I recently updated my Semware with the newest version. The version I had been using was from 2005. I've got most things working, but I used to be able to click on a character, press Shift, and scroll to anywhere and the area I had scrolled through was highlignted. I can no longer do that and don't know what I need to add to the .ui file to enable that. Any suggestions? (using the old .ui file doesn't help).

This is specific to a recent win.ui change.

I sounds like you need to insert "cuamark" into TSE's Macro AutoLoad List menu, and restart TSE.

When it asks you 4 questions, answer only the 3rd one with Yes:
"Enable CUA Mouse Left-Button Marking (non-persistent block marking)?"

Using the new win.ui you should answer the other 3 questions with No, because the new win.ui already implements them without using the cuamark macro.

Wow, 2005 and I thought I was slow to upgrade.
Is that a mouse click? In GUI version? Windows (only?) version ?
Sounds handy tho my fingers are pretty adept and moving with keys.

I'm using the Windows version. I have to admit I'm unaware or the   Macro AutoLoad List Carlo and I'm not sure how to get to it. I'm trying to go through the help menu now to find it.

Go to TSE's main menu with either the key <Escape> or <F10>.
In the main menu select "Macro", which pops up a submenu.
In the submenu, at its bottom, select "AutoLoad List".
Press the <Insert> key and type "cuamark" plus <Enter>.
Press <Enter> again to close the AutoLoad List.
TSE's "cuamark" macro will now load every time TSE is (re)started.
Restart TSE.
You should get cuamark's 4 questions as mentioned earlier.
If you do not get the questions, then force getting them by going to the main menu, select Macro, select Execute, and enter "cuamerk" plus <Enter>.
See the earlier mail for how to answer them if you use the new win.ui.
