Paul, I have fiddled with the profile, but finding out how to do things with the documentation is an adventure game that isn't even fun. As an example, there may indeed be a way to format a paragraph easily, but I have yet to discover it. Joining lines is another hassle… count how many lines to move the file, then issue the join command. No thanks. With TxED or CED, or for that matter any reasonably friendly editor, I position the cursor (easier and quicker than positioning the file, then one keystroke does the trick. Formatting? Again, one keystroke. I don't use XEDIT enough to justify spending weeks learning all the ins and outs of the command language, but certainly enough to know that it's worth the download time to get the files to my Amiga for some really productive work. Regards, Larry.
