In the first place the Rainbow community has hundreds of people who
are emminently more qualified and honest than him. In the second, the Rainbow
community does not need those of his ilk sullying our community. In the third
place, if my flames do drive him away, no great loss.
Finally, I am sure that he has not been the only one to enter information
about disk formats. That information just happens to be basic to most of those
here in Flame..er...ah..I mean Rainbow echo. :-) So settle down, enjoy the
information and the welcome respite from technical message. :-)

p.s. He can't take your advice and send me proof of payment. Try giving him
another suggestion, such as send money! As ex-chairman of the Boston Rainbow

Users Group I promised to take the current chairman out for Chinese food
with the money. :-)

I don't have the .WPS files here, so I can't try it.

JJ> I did not have to do anything to the EDT KEYS except renaming them.

You shouldn't have to rename the keys.  All you should need to do is furnish
the .WPS files in your SEDT directory and place the command MAPPING=WPS in
your SEDT.CNF file.

As an alternative, you might try deleting your original .EDT files and renaming
the .WPS files to .EDT.

BTW, if you are troubled with extraneous lines or characters appearing when
you are cutting and pasting with v4.0(260), you might try ctrl-w to clear
it up.

HELP
I just installed the addins (Learn and Speedup) and they seem to be working
well. However I tried to install Allways and my system crashes when I try
to invoke it. Can anyone confirm my suspicions that Allways is written in
such a way that the Bow graphics board cant understand??  I also want to
thank the person who is resonsible for the 'addin' file as the Learn addin
is a great help in writing Macros for Lotus.
