It is especially frustrating that Esc >means kill last change, rather than accept as in Vi. Apple Pascal is up to version 1.3. It works with 3.5" drives and the extended memory available on the //e or //c. It's pretty much the same thing, but there is an upgrade available...I'll post the address later. The price is $125. You'll have to send the manual cover or something as proof of ownership. The new manual, 1.3, is much nicer (and heavier). The ESC button bothered me, until I remembered that when you press ESC after an insert or delete, the text is copied into the buffer. So all you have to do after typing ESC is press "C" (for copy) and then "B" (for from buffer). It will restore what ESC destroyed. This has been a life saver for me several times. Another thing you might be able to do is use the setup utility to remap the keyboard so that the esc and ^C keys are reversed. I haven't tried this, but it shouldn't be hard to do it on a backup disk as an experiment. The program is located on the APPLE3: volume. -- -- Mike A.
