- This is intended to be a relatively complete list of the
- idiosyncrasies known or suspected with TEXTRA. I've tried
- to be relatively complete in describing each situation.
-
- Eventually, I'd like to completely eradicate this list,
- but <sigh!> all in due time. For now, take heed of hither...
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- TEXTRA will alternately select and operate on each window
- when either the "Project, Save All Files" menu item or
- when QUITing. During these operations, problems MAY occur
- if the user manually selects a different window than TEXTRA has
- selected. (I say MAY because Phil only suspects he's seen
- problems here.)
-
- Also, some AREXX scripts will eventually select other windows
- (when I add this capability to the TEXTRA command set).
-
- For now, just "leave the machine alone" during these times,
- and as far as I know, things work fine.
-
- NOTE: While printing, it IS OK to switch windows, edit, save,
- whatever. The above 'note' doesn't apply for printing.
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- Avoid low memory situations. Error recovery apparently isn't
- what it should be in some cases. Try to make sure there's
- at least 40K free in your computer. This is a high priority
- item with me, and I've already improved this version somewhat
- in this respect.
-
- As far as I know, all other TEXTRA memory-management issues
- are solid...no enforcer hits...always gives everything back...
- uses the right memory (CHIP vs. other) for the job...etc.
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- While an AREXX script is running...
-
- 1. Editing of other windows may not be performed.
-
- 2. Any print job is suspended (until the script is done).
- You won't even notice this one unless you're running one
- HECKUVA l-o-n-g AREXX script!
-
- 3. Don't change the selected window until the operation
- is complete.
