- Hi Folks,
-
- I'd like to incorporate a predictive interface with the Fred editor but
- I need to be able to scan back through its history list. Could someone
- tell me how to access events other than fred-last-command. Also, how
- to decode all those numbers after the text and position args, if they
- mean anything.
-
- I would also like to co-opt the text-region outline (currently used to
- mark a selection in an inactive window) and modify its graphical style,
- but I find no documentation or routines relating to it.
-
- Finally, I'll be writing a text pattern matcher that looks for tokens
- like chars, words, paragraphs; types like numbers, alpha, etc; properties
- like capitalization, font, etc. I expect there must be parsers or pattern
- matchers like this already out there, but I haven't found one.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Dave Maulsby
