Troubleshooting: ---------------- If you have a slow system and you're experiencing trouble with smooth scrolling, you should start Smooth Editor up with the /1 command-line option.

Smooth Editor leaves no data or code in other parts of the system. Whatsnew -------- Version 2.0: -Complete Windows(R) interface If you execute the SEWIN.EXE program from Windows, Smooth Editor can copy/cut/paste from and to Windows Applications, you can drag and drop filenames from the File Manager and when you exit Windows, Smooth Editor will close down like other Windows applications, with a Save File query if necessary. -Macro's You can record, name, save and play back ten different macros. -True Tabs Tabs keep their position also when the text in front of them is changed. -Smart Word Wrapping Wrapping also works with Delete, if there is no 'hard return' words will be wrapped back when there is enough space. -Justify function This function joins lines within paragraphs to make neatly wrapped text. -Command line switches Use SE/? for more details. -Text viewing mode Because of Smooth Scrolling, SE is very well suited as a text viewer. -Improved color customization There new are separate choices for the colors in the palette and the usage of these colors in the program. -Startup options The SE.INI now has options to set startup modes. -Immediate interpretation of SE.INI When SE.INI is saved, the program can execute the settings immediately, making it easier to customize the program. -Replace function -Bookmarks -A large number of small improvements and a couple of bugfixes. -The file COLORS.TXT is included with Smooth Editor.

The old SE.INI must be deleted or renamed. Sorry. Demo: ----- To see the demonstration, make sure the SE.INI is not in the path or in the program directory. If it is you can just delete it, since SE will create a new one with all the default values. When you now start SE, it will ask you if you want to see the demo.
