There must be a AutoHotkey script out there for minimising/'normalising'/maximising current window - anyone know of one?
I actually use PowerPro for this but it's really complete overkill as I use hardly any of it's other features...-tomos (November 19, 2010, 04:05 AM)
If you like configuring hotkeys to do things, do yourself a favor get yourself a nice hotkey program, there are a lot of good free ones (here's just one example).
ps. Where FARR can excel and do things better than hotkey programs is if you like to press a hotkey and have FARR pop up with a MENU of options.-mouser (November 17, 2010, 11:35 AM)
Is there any plan in the future for enhancing CHS to provide some more functionality similar to Clipmate's?-lrosenfeld (November 18, 2010, 11:38 AM)
I just checked and the Lite version of EditPad does NOT support the WS keyboard emulation. However, the new EPP7 beta version does continue to support this feature.-widgewunner (November 17, 2010, 09:41 AM)
I'm always a little fascinated and puzzled by how these old programs are held in such high esteem even long after the technology has advanced so much that the interface is very unfamiliar.-superboyac (November 16, 2010, 03:18 PM)
The article makes some great points about how it's difficult to write freely on a computer vs. a sheet of paper (which I prefer when I'm really sketching things out).
I'm not convinced that Wordstar really offers something to the new user. For people used to it, I get it...it's efficient. But for a new user, what would they use?
I find nothing comes close to paper yet, for me. [...] Just recently, i even bought a spiral-bound notebook to jot my ideas down. But even that was too restrictive. I've settled on just loose leaf paper.
I don't mean to sound rude, but what is the big deal about Wordstar?-superboyac (November 15, 2010, 11:39 PM)
Actually, the WS emulation is pretty full-featured (including the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+S etc). From the EPP6 help file...-widgewunner (November 15, 2010, 11:33 PM)

EditPad-Pro has a one-click setting for wordstar key bindings. (Don't know about the free EditPad-lite version however.)-widgewunner (November 14, 2010, 07:37 PM)
My favorite editor up to this point is Editpad Pro. 2nd favorite is EmEditor. 3rd is Ultraedit. 4th is Notepad++. Each one has a specialty for me. Emeditor is the fastest. Editpad is the best overall. Ultraedit can do the most. Notepad++ is the best of the free ones.-superboyac (November 10, 2010, 04:59 PM)
The premise is a dystopic future in which computers and an internet-type feed are hardwired into our bodies and integrated directly into our thoughts. So... people walk around with constant advertising targetting them depending on what they are looking at/passing, and carry on private text conversations with others, share memories,-Darwin (November 10, 2010, 10:28 PM)
I mean, the future is now the present? And why engage in a series of doubtless painful, expensive operations to insert implants, probably needing them done over in a few years time for maintenance and upgrading, when you could just go to a store, buy an off-the-shelf iSucker, and you're good to go?Was the modem/router provided by your ISP?-4wd (November 06, 2010, 07:07 PM)
Do you have access to its configuration settings?
USRobotics website shows that the modem/router has very good statistics/logging capability as well as diagnostics, (there's even a nice interactive demo).
for your physical line provider, (copper cable - BT, etc), to perform a remote test on your phone line - ring them up and say your getting intermittent noise on the line.
is the phone working normally when it happens, ie. dial tone, no noise (crackling, etc).
If it's happening often enough, disconnect ALL other devices connected to the phone line, (and I mean ALL - phones, filters
Normally you connect your laptop straight to the ADSL or cable modem in your house and work like that for a while.-Shades (November 05, 2010, 05:10 PM)
SLEEP- Batch util sleeps until event occurrence.
A very flexible command line tool for scheduling events; intended for batch files. "The possible events are: FOR a length of time, TILL a certain time, a question ASKed of the user, certain FILESPECS appear or disappear, the UPS is active, or a SCHEDuled event. Commands can be combined. Sleep is DOS, DesqView (uses DV System Memory), OS/2, and Windows aware.
Sleep will accept an indirect command file. Multiple lines can be used and command files can be nested. The resulting command line must be under 16K.
Sleep takes up to 100 filespecs, with paths and wildcards. Sleep will exit when any of these filespecs is created (+) or deleted (-). If also prefixed by "&", the conditions for those filespecs are AND'ed rather than OR'ed.
Serial and parallel port monitoring: Sleep outputs a byte to the port's control register, then monitors the port's status register, looking for the presence (+) or absence (-) of a bit or bits.
Scheduled events can stored in a file which contains one line per event. Sleep returns the error level of an event when it occurs.
Sleep can also be called to return an error level based on the date or time.
The cursor keys can be used to modify time remaining."
