The software from many called Pointer Interface (this is just the part which allows for a mouse pointer and none destructable windows) is since Qpac2 the Extended Environment and includes the Pointer Interface, Wman (Window Manager) which allows sub windows etc., the Thing system AND the Hotkey ...

All S(uper)BASIC tokens are listed in Jan Jones book "QL SuperBASIC The Definitive Handbook" in Appendix C - THE SuperBASIC TOKENS.

Weeeell,

I don't use the pointer system.

There's absolutely no need to use the pointer environment with MicroEmacs, except that it additionally uses the Extended Environment and so requires it. But you can (as I do) use Emacs just with keyboard shortcuts (and commands, <META><X>).

BTW: Can ...

But the original (sub) thread IMHO was about MicroEmacs.

The best QL editor/IDE might have the following features:

Doesn't need line numbers
Automatic indent, configurable. 2, 3, 4 spaces. 240x75 that'll be useful
...

It should be possible to implement a lot (most?) of your wishes with the MicroEmacs builtin programming language. It is a full blown ...

The most annoying thing IMHO is that uEmacs warps the pointer to some unexpected place if you select a menu item. I keep searching my mouse pointer in that program. Isn't it similar in QD? When you click on an item with the mouse from the editing window, you first have to look back at where you ...

I think I have found the reason why the second program does not run. If the literal string parameter of the second L_ PROCedure has the same length as the first, the second label (L_'...') will not be found. It's unfortunately not a wrong loop counter, even if the first char differs, the second ...

Unfortunately there seems to be still an error in reflection toolkit :-(

Following does not work. I have extracted the lines for the program below from a test program I have written (which does not work). QPC2:

1380 REMark END IF :REMark dummy
1420 L_'tstREF_L_test_REF_L_GCD_02'
1425 PRINT'..._02 ...

I have found the error why a second label won't be found. I compared the paramter to the REF_L% FuNction with itself instead with the actual LITERAL(!) string parameter of the L_ PROCedure which defines/sets a label usable with GO TO (tested) and GO SUB and RESTORE (hopefully) :-)

I've not use Emacs, but I don't think it and MicroEmacs are very similar. MicroEmacs does not use Lisp as a scripting language (luckily).

Do you know the name of the scripting language MicroEMACS is using? At least it seems to me very similar to LISP. E.g. Polish Notation (NOT Reverse PN!), lot ...
