heading(MINCE Extensions by Dave W. Smith) Begin(Verbatim) address(August 7, 1981) Enclosed is a listing of some additional commands derived from EMACS & co. The commands to toggle the case of a character, and to write the file and exit are straightforward, and should require no additional discussion. However, the command to find matching delimiters may need a bit of explanation. First note that the delimiter to match is extracted from the command by masking off the meta and Control-X bits. This means that you can add the command as either C-X- or M- with the same effect. I chose the M- form because I was used to it from another editor. The second point, which may interest those who attempt to use 'MoveTo' and 'MovePast' from Support.C, is that I rolled my own search code after choosing not to use 'MoveTo'. One obvious approach to searching for a delimiteris to use 'MoveTo', passing it a predicate function that keeps track of matching delimiters on the side, such that the predicate returns true only when it sees the delimiter that really matches. This works in most cases, and is a fairly elegant solution. However, 'MoveTo' checks first to see if you've moved backward to the start of the buffer, and returns WITHOUT CALLING THE PREDICATE if you have. Thus if you're searching for a matching delimiter that happens to be the first character in the buffer, the search will fail! This isn't a problem if you're searching forward in the file. Moral ( Beware of tricky predicates! ) I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully added an equivalent to the EMACS M-! command (move line to top of foot(I looked in my EMACS Manual, corresponding to EMACS version 150, and can't find M-! or a ^R command that seems to correspond. -Barry). If you've managed to do it, PLEASE submit the code to AUG. I've tried a couple of times, but I can't seem to make it work in all cases. display(-Enjoy Dave W. Smith 450 N.
