Does anyone out there know if the 'BRIEF' macros for TurboText can be made to operate in a sensible manner. I am a '386 (yuchh) programmer who uses Brief every day, and would like to use a familiar editor on my A-2000. I have installed AREXX and the Brief emulator. My problems lie in the fact that the Amiga numeric keys remain numeric (no page-up, page-down, arrow, end, or home keys!). A quick glance at the manual indicates that Turbotext should be able to handle all but the most complex Brief features, but it would be nice to know if the emulator has any known limitations. Maybe I just know how to enable the 'extended' brief features. Oxxi Has been unable to answer any questions concerning emulations. This bothers me. The TurboText manual says the Brief macros were written by Jamie Clark, although Oxxi doesn't seem to know or care about this. ANY info would be appreciated. Ron Flory, 71053,3551
