  • golded installation

    From ALAN@1:135/392 to ALL on Saturday, March 26, 2022 09:10:52
    Hi,

    I am having trouble getting golded+ to work.

    I changed all the settings in the configure external tab.

    And nothing, it skips over the editor when I try to post a message.

    Can't seem to get the old one back.

    Suggestions.

    My goal is to get rid of the control Page Down the switch betteen
    messages in the orignal editor.

    Perhaps there is a way to fix the original editor to switch bettween
    message just with the space bar.

    Really need help here. I can do a new install as well.

    Well, you will have trouble because GoldED+ *cannot* be used as an
    external editor in OpenXP because GoldED+ does *NOT* support OpenXP's proprietary message base format.

    I changed all the settings in the configure external tab.

    And nothing, it skips over the editor when I try to post a message.

    Can't seem to get the old one back.

    Undo all the changes you made in the external editor config and see if
    that brings the built-in message editor back.

    Suggestions.

    I already wrote about that in a message to you in this echo quite some
    time ago.

    So.. GoldED cannot even be used as a plain-ol editor?

    That's like saying "your refrigerator cannot be used as a plain-ol frying pan"... Apples and oranges.

    Bye, Wilfred.
