New AED Features...........................Bob Sander-Cederlof

Bill Linn, author of AED, stopped by the other day.  Bill is a Vice President at Cullinane Corporation, and was in Dallas for a user convention.  Since it was Sunday, and we are both earnest Christians, he spent the morning with Becky and me and the kids at church.  Later we all went out for an excellent lunch at the local Harvey House.

He brought the latest version of AED along, and showed me all the new features.  AED now has keyboard macros!  They are user definable, but he has predefined quite a few for you.  If you type two escapes in a row, the top 18 lines of the screen are used to display a menu of all the currently defined escape macros.  Escape followed by some other character inserts the corresponding text string at the current cursor position.

There is a utility program on the disk for use in defining your own macro strings, and it is very easy to use.  In fact, you use AED editing to modify simple DATA statements within the utility itself.  When you are through with your changes, the utility modifies the macro table within AED and on the disk.

Again I say, if you are not fully satisfied with your current stable of Applesoft programming aids, you owe it to yourself to buy AED.  It will save you countless hours of frustrating retyping as you create and edit and restructure and debug and modify Applesoft programs.
