I have some At first I must say, your post is one of the best I have ever seen for reporting problems, whishes and bugs. I will try to answer some of the questions the others I will try to fix (if possible for me). > 2.

As far as I remember, this appears, when you change the video mode to a new mode with more coloumns than the old. > 2.

This is, because this function uses real regular expressions (do not think about the wildcards from MS-DOS). The regex "*" means: nothing repeated any count. If you want to get a list, which maches all, you have to there either nothing or ".*" which means: any character repeated any count. > 3.

You can't (or at least I couldn't) open (using "File/Open" command) files > with names that have no suffix (like "makefile" for example). This is a "feature" of DJGPP. My be this will be changed or not becuase, if you interpret the wildcard "*.*" correct, so it means a filename, which has something before a dot and something after a dot and the name "makefile" does not match this wildcard. To get all files, you should use the wildcard "*". > 2. "Help" should move to separate menu instead of being submenu of "File" I would do it, but in some languages the menu titles are longer than the english words and in that case the menubar would be larger than 80 characters (the free memory is shown also in the menu bar). > 5.

This is correct, becuase that menu entry makes sense ONLY when building a pascal program and then it used as the primary file for the "automake" feature of GPC. When programming in any other language you don't need a "Primary file". > 7. In info file describing pull-down menus menu "Debug" is omited. Oh thanks. > 1. Searching in info files When the help window is opened, hit Ctr+S. (Hit F1 for getting help about the INFO viewer, but this assumes that you have installed the file "infview.inf" from Beta5). > 2.
