Jerry, This isn't going to help you much, but, I just installed V6 on Thursday and I am not having the issues you are having. After I installed I went and set the same preferences that you did. Those being: to repeat the same spec and the automatic "Endxx" feature and they work fine. As for the new line not splitting the text like a word editor, the user key action you are looking for is "splitLine". Notice the capitalization of the "L" in line and the lack thereof in the "s". The functions are case sensitive. I have noticed that it doesn't always work when I hit enter even though I have it set up, I don't know why. Are there any other preferences you are setting that you didn't mention that might be causing the conflict? If so I can compare them to my own.

Re-define my preferences which should handle these issues. Didn't work. All of the issues, which I stated below, still exist. Since one respondent said that these work fine for him, I can again only surmise that there is some preference, somewhere that conflicts with or overrides these. If so, it isn't obvious (to moi, anyway) as I went through every single preference section and every panel within each section. As far as the "Enter" key issue goes, there is a workaround (Ctl+Enter). The action 'newLine' may not be the proper action, but it was the only one that I could find that made sense, and it was the option I used in 5.1.2. But the change I made to the "backSpace" key ('left') works fine in 6.0. I don't expect any responses as everyone has already had a look at this, if they wanted to. But if anyone should have an epiphany, give me a buzz. Thanks. * Jerry C.
