HISTORY EDIT edits your history with a nested Open/ed session.
HISTORY command Synonyms
HE HISTORY EDIT
HH HISTORY HELP
HI HISTORY INSERT
HL HISTORY LOCATE
HX HISTORY XEQ
8-bit Ascii.
All functions are checked to allow high (8th) bit on characters. ^200 to
^377 is supported in integer expressions. Open/ed has always allowed
this but this review checked it works everywhere.
Consolidation of help files.
Example : TOLOWER() is now in the TOUPPER() help file.
Discussion
----------
This release is mainly to add ease of use to HISTORY.
HISTORY mode options are updated including ADDER and UNIQUE.
These may still change name in the future.
Usually Open/ed mode options are off but HISTORY now has several on
by default.
DEFault : NUMBER, UNIQUE, XEQ, ADDERR, EDIT.
See the help entry for HISTORY_MODE.
Help command becomes HELP, no abbreviation. Makes way for HIS synonyms.
Added HISTORY command synonyms HE, HH, HI, HL, HX.
These are short cuts to HISTORY command options.
For example hx7 executes the 7th command line in history.
8-bit Ascii.
All functions are checked to allow high (8th) bit characters. ^nnn is
supported in integer expressions and functions.
Updated for 8 bit :
CHAR(), PEEK(), POKE().
FGETC() and FPUTC().
FGETS() and FPUTS().
STRFILL().
CAT() and SPLAT().
ISALTERN ().
ISPARITY () is deprecated. Use ISALTERN().

Bug fixes
---------
23-055 TRUNCATE() does not allow length/column of 0.
23-056 Memory fault caused by gspartpath().
23-057 AP at LINESZ gets gscpycsub () : Error : 'target_column' = 1025 !
Larger than MAX size of target 1024.
23-058 APPEND is still apending after last non space character.
23-059 MODE PRINT ; does nothing. Make error report.
23-060 NEW command proceeds after menu option 1. 1x2 reversed.
23-062 QUIT was not handling new trashwork() answer. Like 23-060.
23-063 Tidy position () calls moving them to workwrite ().
23-064 BS (delete) not erasing last char in line.
23-065 Memory fault in gpl:flines() returning.
23-066 fgrep() aborts on return.
Similar to 23-065. I think its an OS+Compiler upgrade thing.
23-067 gpl:parse sees nul token when source '"abc" ,' Stops at 1st SP.
Open bugs
---------
22-018 WHICH double reports on "." and same directory in PATH.
22-015 Shared mem still splits to different segments after crash.
23-007 Click on ALERT message sometimes does not register in alarm system.
23-029 MODE() help needs more constants for modes ...
LR,SR,TAB,WAITER,XT,EOL,MSG,SB,GREP,HISTORY,LP.
23-061 gshift errors when ... mode tab in ... unusual options ?
23-068 SCR_PAGE jumbles text on x86 Macos.
Workaround in place. Do MODE EPAGE.
23-069 ^200 up chars corrupt window borders and scroll bar.
23-070 flag.c : Internal error : TAG_LIST and tag.list = NUL
Open bugs discussion :
If Open/ed crashes and is restarted, it may start a new shared memory segment for alarms.
The only way around this is to exit all of your Open/ed sessions and
remove the control file : %alarms.control.file%.
The WHICH command examines each directory in PATH.
If '.' is specified and the same directory is also specified, then the
WHICH command will double report if the command is found.
If you page foreward or back in screen mode and see jumbled text from previous
pages, then this is 23-068. This appeared just before release in Decmber 2023.
You should only see it on x86 Macos, not on Arm or linux. There is a workaround
in place so you should not see it, but please report it if you do.
The integer value of a control character is ^X.
Quoted control codes needs a review.
