- As it appears that many people didn't quite understand my original

- I'm talking about the following messages:
-
-
- Default select behavior is now active.
- Box operations will now overstrike your buffer.
- The cursor is now bound to the flow of your text.
- Default command file is undefined.
- Default section file is undefined.
- Editor will not check for modified attributes on exit.
- Pending delete disabled.
- Prompting for section file enabled.
- Tab mode set to insert a TAB character.
- Tabs will no longer be visible.
-
- All of these messages flash by rapidly (or not so rapidly at 2400
- baud) at the beginning of an editing session which uses my saved
- section file. The messages are annoying and furthermore obilterate
- any useful messages which may have been displayed at the start of
- the session, like:
-
- Editing new file. Could not find: BG.TMP
-
- The procedure which creates my new section file looks like this:
-
- SET KEYPAD EDT
- SET CURSOR BOUND
- SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK
- INCLUDE DYULIB:DSPELL.TPU
- INCLUDE DYULIB:GETFRO.TPU
- INCLUDE DYULIB:FILBAR.TPU
- INCLUDE DYULIB:OUTSEL.TPU
- INCLUDE DYULIB:MARGIN.TPU
-
- TPU COMPILE(current_buffer)
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("dy_getfile_ronly",CTRL_G_KEY)
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("dy_getfile_ronly",KEY_NAME("G",SHIFT_KEY))
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("eve_spell",KEY_NAME("S",SHIFT_KEY))
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("vertical_bar",FS_KEY)
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("output_select",KEY_NAME("O",SHIFT_KEY))
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("tilde_bar",RS_KEY)
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("right_70",KEY_NAME("7",SHIFT_KEY))
- TPU DEFINE_KEY("right_80",KEY_NAME("8",SHIFT_KEY))
-
- SAVE EXTENDED EVE DYM$DISK:[DYMAX.205000]TPUEDT.NEW
-
- I never had a problem with the extra messages appearing until
- I added the lines:
-
- SET CURSOR BOUND
- SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK
