RE: Preferences - LPEX Editor

Jerry, this might be a dumb question but...

are you sure the source member you have open is of the correct type?  Is
it RPGLE or what?

Under Preferences/Remote Systems/iSeries/LPEX Editor Parsers/...  there
is CL,COBOL,DDS,ILE RPG, and RPG/400.

I don't know but it sounds to me like the LPEX editor doesn't like your
source type for some reason so isn't using the preference settings you
are defining.

John.

Well, even though I didn't hold out much hope, I uninstalled both WDSc 
6.0 and 5.1.2, then installed 6.0 from scratch and installed the 
updates.  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.
