        Put this in your .edrc.
# INSERT SPACES TYPE TAB
map tab (repeat tr `` '')

        Try this.
        Put this in your .edrc.
# Invoke your compiler
map a-c (RX1 LC.dme ($filename))
#

        Put this in Rexx:  as LC.dme

/*  LC.dme    */
/*  dme macro to invoke LC*/
parse arg fn
address command LC '-L' fn

        No actually. Just DME & A68k. I went back to 1.31 cause I didn't
    like the 1.35+ handling of pathnames & filenames. I want both in the
    menu bar so I know where saveold will go. Sometimes if you have 4 or 7
    files in different windows, it is too easy to lose track, for me at
    least. It seems that 1.31 thinks its $filename is only the original.
    At least, I think it does. I hacked around at it a bit & might have
    broken something.
