Re: [ jEdit-users ] using the same macro on macs and windows.

[Pete P. <pet...@cy...>]

Macros under Mac OS X or Windows should be the same, meaning one macro 
per file. I noticed on the url you mention below that there is this error:

In file: C:\Documents and Settings\thomas\.jedit\macros\abbrevs.bsh 
Encountered "[" at line 1, column 1.

Is the first line in the file: [global] ? I think perhaps they gave you 
an 'abbrevs' file. This would have no extension, and would live in your 
jedit directory, which for you would be here:

   C:\Documents and Settings\thomas\.jedit\abbrevs

The abbrevs file lets you expand abbreviations in jEdit.

Try that and see what happens...

(Or post some of the source from the file, so we can help a bit more.)
