- Hi Nancy,
- You will probably get a ton of replies to this one, but here's mine.
- The dots 346 chord has been changed to accomodate the calendar features,
- (I think.) When the bns says, "paste what", to get it to work as you
- are you are used too, use the letter c for clipboard. It does add an
- extra keystroke. In my December 1 revision of the bns 640, the delete
- paragraph does not copy both "CR-LF" to the clipboard. Deleting to mark
- is a good work around.

- I'm afraid I am not a macro king, like say Tim cumings, or others, but I
- do like the overwrite macro. This is an overwrite (o w chord) a space,
- a next character, and then the calling of the same macro over again to
- make a loop. It will work until a z chord aborts it.
- While on this subject, I have archived the blazie stuff from their
- distribution disk, and they are available on the Vibug bbs, as
- Blazmans.zip which are the manuals for various Blazie Engineering
- products, and bns-misc.zip, which is various files on interfacing the
- bns with other devices. I wanted to have the files in one place,
- because I have found that when they come out with a given piece of info,
- if you don't have that particular device, you don't care, until you get
- one. Then you wonder where the heck that info on how to make the bns do
- whatever you want it to do can be found. <grin>
-
- Now, that the macro.sys file can be transferred, perhaps people can
- begin to share their macro files for others to try out.
