WDSC Tutorials (was RE: OF indicator confusion)

I've never really got to grips with WDSC, only using it occasionally to work
offline when I'm out and about or to upload source members. Does anybody
know of any "WDSC for Dummies" type guides or tutorials that are available -
I'd be especially interested in finding out more about the Code Designer
that Jerry mentions.

Thanks

Jonathan

I did the same thing, Tom: Internally-defined printer files. The only
way to define externally-described printer files was either manually,
which can be painful, or RLU, which is more painful. When WDSc came
bundled, though, and included Code Designer, my life changed
(hallelujah!). I still wind up fine-tuning the DDS manually upon
occasion, but by then it's just a matter of adding a keyword (HIGHLIGHT,
UNDERLINE, or such) here and there.

Is EXCPT even recognized by RSE as a free-form op-code? Since switching
to externally-described printer files, I haven't had to use it, so I
wouldn't know.
