, and then press

[Tab]

again to select

the item and move on to the Options field.

Options

To select these miscellaneous edit options, move your mouse

cursor to the desired field and then click the left mouse button. If you do not
have a mouse, press

[Tab]

to access this field, use the up or down arrow keys to

position the cursor, and press

[Space bar]

to select the desired items.

Truncate spaces

This option tells 1747-PBASE whether or not to

truncate spaces that trail lines of text. This truncation only occurs when
loading a file.

Ctrl–Z at EOF

Some programs require a

[Ctrl–Z]

(ASCII 26) at the

end of a text file. Selecting this option toggles this feature on and off.

CR/LF at EOF

This option determines whether or not a Carriage

Return/Line Feed pair is placed at the end of the file. This is the normal
termination for DOS files.

Restore previous status

allows you to toggle the Restore feature

ON and OFF. With Restore on, the entire STATUS of the editor is saved
when you exit the BASIC Development Software. This includes loaded
files, windows, cursor positions, marked blocks, and history lists for
virtually every prompt.

IMPORTANT

If a file to be loaded is specified from the command line,
the restore feature is not invoked. Restore may also be
suppressed by using the /NR option on the DOS
command line when initiating the BASIC Development
Software.
