This is all I had to do.  I tested with both and this fixed it.  I
used the DOS source and made the change in the file.c module inside
the MSDOS if/def loop.

The attribute flags work the same and everything seems to function
just fine for me.  I intend to add to the javamode.sl to give me
direct compile without using the SHELL command next.

Good work on the editor.  I used to use BRIEF but like this.  The only
thing I miss is block copying (not row copying) where I could delete a
column of characters.

Any chance on getting that soon?
